TheBigSwigg 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2004 Since I don't quite know which ones are banned, and I'm seriously wondering which ones are, I thought I'd ask. I know that piledrivers are banned, but what else and why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2004 The Vertebreaker, anyone doing a choke slam other than Taker, Kane, and Big Show, most forms of good wrestling sequences that involve acrobatics, and the bookers putting the ink to the paper that would give any cruiser not named Guerrero or Mysterio a push ; ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2004 Any sort of head drop is banned except for special circumstances (i.e. whenever Taker pulls enough strings to use the Tombstone) Mostly it's real versions of moves that are banned like: the DVD and Brainbuster. That's why Cena doesn't do a real DVD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBigSwigg 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 Is the DDT banned? I've heard several people say so, but I'm never sure as some people use it as finishers. I've heard Jake Roberts say that anyone who does it right will hurt someone, but can you really believe him? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 Christ did I just warp to the idiot board? Of course if you do a DDT correctly (driving someone's head into an ungiving surface) it will hurt someone. The WWE doesn't advocate the habitual use of any piledrivers and or moves involving much timed acrobatics (Overhead belly to belly). they will be used to some extent if necessary.

The DDT's they do now aren't always done the way Jake did them originally. I think I read in a shoot interview review that Jake accidentally came up with the move by slipping while he had someone in a front face lock. That's what I mean. i'm not talking about "literally" doing a DDT, I'm talking about how it was originally done. In that interview Jake said that no one now, not even Raven, does the DDT correctly EDIT: Jake the Snake Shoot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Chavo doesn't do a real brainbuster. It makes their moves look dumb and painless. Michael Cole even called Chavo's brainbuster a "suplex" on Smackdown before Tazz corrected him. Idiot.

Nevermortal 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 I'm not a fan of the banning of moves, but I do like the fact that when they do use them every once in a blue moon, it really means something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dace59 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 Just because a move is hardly used, doesn't mean it always been something. It still has to be built to mean something, or put over that it does. You could bring up the whole look over condition that lead to more injuries, but eh, if the WWE wants to tone down some moves fine, but wrestlers really need to expand the lower end moves for that to work. If the WWE move culter moved away from a hand full of sig moves, to everyone have a very board range of low and mid level moves along with their signutre moves, any of the higher end moves would look deadly. But that's not the way it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhenDanSaysJump 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 All non-sitout powerbombs also seem to be banned.

Every report I've heard was that when Taker returned at Judgment Day 2000 he gave HHH a Tombstone that impacted his head too hard and gave him a stinger.
