>Around the time Rollins clinched his title, reports came in that the WWE Champ was no longer allowed to use his Curb Stomp, a finisher he’d been relying on for years. At the time, the community was up in arms about the ban; after all, it’s hardly the most violent move in in the WWE repertoire, and no one had raised a fuss prior to the ban.
>Rollins filled in the gaps during a recent podcast interview with Talk is Jericho. He explained why the move was banned in the first place: “It was right after I won the WWE Title and Wrestlemania, and I just think that it was the first time Vince thought about it, because they were sending footage to The Today Show, because I was there. Aside from it having a fairly violent name, the visual of it, he was watching it, and he just thought it could be easily imitated by young children."
>As much as I hate to admit it, Vince may have had a point. Curb stomping can be deadly, and unlike many of the moves that professional wrestlers use in the ring, it’s not very difficult to replicate. Given that children make up a substantial portion of WWE’s audience, they do have to be mindful of how kids may hurt themselves trying to imitate their favorite stars.
Everyone already knew that you little queer.
It still shouldn't be banned. If kids are retarded enough to do it irl it's just natural selection.
It was a great finisher because it could be applied to both bigger and smaller opponents.
>>1367619
This.
Letting the gov or the tv raise your kids its extremely shitting parenting and is the reason we have so many fucking socialists
>>1367619
Right? Remember when we told people not to imitate shit they see in tv shows and if they did it was their own damn fault and it didn't result in a lengthy court battle because the judge would just tell them to fuck off?
Better days.
>>1367609
>muh children
>>1367619
>I've never been a child who's done stupid things because I'm a child
>Children who do stupid things deserve to die because it's NATURAL SELECTION
>>1367625
Besides by that logic a lot of moves should be banned.
DDT is fairly easy to recreate and can be really dangerous. Same with any variation of a kick. A german suplex. Etc
>>1367628
I've done stupid shit as a kid but if some friend of mine tried to convince me that doing the curbstomp on anything would be a good idea I'd call him a retard.
>>1367619
>It was a great finisher
It was retarded.
The setup was shit so its good it was banned.
>Implying you wouldnt be fucking dead if you applied to natural selection.
Kek.
>>1367628
That's pretty much how it works.
>>1367628
Eh. I did a lot of dumb shit as a kid being a fan of wwe and jackass. I knew what was pushing it though, even as a 13 year old.
>>1367619
It was great, but as Rollins said you can do it so easily and it's so deadly that it's smarter to stop doing it. Like I often imitated wrestlers when I was a kid, I've broken a few bones but kids are all stupid, I would've died as a kid trying to take a curbstomp onto concrete.
>>1367629
I mean, fuck if we're going off that logic there's a whole fucking meme culture for imitating the RKO. Why isn't that banned?
>>1367628
>All children are knuckledragging retards.
I was a child once, but I never once did anything I saw in a WWE show. It's not that hard, in fact a lot of kids don't. Contrary to popular belief not all kids are dumb ass spastics destined to try to off themselves every 4 seconds.
>>1367635
>I have no clue what natural selection is and I think you can weed out bad genes by allowing immature children to kill themselves
I realized /asp/ is full of morons but I didn't expect this
>>1367647
>I think you can weed out bad genes by allowing immature children to kill themselves
That's kind of how it works. If a kid is stupid enough to do a curbstomp on someone else then he'd pass on some stupid genes with further generations.
>>1367609
WWE shouldn't be blamed if any kid imitates the move but unfortunately that's how the world works. Parents are always looking to blame somebody else for them raising a retarded kid.
>>1367664
How can you be fucking curbstomped when you're not looking?
>>1367664
How in the world does your friend curbstomp you without you looking? You literally have to be on your knees for him to do it on the ground and if your friend gets on an elevated plane and curbstomps you without you noticing well then you picked a shit friend m8.
>>1367658
>stupid genes
Sounds like your DNA is composed entirely of them if you think there's such a thing as "stupid genes"
Do you realize how much influence your environment and parents have on your decision making
>>1367628
Even a child knows that letting somebody smash your skull off the ground is a bad idea. I knew not to try wrestling moves when I was one. So did all of my friends.
>>1367664
Your unattentive attributes will not be passed down to other generations. That's how.
>>1367658
If stupid people get weeded out by natural selection how are you still alive?
>>1367671
>Parents have on your decision making.
Exactly. Proper parenting prevents this from happening. You ever notice the ilk of people that sue the WWE and shit like that for when their idiot kids start swanton bombing off the roof or putting each other in Kimura Locks?
They're always the type that don't bother telling their kids shit and let the TV do the raising for their kids while they always look for the next money train they can jump on.
Fuck people like that. It's not the WWE's fault for them, and they shouldn't have to dummy down their content because parents aren't out here doing the thinnest amount of effort necessary to be called a parent.
>>1367671
Yours too since you couldn't realize that I wasn't writing about "literal stupid genes" you dumb fuck
If your parents do a bad job of telling you what's dangerous and retarded and what's not, that's on them. Not on a scripted TV show they watch on Mondays.
Watching /asp/bergers debate science is adorable.

Do you see the writing on the wall?
The setup was contrived as fuck. It's not a good finisher.

You're gonna drown in the things that you said.

Sethfags not even once.

