Maybe the safe style, maybe just modifying the arsenal as you get older and want to be more safe.
Just what moves do you miss that certain wrestlers just stopped using?
Booker T - Harlem Hangover Benoit - Dragon Suplex (which recently returned on Velocity) The Rock - Maivia Hurricane (I loved that move on Playstation) Cena - that Fu he was using around the end of his Smackdown run. Austin - the Million dollar dream. Rey Mysterio - the pre 619, fake out. RVD - the Van Daminator (I mean I can understand why they don't want him to use it, and why he's limited under the wwe style, since a lot of his cool "innovative" maneuvers involve tables and chairs as opposed to actual "legal" wrestling moves).
Face Trish/Wcw Molly - I totally forgot about that turnbuckle flip/handstand hurricanrana thing. And am I the only one who remember that she (trish) did a top rope hurricanrana (luchadore style) once and never did it again?
Eddie guerrero question: Is the Gory bomb any different from teh Gory Guerrero special? It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure he used to use this really cool move in wcw that I haven't seen in a while. O yeah, and he's stopped using the Frog splash.

The Gory bomb is different from the Gory Special.The Gory bomb is a,well drop move,and the Gory Special is a submission.
I miss the Triple H knee smash.You know where the guy was running at him and Hunter would would put 1 of his knees up and smash it in his face.

My word your sig is gigantic, EZ
Trish's top rope Hurricanrana was called the Stratusfear, and she used to do it in almost every match when she was still a good guy.
I miss the standing Harlem Hangover Booker T used to do.

The Gory bomb is different from the Gory Special.The Gory bomb is a,well drop move,and the Gory Special is a submission. Same holding position, the Bomb is a released drop, the Special is just a stretch.

I love the Gory Bomb, just for the record. I also miss the Regal Cutter from Regal and the Power of the Punch. He is SO much better as a heel or an authority figure.

The Harlem Hangover was awesome. I never saw anyone kick out of that. I haven't seen the Juvi Driver lately. I think less moves to the neck are done to protect the wrestlers in the long term. The constant big bump era is over, those should be saved for big matches, ie jimmy snuka's jump off the cage, still talked about today, however no one ever talks about rikishi's big bumps, when he fell off the hell in a cell at armageddon 99 and off the cage against val venis for the IC title.

It wasn't that great when he "fell" off the cell because it was into a truck with like a 5 foot pile of soft sawdust on it. Although off the cage vs. Val was definitely a "Holy lots of manure" moment.

Speaking of Rikishi, I miss seeing the Rikishi Driver. And Piledrivers in general. Another reason why I'm thinking about not watching WWE anymore.

RVD - the Van Daminator (I mean I can understand why they don't want him to use it, and why he's limited under the wwe style, since a lot of his cool "innovative" maneuvers involve tables and chairs as opposed to actual "legal" wrestling moves). . they don't let RVD do that because he's legit hurt a lot of people with it and the Van Terminator. He busted Jericho's nose with a regular spin kick at Unforgiven 01 www.wrestlingencyclopedia.com/clips/wwfun10.WMVI wanted to include this clip just cause it's funny www.wrestlingencyclopedia.com/clips/wwfun9.WMVBryan Adams sells attack that don't even make contact. (which could be the Undertaker missing on purpose to make him look stupid)

"The Throwback" Cena's flip over neckbreaker.
Though I do have a theory as to why he stopped doing it, it looks kinda like the RKO

I know he did a top rope one in that match, but I'm talking about one delivered while standing on the mat. He may have done one in that match, but last time I remember it was against Spike Dudley on the 9/13/01 edition of SmackDown.

I hope somebody get to keep using the 450 now that London's switched to the SSP (I prefered the kidman version since it looks harder to do since he didn't tuck in his legs) and Juvi botched his 450.
What happened to Big show's other finishing move, and some of Edge's million finishing moves
Edgucator (the submission) Edge-O-matic (I don't even remember which One) Downward spiral (the original flatliner not gangrel's implant ddt)
He had a lot more, but I forgot what they were or their names. He used to be pretty damn intersting over on smackdown and i liked that he had so many different finishing moves.
Speaking of Edge: Conchairto

What about an elbow drop. I mean a solid elbow drop by a big guy that could end a match like EQ used to do
