Austin/Owen was 1997, and IIRC, the piledriver was banned for everyone except a specific few, in either 2000 or 2001. Kane was using the chokeslam as his finisher most of the time, and Undertaker was using the Last Ride more often than not.

I'm pretty sure Justin Credible had to change his finisher, although I can't remember what it became for the life of me, and I'm fairly certain Rhyno didn't do his piledriver at all during his WWE tenure.

It's been surreal to see, through the lens of this thread, how many people who claim to be wrestling fans aren't actually fans of wrestling and don't know anything at all about the business.

The description of that one guy's podcast where he says wrestling is basically like teaching a child call and response just blew my mind.

https://reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/qga8uo/shouldnt_there_be_more_concern_over_charlottes/

quote:

I once had a patron at a bar who went to the same high school as Charlotte and really painted a picture of her as this girl named Ashley who was kind of dramatic and to her was annoying but, who she didn't really like for years but who she ultimately ended feeling really bad for by the time they were all seniors because her family were the town crazy people, who couldn't go a week without making some kind of scene or pissing off the neighborhood or dragging her into some big dramatic scene in public.

Look at this woman's life. She's RIC FLAIR's daughter. Do we really need to go into why that would be a dramatic and not very healthy childhood? And that's just where it starts.

Then, in her own words her bother dies at like 20 years old, so she chooses HIS career, and HIS dream as her lifelong career to help herself and her dad through that.

It's only a few years ago that she was at Ric's hospital bed being told that he will likely die this week.

She's had a false pregnancy within the last year which is crazy enough for someone to hear and deal with and then have undone, but then it also made her miss the biggest show of the year for the second straight year.

Starts dating a dude in a serious way for the first time [edit- since her second divorce, that is, as l reminded in the comments] and falls for him really hard and gets engaged. Now, l don't know dick about poo poo as far as these two's relationship but, there was a time where this subreddit was basically just "Here's every wrestlers tweets today" and Charlotte/Andrade's photos with each other were constantly on the front page.

Even back at that time, looking at her as this girl named Ashley who's real life I had been told all about, when l saw those pictures l felt the same pings of concern l'd have it was my own friend who'd been through those traumas looking at a person the way she was looking at him, because it screamed "I only care about wrapping myself up in you" which makes total sense for the instincts of someone who's been through the lifetime of abandonment issues and a tragic death.

Now, throw in a worldwide apocalypse, and drop the bomb that the guy she's in love with and engaged to, quits their job together and her day-to-day life to follow his passions outside of a job that he doesn't think treats them right. RIGHT AFTER THAT now her father quits the job they both have because he doesn't think he and her are being treated right.

Then you've got all of the stories of her being "hard to deal with" backstage over creative issues that when you hear them are like "Yeah... she has every right as a supposed main event star to not want to trade her WORLD TITLE with someone like it's a friendship bracelet and be really pissed off about being forced to do it" and then it doesn't shock me that the two angry people put into a cage together by someone who knows they both don't want to be in the cage together, then end up taking out their anger on each other. I wasn't there but all I'm doing is repeating the same story that's being spoken about WITHOUT the context that if Becky and Charlotte apparently both absolutely hated the idea of the segment, why are they being forced to do something the don't want to do and being expected not to lash out over it?

Or last Monday when the reports that she was apparently really hard to work with and was being a dick to everybody.... because she WANTED TO LOSE to Bianca and help make her. Not because she was selfish and wanted the dq loss to keep her strong, but because she was angry she wasn't being allowed to use her own star power to help make someone she thinks deserves it. Yeah, if you're the agents and the writers and Vince and whoever, that's hard to work with and huge headache. But the people's she's giving a headache are not the good guys in the story I'm reading.