Natural selection.
The weak shall fear the strong.
>>1367729
>Tying your shoes in school leads to somebody stomping on your head.
I don't think the WWE is the problem there, but rather the fact that you went to school with Ted Bundy Jr.
>>1367726
How the fuck is it? The recipient literally has to be getting up, that's it. It's one of the most believable setups there is.
>>1367735
It was a unique finisher that Seff made popular.
Now he's using that shitty Pedigree that doesn't look good when Haitch is not doing it, and the transitional finisher he had was awful
>>1367735
Kek
>>1367743
The pedigree is much safer for children to preform. That's all that really matters.
>>1367741
>recipient gets up
>is still bent over waiting for it
>>1367743
Unique and shitty.
Agree that pedigree is lame but so was curbstomp.
>>1367751
>putting your opponents head between your thighs
>and slamming their face on something hard
>not dangerous
:^)
I was dumb as fuck as a kid. I really shouldn't be alive with the amount of idiotic things I did.
>>1367751
I pedigreed my sister and her nose entered her brain, killing her instantly.
>>1367753
Not a necessary part and didn't happen every time.
>>1367759
If it was dangerous, Vince wouldn't allow Sethe to use it. did you not read the article?
>murican kids are curbstomping each other
I can actually respect that. Survival of the fittest.
>>1367786
>ywn curbstomp a fat american kid wearing a Cena shirt
Why live?
>>1367738
even the strong need to tie their shoe laces
>>1367765
I pedigreed my friend and he was fine. Git gud.
>that one Raw when the fucking Bellas took the Pedigree better than 90% of the male roster
>>1367765
>botching the pedigree this badly
>>1367828
That's because you're a fucking pussy
>>1367712
I haven't seen wwe use those warnings recently, did they drop them or am I just somehow missing them?
They advertise that they shouldn't try it anywhere, if they do it's their fault.
/thread
Curb stomp was so based
>we'll never get to enjoy this again
>>1367609
Sure, Vince. Let him use Triple H's finisher instead, way safe and not "deadly" at all.
Gotta love this old PG Vince. Actually the same as young PG Vince, he just had excuse to be "barbaric", like he calls it to UFC, because monday night wars.
>>1367609
90% of wrestling moves are dangerous if done wrong. The fucking ddt is easy to do, and done in almost every match. Yet it hasn't been banned.
Pretty stupid reason.
Vince can't control the parenting of each child, or how each child acts on their own.
>>1368529
Don't shout it out loud or Dirty Deeds will be banned..
He should do it occasionally like a couple times a year when he really needs a W
>>1368108
Do children just hit wrestling finishers out of nowhere? Like in a library or e something? "I think imma curbstomp this bitch eying up my goosebumps book"
POW!!!1
Dead.
>>1367609
1) Curb Stomp wasn't a great finisher, and 2)Vince is 100% right it's too easy for children to do on each other.
The problem is they haven't replaced it with anything yet, Seth's Pedigree is terrible and even less convincing than the Curb Stomp.
If Seth was face (like he should be) Sethwalker would be the better choice for finishers.
>>1369626
seth chin music is coming.
>>1367949
Reverse psychology. The damn warnings were making retarded kids do those things.
>i used sweet chin music on some kid while we were imitating wrestling moves and actually kicked him in the face
>rock bottomed the same kid on a concrete floor shortly after
>attempted a powerbomb after that but couldnt lift him as i was a 9 year old
top kek what a load of shit

>>1369579
>Do children just hit wrestling finishers out of nowhere?
yes, yes they do. are you an only child?
>>1367609
I remember the first time I saw him do it, shit didn't look good enough for a finisher and it still doesn't
>>1369777
>randomly hitting/touching others at any age
You were clearly one with bad parenting
>>1369777
You're an idiot.
>>1369789

bullshit, name 1 show that portrayed a new stunt that someone didn't try to sue at one point or another.
>>1369789
>you have to be careful of other kids (not raised by your parents) doing stupid shit
>you must have bad parents
Idiot
>>1369880
I have seen a person get ddt'd in real like. And it looked easy as fuck. Was at school during gym class. The kid that took it was literally knocked out cold. All you do is grab a front head lock and fall back. The other guy will more then likely drop as well or possibly get their neck fucking broken.
>>1367609
I get the reasoning for the ban, but can we at least give him a better finisher than the Pedigree? It doesn't fit him like it does Trips. I feel like if we just made his Phoenix Splash a finisher...
>>1367714
>implying you were a jock bully in high school and not the weird kid who wore wrestling shirts that not even the nerds respected
>>1367619
shut up kid
>>1367609
Its banned because some SJW watched American history X and got offended over "racism" of saying curb stomp. True story
>>1370880
Sauce
>>1367609
>this is a work to make you believe that vince actually has a conscience
>>1370044
If other kids do stupid shit to you and you can't stop them than you weak little ass is poison to the gene pool.
Same with bullying. It happens only to people who deserve it.
I can see why they banned it, because it's not just about how dangerous it is for the kiddies, but how particularly violent it looks on an otherwise sanitized product.
I mean, I liked it for this reason, but held up to the cavalcade of fireman's carries, DDTs, spears and otherwise, stomping your opponent's skull into the canvas looked noteworthy in its raw brutality. That is something they obviously deemed had to go. Unfortunately and unsurprisingly.
>>1370888
His dorito infested ass is the source
>>1367619
>Ironically he does the pedigree now that is easy as fuck to do as well.
I actually had dumbass friends when I was a kid who tried to pedigree his bro in the snow (figured it wouldn't hurt) but slipped and his brother faceplanted into ice.
We turned out having to drag his concussed ass into the house and he was basically a vegetable for about an hour.
