4. Thou Shalt Bring Back Head-Attacking Offense As A Serious Plot Device
It's a real shame that Kevin Owens isn't dropping people on their head in WWE with the Package Piledriver, and that a significant part of his character is that during matches, he gets the ref's back turned and hits them with a maneuver so vicious that it's the first time that Triple H specifically bans a hold because it "literally concusses people." If WWE wants to get over the seriousness of a heel as being a very very bad person, the easiest way to do this is to have Kevin Owens drop Cesaro with the Package Piledriver, and have him feel ZERO remorse for "putting him in the hospital and giving him a broken neck like his tag team partner." WWE desperately needs devices to get heels over. Reintroducing severe head-drops as a plot-device must be a part of the future of where pro wrestling's headed.
