So we had a thread about little things that make you sad in the WWE but let's get a bit on the positive side. What are some of the littlest things that put a smile on your face?
I, for one, love it when I see champions treat their titles like their girlfriend. Like the way they would hug it, kiss it, caress it and show it off to everyone instead of carrying it around like some sort of accessory. It says a lot about how much they value it.

As I posted in the other thread, the Owen chants on the Raw after WM 26. Made me happy and sad at the same time

I don't know about you, but seeing a superstar making out with his championship belt creeps me out more than anything else.

The Miz becoming only the second heel to successfully retain the Championship at WrestleMania's main event, and doing so 11 years after the first.

I, for one, love it when I see champions treat their titles like their girlfriend. Like the way they would hug it, kiss it, caress it and show it off to everyone instead of carrying it around like some sort of accessory. It says a lot about how much they value it. I miss this. I remember when superstars (Bret comes to mind) would so much as kiss their title before giving it to an official prior to a title match. Back then, being a champion was much more than a title, and the belt was a symbol of their new status. Also, I personally prefer when superstars have emotional reactions to winning titles or major contests (Royal Rumble, NXT, etc.); it humanizes them, while making their win that much more visually powerful. When Edge won the Rumble in 2010, I was like "cool, he's going to WrestleMania," but when Del Rio won it earlier this year, you could feel the pride radiating off of him. You could even hear it in Ricardo's voice; him winning the Rumble was a big flipping deal. Same with Miz's emotional reaction to winning the WWE title and Curtis's similarly emotional reaction to winning NXT 4, a moment I should add, that made me care for NXT again, if just for that moment. There shouldn't be a "meh" reaction to winning a title, or the Rumble, or something like that. |

Yeah yeah i know that was "one of the main events" but it didn't close the show |

In no particular order:
Matches with time limits.
The tag rope.
Changing up the color of the ring ropes every now and then.
The ovaltron from the old SmackDown! set. The fist was pretty bitchin too.
Oldschool RAW.
C.M. Punk.
When Regal wipes his feet before he enters the ring.
When the winner of the Rumble goes on last at Mania.
The main event and tag team scenes from late 2002. (SmackDown! 6)
Paul Heyman.
There's more but I should stop here. This was fun.

When a wrestler I like gets to wrestle a match long enough to warrant a commercial break.

When a crowd is emotionally involved in a match, thus making a mockery of the "we aren't wrestling" mindset of WWE management.

There shouldn't be a "meh" reaction to winning a title, or the Rumble, or something like that. I totally agree - I've been watching regularly again since right before Summerslam, and these have been my two favorite moments basically since then ... the Miz's pure joy, and A-Ry, too, you can't fake that. Really, we see so much cruddy acting (which I love and find immensely entertaining but it is forced and phony a lot of the time), that when those moments of true emotion shine though, it's really fun. |

I loved the concept of the original NXT until they started kicking everyone out.

It makes me happy to see the less popular guys like Trent Barreta scoring a win over the more frequently seen superstars like Drew McIntyre.
Really, when I saw Trent score an upset over Drew, I shouted in joy as I stare on the TV screen while raising my fists.

Mindnumbingly awesome crowd reactions, like when HBK kicked out of the Tombstone at WM 25.
Kickpads. Love em.
