edit to add: The spots that have become common but scare the devil outta me are the ones using the ring apron as either an impact point or that involve coming down too near the apron. Those rings ain't made out of styrofoam and there's not enough padding there as far as I can tell for me to feel comfortable with those spots.

I could be wrong and these moves are perfectly safe. It's just jarring to see the difference in WWE and other companies. I remember looking up some of the Steen-Generico fights a year or so back and they do a lot of moves that seem to be much riskier than anything you see in WWE. Package piledriver being one of them.

This was the one move that scared me the most in that match. Just seems so dangerous.
