Orginally this was going to be a rant about how much I hate CM Punk, and whether my hatred is stemmed from him being "wweized"((I'll go into more detail soon.)) or if I just don't like the guy.
Now all WWE fans have seen it. WWE superstars, no matter who they are, get WWEized. What is that you ask? Its WWE holding them back, barring them from pulling off certain moves. Just look at what this has done to the entire CW division.
A number of high flying moves are banned, making it harder for the CW"s to distance themselves.
CM Punk has been no exception. I'll admit he's good, but now that he's in WWE, he reeks of WWE. He's being held back, not using some of the moves he normally would use. And even when it does, it doe'snt seem to mean has much.
I'm kind of tired, and starting to lose track of my point. I believe my point is, why must WWE hold back their superstars? To prevent injuries? Alot of good thats done. To me its stupid to not let wrestlers use the moves they're comfortable with. Its an insult to the wrestlers, and a letdown to the fans.
Do you agree?

Yeah, it's true, I see more high flying moves in TNA and ECW than I see on RAW or Smackdown. I guess they are more into the entertaining than the wrestling side of things, which is just fine by me. Or I guess they just save some of those high flyers for the pay per views, and you have to admit, some of those do deliver. I guess that's why they hold back, so that superstars can unleash then, instead of risk of injury at a regular RAW or smackdown event. I guess that's why most injuries stem from a pay per view event.
However, I do believe that if we compare 2007 to 2006, last year was more superb when it came to wrestling moves and maneuvers. Even the ECW one night stand was so disappointing compared to last year's.

I see where you're coming from, and I agree to an extent. Though even at PPV's unless its a special match, like a ladder match, we don't get to see many aerial moves. And its not that the wrestlers don't want to use the moves, they do, but they're just not allowed to. I agree though we do get to see the ocassional high flying move at ppv's. And I se your point with WWE not wanting to risk injury at non ppv shows, but the extent they go to to avoid injury is just ludcrious in my opinion. Thanks to all the people who have responded so far.

Well it is smarter to restrict high flying moves on regular shows, who knows maybe the stars want that too, I'm sure not everyone enjoys being injured or hurt all the time.
The action in Pay per views this summer has been lower since wrestlemania, I guess it could be because so many stars are already out with injury that they don't wanna risk anymore, after all, if all the big guys are gone, I guess the fans won't be so much into it.
Thanks for the best response.

True, but if you watch WWE and listen to the behind the scenes news you can understand where I'm coming from. They severally limit the high flying moves, making the CW division pretty much obselete. Some cool moves are banned, and while I agree with some of them, others are just ludicrious. The main complaint I have is with limiting the high flying moves. I agree that WWE has the right to limit their moves, but I don't think they should excerise it quite has much as they do.
