WWE banned steel chair shots to the head in 2010 in an attempt to reduce the risk of concussion-related injuries. Before the rule was enforced, it was common for Superstars to hit each other with chair shots to the head in the 1990s and 2000s.
Hall of Famers Gerald Brisco and JBL spoke to former WWE star Pete Gas on the latest episode of Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw. During a discussion about chair shots to the head, JBL provided details on the “awesome” gift he once received from Shane McMahon.
WWE stars are still allowed to use steel chairs in 202, but the majority of chair shots are aimed at an opponent’s back or another part of their body.

One of Pete Gas’ most memorable WWE moments came when JBL struck him with a forceful chair shot to the head.
The 2020 WWE Hall of Famer clarified that he “really played rough” with everyone he entered the ring with, including Gas.
Pete Gas became associated with WWE due to his real-life friendship with Shane McMahon. After appearing in Mean Street Posse vignettes in 1999, he worked for WWE for two years before retiring from wrestling.
