WWE No Chop Rule, Dumb Criminal Robs Tara, NXT Season 3? Goldberg Tweets, TNA In Malta
By Keelan Balderson | Jun 25, 2010 | Wrestling News | | Comments

- As well as the no choke rule that appeared to get Daniel Bryan released, according to the Wrestling Globe Newsletter there is also now a no chop rule in the WWE.

- Former TNA Knockout Tara recently had some custom wheels stolen off her car, although the dumb criminal came in to her own custom car shop and asked how to fit them!

- WWE is still planning a 3rd season of NXT despite the current season ending in late August, with Smackdown taking over in October.

- Goldberg posted the following on Twitter about other wrestlers using the spear:
“Gotta say all these yahoos using the Spear irks me Just shows how over it was and how less-than-creative they are.”

I could be wrong but I’m sure the spear was around before Goldberg under different names.

- Melita, the cable providers in Malta, have secured the rights for TNA Wrestling’s iMPACT! and monthly pay-per-views which will start airing from the first week of August. iMPACT! will be airing in both standard and high
definition on Saturdays at 7:15PM CET while the pay-per-views will be airing live at 3AM CET on Monday mornings with another repeat at 7:15PM CET.

Pay-per-views will be airing in standard definition only. Mr. Anderson taped a special promo for fans in Malta hyping up TNA’s arrival on Melita. Anderson was in the country last
October for a show with NWE. Melita also have the rights for World Wrestling Entertainment shows including the pay-per-views.

    DON’T FLATTER YOURSELF GOLDBERG,TERRY GORDY,BAM BAM BIGALOW,DR.DEATH ,SWEDE HANSON ,HARLEY RACE,BILLY ROBINSON.THESE GUYS USED THE SPEAR WHILE YOU WERE STILL IN PAMPERS.

  • Booker T

    And don’t forget about Hacksaw Jim Duggan.

    And on the subject of the chop; What the hell is Big Show gonna do now?

  • Peckstar

    LMFAO!! No chops?? WWE is NOT wrestling!

  • Peckstar

    What they going to do now? Just walk in the ring, have a hug, shake hands and walk out?

  • Dice

    Well there goes Flair chances of a return…
    I swear God made dumbass’ to give us a laugh, but atleast Tara got them back, and the idiot is in jail, where he can’t hurt himself.
    Goldberg needs to get over himself, hell the only thing he invented was that overhyped jackasses could succeed in a once great buisness (ie Cena, Orton and Mysterio).

    I’m not angry, I’m actually laughing at all of this.

  • woooh!

    what the hell’s wrong with wwe! No chop?? Seriously whats next? Open fist punch and kicks will be banned too? Haha

  • mike

    thats wat i was thinking…wat is big show gunna do know…and if the wwe keeps this up than tna dont have to worry about ratings bc wwe will just be a tv show not wrestling

  • http://www.twitter.com/jryan9307 John

    hmm. so, next up there will be no head-butting, choke slams, body slams, no stepping on people’s backs. Big Show will be out of a job soon enough.
    In all seriousness, this is a TV show, or as Linda McMahon said “a soap opera.” Most of the stuff they do is kayfabe so this isn’t making sense to me. Does this go along with the concussion clause they have (with head shots with chairs that they banned?)

  • http://www.twitter.com/jryan9307 John

    ^sorry, wasn’t thinking straight when I wrote that. I was thinking head chops (doesn’t Show sometimes do a karate-type chop to the top of the head?)
    anyways it makes no sense that they would ban chopping, other than the fact that Benoit did it…along with every other wrestler in the world.

  • Paul

    Wow… Seems like Vince is running the company into the ground as of lately…
    1> Released Danielson – biggest mistake possible… anyone who’s seen his ROH matches know how talented this man is, it’s no exaggeration.
    2> Ban of over-head chairshots to the head – This was understandable as it can cause massive harm to the wrestlers.
    3> Banning Chops – Seriously? This is considered one of the most basic moves performed by wrestlers and is one of the first things you learn and have done on you… Seems like Vince’s vindictive side is coming out directed towards Flair. Sounds like this douche bag is losing sight of what this business is all about.

