Yeah I did this before, but the board crashed a little later and I didn't know how to revive posts at the time.
But yeah, what little things do you miss or dislike that a wrestler added or took out of their repetoire?
My original post had some good stuff but I can't remember them all right now so I'll just post a few at a time right now.
I miss Kurt Angle's "It's true, it's true" catchphrase. As well as his 3 I's.
John Cena dropped all his references to thugganomics, and word life and I completely forget he had a move called the throwback. I know why he stopped cutting promos in rhyme, but I missed them in his heel persona.
I think I heard people say they don't like when a wrestler is referred to by only the first or last name. Like how Gene Snitsky is just Snitsky, and Carlito has dropped the Caribbean Cool part of his name.

I miss how HHH hasn't done the drop-knee-to-head thing in a long ass time.
I'm sure I'll think of more later.

I really don't know why Cena dropped some of the things he did. They really mellowed out his character way too much.
I miss a lot of Angle's stuff too.
I miss Chris Jericho heel persona from his debut... but thats been a LONG time.

According to our friends at UPN or "The U" They are going to change it to Friday Night Smackdown. I know it deosnt seem like a big deal but it makes me mad. Wrestleview has a story up on it.

First i've heard of them changing the name...any idea what its gonna be??? They released a press release saying the name would change when it moved to Friday. They didn't say what it would change to. Edit: Actually they did. Adding Friday Night to the title ain't exactly revolutionary.

Well, it wouldn't make much sense for it to be called "Thursday Night Smackdown" when it airs on Friday nights.

it was never called Thursday Night Smackdown it was just Smackdown. I know its being nit picky but I hate name changes. Like if they changed Wrestlemania to March Madness people would be pissed.

John Cena has to drop parts of his character as they are dropped by hip hop culture at large. the throwback was never going to last very long because he got into the game very close to the death of the throwback as a fashion statement in the hip hop community. I miss how they very subtlely changed Kane from a Dentist. Actually to be serious, I have a problem with the fact that when they demasked Kane, he had long hair in the back, shaved in the front (unlike the shaved in the front, just a little bit longer in he back as they have now). He would look a lot cooler, and I would respect Glen Jacobs a whole lot more, if they had stuck with the shave-front, long-back. I'd like them to have kept the mask more than anything, though.
