What are some common angles that keep popping up over the years that you are tired of seeing..
Mine is the wrestler goes on losing streak, only to lead to a face turn or heel turn (Kind of what it appears they might do to Orton), MVP as an example..
The evil foreign guy, is always a heel with the exception now of Sheamus. Most notably the evil middle eastern wrestler.
Also tired of the fact that Angle is in TNA!!!
The angle or gimmick where they band three or more people together who are canadian.
Also quit trying to make a new NWO type faction work.

I came in to post losing streaks. Not so much because they are bad, but because WWE never pays them off properly.
See Drew McIntrye.

Tag teams breaking up in an attempt to find The Next Shawn Michaels. It's useless because in a lot of cases they end up doing nothing with either man. Also singles wrestlers end up wrestling in tag matches every other week, so there's no point in breaking up an alliance just to push them as singles stars.

Tag teams as singles jobbers. And vice versa.

Tag teams as singles jobbers. And vice versa. For me, this is a bit of a grey area. To me, it's okay to have Titus O'Neil put over Ryback in a singles match, but it's not okay to have Ryback run over Primo & Epico in a handicap match. It's okay to have The Prime Time Players possibly go over two random singles guys who have an established alliance, but it's not okay to pair not pair Yoshi Tatsu and Derrick Bateman up for the sole purpose of using them as fodder. |

Wrestling talk shows.
Tag team partner suddenly turning on his teammate.
Two main event guys team up, can't get along and still manage to win the tag belts over a cohesive tandem.
On screen general managers taking up far too much time. It doesn't matter if they're face or heel, I don't care.
Big One. BOOKING THE MAIN EVENT OF THE SHOW AFTER THE SHOW HAS BEGUN.
Also opening the show with a drawn out talky segment.

Practically everything seen on WWE programming today
You name it, they've overdone it.

Dueling catchphrase bits.
Miz and Flair Woo-ing and Really-ing back and forth is a recent cringe-worthy example. I guess they're supposed to be magical moments, but they're just lazy and lame.

The unstoppable monster - a guy booked as a dominate force due to his size or look, that destroys mid-carders (sometimes in handicap matches) in the build-up to a main-event level push that the monster is in no-way ready for. Six months later he may be dancing with comedy figures.
This also applies to previous monsters that have been active for a number of years, and rotate between being a normal wrestler and an unstoppable monster depending on the push at the time (see Big Show, and Kane).

Seriously? Let's take a little break from this schtick. It's only been going on constantly since... at least 2000.
I'm friggin' sick of it.

[Insert female wrestler here] is prettier, smarter, cleaner, nicer, more interesting and more talented than [Insert other female wrestler here].
Similarly, "The Janetty." Having one wrestler call the other that and then beat them is tantamount to the NFL calling a new quarterback "The Next Jamarcus Russell."

Heel Authority figures. Just stop it. Thirded. Every attempt at making an overly heel boss character just ends up turning into a derivative of the Steve Austin vs. Vince McMahon feud. |
