Your wrestling pet peeves

Oh, it's you. Of course you have a nerdier-than-thou disagreement.



"Vampiro has gone off-headset, showing concern... and that's a man that's seen EVERYTHING"

The way they sold the No Mas match this week.

Someone really said LU has awful commentary?

Then again it's Messiah so I'm not surprised.

After "any Attitude era match that didn't have Austin, D'Lo or X-Pac in it sucked", I'm at everything he posts

@stro is Messiah?

Explains alot.

No shock factor ( Santino and Ambrose should have Royal Rumble wins under their belts)
Same nikkas with the HW strap or in the title match.
Keep JBL but get MiCole and Tom DuBuois off of commentary

Tino Brown should have a RR and Elimination Chamber win under his belt if crowd reaction was any indication.

1) Awful/aimless commentary during matches. Good commentary can make a bad match good, and a good match great. Bad commentary can match a good-great match a chore to sit through.
2) Multiple high spots with little selling.
3) The champion coming out first.
4) Entrance themes leading to run-ins. This didn't always happen, but I'd say since 2009, this is the norm. Even when a person is simply standing at the top of the entrance for a distraction, they'll play the theme music
5) Massive amount of chair shots/weapons/blood when it's not needed. Along with this, blood pouring in the opening minutes in a match. That's why I can't watch too many CZW matches. Builds make it more effective.
6) Gimmicks with potential getting killed out of nowhere with no rhyme or reason. The first thing that pops in my head is Michael Tarver in a suit backstage just lurking. I was actually interested in what it would lead to....then POOF, gone. (that may be an outlier since head got into some verbal altercation with Cena and that led to his dismissal).

I mean...I said for me personally, not that it sucks for everyone else. And I explained exactly why I felt that way (Striker's frequent name drops actively fighting against the world building everything else on the show does) without calling someone a dipshyt for liking it. I'm not trying to convince anyone not to like it.

Frequent face/heel turns.

 

[Insun Park]

When two wrestlers feud, the feud ends, the baby face turns heel or vice versa and down the line they have the formal rivals teaming up like nothing happened

They did this with Edge and Cena
They did this with Punk and Orton
I remember when Matt Hardy hit his brother with a steel chair and helped Edge retain the strap

Drives me nuts

Drives me nuts

Even worse is when two wrestlers feud, then swap face/heel alignments, and rehash the exact same feud. Basically what they're doing with Cesaro and Miz:

They feuded over the US title (Cesaro the heel champ, Miz the face contender), and Miz was all, "You don't care about the people and I want to be champion for them!"

Three years later, they're feuding over the IC title (Miz the heel champ, Cesaro the face contender) and Cesaro is all, "You don't care about the people and I want to be champion for them!"

You shouldn't be able to kick out of this.



And yet he does

It's like they don't get tired nowadays. I mean yeah they're sweating bullets but they're not exhausted. They don't slow down the pace at all.

Austin mentioned this about Bret, how he used to always have that sorta tired breathing heavy look to sell the fatigue of the match, even though in reality he probably wasn't tired at all

those little details

 

[dbp]

Most of mine have been mentioned, but the big ones to me are:

- camera work. Cannot fukking stand their shakey action zoom camera bullshyt. Really surprised more people don't complain about this
- kicking out of finishers 280 times at big events. Have the drama be based on hitting the finisher or not, but don't devalue their impact. Makes no sense anyway, not like UFC fighters can suddenly take 18 flush head kicks just cause it's a major event
- announce team
- nothing organic. Rock getting in trouble for going off script recently was just
- WWE blatantly telling us that attitude era was the GOAT and that their 50 year old inactive legends can whoop any of the modern day guys in a heartbeat

They live in Norco ? That town is small as fukk
