I'm sure it's been said already, but Matt Hardy will be upset.

Soon the only moves that will be allowed will be shoulder blocks, 'five knuckle' shots to the head, and of course the dreaded stf... at least there will be someone who can still work their current style this is totally off your topic, but I wanted to say that I totally LMAO'd at your banner.. I really couldn't see him.. I actually had to tilt the the computer to see the outline!!

So they've given Swagger a move which most people attribute to Kurt Angle, who is still one of TNA's biggest stars, and that isn't a problem.
Such a strange business, this wrestling malarky.

Could be worse. Imagine what would have happened if Dean Malenko replaced Ric Flair and joined TNA after a WWE sendoff. They'd have to ban all moves so as not to remind the fans of him, since you know, he knows them all...
*post is not entirely serious, just throwing that out there as this place seems to be on edge today*

That just shows how influential Flair is and how respected he is by fans. The fact that people do something in response based on a wrestler to a move done by anyone is pretty phenomenal.

If that's true, then Ricky Steamboat could never work another match in WWE. That's why they sent Otunga out last week I get the feeling this could be false, but knowing how un predictable they are...

If that's true, then Ricky Steamboat could never work another match in WWE. Nah, he could still put a match together. But if they banned the armdrag, then he'd be screwed.

That has to be the most asinine ban in the history of our sport what next banning the finishing move.

Raw's on in a few hours, right?
Should be fun to watch. This could be one of the quickest discredited bits of news in quite a while.

Sounds to me like Vince must have putchased the old NWA Rulebook from 1975 along with all that footage of the promotion. If it's true we have this to look forward to - So there we go, no more judo chops or karate thrusts to the throat. Vince also gets a pig every month and can walk his cattle down the main street of stamford. I wish I knew about that $50 reward that time I went to Nitro, I'd be a millionaire.

It would be funny if they had somebody at ringside trying to keep the fans calm everytime there was a chop.

Bret Hart should be happy. He whined like a little ***** about Flair's chops in his book.
Vince McMahon is one of the dumbest human beings on the planet so I have no doubt that this is true. You want to know why the WWE is losing more fans to MMA...one of the reasons is because of little stupid stuff like this.
Banning chair shots to the head I totally agree with. It's dumb to take a shot to the head. Don't agree with the blood ban because I think certain feuds need a little blood. McMahon should have done a gusher in his "match" against Bret Hart at Wrestlemania for example.
I like the open handed chop (or slap) to the chest a little better I have to admit but this is just plain stupid.

I never thought I would say this but Vince needs to go, all this banning of shit is making the product completely lifeless.

How are chops making things lifeless? I mean just watch as tonight most everybody starts using chops.
Also ever since HBK got retired nobody has used chops. It's all forearms and punches nowadays.

It's all forearms and punches nowadays. its not just chops theres no chair shots, blood, pile drivers and nearly every wrestler wrestles the same style. There is just no diversity and it's lifeless to me. It also doesn't help that nearly every heel and babyface are written the same way besides a select few.

Chair shots to the back make more sense, as we're trying to cut down on Concussions. Kurt's neck broke because of a Brock Lesnar Chair Shot.
WWE has the most brutal schedule in all of pro wrestling. Piledrivers aren't used so what. But you already have made your mind up about how brutal wrestling should be.
I don't really care about stiffness, blood, or violence.

Unless Khali suddenly gets released tomorrow morning, this is bullshit people.

I have no problem with banning chair shots to the head. It's idiotic to be taking stiff chair shots to the head and considering everything that is being learned about concussions, it is very wise that the WWE has banned that.
Otherwise, I agree. Everything has to be McMahon's boring, generic WWE way. It results in a completely boring product.
