I really ought to check the Compendium or something first, seeing these powers. That's really cool, then. Oops, my bad. I really ought to check the Compendium or something first, seeing these powers.

I'd like to see someone create a non-lethal luchador character around attacks like this. Opening shove is definitely one of my favorite non-fighty powers so far.

Opening Shove doesn't even specify an enemy - the target is "One creature". And correct, the exploit does no damage. You could conceivably give the order to the same target you have pushed, as long as they are an ally. So you could give someone a shove to get them going while shouting "run!". A nice dramatic moment of self sacrifice perhaps. Very nice. Opening Shove doesn’t even specify an enemy – the target is “One creature”. And correct, the exploit does no damage.

So there's no damage- lethal or otherwise. Your example here is a great inspiration for me. Next time I need to move my party around, I'll shove one and shift another one. A good whack on the side of the head with my spear butt should get the fighter in the position I want him to be in.

I'd think this can have all sorts of interesting applications, although you bring up a good, valid side effect of it, which is that you've just attacked an innocent with potentially lethal damage. (Which could be problematic...would a crowd of spectators count as minions? That....would not be good) So that could prove to be indeed problematic. Quite nice.
