10 Things You Didn't Know Were Banned In Triple H's WWE
7. The Traditional Piledriver
The WWE "style" is slowly promising to go away.
Slowly.
Sheamus and GUNTHER are beating the piss out of one another in valiant, unremitting wars; in that programme, at least, Daniel Bryan is winning the argument he had with the Miz on Talking Smack all those years ago. Chad Gable is operating at a technically advanced level unlike few others in the game, and would be getting rave-reviews from the snobs if he worked in front of a different backdrop. And even when WWE is still laying out matches in its customary way, they're more effective than they have been.
Something like Sami Zayn Vs. Kofi Kingston from SmackDown last week wasn't breathless in its action, but the drama was still pulsating by the finish because people care more about the characters. That's the core of what wrestling is, and it was far from the first time that Triple H's WWE has rediscovered what people once loved about the promotion.
It's WWE, though. It's not radically different, most storyline conflicts could be resolved if the characters simply watched the TV show, and it isn't - by express design - the destination for pro wrestling in its most unadulterated and expressive form.
There are rules, and one of them is that talents can't perform the traditional piledriver, and if it's not coming back under Triple H, it likely never will.
