Anyone else getting sick and tired of them? We get like a dozen of them per week.
I would like to see more alternatives like the show up, mist, leave thing Malachi Black has got going.

It's lazy and repetitive. It reminds me of the old WWE career modes in the games where you'd see the same angle constantly.
I think that's why stuff like MJF and Punk sticks out so well. They're able to build heat with their words and their characters.

There’s been some fighting, but not a true “guy stands tall over their enemy” bit.

I think there I'd a time and place for it. I know a lot of people get tired of The Elite beat downs but I do think that made the Lucha Bros win at All Out that much better. Now had Trent not returned last night? I would have said the Super Kliq beat down took too long.
I do think last night more than normal was more angle heavy and had a little too many confrontations like that

But it still gotten old because its been the same formula for all there feuds since the Buck went heel.

They also over-used the someone has a microphone put in front of them about to speak but is immediately cut off before they can get a word out thing last night. It happened 3 times within like 15 minutes with Ruby, Sammy and the Varsity Blondes.
I remember a while back Jericho said they were going to start getting better about not doing stuff like after they had back to back identical segments with like heel group trying to recruit babyface and each feud was too busy writing their own stuff without stopping to think about the formatting of the show and if someone else was going to be doing the same thing in such close proximity.

Last week had the guest commentator confronting/being confronted by another person happening across four different segments.

Doesn't bother me as they vary it up enough, but it definitely is a trope they like doing. I'll take it over the several WWE like doing tbh

I can live with most of them, except the ones involving the Young Bucks, I am just tired of their antics though since its the same old for them and usually ruins the match itself

Better than an attack during the match, ending in DQ like WWE does every week.

Honestly I think it boils down to time management.
They don't do a lot of Squash matches/DQ finishes so their average match length is so long that then they have to try cram in story line development in this convoluted ways

Doesn't bother me because they've consistently been doing it since 2019. It's how they set up a lot of angles without things like cuck storylines, golden eggs, or swords. Its part of their formula, and they'll be doing the same amount of beatdowns in 2024, 2025 to advance storylines. Reminds me or Mid-Atlantic, with the Four Horsemen, The Russians, Paul Jones Army, the Midnight Express jumping babyfaces every week. Much prefer that. I got into wrestling seeing Kevin Sullivan interfere in every Gordon Solie interview to set up feuds in Florida, so this feels like professional wrestling to me.

I was over the Bucks/Cole one last night before it started. They just make the other people look a little TOO bad. In my humble opinion.
To me, it looks dumb for Chuck and Rocky to be smiling Trent after they just got their asses beat. Orange sold it well. I just feel like the Bucks could’ve lost, then do the beat down. I know they’ve been getting beaten down lately, but their schtick is wearing on me.

The Cole and bucks beat down last night had an air of “..we’ve been through this..”. The Brandon bit, all of it feels moot by now.

Yeah the one with the Young Bucks and Cole was annoying to me. The stupid kiss spot especially. Just beat 'em down and leave.

There were five matches on Dynamite this week, and four of them had a post-match beatdown by the heel, so it is something they could dial back on for a bit.
