Flaws in pro wrestling logic

what about whenever someone pyro goes off outta nowhere like Kane and the announcers always scream OH! like they dont know its coming

How about when a wrestler does a run-in on a match and his pyro goes off? Or when Abyss poses for the pyro when he does a run-in?

When the dastardly heel is beating down the face after the match and the timekeeper keeps ringing the bell. Has the heel ever once gone "You know, he's right. I really should knock this off?"

LOL!!! YES! I was just thinking this last night after watching Diesel/Bulldog and Bret/Patriot title matches! The bell made me picture of a little gay gay flailing his arms and yelling: "Stop it, stop it!"

If a face tag team makes a teg when the ref isnt looking, the ref wont allow it and will make the original wrestler remain in the ring. but if a heel tag tea does it, but claps loudly while doing it, the ref takes theri word for it and allows the tag.

Actually, they did this on Raw, or was it ECW, last week. I don't remember who, but the heels were made to tag, after trying to get away with the "hand slap".

how exactly does forcing an employee to kiss your bare buttocks in front of a large crowd of spectators, on worldwide television, for fear of their job, not infringe workers rights?

BECAUSE I'M VINCENT KENNEDY MCMAHON DAMNIT!

By the way, I do hate the "why not look at the footage?" thing

For example, even though it is not WWE, why didn't Kurt just go back and look at the footage when Karen said that Sting slapped her.

whenever someone cheats to win, cant they just do a replay of the end of the match

Just before Bound For Glory both Angles were in the ring and Karen told Kurt that their plan to claim Sting slapped her wasn't working. I think.

It was when she was vexed about Kurt going after Sting's son.

I find it odd when WWE has backstage segments in a GM's office. You have William Regal or Teddy Long or who have you, in these offices decorated with their stuff (Regal's Union Jacks, Teddy Long's MLK paintings, etc.) and yet... doesn't WWE move from arena to arena to do their shows? Why would GM's have offices in the first place if they're at the arena for not even an entire day?

heel heat: Manager's challenge when nothing happened, just to waste time.

[Mercyful Fate]

It's illogical that a belt doesn't change hands on a disqualification or a count-out. I would think that a loss is a loss, you know? This rule is obviously in place just to create heel-heat and extend fueds.

I have another problem with disqualifications. Pretend that Triple H is getting his ass handed to him by Randy Orton and Umaga in a handicap match. Without warning, Shawn Michaels runs in and attacks Orton, which results in the disqualification of Triple H, and HHH loses the match. Now, if Michaels ran in simply because he hates Orton, and it had nothing to do with a plot between Triple H and Michaels, does Triple H really deserve to be disqualified and lose the match? Why is Triple H responsible for Shawn Michaels' actions? The match should end in a no contest, and a rematch should be scheduled for a later date.

I mean, if I was a wrestler, and I knew that anyone could run in on one of my matches at any time, then I'd constantly worry about some fool wrestler randomly running out from the back and costing me my match. It's an ass-backwards rule that solely exists to create drama.

It really bothers me that people hold "secret" meetings with each other backstage, oblivious to the cameraman and boom operator capturing their every moment on tape.

They need a wrestler with the gimmick of being a "smark", and secretly watching monitors backstage, recording all the info and scandal. Since none of the other WWE on-air talent realizes that all conversations are being aired over the monitors, this benefits the "smark" greatly, even to the point of eventually usurping Vinnie Mac (which would get him off TV for a while.)

I'm a little burnt, ignore my inane ramblings.

I figured, the office is in back of a semi, and is moved out into a utlity room in each town


that or theres simply an office waiting for them complements of the arena owners.

Why is there ALWAYS complete ciaos in Jim Cornette's TNA office? You'd think a guy running a company would need some privacy when making all these really difficult decisions that could change the entire industry. Instead he's got both sides of the argument in his office, along with the dumbass announcer who seems personally upset about the situation to the point he walked out on his job of announcing, plus three other guys bitching about something completely off subject. I swear, I hate watching Impact, but I just can't turn away from it, and everytime Cornette's office is shown, I ask myself "what mayhem is going to occur now?"

Wrestlers lowering their heads for a backdrop....and getting kicked in the shoulder.

When Orton wanted to wrestle Dusty at the GAB and Dusty said no, Orton kept baiting him until he said yes. But I wish this would happen just for once

Orton : Dusty, I want you in a one on one match at the GAB.

Dusty : No, You know I'm retired and in no shape to wrestle

Orton : Oh, Ok. Just thought I ask.

Then Orton leaves and the promo and subject is brought back up again.

[HRH The KING]

The fact that big fat guys in battle royals never just sit down in the corner so they cannot possibly be moved.

[primetime110]

If your wrestling HHH, Make sure you come out first and take the sledgehammer and hide it or put it in your corner. Is in the same place EVERYTIME.

If your wrestling Jeff Jarrett, As soon as Jarrett gets in the ring and the match begins, Run to Jarretts guiter and smash it over something. Now you have a even playing field.

If your in the ring, And the guy your feuding with music starts playing and hasn't come from back stage in 30 seconds, LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In street fights, When they say (come as you are), Why is it the wrestlers always wear blue jeans. Does every wrestler wear blue jeans to the arena. And why can't you wear your wrestling gear in a street fight?

[HRH The KING]

This thread reminds me of Jamie Kennedy's speech in "Scream"

There are certain RULES you have to follow to successfully survive a wrestling promotion!!!!

Not really a logic thing so much:
I love when someone botches a hurricanrana(usually from the top rope is when it happens) and they whif it and the guy sells a phantom move.
