The thing is that they aren't risking their lives. Aside from a handful of wrestlers, most of the WWE roster are part-time independant contractors. They have the option to say no to any stunt that may occur. (although the probability of them not appearing on any following shows is likely if that happens)
No move is forced, just because VinnieMac says so. Booker T refuses to use a full basket scissors kick because it is extremely dangerous if the other guy does not land correctly. He only uses it in PPV's and high profile matches. Otherwise, he just uses the one leg scissor, which is much safer.
The best matches are generally not the most violent ones. Chairs, Ladders, Tables, Cages, are just incentive for people who are tired of the standard match. Great matches have ups, and downs, backs and forths between the wrestlers involved. It doesn't have to be technically sound, nor does it have to have any spectacular moves. It just needs to flow well, and be as 'real' as possible for the fans to see.
Broken bones and blood are not something to strive for. If you break something, it will just cause you to either:
a) do worse in the ring, because with the broken something or other, you can't do your regular moves
b) can't wrestle, because you are out to heal
