It's pretty much what the title says this is a place to post things you've never gotten and possibly get some kind of a new perspective on it.
Why is it that in any wrestling company I've seen they always have it so that whenever faces feud it's always a "Let's see who the better man is" type feud? I've never bought the whole idea of they're Good guys so they can't really have any serious issue with the other. Believe me many times I've encountered people who I've had serious problems with that I'm pretty sure are actually half decent people.

The good guy locker room 2. The bad guy locker room All the good guys are friends. All the bad guys are friends. To get into the bad guy locker room, all you have to do is attack a good guy. To get into the good guy locker room, all you have to do is save a good guy or get beat up by another bad guy. What's not to get? Seems so straightforward.

I've never understood the science behind the slingshot move into the turnbuckle.

I remember being like 7 and my brother put me in the Boston crab. It felt good. Like a good stretch. I remember pondering this fact for a year or two wondering what secret wrestling technique we missed that made it hurt other wrestlers so much.

The catapult and my biggest peeve, wrestlers who fall out to the floor during a Royal Rumble/Battle Royal, then are able to get back in the ring at any time without penalty. You fall to the floor you're gone.

The Irish Whip is an odd one. Can't someone just stop themselves at the ropes instead of turning and bouncing off them?? Is it an attempt by a wrestler to counter their opponent's attack (which I have seen, i.e. Triple H's knee buster)?
Also, breaking up pinfalls. The referee seems to stop the count as soon as another wrestler makes contact with the one trying to score the win but the wrestler could still be covering their opponent. Does any contact break a pin attempt up or does a wrestler have to be physically removed from the pinned opponent?
Does anyone have a suggestion? Maybe I should tweet this to WWE? I would say to give the poor lad who has to deal with the social media a mental meltdown, but I think Alberto may have done enough damage this week :\

Why is it that if I were to attack you in a parking lot with a tire iron, I would get arrested and face assault charges, but if a wrestler attacks another wrestler in a parking lot with a tire iron, he just has to face him in a gimmick match at the next pay-per-view?
Why does the cameraman never warn wrestlers when they're about to get jumped, or help wrestlers after they've been left in a bloody and bruised heap on the ground, or snitch on the heels who just discussed their dastardly plan right in front of him? And for that matter, why do heels discuss their dastardly plans on camera?

Vince: Hmmm, Raw's just started and we don't have a main event. Whatever will I present to the thousands of fans in attendance and the millions watching at home?
(Two superstars proceed to scuffle in the ring or insult each other.)
Vince: That's it! I'll have those two guys hammer out their differences in the ring! They wouldn't possibly be scheduled to do anything else, certainly not wrestle anyone else tonight! They just show up and see if they have a match, just like the rest of the Superstars! Oh McMahon, you are a genius, aren't you?

Why did the divas voluntarily compete in lingerie and bikini matches but freak out when they lost in evening gown matches?

The classic spot where a guy has his arm raised three times in a sleeper really makes no sense to me. Just for safety, if a guy has no ability to raise his hand even once...you should probably stop the match. But just for logical purposes, how could any guy not do it on the first attempt and be able to do it on the third attempt? You were out cold like ten seconds ago and the move has been applied since and presumably drained even more energy. How the hell are you reviving yourself?

You're about to fight the guy who's been talking shit about you/screwed you out of the title/f***ed your significant other/etc. Why the f*** are you dancing around and posing for your pyro to go off? You couldn't go to the guy and say "Hey man, not tonight. This is a pretty serious match for all my usual stuff"?

What makes Roman Reigns a powerhouse compared to Dean ? When they're both roughly the same size hell Dean is even taller. Why do wrestling moves look awkward outside the ring? The Overdrive I'm fine with the camel clutch tbh only because I lost a fist fight where I got put to sleep during a camel clutch

Does any contact break a pin attempt up or does a wrestler have to be physically removed from the pinned opponent? They've gotten lazy with the "breaking up a pinfall" sequence. It used to be a wrestler would knock or push his opponent off of the interfering wrestler's tag partner so one of his shoulders would no longer be flat on the mat. Now, all you have to do is enter the ring and the ref stops the count. My pet peeve are rest holds. I can follow the sit-down headlock if the opponent is trying to escape the hold. But, he's just sitting there. The guy applying the headlock doesn't even give the impression he's trying to put the guy out/wear him down. They just...sit there, wasting time. How scaffold matches can last longer than 20 seconds is beyond me, especially if it is against an opponent or team I hated. Either I would rush across the scaffold and shove him off or I would fall off myself in the attempt. I'm not going to stand there exchanging punches with him. Security when there is a big schmozz between two guys. I realize now (as opposed to way back when) that the agents are former wrestlers, but to me, it just looked like a bunch of small, older guys in suits and a bunch of referees. Yeah, that's who I want protecting me from Brock Lesnar - 10 guys who look like they're in town for the sales convention down the street.

Yes, it used to be a big old ax handle smash to the back or a boot to the head that broke a pin attempt, now its like a slap on the back like a game of touch rugby!

The catapult and my biggest peeve, wrestlers who fall out to the floor during a Royal Rumble/Battle Royal, then are able to get back in the ring at any time without penalty. You fall to the floor you're gone. Or what about the rule that "both feet must touch the floor"... so Kofi Kingston gets thrown completely clear of the ring, but he has one foot on the ring steps, so he gets to come back in. Or John Morrison gets knocked clear of the ring, but he jumps and lands on the barricade.... OMG WHAT A MANEUVER!! HE'S STILL IN THIS!! LET'S REPLAY IT FROM TWELVE ANGLES!! What about when a gang of heels start destroying one of the babyfaces in the ring. The crowd is booing. The timekeeper is hitting the bell a few thousand times... yet no one comes to the rescue. Then, after about 3 minutes, a bunch of jobbers come sprinting down the aisle to make the save, who promptly get beat up and thrown out of the ring. The destruction continues on the babyface for another minute or so... then finally out of the locker room comes a group of his friends to clear the ring! Victory! So what were those guys doing backstage that whole time their buddy was getting killed, and why did they all run out at once?

In a tag match if the partner breaks up the pin shouldn't that be an automatic DQ?
