Current WWF Champion
So lately the wwe has been featuring more stiff kicks, punches and submission holds in matches. With wrestlers the likes Daniel Bryan, CM Punk and others coming from strong, stiff style wrestling company's (such as roh) it seems like this style of wrestling is starting to become more prominent. I don't know what you'd call it, a more MMA style or just stiffer wrestling. Remember back when you'd never really hear the loud slap of a fist connecting with a face, just a good ol stomp on the mat? We've seen CM Punk throw knees, kicks to the legs and kicks to the head. We've got Daniel Bryan with his badass missile dropkick, flying knees, strong loud kicks to the chest and legs (see Bryan vs Barret at Summerslam) AND a submission finisher. Alberto del rio uses stiff kicks AND submission finisher. Sin Cara uses stiff leg kicks. I've noticed Christian always gets that loud slap out of a punch to Orton. The list goes on...
Now has this stiff/strong style of wrestling been used for ages I've just been missing it??
Are they trying to appeal more to UFC fans by showcasing more submissions, stiff kicks, stiff punches??
Is this their shot at bringing more of a MMA feel or is it just strong style wrestling the likes of ROH??
Thoughts?
