...that goes completely according to plan.
The GM stands there, and when the two wrestlers come out they simply sit down and sign the contract without fighting or talking trash. Afterward, they get up and walk backstage.

The closest thing I can think of to that was the Coin Toss between Bret and Luger to see who would face Yokozuna first at Wrestlemania X. Both guys wanted to win, but Bret especially wanted to win so he wouldn't have to face Owen. They flipped the coin, Luger won and made a slight fist pump, Bret made a disappointed face, and they went to the back. No hijinks or anything from anyone.

Didn't the contract signing for Samoa Joe and Finn Balor go smooth? IIRC, Joe signed, slammed down the pen and left.

If you take away the part about "no talking trash," Bayley and Asuka got through their signing with little incident.

Can we have some legalese for good measure please?

Wasn't that sort of the case with the TLC 2011 signing that even had a group picture after?

I just want an explanation for why contract signings are needed for a lot of big PPV matches announced in advance, but there's nothing at all stopping someone in power from going, "Great, you won! Now immediately face this guy!"

Contract signings are kinda like people declaring that THEY will win the Royal Rumble. It's just a pointless way to waste some time.

The 1st Hogan/Andre signing went without incident, as did Hogan/Warrior. Sting/Muta didn't have a incident either.

Can someone bring a lawyer with them one time check it first wrestlers sign anything without checking. If there not going to check at least change it up have the heel goad the face to sign then laugh at him you have just given up your shot or you have to fight someone else first.

Complete opposite of this thread but I LOVED the TLC 2011 one where Punk was openly waiting for a Pier 6 Brawl to initiate. And then it did, and he was there swinging the belt like a maniac after.

I want to see a contract signing on the go home show before a PPV where someone refuses to sign the contract. We get the GM panicking to find a replacement and you have someone random like Bo Dallas signing the contract. So after 5 weeks of hyping a title match, it's changed last second with a goober taking the challengers place.

I want one guy to pull out those half glasses like Homer wears. Sit there, read the contract thoroughly and thoughtfully with his finger pressed to his lips. Declare "this seems to be in order".

I want a three-hour RAW that consists solely of an orderly contract signing with lawyers quietly reading paperwork for its duration.
