I remember watching Heyman on Steve Austin's show a few years back, when he talked about how uneccessary some of these over the top stops were, especially on TV shows that nobody is going to remember next week.

He also talked about the fact that a good worker with the right mindset can make something like the Sleeper look like the most devestating finisher ever.

I remember in Stampede Wrestling the Sleeper was an outright deadly secretive move that was so deadly that if the winner didn't wake the loser up after the match, the loser could suffer devestating brain damage.

Meanwhile in modern wrestling, moves that should be finishers or devastating are being kicked out like they're headlocks, so of course these workers are coming up with these stupid moves that they don't know how do do, and the opponent has no idea how to protect him or her self.

The DDT has been completely watered down, so is the pile driver and things like power bombs (Which was the finishing move of sh$tty big guys).

Big moves, bleeding, finishers have no effect on modern wrestling anymore. It feels like Moxley probably even bleeds at home. Renee asks him to take out the garbage and he comes stumbling back in bleeding like a stuck pig with a wedge of pasta in his head, and Renee rolls her eyes and goes back to reading her paper.

When I look back on the piledriver that shook the world (Funk on Flair), the DDT by Jake the Snake. Christ even the step over toe hold where you would worry about the health of the victim who laid out in the ring. Now these idiots are getting piledriven 6 times on the ramp and bouncing right up. Or it takes 5 finishing moves to pin a person.

You know what I'd like. Someone to come out with a finisher that is like a devastating snap mare. Or a earth shaking power slam.

I think Lance Storm is working for Impact, and some of the good work of the workers comes from him. But bring in guys like Bret Hart, or other story tellers and tell the workers to talk to them and take their advice or your fired.


We're going to head into another era of these workers being debilitated when they're older.
