Has the WWE lost their minds?
 
WWE has placed a ban on talent wrestling with gloves on. Dolph Ziggler revealed this tidbit today on Twitter when was asked why he no longer wears gloves when he competes. He said, “DZBabe, I don’t wear gloves anymore! They have been banned from ringside! Hopefully we can atleast High-5!”

Alrighty,
I get not mentioning the competition on air...
I get banning chair shots to the head....
I get banning blood in the PG era....
I even get banning Flair style cross chops so the audience doesn't "WOOOOOO!"



But BY GAWD! ....... banning gloves: :shifty:

Oh even those wrist protectors? Ok I don't really think they are gloves but they are kinda important for a mat wrestler. Dumb yes, but nothing that big a deal as you got tape to use now.

Vastardikai 07-26-2010 05:54 PM

how long until they ban the taped fists?

WWE employees involved with the company’s marketing division were issued a directive a few weeks ago from Vince McMahon prohibiting them from using anything relating to the image of Shawn Michaels.

A marketing idea concerning Michaels had previously been approved by top WWE officials, reportedly including Vince McMahon, but was later nixed by the company chairman — with the ban set.

Meanwhile, those close to Michaels say he is mentally through with the professional wrestling industry and has it engrained in his mind that he will never return — in any form.

I would support this one. Wrestlers not wearing knee pads look naked.

As I've said in the past...Vince Mcmahon has been crazy since Hammer pants we're in style.He needs to retire already.If Trips is going to take over then go ahead and let him.Maybe he would smarten up and get rid of this PG13 goofiness once and for all.

Snowden 07-26-2010 07:08 PM

That just...I mean...safety first right? Because...you know...gloves can really...

Oh fuck it, this is ridiculous.

Why can't they ban something good? Like Diva's clothing or something.

They'll ban all wrestling moves next. Safety first innit.

Vastardikai 07-26-2010 07:15 PM

Worst thing about banning gloves is that, when used properly, a glove can be used to get someone over...

Xero 07-26-2010 07:15 PM

You know, going by that tweet and only that tweet it sounds like he's just fucking around with the fans. I'm guessing that's the case here.

Next you're going to tell me Goldust is retiring.

Xero 07-26-2010 07:18 PM

Both Rey and Gallows wore gloves on SmackDown!.

No, they'll ban taunts first. Those can be dangerous.

Don't worry, Raw comes on soon enough, we'll see if this is true, because doesn't Tarver wear gloves? He's almost a sure shot to be there tonight, so he could be a reference if he is.

At least ban the short tights. Can't people besides John Cena wear longer pants? Everybody in there is in freakin banana hammocks now-a-days.

Ban orange wrestler shirts.

Ban orange wrestlers. That takes away a large portion of our problem.

Though allow Orton in. It's ban orange wrestlerS. They're allowed to have one.

M-A-G 07-26-2010 09:25 PM

I have no words. I'm sure there's SOME sort of justification but it's probably along the lines of one of those weird explanations that comic book villains make that make sense to only them.

What about Sheamus since he has orange-ish hair.

Xero 07-26-2010 09:29 PM

Orange hair is fine. We are banning orange skin.

I think Hogan would be allowed to be an orange since he does live in Florida and their state tree is the orange tree.

You'd think after all those years of eating oranges, he skin might start to change color :shifty:

Tarver wore taped bands on Raw tonight and Cole conveniently neglected to mention the other famous person that hailed from San Antonio.

These reports might be true.

Majunior 07-27-2010 07:01 AM

Thee glove thing... you know, they're very unsafe. It's a grip issue. You can't get the proper grip on your opponent when you wear gloves. Safety is important when you're wrestling.

Except for, you know... pyro, a multitude of moves that drop people on their heads, stiff work, giant men climbing ladders, and gravity.

But they gloves, yeah. Ban those.

Tarver has been tapped up since NXT, and Cole not mentioning Shawn was more of a "let the audience draw their own conclusions" kind of thing. They did the exact same thing with the Austin hint a couple weeks back. I highly doubt either of these rumors being true at this point.

Also on the whole glove rumor, Goldust was wearing gloves last night.

thedamndest 07-27-2010 01:51 PM

The anonymous DX message could have been the Road Dogg for all Michael Cole knew.

R-Truth wears a glove. I think Michael Tarver might wear gloves. The Miz USED to wear gloves.
