Safety? Overdone? Looks stupid?
What are some moves that you feel need to be used less (or not at all)?
German/Belly to Belly suplexes
Neck injuries and so much can go wrong once the wrestler is released. I remember reading someone saying they won’t take Germans anymore and if you look back through history neck injuries started becoming more prevalent along with German suplexes. Same logic for Belly to Belly.
Spinning backhand/elbows
Looking at you Jericho and Kingston These look horrible and always will. Jericho has a plethora of moves and Kingston using any old school japanese finisher would work with his character.
The dive over the ropes and onto 10 guys that fall apart like bowling pins. It’s unbelievable but it’s not horrible, just way overdone IMHO.
Aja Kong didn’t like this.
I don’t like draping DDTs. They don’t look any better than a normal DDT and they’re waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy more dangerous.
Also not a fan of sitout piledrivers but in AEW they take them more safely than guys did in the past.
Oh, I also don’t like the figure four, because it’s impossible to visually tell who is supposed to be in pain. I know that one is never going away, though. I also don’t like the atomic drop because it usually looks dumb and like it wouldn’t hurt at all (sorry Bret, even yours and Kenny’s).
