They also banned chops, I heard that from Mike Knox himself.
If I remember correctly the 450 Splash is banned as well because of the high potential of injury
Firstly it has nothing to do with insurance. The WWE sees it's wrestlers as investments. The more they invest (tv time, wins etc) in a wrestler the more they have to lose when they take part in a high risk move. If a top guy like say Austin or Cena or Lesnar (at their peaks) takes a piledriver or whatever and is out for 8 months thats 8 months of the WWE not making money off of something (someone) they have put a lot of money into. The WWE also has the stance that you should be good enough to get over without having to use high risk moves. Basicly the WWE sees it as un-needed risks and are protecting their investments. I don't think there are any specific moves that are outright banned. High risk top rope moves (450, SSP etc) were banned unless it is by a highly skilled wrestler who they are confident can do it everytime.
The only move I can think of that is actually banned is the piledriver which is only banned in a certain state and I can't remember which one. The king still does it on occasion though.
Well if that is the case then why was Brock Lesnar(one of their biggest stars at the moment) allowed to try a shooting star press(a move that he only used before he was brought up from development) against Kurt Angle(another of their biggest stars) at Wrestlemania(WWEs biggest stage)?
erm... you did notice that he wasn't using that move at any point AFTER that little fuck up right?
Obviously they thought he was good enough at it to do it and found out they were wrong.
but what happened went directly against your assumption. also their have been numerous occasions where a wrestler has only done moves during ppv matches and sometimes only once.
on another note i do think this has to do with insurance. my sister is an actuary and with insurance as far as companies are concerned the more things you are seen doing that are viewed as risky the higher your premiums are raised. i think it was a cost cutting measure.
I'd like to see the kind of stuff they pull off in Mexico, Japan, and the Indies man WWE shouldn't have got rid of the cruiserweight division at the end it was just a big joke.![]()
