      But they used to drive opponents backs and knees into it as well.

        But an enziguri or any of the other multiple varieties of kicks to the head are ok? I'm not saying it couldn't be the reason, it just wouldn't make much sense considering all of the other stuff the do in the head area. Nobody is going face first in to the metal without protecting themselves

          I was just playing. They took it out the same reason they took out 90% of tag team psychology (ref not seeing babyface tags, etc), Vince probably thought it was played out.

            Lots of stuff they think is played out, while lots of other things that are actually played out get overdone.

            Overdone are the DQ/Countout finishes where the heel loses the match but retains their title. Then the announcer is like "here is your winner by disqualification (the challenger)" and then their music starts playing. Then suddenly the music stops and announcer is like "However, still the ___ champion" before the champs music hits. We all know that a DQ/Countout finish means champ retains their title. So why go through that pointless stuff of playing the winners music for 20 or so seconds just to be like "o ya, the champ retains".


            One of the many things that they don't do anymore are those handshakes. Where two superstars are in the ring during a segment and one person offers to shake the hand of the other, and then while they have their hand out, the good guy starts looking around the arena to gauge the audience on if they should shake the hand or not.

              Now I see where Edge got his bitchassness from when he started messing with Vickie in the mid-late 00s.

                No need to bring Vickie into this.

                      SN: I love how most of us here are starting around the same timeframe and pretty much on the same page. Makes it too enjoyable to talk about Wrestling from back then, especially when hearing about the side stories.
                      I started at the very beginning with RAW and then wound up getting sidetracked by a number of things that I won't get into here. I just started back and am at SummerSlam 93. A few things:

                      -RAW being an hour long was awesome. Easy to consume the product, even if it wasn't great.

                      -Watching the shows helps add context to the PPV's, which I appreciate.

                      -Interesting how the early shows rarely featured Undertaker and Bret Hart. RAW didn't have the flagship show feel quite yet in mid-1993.

                      Not sure when I'll get to the Attitude Era, but I am looking forward to it.

                        Exactly....it's just not the same when you don't have Sandman coming out to Enter Sandman...legit drinking a few beers (not Stone Cold spraying them everywhere), smoking a cigarette, and the crowd singing along with the entrance.

                            Benoit leaving WCW after winning the title the night before was a boss move.

                              I still can't believe they were stupid enough to let him do it. How do you actually agree to give four of the best talents you have on your roster their unconditional release? Insanity.
