Pro Wrestling History Q&A

[Celtics_Champs]

Interesting. Sometimes I find it offensive if someone' s finisher was part of another one's moveset. they make the move look weak (Fame Asser, Alabama Slam, Sweet Chin Music, Spear, etc.)

Oh I can't stand it. Spear and Alabama slam I'll give leeway too because Cody probably asked Holly, and the spear is just a general move in my eyes. But like Cena doing the fame asser from the top ropes, even ziggles doing it and not getting the pin-fall I go nuts.

Scott Hall has talked about how Bradshaw stopped doing a move when he came back to WWE out of respect. On the podcast he did with Austin he explained some of the protocol wrestlers follow when dealing with movements. I'd check it out if you're interested.

^where's the protocol Stan the man?

another question: Obviously the WWE WHC says you are the best in the WWE and the Diva's Title the best among the divas, Tag Team titles best tag team, but what does the other championships really represent? Well the other active ones are just the US and IC. what do they represent?

BUMP

Question:

Ziggler using the Fame Asser
Bryan using Kenta's running knee
CM Punk using Taker's Triangle Choke against Brock

basically my question is: is there a rule on who can use another wrestler's "siignature" move? Is there a fee?
Differences of the of the examples I posted were:

-an active WWE wrestler using a retired WWE wrestler's. finisher
-an active WWE wrestler using an Indy wrestler's finisher
-an active WWE wrestler using another WWE active wrestler's finisher

i always thought when someone in the WWE took an international wrestler's finisher it was done out of homage since that wrestler more than likely wasn't gonna get the spotlight that the american stage presents.

like when Jericho came back with the Codebreaker which he got from Naomichi Marufuji who is known for his innovation

Punk basically tried to incorporate all of KENTA's bigger moves into his arsenal.

I think Bryan and KENTA traded finishers (Bryan started using the knee and KENTA started using the Lebell Lock)

I can't remember but did appear Raven in the WWE after WCW was bought out?

Whatever happened to the Boogeyman?

[skbucks1985]

Raven actually debuted in WWE before WCW was bought out. And yeah he was initially part of Team WWE and then part of Team ECW

Saturn was a boss great worker and half of one of my favorite tag teams ever. Total Elimination is still my favorite tag finisher.
