I've noticed a somewhat disturbing trend lately among some wrestlers, who are now incorporating various kicks into their movesets, some of them connecting with the head.
This trend is disturbing because we've been kvetching about the lameness of the chairshots to the back; meanwhile, similar or worse damage to the head is likely being done with these kicks. So, I put to you the question: are you worried about the likes of Dolph Ziggler and others who are often on the receiving end of these kicks?

Not as much. It's a lot easier to pull a kick and still make it look good than it is with a chair.

No. There's kickpads and the guys on the receiving end know how to take them. I'd only worry if I started seeing Goldberg style thrust kicks.

No, and I still think the chairshots to the head are vastly overblown.

They should just stop wrestling altogether. It's much too dangerous.

A little yeah,but just because it only really takes one screw up..same could be said of many other moves though so...

Yes.
Any force being applied to the head is terrifying when you understand what it can do to someone medically in the long term.
That said, kicks are way easier to take and protect than stiff chairshots.

Clearly promos shouldn't be allowed either. We can't have them walk down to the ring either. That's a good way to tear a quad after all. In fact, we probably shouldn't let them stand either. Doing that for too long would probably put too much stress on their joints. I guess we can let them sit as long as they promise not for too long. Otherwise their legs might fall asleep.

Gotta give them Naomi's costume from the Halloween edition of NXT.

They should also ban closed hand punches to the head. C'mon guys open up those fists!

I am not because they are able to compensate for the kick.

Only if the guys don't know how to kick safely or how to protect themselves from the kick.
See Goldberg.

No. I think most of those head-kicks connect with upper the neck anyways.

I'm not worried as long as the person doing it isn't careless and knows how to protect the person he's kicking.
