when did a stand up fire mans carry aka the fu become a high impact move. does getting a leg drop from a 50+ year old man really hurt-hulk hogan. does a finger to the throat really cause you to pass out-umaga. you tell me.

Since WWE changed from wrestling to sports entertainment.

When?
I don't know about you but I'll take a "sissy move"(aka "if you soak in hot water or need a rubdown after that, you need to quit wrestling" move) any day of the week over.......
Getting hit by "sweet chin music"... where you can see the connection and almost feel the pain from it, a "batista bomb" where you know the loser will definitely feel the back pains later and even still when a "power slam" or even a high flying off the turnbuckle maneuver is connected, the impact of a a chair to the head/back causes someone to pass out for real or lastly, the almighty leap off the tallest ladder connection.
When we stop recognizing real talent for what it actually is we end up with something that doesn't look like it hurts at all which is exactly what we, the fans, are getting even though we can tell the difference upon the connection point where we can see that real pain is not actually being emitted because either the hand goes up to the area to protect it or the mark is definitely way off.
Hey, I recognized this a long time ago myself yet you best believe that Vince knows who he likes and who he hates.

Whenever you have 1 dimensional wrestlers, you'll have 1 dimensional finishers. Many of the so-called finishers are just "flash in the pan" moves, that comes across as amazing to the average 10 year old. To a smark and devout follower of wrestling, most of those "finishers" are nothing more than a debilitating move.
It is like the focus has shifted to entertainment and forgotten about the sport. BTW, I am a huge fan of Hulk Hogan, the Rock, and Cena, but their finishers are portrayed as being much more damaging than it actually is.

I agree with u 100% HBK's Sweet Chin Music is way better than a sissy leg drop by Hulk Hogan but Shawn mIcheals still lost to Hulk Hogan he hit Hulk Hogan 2 times with the Sweet Chin Music

Not all finishers are sissy moves, like HBK's, HHH's, or RKO's. But when it comes to Hogan, I totally agree . Any other wrestler couldn't get away with getting hit with Sweet Chin Music twice and hitting HBK with a lame leg drop and winning, but, unfortunately Hulk Hogan is too proud (or whatever) to job to anyone.

Well you got a point but i disagree about umaga...that s*** would hurt. But the most impact has to be Batista's move and the scissor kick to the head by king Booker/Booker T

I agree, some of this finishers are pathetic! Hogans has always pissed me off. Big fan of the pedigree or piledriver.

LOL I agree. What ever happened to embarassing the hell out of the looser or destroying him completely? Such punks, such wusses!
