To the extent the law of occupation permits the confiscation or requisition of property, taking control of cyber infrastructure or systems is likewise permitted.

At no time did Savoldi attempt to employ the new attack that he calls "drop-kick." Once he offended the rules by using a flying tackle

1937 SAVOLDI'S DROP KICK
Easily the most spectacular match-winner of this season is Joe Savoldi's drop kick. It will be easily understood from this picture why "when they are kicked they stay kicked." After a man is stunned by the kick it is an easy matter for Savoldi to body press a fall.

Joe Savoldi, perhaps the originator of the dropkick, used to have a glorious crop of curls

okay, I'll just go out and my dropkick: raise the right hand, right leg, and then I had this flash of reality. Newton's law is equal force meets equal force, whatever that thing is, everything is equal, and I realize in a dropkick when you go up in the air like that, any force you push is hardly any force at all. The reality is, a dropkick has no significance whatsoever, only on the stuntman, that reels back.
