That's not the problem. The problem is the WWE wants to portray an image that they're trying to minimize concussions, and a move that involves jumping on the back of a person's head and driving it face-first into the mat kind of makes that difficult.
SPOILER/BREAKING KAYFABE: Rollins doesn't actually drive his opponents' head into the mat forcefully.
ity2:Also, marks should know better than not to try doing moves at home, school or anywhere else.
EDIT: When Rollins finally turns face, he'll probably stop using Pedigree as his finisher, so hopefully he starts using that Superplex/Falcon Arrow combo. Rad stuff.
Huge mark for the piledriver. You drop a guy on his head, if anything says finishing move it's a piledriver.
Aye. I wish Owens would pull out a Package Piledriver on special occasions, but that's sadly never going to happen.

Gotta go with the curb stomp. I get the logic of banning it due to the name, but it is a sweet move. I have always thought the key to the best finishers is being able to do it to anyone. That's why sweet chin music and Bryan's running knee worked for them. Even a small guy can kick a giant in the face, while Taker couldn't tombstone everyone on the roster. I like the idea proposed of renaming it.
I miss the piledriver, but I understand them not allowing most wrestlers to do it. As a worked move, it's unnecessarily dangerous. However, rather than an outright ban on using it, I wish they would go with a "case by case" basis (they somewhat already do as both Undertaker and Kane can continue to do the move, but I think it should be widened: if a wrestler can execute a piledriver-like move safely and consistently, then let them; if not, then don't). I also, however, realize that even the safest, most consistent wrestlers can botch a move like the piledriver easily (Owen Hart).
As for the moves that look devastating, but don't require the physical power or expertise to execute safely, I'm with those that bring up the Curb Stomp. I don't care what you call it, but it's a very cool-looking impact move.
