Another fall out from the Benoit tragedy is that Vince has banned wrestlers from using any form of choke or strangulation move. Vince feared that the media would use new footage of these holds against the company. Talent and producers now must go to Vince to get special dispensation for any move of that type before they can use them.
I'm guessing this rule will be in effect until the whole media situation cools down and it is bad news for some guys (especially Orton who lives on headlocks). I wonder if this will affect chokeslams and chokebombs as well? I guess we'll have to see how things play out.
