I really do think its the bookers toning down the midcarders and allowing them to only to a certain set of moves. Even Benoit has been cut off at the kneest; if he's on Raw, he's only doing the same 2 or 3 moves. They may justify it by saying thats its for safety's sake or that the continual use of high spots wears out or spoils the crowds. There's some truth in both cases.

But what it comes down to is that wrestlers for the past couple years have been purposely told to hold back. And hopefully Shelton is a sign of things turning in the other direction.
