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. they're to busy fighting people they actually hate to worry about the people they have minor issues with |

On the subject of breaking up pins: I was watching WCW Saturday night years ago. Dean Malenko was in match with...someone. Probably a lower card NWO or Flock member. Anyway, Malenko had the Cloverleaf locked in and his opponent was ready to tap until one of his stablemates ran in and knocked Malenko out with the weakest looking axe handle I've ever seen. Malenko sold it like death and it looked hilarious. Ever since then, I've noticed that wrestlers are basically as weak as referees during pinfall and submission attempts.

How is the Romero Special supposed to hurt? Your arms get bent back yes, but not at an angle that would indicate there's any real pressure on the shoulders. If anything it looks like it should hurt the person doing the move way more.
Also why do wrestlers arrive late for a show? Perfect example is Cena during his recent feud with Orton. Orton attacks his dad and Cena's arrives just as the show ends? If he wanted to attack Orton so bad why wasn't he there early too attack Orton when he arrived? I mean let's think about this. Your job is to be at this show. The show starts at 8pm. Why is it ok that you arrive at 10:55 when the show is almost over? Any other job and your ass is fired!

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? the ref is touching you moving you around and that wakes you up some As someone who has taken jiu-jitsu for over a decade, that is a physical impossibility with any blood or air choke. The referee could play babaloo on your forehead with his palms if he wanted. You go to sleep because the affected area is still cut off. That spot needs to die because it's absurdly unrealistic. You got a good 8 seconds in a fully applied sleeper or choke. By the time a referee checked your hand for the third time slowly, you'd be dead in real life. |

William Regal pretty much explains all of this when he's on NXT. It's amazing how easily an announcer can make you suspend your disbelief,

Why wrestlers wouldn't simply leave an organisation once it became clear that evil authority figures are blatantly biased against them

Wrestling moves outside the ring seem a bit odd because in the ring you've got the natural bounce and the noise of the impacts (through the mic'd up mat) that add to the impact of the move. So outside they seem a little dead. Also for obvious reasons moves will be done a little softer (if possible).
There's a lot of slightly weird things that don't make sense because the reason for them existing has been lost. For example, 'the international' sequence of moves that you see in every match ever (side-headlock, shoot-off, rope run, shoulder block, switch rope run, hop over, rope run, leapfrog, rope run, ending move (hip toss clasically)) the bit when one wrestler hops over the other, the wrestler on the ground turns over just before the other guy steps over him. That is actually an attack, an attempt to trip the other guy. You never see it except as part of that particular sequence, and very few wrestlers do it properly now, so it looks a bit weird.
Why do wrestlers go for moves that never ever work? Sunset Flips and back body drops are big offenders here.

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? They were a bunch of jackasses standing around in a circle backstage. |

How nobody gets arrested for attempted murder/rape/kidnapping, especially during the attitude era. Or how the camera man makes no attempt to stop them. Not even a "Hey you! Stop that!".

The pure convenience that literally every match on a card is a perceived "good guy" vs. a perceived "bad guy".
Cage doors are complete nonsense.
The logistics of a triple threat match is pretty asinine. Any contest with more than 2 guys in a combat sport is pretty insane. Could you imagine a triple threat UFC fight? The amount of guys who would lose their careers to blindside roundhouse kicks to the head would be staggering.

Why did the divas voluntarily compete in lingerie and bikini matches but freak out when they lost in evening gown matches? What's funny about all of this is even some of the ring attire that the divas wear can easily pass as swimwear or underwear. On one hand, I can understand if they freak out because someone stripped them down against their will, but still, the outfits are skimpy enough that they're showing some skin, so I don't get how they act like the audience has never seen them in swimwear or underwear. |

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. why? they plainly announce you go over and have both feet touch the floor to be eliminated I wasn't specific in my first post, my apologies. My issue is with wrestlers that either roll out or are thrown out between the ropes, lay on the floor motionless for 20 minutes while being ignored by the refs and announcers, then sneak in to win (The Miz is just a recent example). This scenario almost always includes the announcers making no mention of the wrestlers whereabouts until there is only 1 man in the ring. Just seems like lazy booking to me. |

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?  read it in his voice |

Why evil authority figures can't simply hand the titles to their preferred champions. It makes sense to me. The evil authority figures are smart enough to know that completely denying the fan favorite any title match or stripping him of the title after winning it is bad for business. It destroys the credibility of the title and the company. But stacking the odds against the fan favorite is acceptable because the title is still won and lost in matches. At the end of the day the record books will say the fan favorite had his chance but came up short. |

That's why I don't mind Cena's 5 moves of doom because at least he's not doing anything too crazy after getting his butt whooped
