WM entrances becoming more elaborate then the PPV itself, you wanna make the entrance special ok, wanna wear something different then you normaly do ok, but when you get to the point when you come out in full Konan gear sitting on the throne, or your comming out to a marching band, perhaps its time to tone it down, look no further then Ric Flairs retirement match, thats how you do a special entrance without going over the top. I actually don't mind this honestly....and it's not entirely new given that Taker did it at 9..... The reason I don't mind it though is because it's a one off occasion a year so it proves that it is the most important PPV of the year by having a grand entrance....

Tag team matches with rivals forced to team together. THIS! Main event tag teams in general bore the tears out of me. Every WWE tag match has the same hot-tag formula that it's so boring to watch. I wish they would just abolish tag-team matches for a few months. Don't abolish tag teams/matches, just find new ways to work those matches without having the Hot Tag spot.

Uber-face beats numerous men in handicap match, especially when it involves the tag team champions.

Face Tag Team joins face Number 1 Contender against Heel Champion and lackeys in a 6-man tag match
In fact, 6-man tag matches main event, it's all that happens now anyways

The dive to the outside onto everybody in multi-man matches/brawls, it used to be great but it's been done so often it's essentially the same as a headlock, when people are only just hit it's even worse.
Similarly the TLC style matches have lost their impact, everything is too choreographed. The one-on-one versions are the worst though, what possible reason to they have to stack tables on top of each other, in the tag team/mitb they can at least be traps to eliminate rivals.
HIAC, thumbtacks and vehicular assault all suffer similar problems.
Faces that act like heels, when Austin started doing this it was fresh, when Eddie played up to the role it was funny, when Batista does it he is just a heel.
The Jerry Lynn/RVD chain wrestle, staredown of mutual respect, crowd cheer spot.
Finally booing faces and cheering heels for no good reason and dueling chants (95% of the time), it used to be rebellious but is now stupid.

Thats what I hated about the Taker/Edge one, Taker stacked two tables on top of each other taking like a minute to do it...and then climbed the ladder for the belt, only for edge to surprise surprise cut him off and put him through the tables. I don't like episodes of Raw that cut off midway. They happen less now but it would go down like this: Wrestler A and B are having a match. Wrestler B (The heel) is almost beaten, so his cronies come down. Heels beat up wrestler A for a DQ for a couple minutes. Random faces come down and beat up B's cronies. JR says something like "BAH GAWD ITS ALL BREAKING DOWN ON RAW!". The "Copyright 2006 WWE" Logo comes up and we fade out. For gods sake, how hard is it to show a resolution? If you don't want it too look like anyone won, have a suicide dive that knocks everyone unconscious. Just something to mean it actually ends.

You know a commercial break is coming when you see someone get thrown out of the ring.
"And Shawn Michaels goes tumbling to the floor! Who will gain the upper hand in this match? We'll find out...next!"
And two minutes later we come back to find someone in a headlock.

Overly elaborate wrestling entrances that go on in every appearance. Seriously, sometimes the entrance lasts longer than the match/promo the entrances accompany.

Heel A and Heel B are teaming/aligned together. All of a sudden, Heel B gets fed up and turns on Heel A, aligning himself with Face C. But wait, it's not a real turn after all, Heel B was only pretending, and Heels A and B proceed to put a whupping on Face C. When was the last time this happened?

I actually like the show ending with chaos rather than Face/Heel exchange glares every week to close the show. As for me, I'd say the spot where one guy is going for a superplex and another person gets up and gives an electric chair to the guy giving the superplex sending all three men crashing to the mat.

Im aware its not really a new concept persey, for me every year its seems like they have to top the last entrance, i understand thats its for one night, but i think it detracts from the match a bit.

-lame talk show segments Seriously it was crappy enough when Piper did it it's boring as hell now. See, I disagree with this. The formula works as long as you have someone with the charisma to carry it, like a Piper with the Pit or Jericho with the Highlight Reel. MVP's bit, I haven't seen in forever, because I rarely watch SD now, but I'd be willing to bet he does alright. The two recent times where it really didn't work for me were Carlito's Cabana and Rene Dupree's "Cafe Renee".

Heel Divas are jealous of face Divas. This is the only reason they want to fight them. They don't want the title, they don't want to prove who the better wrestler is, they don't even what something silly like the face Diva's boyfriend. No, instead they are just insecure little schoolgirls who can't stand people prettier than them and therefore are jealous. I don't know if this is so much a cliché, as it is a smurfing annoyance. The Jerry Lynn/RVD chain wrestle, staredown of mutual respect, crowd cheer spot. I HATE that, it was all the rage in indy matches 5-6 years ago. It especially funny when neither wrestler is all that good at it and during the "cheer spot", the audience responds with confused silence.
