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. I think its because of the youtube, facebook, and twitter logos. Though actually, thinking about it again that'd make sense seeing how theyre all social media crazy now.

Kane's the Big Red Monster, but he used to be the Big Red Machine. His attire's been primaily black for years.
Vince McMahon's pomapdour never recovered from getting his head shaved.

ANYone prior to winning a world title, or getting a push losing their personality,and/or becoming "more aggressive"
Christian, Swagger, Miz, Del Rio, and so many others all lost their personality, and became "aggressive" once they won a world title....WHY?!

Zack Ryder's half short, half long tights. I loved the absurdity of those.

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. For some reason, I just had the image of him using this gimmick still, but with Ember's "You Will Remember My Name" as his theme song. The image is hilarious.

Cody should've kept the mask on for a lot longer. It helped get him over as a heel.

Paranoid, self rambling, smoking, arachnophobic, you gun git got, heel R-Truth. Became smiling, dancing, little jimmy buddy R-Truth. One is revolutionary, one is a channel changer.

Man alive, the MVP character ruled. The "biggest contract in Smackdown history, the inflatable entrance. His feud with Matt hardy was just awesome Even post-turn he could have been something. They dropped the ball with him so so badly

This never really hurt JBL, but i missed the catchphrase......
" A WRESTLLLIINNGGGG....... GODDDD!"
he only used it for a few months.
Also AW getting fired in some way hurt the primetime players character development.

Cody's biggest problem is how quickly his character changed. Less than a year as "Dashing" Cody Rhodes (one of the best hammy gimmicks we've had in a long time), and less than a year as "Deformed" Cody Rhodes. I'm not even sure what he currently would be ("Deranged" Cody Rhodes, I guess?). Cody has been FANTASTIC in all three phases, but they happened so close together that there's been no real emotional impact between the changes.

This is one of my pet hates that i was going to make a thread about...i HATE when they have a heel doing something that starts to get over...so they take it away from him to stop getting cheered. Armando estrada lost his catchphrase...swagger lost the soaring eagle...and one that i remember annoying me at the time...Matt Hardy losing the Matt Facts and opening keyboard intro! The way i see it...if the heel gimmick is getting over...unless you have concrete plans for that guy...why not turn him face. The funny thing is some heels who get over with their stuff get turned face whilst others have it taken away.
Take for example Daniel Bryan...i wouldn't have been suprised if back when YES got over they stopped him saying it to maintain his heelness!

Imo, ever since the Usos shortened their Siva Tau entrance, it's been crap.

I agree with having Brodus stop talking... his SHALL I GET HIM!? and MY BAD! were some of the main things that people were cheering for... Also... Alberto Del Rio's smile and wink BUT YOU... you already knew that.
