Hmmm. Didn't they already ban foreign objects in the ring, hitting the refs, and the Hulkster's hair? We'll see it if lasts. Good story, though. pd | |||||
| 2 | Tim G ID: 24454220 Sat, Jun 10, 23:43 | I've heard about kids trying these moves on their freinds, unfortunately with some success. I was watching WCW tonight and there is a match on PPV tomorrow where the winner will be decided by who sets the opponent on fire first. I grew up in the 70's, I thought we were all supposed to be hooked on Rollerball by now. | |||||

Not anyone over 30. Didn't you see Logan's Run? ;) | |||||
| 4 | Tim G ID: 24454220 Sun, Jun 11, 00:08 | I kind of remember Logan's Run Perm Dude, wasn't everyone over 30 hunted for sport? | |||||
| 5 | Perm Dude ID: 45547110 Sun, Jun 11, 00:47 | That's the one. Nowadays they would be hunted down for those haircuts. | |||||
| 6 | Mike D ID: 27552116 Sun, Jun 11, 07:05 | Perm Dude, as Bobby the Brain used to say (when partnered with the late Gorilla Monsoon), "What foreign object? I didn't see anything." | |||||

I agree with the article that if it's not played up on TV, probably nobody will notice it much. This is unlike WCW the other year when the outlawed the powerbomb and then advertised it all over the place, that was just stupid. (This was after Nash and The Giant screwed up a powerbomb and the Giant almost ended up with a broken neck)
Wasn't Droz paralyzed by a pile driver gone bad? | |||||
| 8 | Mike D ID: 1417106 Mon, Jun 12, 06:53 | I don't think so (regarding Droz). I think it was a gut wrench suplex where Brown couldn't get Droz over and he dropped him on his head. I did this to my older brother once, onto a bed, and it scared me to death. | |||||
| 9 | Schwag 420 ID: 244362917 Thu, Jun 15, 17:33 | They decided to ban the piledriver after HHH lost feeling for a few minutes in his arms after a tombstone piledriver from The Undertaker at the last PPV. | |||||
| 10 | Mike D, Guru Jr. ID: 175261320 Sat, Jun 17, 07:40 | Scary how many injuries occur, and how many more almost do. | |||||
| 11 | Jay-P ID: 1640221 Fri, Jun 23, 14:58 | Wasn't Droz injured, when D. Lo tried to do his infamous running powerbomb? | |||||
| 12 | Mike D ID: 305392220 Fri, Jun 23, 20:12 | Jay-P, I can't exactly remember. I've read several articles since then about the incident, and I just remember that Brown "couldn't get Droz over." Over on what move? I guessed the gut-wrench above. Maybe it was a powerbomb. I may have to look this one up now. | |||||
| 13 | Jay-P ID: 1640221 Sun, Jun 25, 00:36 | It doesn't really matter what move caused the injury, the fact is, even trained professionals can make mistakes, and that's what happened. More and more "backyard wrestlers" are doing insane things are lack the training, which leads to numerous injuries to be suffered. Then, the media cries foul to the WWF that they're inciting this violent mimic violence. | |||||
| 14 | Mike D ID: 15525246 Sun, Jun 25, 08:38 | Agreed, Jay-P. I used to participate in some of that "untrained" grappling. No serious injuries reported, but several bumps and bruises. Just ask my brother Steve. ;) | |||||
