Shooting Star Press

It's obviously not banned by WWE anymore as Evan Bourne has started using it as a finisher. It should be edited.

Morrison and London using it already establish that, as does JR's blog. All are mentioned in the article. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 00:39, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But it can't be banned any longer if it's being used.

Exactly. And since it was claimed to be banned, Morrison, London and Sydal have ALL used it. No more examples are needed. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 00:43, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"WWE has officially banned the move in sanctioned matches" It should be past tense then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JoeDawson71392 (talk • contribs) 00:44, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Swanton Popularized by Jeff Hardy"

I highly disagree with the statement that is was popularized by Jeff Hardy. Great Sasuke is a very famous wrestler in Japan and he could easily be said to have popularized it. I think saying that Jeff Hardy popularized the name Swanton would be fine but popularizing the move is absurd. Punch999 (talk) 19:14, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Shooting star press

[edit] Shooting star press A shooting star press is a technique invented by Jushin Liger.[18] In a standard shooting star press, the wrestler jumps forward from an elevated position and presses knees to chest, executes a backflip in mid-air, and lands on the opponent in the splash/press position. In kayfabe, the move is considered a more impactful version of a splash, since the wrestler utilizes rotational speed, as if he were a circular saw.[18]

As a result of injuries, promotions sometimes ban the use of the maneuver. By 2007, WWE was thought to have officially banned the move in sanctioned matches.[1] This has turned out not be the case as Paul London used a running variation untill his release in 2008, and John Morrison a standing variation on occasion. As of the WWE debut of Evan Bourne, WWE has allowed the move to be used again. WWE asked Bourne to perform it for them multiple times to prove whether or not it was a safety risk.*********After successfully using it each time, WWE allowed him to use the move as his finisher.******************[19]!!!

its not a reliable source, its from wrestlzone a rumor and spoiler site. We do not know why Evan gets to use the move.Washington95 (talk) 18:16, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

450 Senton

How can a 450 frontflip end in a senton? If a wrestler jumps off while being vertical and executes 450 frontflip it lands in a splash position. If a wrestler jumps off while being horizontal and executes 450 frontflip it land on his head. HI think it should be changed to 540 senton. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Azihade (talk • contribs) 17:33, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does every modifier need a header

I don't think every modifier needs a header. For example, look at "diving elbow drop" or "diving leg drop". Just adding a modifier/transition such as a corkscrew, somersault, shooting star press, or springboard, doesn't make it so different that it needs a separate header in my opinion. For example, for "shooting star elbow drop" wouldn't a link from the wrestler's article to the transition move and then to the elbow drop suffice? Isn't that what the transition moves are for?

A bit of late reply, but I agree entirely. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 23:05, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Corkscrew Senton

Why is there no corkscrew senton article in the main page... Here is the article that I came up with and the reference.

This senton is performed by executing a backflip from the top turnbuckle, then spinning 180°, landing on a fallen opponent back-first. However, this move often ends with a legdrop instead of a senton, due to the difficulty of execution.

The corkscrew senton can also see the wrestler hit the move on a standing opponent. This is often referred to as a Halo, a name closely associated with Shannon Moore. This move was also called Whisper in the Wind by Jeff Hardy, though Jeff Hardy performs this when he is Irish whipped towards the turnbuckle by an opponent and proceeds to run up the turnbuckle while facing it.

Corkscrew senton can also refer to a move in which a wrestler, who is on the top rope facing away from the ring, jumps backwards and turns 180° in midair before performing a senton bomb

True but I tried to put it into the main article and it would always be deleted.Crossfire96 (talk) 19:52, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Double knee drop bulldog

Shouldn't we add the double knee drop to the opponents shoulders that evan bourne uses as his signature move into the main article.CROSSFIRE96 19:43, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Lucha-style Transition Move?

I'm sorry, I don't quite know what this one is called, so I also don't know if it's ever been added. I'll try describing it. It's the move where the attacking wrestler leaps at the opponent, wrapping his legs around the opponent's waist(attacker in "wheelbarrow" position), bounces off the mat with his hands, and usually ending in a bulldog. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.156.14.110 (talk) 02:22, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Justin Gabriel's 450 Splash?

Article states that the 450 splash is banned in the WWE. Was Justin Gabriel given the same exception Evan Bourne has for the Shooting Star Press?--68.140.77.105 (talk) 18:03, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
