Pro Wrestling annoyances?

[JEBJJA]

I hate how Zack Ryder is XXXX on. No credit for all the social media and won't acknowledge all his twitters followers. Also hate how they STILL try and use "The" Great Khali. The guy can't even walk. Another thing I hate that they push guys down your throat and do the same matches 1000 times. How many Orton/Shemus...Big Show/Kane....Orton/Cena matches are we gonna see? Same crap. Bathroom break matches.

 

[Super Mario]

THE Brian Kendrick ?

Okay, let me rephrase. There are no more good THE anymore.

He is XXXXing awful.

Wow, the part with "the same matches" and Orton cena was EXACTLY what I was about to write in this thread.

That Hardcore belt with falls count anywhere anytime was FANTASTIC television

Seeing people accidentally win the belt by getting in the way was hilarious. Somehow the Hardcore title went from just falls count anywhere "with plunder" to basically the Hardcore Champ vs The World. The could just do a running gag of hardcore title changes (backstage, on the street, in hotels, at restaurants, etc) for a month and I'd be entertained.

I don't mind WWE guys being called "Superstars" as once they sign on with the company, they are no longer "wrestling" anymore.

Constant punching in matches annoys me.

Lack of actual wrestling annoys me. Matches that are nothing but running spots and punching are boring as hell. The biggest dissapointments on that count are Brock Lesner and Kurt Angle. Two world class WRESTLERS who spent more time punching and kicking (and doing moonsaults and SSP, WTF?) than locking up with anyone. Now I don't want to go back to the days of 30 minute headlocks or the spinning toehold being a finisher, but come one can we at least get back to something that requires more wrestling skill and less stunt work? Just one Regal vs Bryan type match a week, is that asking too much?

Had to watch a little bit of hardcore falls count anywhere matches.

XXXXing hilarious!

Ok back on topic.

This bothers me when surfing YouTube looking for highlights.

You click on a video which showcases an image from the video you're looking for only to get 10 mins of some guy giving opinions on the match.

In the same vein, YouTube match or event reviews of fairly historic or significant events by people who know none of the surrounding context gets really annoying.

And Michael Cole. Michael Cole almost makes me miss Kris Kloss from XPW. Michael Cole on his best day is worse than Tony Schiavone on his worst day. Where is Sean Mooney when you need him?

 

[HPC]

I liked Tony Schiavone

I mean, not more than JR but definitely more than King.

constantly referring to ambrose as eccentric, and rollins as the architect

Yeah, all that Lunatic Fringe stuff is annoying. I agree.

I think they're just planting seeds for their singles career.


Rick Achberger, the WWE Sign Guy, who's on my Facebook by the way, had a sign a few weeks ago that said "Architect? Seth Rollins couldn't build a sandcastle."

He's the dude that's at every show on the floor with a red backward hat and blue work shirt.

Most of my annoyance is with the announcers

 

[ballerskrip]

Lack of creativity in moves. How many guys are going to use the spear as the finishing move? AND the commentators go CRAZY each time there is a spear. It is a mother freaking tackle, big god damn deal. I absolutely love it when I see a guy come up with something brand new. Similar topic, why do the "A" wrestlers use the same 5-6 moves every match? Why in hell can't they expand their mix of moves? I started (for me) with Hulk Hogan and has been the same stupid crap with most of the A-list stars now-adays. Every freaking match is the same over and over and over and over.

 

[BBCgalaxee]

How about basic moves as finishers?

Like the angle slam, cena's finisher and f5

The sad thing is, if you watch some of Hogans matches from Japan, he actually used a more extensive move set. Even when he was with the WWF and wrestled there. He just didn't in the USA.

Another thing I was thinking about.

This Christian vs Sheamus fued is annoying.

I miss the days where the two guys feuding would NEVER wrestle each other in a singles match until it was time for the feud to come to a head. They might wrestle each other in tag matches leading up to it, but never singles.

This back and fourth with Sheamus and Christian has been retarded.


Wonder why Christian was pulled from his Main Event match? He wasn't on RAW either.

 

[HPC]

I read that Christian did actually suffer a minor concussion and they were keeping him out of action.

Or, creative has nothing for him and just decided to pull the plug.

I also read his contract is coming up and that many dont expect him to stay with WWE after it ends

If that's the case then why have him win the shot at the IC title?


But then again, this is the same creative crew that turned Miz heel against Kofi before Christmas and then ignored it because they totally forgot about his Christmas movie coming out that week.

If he wins the IC, and has no plans to stay when his contract runs out, they have just put Christian over and made Big E look weak.

You know how WWE never* puts guys over who are on the way out

(Unless you're a huge star who they want to get back.)

Haven't watch wrestling in a long time. Does anybody use a Back Breaker/The Claw combo as a finishing move anymore? Vintage Baron Von Raschke at about 4:40.

Don't think so.. Not sure but I think the last time I saw that was Kurrgan in the WWF in the late 90s

If that name doesn't ring a bell (no pun intended), he debuted with the Truth Commission and later moved on to The Oddities with ICP and some other "freaks".. Never was really popular now he acts and plays roles of ugly monsters haha he was in 300
