I wish they would've gone with a happy medium between maintaining the creative handcuffing of the ranking system and what they have now. Even with the rankings for a while FTR were #1 for like an entire year... but everyone else kept getting a title match before them...

Referees being indulging and downright stupid. It never ceases to amase me what they put up with and fall for.

I think a lot of the things mentioned are fine, but something I do sometimes find tedious is, "Fresh new act comes in, gets big matches against big names, loses time and time again clean as a sheet, but each time we're supposed to pretend they have a chance against Jericho or what have you."
I understand that the purpose of these matches is to get audiences to want to see them score their first big win, and to show that seniority does amount to something (the opposite can be a problem, too, like Natalya in WWE often having long periods of being a pushover coasting on past accomplishments.) I also get this is to not risk giving them too much, too early, especially if you don't know if they'll flake on you like Lio Rush or the like did. But, we see it from so many people, and while I am sure Komander and the like will be fine, when we don't have DARK or Elevation anymore, these people have no real way to make their W/L not look increasingly embarrassing.
JAS feuds are currently not an issue, really, but Jericho really needs to find some 8 week long stories and stop insisting on 6 month long odysseys all the goddamn time. Not every story is going to have that kind of meat on it.
