#4 The Punt Kick

A move that involves straight up kicking an opponent in their head, the punt kick has only been used by one man in the western wrestling world--Randy Orton.

Randy debuted the move during his 'Viper' transformation when he transitioned from being the handsome blue chipper to an unrelentingly violent heel.

Why the move was banned: Orton hurt a few wrestlers for real with the move, most notably Vince McMahon. Also, the move is thought to be too easy for children to emulate and could lead to lawsuits.

Who has banned the move: The WWE disallowed Orton to use the move, though other wrestlers such as Shinsuke Nakamura are allowed to use similar strikes to the head. Similar offence to the Punt Kick can be found all over the Japanese promotions, and in heavy use in ROH and the indie scene.
