Default WWE loosening up on high flying moves???

I have no proper source for this, other than the words of another guy on another forum, who went to a Raw House show recently, and witnessed Paul London or Evan Bourne (Forget which) cause it didn't really make sense for Bourne to use the 450 when he uses the SSP) use the 450 splash and has been using for a couple of times apparently.

As you can see i'm not too sure as to who it was, (though it wouldn't make sense for it be Bourne since he's on ECW) and when it was. A mate of mine showed me the thread on another forum so i have no link. But given the fact that Bourne is being allowed to use the SSP as a finisher, i wouldn't be surprised if it is true regardless of whether it's London or Bourne.

Perhaps if anyone has gone to a recent Raw house show can clarify if this is indeed true.

Anyway...IMO it also seems like talent is just being let loose in the ring in general. Matt Hardy busted out a sick crucifix sit out powerbomb on ECW, which i have not seen done in quite a while. IMO it seems like WWE is allowing talent to take a few more risky moves as well as perform them.

I hope what the guy told you is true because according to reports, Brian Kendrick changed his wrestling style and doesn't do high flying maneuvers anymore. I know he's now a heel and has a new gimmick, but it's still weird because Kendrick used to be an awesome high flyer.

I'm sure Kendrick will still use a few high flying moves in a "cocky" kind of way like Shelton does but high flying isn't everything and reports are true. London is using the 450 and Sydal is using the SSP. I find it very shocking since Vince almost fired London on the spot for using a forbidden move at a house show.

i have to say just as u mentioned sheldon benjamin i really think hes not putting as much in as needed the guy was a great amateur wrestler but non of his stuff in the ring iv watched a few matches of and nothing impresses me for a guy with such potential he dont really seem to be making much of himself.

There's definitely something changing as regards high flying moves. I'm just watching ECW on Sky as I type this and just saw Bourne vs Chavo. What I'd like to see is Bourne have a 15 min+ match at some stage instead of time being wasted on ECW with Mark Henry bending frying pans . (sorry for veering off topic) but yeah with guys like Bourne around who can hit their high flying moves perfectly every time I can't see why there shouldn't be a relaxation on the "banned" moves.

We have seen more high-flying recently than it used to be, with that in mind they may in fact be loosening up on that.

I hope someone starts using the 450 Splash again.
