Another fall out from the Benoit tragedy is that Vince has banned wrestlers from using any form of choke or strangulation move. Vince feared that the media would use new footage of these holds against the company. Talent and producers now must go to Vince to get special dispensation for any move of that type before they can use them.

That is stupid, I've seen at least one chokehold on every show since it happened and no one said a thing. Now four weeks later he decides to ban choke manuvers?

While ridiclous, probably necessary move nonetheless, knowing how the media is these days.

Does this even include things like sleeper holds? If it doesn't, I can see why WWE would put a temporary "ban" on moves like Chokeslams and whatnot.

They Cant Possibly ban Chokeslams, it really isnt even choking the opponent, just picks him up by the throat and slams him, unless once they were slamed they would be choked

Chokes aren't even used that much in WWE. I don't think Kane will be hurt if he has to use the powerbomb again for a while. This is a good move. He's trying to make sure that they don't get any more crap from the media.

Good thing CM Punk has the GTS, and not his other move from when he frist started wrestling on ECW.

I don't think I will hurt Kane to much, this could help and hurt some superstars, like I think it will hurt The Ungreat Khali with his double handed chokeslam, and the same goes for the Boogeyman, with his double handed falling chokeslam.

I really feel the only move they should ban now is the crossface move that benoit did. After awhile maybe they can bring it back but right now they should ban it as that move was a signature move of benoit's. Banning the choke slam is silly.
