...WWE has finally taken the cake for stupid ideas and has BANNED wrestlers from whipping their opponents into the guard rail. Apparently this is as a precaution to the fans rather than the wrestlers themselves...either way, it's plain stupid.

While Shane McMahon holds the prestigious title of being 'Only Tolerable McMahon on TV', I cannot forgive him for stealing a move that Van Dam invented. There once was a time when no-one used some other guy's trademark moves, but Shane doesn't just steal the move from someone in the same company, he steals it from someone on the sam show as him.
Yet again, the McMahons contribute to the decline of the wrestling industry

Yeah, when he jumped he landed on Test's foot so he broke it. Yep, he did use the steel steps against Kane, was quite good :)

You've lost me now :) I stopped watching wrestling about 9 months ago. I just catch a minute of it here and there.

And more recently with the steel steps, from what I've gathered (I haven't watched lately). It was how Test broke his foot, wasn't it, with Shane lansing incorrectly on Test's foot?

Ah yes, WrestleMainia. But with the more crap trash can.

I think that's on a strict basis, whereby it's used only in special circumstances where it's based as being essential to the storyline (Undertaker tombstoning Rock onto a car for huge effect a while ago, Kane tombstoning Linda etc etc etc).
It's used as a injury-inducing move, like someone goinhg out deliberately to break a guy's fingers (Raven on AJ Styles in TNA a while back)

That is it, I've had it with the WWE.
They've banned the Tombstone.
They've banned the Vertebreaker.
They've banned Overhead Belly-to-Belly suplexes.
They've banned whipping wrestlers into the guard rail.
They've banned a whole lot of other things I don't know about.
And then they have the nerve to wonder why people are switching off?
The McMahons put themselves in the main events, hyping themselves as the main reason for people watching - I never thought any business could be as arrogant as that. Say what you like about Vince saving wrestling, that counts for nothing now, he's burying it all over again. I don't watch it anymore, because there is just no point for someone like me, who's more interested in the wrestling than how many women Vince can look as though he's screwing or how many times the McMahons can be the stars of the PPVs.
It seems to me as though McMahon is far too interested in the money side of the business, and is neglecting the wrestling, as shown by the banning of the above moves. Of course finance is important, but when you have as much money as the McMahons at your disposal, there is absolutely no excuse for putting out such a dire, dire product. They're too wrapped up in keeping wrestlers at 100%, but wrestlers never wrestle at 100%, for obvious reasons. I understand there's got to be an element of safety for the wrestlers, because I don't want to see wrestlers break their bodies just for my 'entertainment' - I don't don't find blood etc. particularly entertaining on its own. But we can't be left in a situation whereby the wrestling comes second to money.
I know there are some out there who prefer a storyline to the wrestling, but I don't want to see Kane and Shane trying to kill one another in cartoon fashion, I want to see Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero wrestle their hearts out, or RVD and Rhyno putting on a powerful ECW-style spot-fest, held together with a good in-ring psychology. I'm fed up, I'm sick, and yes, I'm damn tired of putting up with the rubbish WWE feel they can get away with putting out each week.
They've lost a fan, but knowing the egotistic excuses for wrestling promoters that are the McMahons, I doubt they'd care.
