Why Doesn't Anyone Use Arm Drags In WWE Anymore?

[Blackjack]

Ricky Steamboat was great at arm drags and they always got a good response fro the crowd. Now, nobody does them at all. Why not? Is there a rule against using them?

 

[El Dandy]

Because

Spoiler

you touch yourself

Because you can't dive from an armdrag.

I'm pretty sure I've seen Gable doing them recently.

Gable, Rollins, AJ, Balor, Roode and some of the 205 guys have used them recently.


They just aren't a "spot" anymore so they go unnoticed.

Anyone else notice the Luger head-nod to Rodman, right before the arm drag...I imagine he told him now, after Luger backed himself near the ropes, for more room.

No one on the crowd notices anything anymore unless it's a dive or involves a table.

ARM BAR

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

They’ve been replaced with finishing moves or super kicks.

Arm drag was one of the sweetest moves in wrestling. Some dudes were so slick with them.

I will cut you

 

[D.R.H.]

I will cut you

With what? A baguette?

 

[Batjester]

I will cut you

Yet you didn't deny it.

watch an old event. I just think they used up all the arm drag equity a long time ago.
