Yeah, Reigns never really seemed to care that Seth broke up the Shield? 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. I kinda took it as "Dean's got him, I'll go after the head" type logic, along with the "He's still my brother, lost as he is right now" kind of thing.

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. 2008. Made me mad then, still does

Pretty sure that Ric Flair bought Shane and Stephanie's WWE Stock, so they could buy WCW and ECW. He didn't buy those companies after the fact.

How is this for a plothiole, throughout the fall and winter of 1990/91 Randy "Macho Man" Savage constantly asks Ultimate Warrior for a title shot, with Warrior refusing, however they had matches during that period FOR the title on house shows.
Now, if you want to be strictly kayfabe that house shows don't count for WWF canon that's fine, however they did event center promos promoting that match and there's videos on youtube where they did promos on each other in regards to their upcoming bout(s). Ultimate Warrior vs. Randy Savage was scheduled on 1/21/1991 inside a steele cage at an MSG show and it was initially for the title, yet Savage pimps out Sherri to Warrior to get a title shot two days earlier at The Royal Rumble(Warrior refuses).
So later in the night, Savage costs Warrior the championship in retaliation EVEN THOUGH HE HAS A TITLE SHOT SCHEDULED LATER THAT WEEK. The match still happened and Savage won(with Sherri's help), yet if he didn't interfere to Warrior's match against Sgt. Slaughter, he could've been the champion. So basically Savage cost himself his own opportunity at becoming champion.

I forget if he got Linda's from her being sent to the sanitarium or what, assuming they even bothered to say. Also, to this day, I find it really funny that Steph had to sell all of her stock to buy ECW, given its infamously severe issues by then. Guess maybe she assumed their debts, too.

They seriously just yadda yadda'd over where Shane and Stephanie got their money from. I guess, they had trust funds? Or stock? Or something? Who knows, because they never even attempted to explain how they had cash and influence over something Vince 100% owned.

Does this count as a plothole? Ever since the beginning of battle royals everybody ganged up on the biggest guy there is to eliminate him first, let with the battle royal The Great Khali won to become World Heavyweight Champion, nobody attempted to do that and there were alot of big strong guys that could've done that(Kane, Batista, Mark Henry). Maybe if they resorted to that in the beginning on the match, they would've avoided that issue.

Jan. 27, 1997 - Eric Bischoff fires referee Randy Anderson on Nitro for making a call against The Outsiders.
Mar. 3, 1997 - Harvey Schiller "suspends" Bischoff.
Mar. 10, 1997 - Anderson returns to TV and officiates numerous matches throughout the rest of 1997 as well as in 1998.
Jan. 4, 1999 - Ric Flair, as the new on-air WCW President, brings Anderson to the ring, plays the two-year-old clip of Anderson's firing, and says Anderson is rehired at "double the salary."

To be fair, rehiring guys who already work there is a very WCW thing to do. Jericho had a “tryout” match after he’d already been hired. Then a year later had to have another match “so the boss can see what you can do”

How's this for a plothole? Virgil breaks free from Ted Dibiase at the 1991 Royal Rumble and then feuds with him only to be working for his son Ted Jr. for a brief time in 2010. Was it ever explained why he would do that. Was he so hard up for cash that he would reduce himself to working for a guy who's father abused and humiliated him all those years?

Shoutouts to Daniel Bryan getting a title shot at Mania after getting clapped by Bray Wyatt at Rumble 2014. Rigged.

Apparently the original plan for Bundy was for him to win The 95 Royal Rumble and challenge Diesel. Oof. That would have been awful. This was around the time when WWF was showing those vignettes regarding the New Generation, mocking Hogan, Iron Sheik, Andre and Putski as "old", while routinely showcasing Backlund, Volkoff, DiBiase, Lawler, IRS and Bundy. And while I like King Kong Bundy, man was his 90's run terrible. I know a lot of people think the Gonzalez match was the worst WrestleMania match that Undertaker had, but I'd actually argue the Bundy match was worse. If the Kliq had any pull in preventing a Bundy/Diesel main event, then I think we all owe them a debt of gratitude.

It being Virgil, we already knew he'd do anything for money.

Triple H gets dropped in a car by a forklift about 20 feet up in the air, he wrestles the very next week. Six months later, he trips and tears his quad out, he's out of action for 8 months.