    At the rate WWE is going wrestlers are going to get fed up with whats going on and begin to leave. I think it’s beginning to get to the point where the politics involved are going to drive wrestlers away as it has in the past… Originally this was only a problem on RAW but appears to be blanketing over the entire company to include Smackdown (Where WWE wrestlers go to avoid the politics).

  • Phsychadellica

    Bannning chops really? What is wwe’s problem? These stupid ass rules are what makes wwe as boring as it is. Obviously wwe does not give a shit about it’s fans that have watched it’s product since we were tiny kids, and I think it’s time that Vince mcmahon knew it. I say WWF fans should speak about what WWE is. Then maybe Vince and the creative team would realize that their show blows week after week. It’s sad, I have watched wwe my whole life, and to see what it has become is pathetic. I’m sorry but I have to go with tna simply because their show is entertaining and what a fan like myself wants to see. Wwe is boring and has been for a long time, I think that all the people who look at this site need to spread the word because wwe continues to get worse and I’m sick and tired of it

  • Piper Fan

    Hey Goldberg,you were a poor mans Stone Cold… right down to the black tights! You didn’t even invent stealing a schtick…

  • crybaby

    well, guys like l said its nickelodeon shows It’s sad, but let john boy and the rest of the crybaby over there run wwe. and join TNA and the king :)

  • Kenny Slater

    You have to remember that Vince isn’t in charge like he used to be. Ever since WWE went public, Vince has had to answer to a board of directors and the share holders. The number one goal used to be to build the best wrestling product in the world and grow their fanbase. As soon as they went public, that changed to make as much money as they can, as fast as they can. As far as Goldberg goes, I kinda agree with him. I not a huge Goldberg fan, but you have to admit no one has ever done a spear with the impact like Goldberg did. A spear from anyone else (especially Edge) looks weak in comparison. Of course, that’s not really Edge’s fault. Even if he wanted to do a harder spear, it wouldn’t be allowed due to fear of injury.

  • Edward

    NO chops and No choking. Knife Edge Chops, one of the most basic and most used moves in wrestling is banned. Y? as for the no choking, well, that bans alot of submissions, i.e. Hells Gate, and the Chokeslam, technically. also, the Spear is over used. whether as a finish or a set up. although, there’s alot of over used moves in wrestling, it’s just some ppl do a certain move better than others.

  • GhostRayne

    You guys are so dumb. Goldberg isn’t trying to say that he invented the move. It wasn’t a popular move at that point. though it was used … it wasnt in THAT many of the workers moveset. Much like the tombstone piledriver WAS around before taker even in the wwf. TNA workers have used it and JAPAN workers use it all the time. But 20 years from now if 1 in every 8 wwe workers is using a tombstone im gunna say they arent original at all either.

    • Keelan Balderson

      “You guys are so dumb” – well we’re gonna listen to your take now aren’t we.

      Perhaps Goldberg wasn’t original when he used the move?

  • Peckstar

    EC Fuckin W is going to invade TNA along with Abyss, this is SICK! Sick of watching those panzies in WWE that can’t even chop each other anymore? Do yourself a favour, pick up the remote, change the channel to TNA, cause TNA is going to get fuckin hardcore! I believe this heel stable (especially with Heyman at the helm) could rival the NWO era. This could be a tbig turning point for TNA and I for one am fuckin PUMPED!

  • justin25ky

    yeah baning chops is bull shit thats why i am hoping and praying paul heyman does take over creative control of tna i believe thats when wrestling will start to be damn good again

  • Bobnoxious

    No chop rule? ha ha ha… What’s the Great Kali going to do now that they took away one of his two moves?

    Surely this can’t be true.

  • mike

    ugghhhhhhhhh big used the chop during his match on smackdown with jack swagger r u sure this aint false info

    • Keelan Balderson

      Maybe he gets a pass, I don’t know. It might be “Ric Flair chops”

  • Booker T

    @Kenny Slater- I agree that Vince has a responsibility to his stockholders, but what did the stockholders think they were buying into? It’s Pro Wrestling. They make their money by bad guys being bad and good guys being good. It’s scripted violence. Then they wanna get mad because these guys are doing their jobs? If they don’t like it, they can take stock in real-estate or something.

