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.
Every and any move that requires landing on your knees. Tombstones, Hangman’s deadeye, that shit is going to make you into a semi-mobile cripple faster than you can say “That doesn’t work for me, Brother.”
I still remember Taker’s interview with Rogan where he detailed how they had to split one of his muscles to replace a shoulder muscle he tore so badly, repeatedly, and gradually it was literally just gone, due to his finisher requiring he carry the entirety of the opponent’s weight on his shoulders and then give it a jarring shock, landing with the sum of his and theirs on his kneecaps. Between that and his leg drop on the apron I can’t imagine any good reason to do this to yourself for decades.
