Blood and Piledriver banned from WWE Wrestlemania 34

Bengaluru, March 9: Wrestlemania event has gradually become bigger, every year. Earlier it used to be a pure wrestling show. But, after a lot of hard work, WWE has made it a top show for the mainstream audience which is why it is one of biggest events in the world, right now. According to the updates from WWE.com, it is ranked amongst the most successful events,

“WrestleMania has once again ranked on Forbes’ Fab 40. The Showcase of the Immortals, which just celebrated its 33rd edition this past April in Orlando, ranked at No. 6 on the magazine’s long-running list of the world’s most valuable sports brands, above institutions such as the UEFA Champions League and the Daytona 500.”

Fans from all over the world make time to witness this extravaganza for an entire week. The Wrestlemania Axxess, Hall of Fame ceremony and NXT Takeover events have made this show, an event not to be missed. However, recent reports suggest that there will be few things that will be banned from this year’s show.



Accordin to stillrealtous.com, the law of the Louisiana does not allow blood and piledrivers in the programme which is why these two exciting elements will not be seen at Wrestlemania. Check out the updates from the source,

“John Pollock is reporting (via the Wrestling Observer Newsletter) that due to regulations imposed by the Louisiana Boxing and Wrestling Commission blood and piledrivers are banned from all wrestling shows in the state. The commission is set to have a meeting on March 7th to determine whether or not the Canadian Destroyer is considered a piledriver.”



Since WWE has moved into the PG era, blood has already been prohibited from live TV, for a while now. But, there should be a problem with the restriction of piledriver as it’s the finishing move of the Undertaker. If The Deadman is included into the match card of Wrestlemania then it’s hard to believe that he will not perform his iconic move.

Later, Wrestling Observer Newsletter assured the fans that if The Undertaker performs at 'Mania then he will perform the Piledriver, at least for a couple of times. It might only happen if WWE and the State of Louisianan come to an agreement before the biggest event of the year. He performed here at Wrestlemania 30, four years ago and he didn't face such restriction that time.
