5 things that are banned in WWE and the reasons why

#4 Head chair shots

Ouch!

Chair shots to the head are intended to cause a great deal of damage; at least, in a storyline. Alas, it wasn’t just on screen that they were affecting the superstars, with Chris Benoit being one of the main victims of the repeated shots to the head. Upon his death, coroners estimated that he had the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient.

Which, as you can expect, lead to Vince McMahon banning all forms of head shots in order to help the wrestlers and take some heat off of the company.

This rule has been broken a couple times over the last few years, with a notable incident being when Triple H struck The Undertaker with an exposed head shot at WrestleMania 27.
