WWE Bans the Curb Stomp

[C.M. Shaddix]

So it's not banned? Well WWE is drawing a lot of attention by removing it from the Wrestlemania replay, if they just plain ass left it but didn't have the commentators scream "CURB STOMP!" Maybe it'd not draw that much attention.

Regarding rumors of WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins having his Curb Stomp finisher banned by the company, the move has not been banned but Rollins will be using the new DDT-facebuster type move he used on RAW to defeat Dolph Ziggler as his finisher.

Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter described Rollins using a new move as a "semantic situation" and said WWE does not want to draw attention to the Curb Stomp no longer being used, but it is not banned.

This kind of belongs in the Funny Wrestling Pictures thread, but aight. :

- WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins no longer using the Curb Stomp as his main finisher may have something to do with advice from WWE legal, perhaps due to fallout from concussion lawsuits.

Superstars get concussions all the time. What matters is has this happened from a curb stomp? And if it has, how often does it happen?

bullllllllllllllllllllllllllll shit

If you made a list of the 25 moves most likely to cause a concussion in the WWE the curb stomp wouldn't even make honorable mention. It is not a dangerous move lol. Spoiler/breaking kayfabe: Seth isn't actually driving the other guy's face into the mat forcefully : ity2:

it is clearly an image thing. They should just call it something else so kids aren't googling curb stomp. It really isn't a curb stomp anyway since that involves biting a curb and getting your jaw unhinged

Turns out another reason was because Vince didn't like the move, nice move Vince.


The sarcasm is real.

It's cuz of the name, there's no other reason.. Call it a 'Mat Stomp' and you'd be perfectly fine as far as legal issues go..

Kids google that shit thinking it's only a Seth Rollins thing and stumble upon pictures and videos that are well just simply not Seth Rollins related.

I cannot believe that they have the nerve to say that the setup is bad and people can just move... Omg... In the world of WWE.... Realistically, anyone can move out of the way. The stone cold stunner is a perfect example. He kicks to the gut and then nails the stunner. ... Just side step before he grabs your head...

Rollins hits to the gut really hard and runs off the ropes and then plants you... I thought it was fine. Wth is wrong with it???

I'd be fine with Curb Stomp being renamed back to Blackout or Peace of Mind, tbh. Anything to keep the move. I'm not a fan of his new finisher at all.

But I do hope they'll bring the Curb Stomp back once Rollins turns face, though...

EDIT: Rollins using that turnbuckle Powerbomb followed by a superkick would still be a better finisher than the one he's currently using.
