Whilst not technically a move, but there are plenty of fans who are still bitter about chair shots to the head being banned on WWE TV. During the height of the Attitude Era, chair shots to the head were commonplace in the WWF, and even more common in ECW.

However, following the company's move to a PG rating in 2008, all chair shots to the head are banned, with a hefty fine being imposed on Superstars who dare to use it.

Following the Benoit double murder-suicide, the WWE began looking at the damage of blows to the head more serious, with chair shots obviously being something that could lead to brain damage.

Despite the rule, and the fine, Triple H and The Undertaker did bust out chair shots to the head at WrestleMania 27.
