Well like what's been pointed out Orton used it at Extreme Rules 2013 so I'm guessing it still gets used when it's needed.That was stupid imo. The move was super over. But how come Del Rio is allowed to kick wrestlers heads off but Orton cant use the punt?
Orton himself said Vince asked him to legit kick him in the headWatch the clip of him punting Vince, and you'll understand why they'd discourage the move. Even the "protected" version of that move could cripple a man.
