Why does Bryan not do any suplex/lifting moves?

Because he likes his mma style his kicks and his moves makes him unique from everyone else.

Maybe McMahon has banned slams next.

Just wait until Survivor Series.

Scott Steiner will return then, abduct Daniel Bryan and introduce him on the following RAW as his new student, Little Danny Pump.

Suplex galore to follow.

I really like his current moveset, but he does have a ton of suplex variations if they ever decide to let him use them:

Not sure why, he used a ton of suplex moves in the independents but this is WWE after all. I think he should adapt the regal-plex to his move-set since it could be in tribute to William Regal. So far I have seen him do the German and snap suplex in the WWE. But hes adopted more of a brawler style. I think he will gradually add more moves to his arsenal once it's time for a change in his own moveset.

Suplexes are banned, or something, or atleast are very rare. He still does the snap suplex.

Orton, Sheamus, Bryan, Natalya, Drew McIntyre, CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, Brodus Clay, Cody Rhodes (I think), Mark Henry

That is all that comes to mind right now, I'm sure there are more.

Well the basic suplex is a rarity these days. I think it's just 100% to do with Bryan's booking. He probably has the strength to give suplexs to many superstars on the roster, but WWE don't want him to. Maybe they don't want him overshadowing other talents in the ring. It's usually only on PPV's when they're given more time in matches that they can bring out moves that they rarely use, and when they do and perform them perfectly, you can get a classic like Bryan vs Punk was at Over The Limit was.

Back in the good old day of wrestling, it's common to do suplex and lifting moves instead of boring punches. I think right now Sheamus is the one who do the most suplex and lifting.

Punk used a vertical suplex at mitb and a fishermans at otl but he does not do them a lot.Lesnar has only had one match back and he used strikes and submissions.Clay has his t bone the rest i have never seen use a suplex as of late.wwe is a very watered down style for the kids.Most matches in wwe consist of kicks,punches,more kicks and then finishers.

I made a thread like this 2 or 3 months ago and got about -10 rep for it, just for asking the same question. Anyway, I don't think suplexes are banned, but I don't think wrestlers are allowed to have creative control in their matches anymore. WWEPGTV is designed for children, and the WWE always has that disclaimer saying "PLEASE DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME" so they don't want the lil jimmy's getting any ideas. On PPV's which almost no children watch, wrestlers are allowed to perform moves you wouldn't normally see on TV, because sane adults are watching.

And that's probably why McIntyre is still on superstars

I know he made the call himself to get rid of cattle mutilation, so he might have a lot to do with it. He's a really smart worker who knows how to adapt his moveset, and he knows that throwing guys around the ring wouldn't look realistic in the WWE universe.

He still busts out the snap chancery on PPVs, and that's probably my favorite of his suplexes, so I'm happy. I do wish he would bring back the rolling elbow and the rapid fire elbows, as those look brutal but don't involve him making anyone look bad by having a little guy throw them around.

It's silly cause he's bloody good at suplexses.

I think it's because he's a pretty small guy and despite being able to Suplex someone the size of Tensai or even Big show, Vince doesn't want him to do suplexes?
Bryan's suplexes are pretty good.
