Chops now banned by WWE

[generationxero]

The latest thing that has been banned in WWE by Vince McMahon is chops (Ric Flair style chest chops) not being allowed reports The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. This does not include the straight down chops performed by The Great Khali or the hand print chops by The Big show. The general feeling is that McMahon doesn't want people doing the chops as the reaction live among wrestling fans is to do the Ric Flair "Wooooo!" and it reminds people of Flair, something they obviously don't want given he is working for the opposition at the moment.

I doubt this is true, but if it is.....oh, f*** off!

Figure Four, you're next! WOOO!

The Flair-chop was horribly outdated as a manuver in an age dominated by MMA anyway. Seriously, its as archaic as the helicopter spin by now. All it did was get a cheap WOOO pop and I doubt McMahon wants that now.

Now, if only they'll give submissions an 80% "kill" rate and STOP USING THE SNORKING WALLS AS A RESTHOLD, maybe the wrestling world will look more up to date in terms of actual fighting.

This was utter BS last week when Yoshi did them on SS and it's stil utter BS this week for the same exact reason

Well, then, no one in WWE should do a punch, since Hogan would do them three in a row. And Michelle McCool can't use the f***in' Faith Breaker because it's the f***in' Styles Clash anyway. Has Vince been clued in on that?

Someone brought this up on another thread, and a classic reaction:

Mark Henry: NO MORE PORK CHOPS?!

[Tom S]

You know ive heard a little about wrestlers not using chops much anymore on here for the past few weeks.

Honestly, i've seen so much being discussed on these forums and soon after appearing on wrestling newz sites, it's so obvious that most of this bullshit they are posting is just complete speculation based on what people on the crap are observiing, yeah and even Meltzer spouts bs alot too.

Jericho mentioned no chops in the interview where he trashed the Attitude era.

[theryno665]

So that's why Runjin Singh dumped The Great Khali...

...oh, you mean CHEST chops. Never mind.

[Apricots And A Pear Tree]

Oh that would just be petty and dumb.But since this is wrestling,it could be true.

[Big L]

Next he's gonna say john morrison can't wear those shades anymore bc it'll remind the fans of Elijah Burke who now goes by the pope in tna

[brettappedout (BLM)]

This came out like last week or two weeks, then after I saw Bourne do chops, Yoshi do chops, so maybe doing a certain amount of chops is banned, but doing a couple is fine.

BULLS***

If that's true, then Ricky Steamboat could never work another match in WWE.

Here's the quote:

No choking – fine. No chopping – fine. It takes two or three matches to get used to it but that's it.

Something about that doesn't add up. The interview was about two week ago, and the way he talks about it makes it seem like it came into effect quite a while ago. Yet, people haven't stopped using the chops. Someone mentioned Yoshi using them on Superstars.

I don't think it's true anyway. It just seems like another way to get people to say "Grrr! I hate those WWE folk! Grrr!"

If it's true, than it rules out HBK ever returning.
