• Blood & Piledrivers Banned During WrestleMania 34 Week In New Orleans
According to John Pollock on Post Wrestling, blood & piledrivers will be banned during WrestleMania 34 week in New Orleans. Below is what John tweeted:
I spoke with a member of the Louisiana Boxing & Wrestling Commission today and they confirmed that blood and piledrivers are prohibited on professional wrestling shows, regarding WrestleMania Week shows in and around New Orleans – will have info in news update @POSTwrestling

While this doesn’t come as a surprise as both of these things are already banned in WWE, but the question that arises is what’s gonna happen to the finishing move of The Undertaker – “Tombstone Piledriver”? (since current plan is for The Undertaker to return for a match at WrestleMania 34).
We’ll keep you updated regarding this.
