Another thing: exactly what are WWE tag-team rules? The usual pattern of the matches includes the invariable spot where the babyface comes in to try to stop the heels from cheating and the ref escorts him back out of the ring, threatening disqualification -- so the heels cheat some more. This I get: good ways for the heels to get over as heels and whatnot. But also invariably, at some point later in the match someone not legally in the ring comes in to make the save, and the other guy not legally in the ring also comes in -- so we have four peopel going at it, with two of them being legal. Why doesn't the ref order the illegal guys both out of the ring and DQ either or both teams (depending on whether they comply)? If it's against the rules the first time, why is it OK later? The illegal man isn't supposed to be in the ring unless it is to break up a submission or pinfall attempt. At this point, all 4 men can be in the ring. Just like in the video games. The idea behind the ref "allowing" all 4 men in the ring when there's no pin or submission going on used to be that he just lost control of the match and would take a minute or so to regain it. It's become so formulaic that either the ref doesn't play the part properly anymore and the announcers don't explain it right, or we really just don't pay it any attention anymore. I'm really not sure.

Why John Cena is fired, yet assaulting contracted workers on WWE television and not in jail right now. Well Nexus never gotten justice either when they invaded Raw.

Pretty much everything about this. If the match was made no-DQ and Batista returned, then it would have made since for Triple H to win.

I'm more focused on the entire feud and storyline they followed. Nothing makes sense in the conventional manner. Triple H and Stephanie are married again because the writers say so. Stipulations are made then immediately thrown away never to be mentioned again. Randy Orton's plan for revenge against Triple H for something that happened 4 years prior when the two had faced off numerous times since then. On top of that his entire master plan conspiracy makes no logical sense anyway you look at it. Then the match completely blows, killing the lowest of expectations. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!

Why a no dq ecw made wrestlers release the submission move when they got to the ropes Because a submission when they got to the ropes already wouldn't count.

The count out rules. Especially when there is two wrestlers outside the ring. Sometimes the ref breaks the count when one wrestler gets back in the ring and sometimes he keeps counting. Best I can tell, the rule is if you roll in the ring, then immediately roll back out, that breaks the count for both wrestlers, but if you just jump into the ring at the last second, the count on the other guy continues no matter when he left the ring.
Also, why Finlay was disqualified from the Royal Rumble for using a shillelagh, when the rules are that the only way you can be eliminated is by being thrown over the top rope.

But, by that logic, couldn't Tajiri, for instance, tie someone up in the Tarantula, hang on until they started tapping, then drag them to the middle of the ring and try some other submission hold? He's ready to tap anyways... Also, why Finlay was disqualified from the Royal Rumble for using a shillelagh, when the rules are that the only way you can be eliminated is by being thrown over the top rope. Sandman got DQ'ed for caning the piss out of everyone another year. They probably just don't mention foreign objects are grounds for disqualification because they don't think anyone would try it.

It's meant to be when someone leaves the ring it is reset. Vince didn't want him to win and was punishing him. Why didn't Orton get fired after his loss at Mania to HHH? Wasn't the whole plan to 'stop Wrestlemania'?

I'm actually a little confused by a wrestling move. The Electric Chair Drop.
Is it a slam to the opponent's face or to the opponent's back?

I remember wrestlers used to get away with hitting guys with weapons as long as it was outside of the ring, I never understood how that worked.

Why do they have to wear wrestling boots? What is the advantage to them? Nothing at all
If foreign objects are so horrible why let wrestlers bring them down to the ring with their attire or having them under the ring? Seriously what do you need a table under the ring for?
How is it the ref always misses where regal hids his knucks? You have seen him pull them out in every other match he has had unless the refs don't watch any of the other matches and are oblivious
Also Monsoon use to say "such and such did his homework" did wrestlers stop doing their home work?

Sandman's only Rumble appearance was 2007. He did indeed cane the piss out of everybody, but was eliminated regular-style by King Booker after 13 seconds. 2001 also saw heavy weapon use by Kane, Raven, Al Snow, Perry Saturn and Steve Blackman, with no DQs.

No, he got disqualifed for coming in early, which throws continuity out of the water since Rude did the same thing 18 years earlier. How can Zack Gowen better in matches than Colin Delaney? He's basically a one-legged version of him. How did Ron Simmons go from being well spoken to only saying "damn"(or words that sound alike)?

Maybe when Rude did it they were like damn we should make a rule about that
