CUE THE BACKLASH!!!! |
No backlash rom me. He's still damn good in my opinion, but since everyone not named Shane McMahon or Paul LeVesque is being restricted in what they can do, he's less good than he was in ECW.
I'm not sure it's safety: I'm not convinced that they've done much to improve the safety of wrestlers, even after the tragic death of Owen Hart. I think they've paid lip service to the concept of safety, but when the boss' son can still badly injure someone as a house show, it's a sign that they really aren't thinking this whole "safety" thing through.
However, the fact that he injured a lot of people early on would be a great card to play in an attempt to devalue the ECW style of wrestling. Since Vince seems to hate anything he didn't create, this sounds like somewhere he might go, too.
He can still obviously do a lot...He pulled a great match out of a badly hurt Orton just about 2 weeks ago. It's just harder to appeal to people when you're neutered.
