Sure we there's a lot of nerds out there who'll b---ch "continuity" or "that doesnt' make sense" about just about anything but let's this about the things that rarely get talked about and never explained (at least in a good way) that we usually don't bother to talk about. Usually cause we like what afterwards, that we tend to just let it go.
Steve Austin wins the WWf title by a Mike Tyson Swerve. Seriously, what the hell was that?
Trish Stratus. If I remember correctly, nothing this woman's ever done has made sense. Turns heel by leaving Jericho for the guy who kicked both their asses. Turns face after months of being a B---tch, and helps the successor to the last woman she hated. Not to mention when she was "the best heel ever" her character was a complete 180 ala JBL and aligned herself with all her enemies. One of whom being Molly who was a face for a virgin and then becomes a heel for being a slut.

The US title. I think with the exception of Eddie, Cena, Booker, and Benoit who did, this belt is never defended on TV.

I agree that does not make any sense... in fact it has both frightened and intrigued me wondering whati t would be like to hear the Warrior Rap...

One of whom being Molly who was a face for a virgin and then becomes a heel for being a very *friendly* person. No, Molly was a heel virgin: Chris Nowinski made it his life ambition to take her virginity. Unfortunately, his injury scuppered that plan... as far as we know... Regarding the US Title, Eddie, Benoit, Cena and Booker are basically the entire US Title scene since its redebut, but Big Show defended it a couple of times on TV, Carlito won AND lost the title on TV, and Orlando Jordan made (incredibly) sporadic defences on Smackdown! and Velocity. People who team up with no explanation after feuding for ages, that does my head in. Why, e.g., were Benoit and Edge aligned together on Edge's return? Why are Benoit and Booker supposedly "good friends"? What cause for Cena and Big Show to team up before both were traded to Raw? And so on.

The night after the invasion ended with Austin turning heel and Vince turning face for absolutely no reason. Ridiculous.

Kane's storyline is rife with this stuff. But the one that always got me was:
If he was living in Paul Bearer's closet (or something), how did he get a girlfriend?

Well, you'll just have to buy the Kane biography, Karisma!

Hearing Roddy Piper defend Hulk Hogan when he was doing commentary in the early 90's WWF was just plain bizarre.

ECW: Why do a corporate executive (Bischoff) and his buddies care about a company that drove itself into extinction? Why help it out by buying out the best seats in the building?
Molly is a virgin: Why did nobody complain? It's actually showing what's wrong with our culture. We love sluts, and whores, yet we hate those god-awful virginal women with *GASP* morals. I knew a devoutly religious mark who often wished death on Molly.

Well, you'll just have to buy the Kane biography, Karisma! There are no words in the English language to accurately convey the level to which that will never happen. Kane is the King of the Plotholes through no fault of his own. This "bio" is supposed to clear up a lot of the nonsense that keeps us going "Huh? But what about..." Nonsense that could have been avoided had someone actually kept and referred back to notes in Creative.
And having Roddy Piper calling our HBK to question him about Hulk Hogan was bordering on the "WHAT?!?" level for me. Had I actually heard him defend Hulk Hogan or (God Forbid) seen them tag together at the end of the night, I'm sure I would have had a medical episode of some sort.

How about rookies getting title shots without ever proving themselves?

How about the fact that HACKSAW Jim Duggan carried a 2 x4 instead of an actual Hacksaw
The Fact that Ted Dibiase had a body guard who he could easily beat up
The Heel GM or Owner who hates the face champion when it's probably in their best financial interest to have them in the spotlight.
In all his time as the Barber, Ed Leisle never actually used his Hedge Clippers in a match, at least then it might have made his matches more interesting

You just reminded me of the greatness of Christopher Nowinski, and why he is truely missed. By me anyway.

how come when edge tore his groin last year while he IC champ, he got his title striped because he wouldn't be able to do to "must defened every 30days" or whatever the rule is.
YET
trish stratus leaves for FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS, and shes still champion. wasnt she gone for like....147days? i know someone told me that, and i dont know why they counted, but come on. its effing pathetic. poor edge.

Yeah when no one cares about a title stuff like that happens all the time like when Gillberg was lightheavyweight champion and he disappeared for about a year then came back to finally drop the title.

We love very *friendly* persons, and Bob Sagets, yet we hate those god-awful virginal women with *GASP* morals. I knew a devoutly religious mark who often wished death on Molly. O people complained, my beef was the more confusing part, why the hell was trish a heel for the exact opposite personality? Apparently the audience don't like Bob Saget's or prudes.

How about upon his return, Edge NOT looking for the person who took him out @ No Way Out 2003?