I feel like she's got a ton, a literal TON of red flags as someone who's going through incredible difficulties and traumas and has all the reasons around her to become distant and feel alone and is starting to become an angry person because of it in her day to day life, while people just go "man what a dick, right? gently caress her lol"

Like, if your mentality is "If her mental health is hosed that's on her" then you just either have never dealt mental health issues or dealt with your own in such a way that also made you selfish and angry. When you're as deep in the hole as it very much looks like she might be becoming based only on the confirmed public information we have, there's absolutely no guarantee at all that she has any idea that she's falling off a cliff because when you're in it day to day you just deal with the things that you feel are hurting you and can very easily accept the truth that there's nothing you can do but lash out and hold on to the idea that you'll be okay if you just burn down everything around you and start over with whichever one thing you can latch onto as the only beacon of happiness in your life and its on the people around this person, who give a poo poo about this person, to try to help them see what's happening to their insides, and help them fix whatever is poisoning them.

If you're not her friend, if you don't care about her, that's fine, it's not your problem. But if you're actively revelling in her behavior, villifying, and laughing at the poo poo show she's becoming, and fan the flames in hopes that she just keeps getting crazier. drat dude... you're just a bad person.

TLDR- just her whole life up until right now. It's like the perfect recipe for someone to become isolated and angry at the world around them. And ultimately what has this woman, the real life woman not the fake character on TV, done to deserve people coming at this from a perspective of condemnation and not empathy?

ROCK HARD
I saw Charlotte Flair at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything. She said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but she kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in her hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Ma'am, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

BAEST MODE!!!
Lemme tell you a true story.

Back in early 2014, I was impersonating Wes Sims for a few months as part of a bet. So me and The Queen, we're going to Ikea, cause she needs to buy a chair, right? Nothing fancy, just a simple office chair with good lumbar support, cause she'd hurt his back in a ladder match. So we're in Ikea, looking through all the Bjorns and Karls and Fingords and whatever the gently caress else they call the loving furniture, and Charlotte's hopping in and out of the little display models, stretching and going "UUUURGH" and all "I don't like this one, these arms are gonna piss me off if I buy this and stuff".

Eventually we settle on one, I forget which, and we go looking for a member of staff. We find one, pimply little motherfucker, and he's all "Uh I'll need to go get a forklift driver cause it's kinda heavy" and, well, Charlotte is obviously a strong dude and we don't wanna wait cause we gotta go get our Swedish Meatball on, so we go with this dude to the warehouse, and we're gonna carry the chair ourselves, y'know? And that's when it goes bad. Somewhere on the other side of the warehouse, some numbnuts drops a ladder, BANG, just like that.

And Charlotte lets instinct take over.

First victim is the pimply kid, cause I'd gotten used to Charlotte by this point and got a pallet jack between me and her as soon as I heard the bang. The kid, obviously not too wise on his TLC 2019, takes it like a sandbag, straight down, his head hitting the concrete floor like a canteloupe. Pretty grody.

Charlotte realises what he's done, and obviously she's pretty stressed, and for some hosed up reason there's, like, sixty display chairs and tables set up in the warehouse, must be about to be taken out to the shop floor for a display, except she doesn't see that, she just sees a forest of legs, all of them in pairs. It was like watching a bull slew through a bunch of jobbers, I tell you. He's just BAM, double leg, BAM, double leg, BAM, double leg, shouting and bellowing the whole way. She gasses after his first five or six, but keeps BAM double legging them, for a whole twenty minutes. Last thing I remember of that godawful carnage, as I booked it out of a back door and the cops arrive, is a mental image, startling in its clarity still, of Charlotte Flair doing the whizzer on a BERTIL, her face as unrecognizable as Hell's own glow.

It took a few cops to bring her in, of course. Eventually one of them made sergeant by screaming "THIS IS A BELT EXCHANGE!" in her face and cuffing her while she was confused. The trial was called off when the jury all got mysteriously injured a few days before, and the judge didn't post his arm correctly and dislocated his elbow. The only reporter foolhardy enough to try and cover the story got as far as "Noted sports entertainer Charlotte Flair" before getting concussed by a ladder right at his own desk. As for me? Well, I won my bet. Easiest sixteen bucks I ever made.

Also Cody is famously the son of Dusty Rhodes, while Fuego 2 is the son of Fuego. For these wild theories to be true, Fuego would have to be Dusty. And that's impossible because Dustin is Fuego's dad.
