I'm Tired of the Announce Table Spot

[thegame415]

It happens so often that it's not as impactful. For example, when Diesel did t to Bret at Survivor Series 1995, it was like a holy crap, how could Bret rebound. We've seen it so often now, we know they'll be back the next show.

I get that it's used because the spot can still get a reaction, but is anyone else sick of it? Has it just become a common spot, or do you agree it should be used sparingly, if at all?

The barricade spot has become more used and im tired of seeing that.
I never minded the table spot too much.

What annoyed me the most was how Orton recovered from it so quickly. We shouldn't have seen him the rest of the night so he could have sold the impactfulness of the chokeslam.

It's used less than it was. I remember in the Attitude days I'd feel let down as a fan if someone didn't go through one of those tables.

These days it's used more sparingly. I agree that the barricade spot has been overused. They're both among the few 'hardcore' things they can still do, though.

I don't mind it nearly as much as I mind the "what is he going to try to do here?!" commentary that accompanies it.

Yeah, there was a string of weeks where it seemed like they broke the barricade every show...

It is just as annoying as those damn kendo sticks!

Can we please be original with our weapons please? There is so much they can use!

I have a wrestling game where you can use a brick during hardcore matches. Now that would be awesome!

Is this sarcasm? Because he was shown nursing his arm and having it worked on by their doctor the entire rest of the night.

In this instance though I really liked the visuals of Show on the steps, it really seemed like a fresh way of presenting the spot. I know that there's been grumblings about Big Show being shoe horned into this angle, but I'm really enjoying it. This is the most I've enjoyed him in years. I really appreciate how they're mixing it up. I loved the chaos last night. It's starting to get that "anything can happen on RAW, bah Gawd" feeling.

[Boo!]

I'd like it better if the table wasn't so obviously a stunt table. It ruins it for me. I know for safety/logistical reasons it must be but it looks so obviously like a prop it takes away 99% of the impact of the move.

You're tired of it?

How do you think the table feels!

They should have a match on the table and then put someone through the ring instead.

Can never get tired of announce table spots...ever. It will never happen with me.

Even when it was used so much during the Attitude Era, even then I still loved it.

[Razor Gives It A 4/10]

The English announce table aint no Spanish announce table, that's for sure!

[The Beast Disincarnate]

You know what? I'm tired of the irish whip, that move is so overused!

[Hit Girl]

That table is devestating. Apparently getting dropped onto a crumbling table that looks like cardboard is way more devestating than say being slammed onto a hard ring mat, or dropped on the scantily protected concrete floor, or merely falling out of the ring.

[Tony Schiavontay]

The announce table is hogging a spot and never puts anyone over.
