Ask the Specialists Roundtable #46

- Question from PWTorch reader Emilio: What are some of the moves that have fallen out of common use in the WWE product that you would like to see make a resurgence? Thanks!

- "Mr. TV" Justin James (@Justin_M_James) responds: I know that it isn’t any one particular move, but I’d like to see more chain wrestling in WWE. It’s an easy way to put an extra 10 minutes into an episode of Raw that isn’t cheesy skits and promos or require help from the over-worked Creative team, while benefitting the matches.

Instead of bringing some moves back from the dead as it were, I would really like to see certain moves removed except for to finish or nearly finish matches, like the Superplex. This would re-elevate those moves quite a bit. Outside of that, the only move that I really dug that had disappeared for a while was the Camel Clutch, and Rusev brought that back.

- "Mr. PPV" Nathan Kyght responds: To be honest, none. The majority of moves that WWE disallows are due to the high probability of injuring your opponent, or something like the crossface which was taken off TV for obvious reasons that we won't dwell on here. There hasn't been much that I've consciously missed.

- "Common Fan" Jimmy Eaton (@TheCommonFan) responds: I was always a fan of the sitting piledriver, but the injury risk is certainly understanding as to why that hasn't made a comeback. Other than that, I'd go with the Russian Leg Sweep. I don't see that all too often (especially now with Damien Sandow in more of a comedy role) and I think the last to use it may have been C.M. Punk. A lot of moves have been brought back so I can't complain to much there. Thanks for the question!

- "Showstopper" Shawn Valentino responds: Thanks for your question. I would not only like to see some moves come back, but I would like some of the existing moves that wrestlers use to have more of an impact. I want the DDT to be more than a transition move. I would like to see Koko B. Ware's Ghostbuster to return. That was a really cool move.

The missile dropkick off the top rope has not been seen for awhile. The Full Nelson is always a classic, and it has been a long time since the Masterlock Challenge. I loved Randy Savage's flying clothesline when he jumped over the top rope. The Razor's Edge was one of the coolest moves I have ever seen. That is just a start. I believe
