What ever happened to the bodyslam? It’s the most basic of wrestling moves, but I feel like I don’t see it too much anymore. Am I hallucinating? If not what are some other “regular” moves that have gone the way of the Dodo bird?

Might be wrong but I don't see a lotta hip-tosses these days.

Never see anyone ever use and grab the ropes for leverage

Arm wringers seem pretty rare these days.

I feel like the Atomic Drop is on the endangered species list.

The Atomic Drop doesn't get the love it used to.
I was gonna say The Airplane Spin, but it has gotten something of a resurgence lately.

I can only guess, but I'm figuring that since it's a bump on a not particularly flashy move, they'd rather save their bumps for something more interesting. I do remember Zeke/Big Ryck using them, but not a whole lot of other folk in recent years. |

I rarely see the abdominal stretch anymore. After Gorilla Monsoon's passing nobody could figure out how to do it correctly anymore. |

Absolutely LOVED the heart punch. Really wish someone would bring it back. Would’ve worked great with a monster like Strowman and be the safest finish in a world of injuries. |

Not that I haven't seen it, but a sunset flip used to be a legit way to win a match.

the Full Nelson doesn't seem to get a lot of love... or either the regular or Inverted atomic drop. Not that I haven't seen it, but a sunset flip used to be a legit way to win a match. For that matter, same with the Victory Roll. Then people start complaining that people are winning via roll ups for some reason. |

Heel shit in general is a dying art. You very rarely see eye pokes, folks using the ropes for leverage on submission holds, all sorts of stuff.
Only in WWE mind, it's still very much a thing everywhere else.
