Safety? Overdone? Looks stupid?

What are some moves that you feel need to be used less (or not at all)?

German/Belly to Belly suplexes

Neck injuries and so much can go wrong once the wrestler is released. I remember reading someone saying they won't take Germans anymore and if you look back through history neck injuries started becoming more prevalent along with German suplexes. Same logic for Belly to Belly.

Spinning backhand/elbows

Looking at you Jericho and Kingston These look horrible and always will. Jericho has a plethora of moves and Kingston using any old school japanese finisher would work with his character.

The dive over the ropes and onto 10 guys that fall apart like bowling pins. It's unbelievable but it's not horrible, just way overdone IMHO.

Thankfully Eddie seems to be using the northern lights bomb as more of a proper finisher lately.

I don't think it's much of a hot take to say tope suicidas tick pretty much all of your boxes, op - they're often unsafe, yawn-inducingly overdone, and a lot of wrestlers do them badly which looks real stupid.

More like Nope Suicida amirite

I like Dabry's Tope and that's it..only because of the way throws himself into it. I also feel like Darby is going to be eating through a straw by the time he's 40...
