I hate when WWE is constantly taking away small things ruining characters so let's make a list of things they removed that hurt characters
1. Brodus talking during matches
2. Swagger doing push-ups and making him a srs heel when he won the belt
3. Swagger Eagle
All I can think of off the top of my head for now

John Morrison's poetic rabble talk. Referencing things like The Palace of Wisdom, and being beyond good and evil. Turning face stripped him of pretty much all of that, leaving him as your typical "Night at the Improv" WWE face.

I liked when Ziggler was more of a showman, shaking hands before the match. He was still able to be a cocky asshole during the match, but maintained his "humility" outside of it.

The "Hi, I'm Dolph Ziggler" gimmick should've never been dropped. He should've kept that through his entire run as a catchphrase. And as the character evolved and Dolph becomes a better talker, the "Hi, I'm Dolph Ziggler" could've evolved into a "FINALLY"-style intro for his promos.

Kinda a general one but wrestlers wearing their latest shirt rather than their unique ring gear. I remember Wade had a spell when he dropped his awesome long coat to just wearing his t-shirt to the ring instead and I'm sure it's happened with other wrestlers too.

And they wonder why people don't get over, don't have personalities, or anything like that. It's because they take away things that make the character unique.
I mean, take the ring gear that Ryback! Loves Rarity mentioned. It makes a character stand out. One thing I never understand is why Damien Sandow wears his own t-shirt. Why would someone of such high elegance and class wear a t-shirt. A man of such refinement should be wearing the most elegant clothing, no?
Brodus' in-ring talking, it was awesome and over. It gave him more of a personality. They suck the personality out of the people they're trying to create personalities for.

Remember when Randy Orton loved life? This was after he beat Christian for the world title (not looked upon fondly by many). He was doing things like the starjump and acting real goofy in the ring.

I miss back in the Attitude Era when guys would wear street clothes if they weren't booked to have a match. Everyone walking around backstage in full gear seems so pointless.
Percy Watson's personality is another good answer.

They didn't remove it, because I don't think he ever had it on TV, but I've never understood why they let Cole mention that Ryder is the Internet Champion, plus it's on one of his officially licensed t-shirts, but they won't let him wear it on TV.

The way I saw it, Zack was a jobber who couldn't win any of the real titles, so he made up his own title for self-validation. But once he won an actual championship, the United States Title, the Internet Title ran its course and was no longer needed. |
