"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.

It already is if you include Hulk Hogans...

that's the point, the story was that vince would beat austin with his own move.

i don't think they've banned the tombstone, but the emphasis is shifting away from big bumps because they've had too many people out injured or needing surgery, and if you're paying someone while they're not working then that's bad for business. Plus, if a worker picks up a serious injury (for example, stone colds neck and back) then it limits their in-ring abilities (no more backdrops, piledrivers or real high impact moves), which is why stone cold was a 5 move wonder when he came back (punch, kick, whoopass press, flip the bird and stunner :) )

That's the point...no one takes it seriously as a finisher.

Heh. :D Yeah, I suppose you're right... :)
