Watching RAW, I got into a conversation about moves you just don't see anymore in the WWE.
NOT the "Safe Style" ones like various piledrivers and crazy flips. More along the lines of:
Face Rake Back Rake Chest Rake Eyes rubbed on the ropes ..... I guess you could say 65% of Hogan's offense.

I'm trying to remember the last time that I saw a proper eye gouge(not including any done by Piper in his various appearances)

Does anyone on the roster do a belly to belly suplex? Last person I remember using it with any regularity was MVP.

There's definitely been cases of heels or even faces winning with thumbs-to-the-eye prior to a roll-up or finisher lately, but that's still probably not a proper eye poke.

Barrett used the eye gouge and rope to the face tactic against Kofi a few weeks before he won the title.

Non-Shield Dean Ambrose is a big fan of the back/chest rake. Austin Aries in Impact Wrestling also uses the back/chest rake fairly regularly.

I forget the last time I saw a Russian leg sweep. Maybe Punk?

Sandow does it regularly.

Drop toe holds used to be in damn near every match, then one day they just vanished. It was a move I took for granted as just a basic thing, and it took me a while to notice its absence.

I forget the last time I saw a Russian leg sweep. Maybe Punk? Rock did one at the Rumble, plus its one of Sandow's signature moves. I haven't seen any full-nelson based moves in a while.

I forget the last time I saw a Russian leg sweep. Maybe Punk? Sandow, Cody and Kofi all use Russian leg sweeps. I'm sure Slater does as well doesn't he?

Which is amusing, because a few years ago, every motherf***er on the roster had a powerbomb, including several divas. The powerbomb is my favourite move though so I mark for it regardless.
