The brogue kick ban

[Crayo]

I haven't watched SmackDown properly yet as I had a headache last night, but is it true the brogue kick is banned? If so, can someone summarise the segment?

I know they're building up his other move as another match-ending-move but I do have some optimism that at NoC we will see Sheamus' reign end. This is just another excuse to give him once he loses to "protect him".

Brouge Kick Ban?

Why did they have to ban it? It was one of the best finishers in my opinion, what do you guys think of it?

 

[Laurinaitis]

Ok so what happened is Sheamus and Otunga was fighting. Then booker T come out and annouced that the brouge kick was banned.

 

[Crayo]

I'm loving this tweener style Booker T GM stuff.

 

[Sackfist]

Yes, throughout the nigh Otunga was telling Booker to ban it. He finally threatened to sue. Booker put Otunga in a match with Great White. When Shemaus was about to go for the move, Booker came out and said it was banned. Sheamus then went for the Texas Cloverleaf for the win

 

[Crayo]

Sounds like another match from Sheamus I definitely won't watch.

 

[Snowman1]

Any news on whether the ban is kayfabe or not? If it is, it's dumb, but understandable. But I can totally see it being legitimately banned like they did the Punt Kick.

 

[Crayo]

Kayfabe. Orton's one wasn't referenced on air iirc. The ones that are referenced on air tend to have segments a month later like "Oh, and btw, the brogue kick is now unbanned *GASP***!*!*!*!*!*!*".

l0l. Otunga threatening on to sue? For Sheamus kicking Retardo on the head?
What about... Del Rio assaulting Sheamus w/ a vehicle?
Retardo trying to help Del Rio to cheat w/ the shoe, but well. Backfired?
What comes around goes around RR.
& Sheamus begging to get a match @ Summerslam, WHILE HE WAS STILL INJURED, BYY DEL RIO.
Just for entertainment. Well--wasn't really injured, but wut evs.
Anyways, yeah. Nice move Book. Fucking up his match @ NoC.

Yeah hopefully it means Sheamus finally drops the title so we can bury him and get rid of him.

The Brogue kick is a dangerous move to do as well since it can cause concussions which WWE takes pretty seriously. Especially in the hands of such a sloppy and lazy wrestler as Sheamus.

ADR > Sheamus anyway but they absolutely fucked up any underdog story they were planning by immediately giving Shemoose a new finisher.

This is a storyline routinely recycled on SD. The 'move ban' angle is how DZ won his one and only WHC, remember?

I thought I forgot this, thanks a lot.

 

[Leo C]

Obviously kayfabe btw. Maybe an excuse for Sheamus to lose the title, but the Cloverleaf already leaves him with a back up finisher. It's recycled but if it takes the WHC away from Sheamus I'm OK with it.

 

[Farooq]

Ehh good the finisher was annoying anyways and to predictable. It is kinda ruined since now he has another finisher, but at least it's something added to the feud I guess.

 

[Lacky]

I'm sure Sheamus will lose the title, and still be hogging the ME scene for the next 3-5 months.