  • Jawad

    The news that chops are banned is BS i’ve seen last week smackdown and big show was choping . So the information is not true

    • Keelan Balderson

      as i said i think it’s ric flair chops – benoit did those a lot.

  • Jarred bright

    to right jawad, getting rid of Survivor series, the ticket just went on sale.

  • http://www.twitter.com/jryan9307 John

    In response to Jawad- I believe the news of the ban came out AFTER last week’s Smackdown was taped.

  • Joe C

    Why they banned the chop:

    Whenever someone chops, the fans go “woooooooo!” and WWE doesn’t want to acknowledge Ric Flair. That’s all.

  • Hitman

    hey no one can say anything about Goldberg’s spear. Out of all the wrestlers who have used the spear, he is the only one who really made it look powerful. Actually rhyno was quite good.
    But as for wwe, im thinking they cant get any worse in terms of their new crappy policies. Now there is no chops. Great, who is looking forward to watching wwe now? I really hate this PG crap. Ive said it once and i will keep on sayin it. PG suks.

  • Jarred bright

    PG-13, TV-14 whats the difference? 1 year WTF!

  • Jawad

    We have to see next week shows to see if Chops are really banned.

  • Carl Keane

    I assume this decision is nothing to do with PG, it’s WWE being petty and trying to erase all wrestling history. But yeah on top of PG and the board it makes for a pretty terrible TV show let alone an awful wrestling promotion.

    Do you think (not rhetorical) that WWE are strict on PG at un-taped house shows?

  • Simon

    I don’t think this is going to affect Big Show. His are more like full hand slaps, not chops. Like others have said, I bet they’re either doing this due to Benoit doing it or more likely in my opinion, doing it so the fans don’t acknowledge Flair.

  • Kenny Slater

    I was at a WWE Raw house show in January(I will never go to another one) and it was still PG. Though they usually don’t talk much, they just have their matches and leave. Plus you have to listen to all the little kids scream the whole time. If you want a better experience, go see Ring of Honor live when they come to your area. They put on a great show everytime because all of their shows are recorded and later released on dvd. I go everytime they come to the Chicago area and it’s always great. Plus, they usually have a meet and greet with an autograph signing.

  • Adora Mane

    The banning of the chop, if true (which I doubt) probably has more to do with the crowd’s reaction WWOOOOOO! I half way respected WWE for awhile, when they acknowledged other promotions, or at least wrestlers backgrounds. Now, with this silly “WWE Universe” thing, it’s like WWE’s mentality is there is no professional wrestling (or sports entertainment) outside of WWE.

  • Jawad

    McMahon ego is gettin’ bigger and bigger and for him The Sport of Pro.Wrestling is nothing but a backyard sport which he made popular and famous. He thinks he is the God of pro.wrestling and fans are going to see and buy what he choose’s for them .

    So guys support ROH , i’ve been in couple of their shows and ther were great . ROH has some of the best wrestlers on earth and they have awesome pure wrestling

  • WCExhibit

    “Sounds like this douche bag is losing sight of what this business is all about.”

    Losing sight is something that happens in old age. He doesn’t care about wrestling anymore (don’t you remember in 2002(?) when he begat his “Kiss My Ass Club” crusaide?) and hasn’t. He just cares about his retirement plan since little Stephanie has become a mommy and Jr. Mac doesn’t seem to want to enherit the biz.

    It does seem like some shady behind the curtain BS is going on though. Why would you bar such rating grabbers unless it were tied to some hidden agenda? You simply wouldn’t drive a company downhill unless you were cashing in somehow. Sadly, STEALING or LYING your way into money is the current trend of the world and in “Big Business”, which is too often NONE of OUR business – but it was OUR MONEY.

  • Rick Shanchos

    Fuck the stockholders and fuck linda mcmahon fucking skanky old senile slut
