Head-drops is not the same as head-strikes. And no, that's fucking ridiculous. One botched tombstone piledriver pretty much kills a guy, it's stupid to have a guy survive that many. How about focus on counters and actual mat-wrestling (or even top rope stuff) instead of risking paralysis by allowing some exhausted midget attempt to pretend drop you on your head and neck continuously while you no-sell it until it's no longer an option.
High risk used to mean something. Impact moves used to matter. Now brain-busters are about as common as restholds...fuck, THEY ARE RESTHOLDS.
