"I will say that one of the most painful finishing moves is, and I've said this on here before, but the Alabama Slammer, one of my least favorite moves to take. Patriot used to do it to me in Japan, and Bob Holly, of course. You're up there and you're just waiting to take this back bump and hope that you don't bounce the back of your head off the mat, and there's so much momentum going with it as you can see. You know, it's not a very soft bump to take."
"I mean it's similar in the way that your body is moving kind of backwards, you know, like you're up and your feet are out and then you're going back, you could easily hit the back of your head on the mat, and often do, bounce off. Sometimes you can land flat or you could land, you know, more vertical and just land on the back of your shoulders and your head, like boom. Like so a lot of variables with that one, but I wouldn't say that it's just easy to take." Said the WWE Hall of Famer.
