"The Height of Stupidity..."

...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.

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?

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

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 :)

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

It's just sad, isn't it?

*cough* Shamrock Ankle lock, Kurt Angle *cough*

Heh. :D Thats true but Angle didn't start using that move till years and years after Shamrock left the WWE... To be fair, the move did need to be brought back into the WWE in some way. :)

What about stone cold stunner and the mcmahon stunner, their practically the same.

Precaution to the fans? I bet some moron has got himself in the way of a flailing arm of a wrestler or something and tried to sue WWE because of it hence the move being banned.
Did you ever hear ECW fans moaning because a wrestler accidentally bumped into them? Hell they'd be too busy chanting E-C-DUBYA with some broken teeth laying on the floor with RVD laying on top of them to care. But then again ECW p's on WWE from a very, very great height on SO many levels. *Sniff* bring it back if you can Heyman, please bring it back, i can't stand this Mcmahon-Helmsley tosh any longer.

Oh yeah...they also banned the overhead belly-to-belly suplex because of the risk to wrestlers necks.

One day WWE wrestlers will only be able to punch each other and then Austin, HHH and Rock will look like the best wrestlers in the world, a leg drop will be an acceptable finisher and a chop will be the only move canadians use.
