Bret Hart Believes Samoa Joe’s Muscle Buster Finisher is Too Dangerous

During a WWE “Superstars” match prior to “Monday Night Raw” on June 1, former WWE Tag Team Champion Tyson Kidd went one-on-one with NXT’s newest star, Samoa Joe.

Kidd suffered a serious neck injury following a Muscle Buster finisher from Joe that should keep him on the shelf for a year.

WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart chimed in on the injury during a recent interview with Sports Illustrated:

I only know that he’s hurt pretty bad and they’re crossing their fingers,” said Hart. “I’m not sure if he’s going to need surgery, but it seems to me there was a lot of poor planning involved in that injury. I don’t know whose fault it is or why an injury like that happened, but someone is accountable. The WWE has done a lot in the last few years to improve conditions for wrestlers. They have doctors there and they give wrestlers adequate time to prepare, but in looking at what happened with Tyson Kidd, clearly there is still a lot of room for improvement.

As it pertained to the finisher itself:

“It’s (Joe’s Muscle Buster) extremely dangerous. The move that Samoa Joe did was reckless, and the way they rushed that match beforehand in the back without giving Tyson time to prepare was mistake. Tyson is, pound for pound, one of the best wrestlers in the world. And that includes his mind. If you went behind the scenes at WWE, Tyson is an intricate piece of so many other matches. It’s a shame that a guy who is that talented and given so much to the company is hurt, but I just hope it’s not so serious that his career is over.”
