After 11 pages, can't believe nobody mentioned the champion must defend his/her title within the first 30 days of their reign rule. Sometimes they put it in effect for storyline reasons, other times it's not brought up at all, such as when Trish Stratus and CM Punk were injured and then returned while champion, or when Dean Ambrose defended the his US championship so infrequently, they even made jokes about it!

Just watching Kurrgan's first singles match(against Flash Funk), the first thing The Jackyl said on commentary that he was no longer a corporate sideshow freak. Six months later He(The Jackyl) formed a parade of human oddities along with Kurrgan as his main guy.

Here's another one. On RAW Homecoming in 2005, Triple H beat the living daylights out of Ric Flair for an uncomfortably long time, and no one was there to save him despite the fact that many said they looked up to him as an inspiration growing up. The next week, when Triple H arrives in the building, they're all giving him(Triple H) dirty looks. Why didn't anybody come out to help him(Flair), they clearly had the chance.

I'm guessing Flair owed everyone money.

I'm guessing Flair owed everyone money. I think Ric has either married and/or owes money to about 30% of the population.

Then explain how after the match, when Vader vaderbombs him, he got right up? The bell ringing acts as a reset button, since it was AFTER the match. So it works like this: -Match goes on, Hogan has stored Hulk Up -Savage uses elbow finisher to premature activate Hulk Up -Match ends with whatever result. The bell triggers the Hulk Up Reset -Vader uses Vaderbomb, activating another Hulk Up. So, how did the Hulk up reset between Hogan Hulking up on Vader and Hogan's next match? Does he have a reset-bell at home he can ring?

Then explain how after the match, when Vader vaderbombs him, he got right up? He didn't get up right after, he had convulsions on the mat for about 10 seconds. The feud was actually fairly evenly matched with Hogan only getting one legit win over Vader. And no one ever mentions Vader no selling the leg drop. I wouldn't mind people dropping to the middle rope head first for Mysterio's 619, but it seemed to only happen for him. Same thing with Rikishi's Stinkface, Scotty's Worm, and probably a few others I'm probably missing. Not so much a plot hole, but I hate when there are pull apart brawls with a bunch of undercard guys who have nothing to gain from getting involved, same thing when guys get excited for a draft pick...heck even WRESTLING to gain another person to your brand. Kofi for years was the guy who was in this position, I think he even helped Cena in a beatdown like a handful of times, yet Cena didn't return the favor.

Wasn't there a Royal Rumble where Michael Cole, Tazz, and The Coach were commentating and Cole asked Tazz tips on how to survive in the match? This is despite the fact Coach has been in two Royal Rumble lasting an accumulative 14 mintues(the second one he lasted 30 seconds though), while Tazz lasted in one Rumble for 10 seconds? I think Coach would be more qualified to answer.

Wrestling rightfully gets mocked for being badly written, wrestling generally is filled with plot-holes. Like, the recent Reigns v Rollins involved Reigns talking about him never forgiving Seth. OK, does he not remember the reunion deal? Michaels was beaten half to death by Hunter and then there was a DX reunion. Kane lit a man on fire and buried another alive to then later in a few years become his fan favorite tag team partner.
Wrestling needs to better explain and come up with better stories for instances where 2 people become sworn enemies then best friends then sworn enemies again then close friends again then sworn enemies again, ...
And the fans! The fans are the biggest plot-hole of the show. The fans need to remember that most of these "heroes" are fake pretending a-hole wrestlers who have sh*t on us and have blamed us for becoming evil. No! Im not gonna forget that all these so called heroes (except for Riddle Rey and Ricochet) have in the past at some point blamed me and mocked me, without ever apologizing and explaining why they were evil for that certain period.
Or may be fans, bookers, wrestlers, we all concussed and have bad memories.

The Reigns thing is especially silly in that Roman never held Seth as personally culpable as he did the Authority, anyway, focusing almost entirely on the latter, Triple H especially, while Ambrose went after Seth. They just arbitrarily changed their mind on it for no real reason.

Dean took it as a personal affront and basically hounded him for years... Roman just kinda... didn't? I wouldn't be surprised if that was another of the numerous reasons why Dean was getting better reactions than Roman that year.

I get the idea of Roman being more interested in revenge on the one who put Seth up to it, but that's something they could have done more to establish, rather than just have Roman and Dean seemed disinterested in helping the other pursue revenge on their respective targets.

During the whole original Triple Threat vs. New Triple Threat story, did they acknowledge that Shane was the one who brought Fonzie to ECW?

Here's another one. At King of The Ring 98, Mick Foley was thrown off AND through the cell by The Undertaker, and he's able to continue the match. At Wrestlemania XV, he's chokeslammed between two chairs by The Big Show, and the commentators are worried he might not be able to referee the Austin/Rock title match since he was hurt so badly. He eventually did, but still.

Plus one of those commentators was Michael Cole who was worried about the MESH cage and someone getting a finger caught in there. Even as a 15 year old I remember him saying MESH over and over again. I feel like this was probably Cole's first ever PPV commentary. He probably didn't even watch the first two Hell in a Cell matches or really any Foley match.

Finlay getting DQ'ed from the 2008 Rumble still annoys me.
Also Benoit was due to sign the Contract to make his match with Triple H at Wrestlemania 20 official, but HBK who was not meant to be in the match superkicks Benoit and signs the contract himself.. Oh looks like he is in the match now.
That's like some world class footballer like Lionel Messi about to sign a record transfer deal only for a none league team player to attack him from behind and sign the contract himself with no questions asked.
If only it were that simple.

If only it were that simple. In regards to Finlay getting DQed before he was suppose to come out, he wasn't the first person to do that. Rick Rude has 18 years earlier and was allowed to compete. Al Snow also did that in 2001, but didn't enter the ring until the clock hit to 0. Maybe the committee who books that match decided to make a rule out of it that you can't enter until your number is called. The Royal Rumble is just full of plotholes. As far as superkicking Benoit and then signing the contract to insert himself in that match goes, wasn't it suppose to be official when Benoit challenged Triple H at Wrestlemania XX, why do they need to sign a contract to make it official? Also, if we go down the contract route only, then Benoit shouldn't have been in the match then since he never signed anything. God is this making my head spin.
