He LITERALLY read off the script when Shane was in front of him. That's all on him.



Vince micromanages and rewrites scripts to shows as they're airing.

Having to read from a script is just a consequence of that.

dudes in their wrestling gear way before their match or even when they dont have a match. randy orton was always guilty of this. it'd be 8:00pm and he aint wrestling until 10:58 and he's already oiled up in his underwear or just wearing a hoe ass Viper shirt in his underwear.

put some pants on, b. i enjoy how the divas of all people are allowed to come out in regular clothes now. they need to put the guys in clothes now and not just some weak ass tear away suits lol

Orton and Sheamus will be in their drawls even if they aren't wrestling on the show.

A lot of things that are "pet peeves" to many wrestling fans don't bother me that much or even at all:

Calling spots
Blood capsules
Minor botches (like a mistimed move)
Wrestlers forgetting or flubbing a line during a promo
Announcers reading from a script

With so many moving parts in wrestling, all these things are kind of inevitable. :yeshrug:

Remember every week when Batista would come out in a suit?

Nowadays they'll have him in trunks and in his WWEShop shirt :pachaha:

That kinda goes back to my point about Authority Figures *kayfabe* booking on the fly. If they did like other promotions like ROH and have the matches set before the show then there wouldn't be any need for that.

yeah its honestly weird now seeing Bullet Club on tv in regular ass v necks. I think its actually dope to see someone not coming out with their For Sale gear on for once.

The PG Era is what Vince always wanted. He only did the Attitude Era to keep up with the TV climate at the time. Besides with how sensitive everyone is and how easily people get outraged, the re-emergence of the Attitude Era would be a PR disaster.

Well, two personal WWE feuds that were done right in the PG Era had mature themes in it without crossing any lines. That was HHH/Orton (match sucked) and Punk/Cena.

big show and his endless heel turns
tables dont feel as devastating as they used to be.
lack of continuity
50/50 booking
when an announcer says "THIS HAS GOTTA BE IT" OR "ITS OVER" BEFORE the pinfall only to kick out at 2
i really hate blood feud matches that dont start with them fukking eachother up but headlocks and holds
when a wrestler is in a big ppv match and they get fukked up. but dont sell anything the next night.
Demon Kane And Corporate Kane
Kane Losing The Mask In The First place
too many cooks in the kitchen
Commercials During Matches


I hate it when during a match somebody walks down the ramp in a attempt to distract one of the wrestlers in the ring. They hit his music. The person he is attempting to distract always falls for it.

He turns his back on his opponet and stares at the guy walking slowly down the ramp. The wrestler in the ring does a small package or his finisher and steals the win.:stopitslime:
fukk THAT shyt or if they get on the mic and distract them.. its tedious.

Opponents falling into position to set up the other guys move. Take the 619 for example, they always find a way to magically fall in between the ropes. that shyt never happens in any other match.

nikkas being able kickout of chair shots and shyt in hardcore matches but being down for the count in regular matches.

Just saying fukk a storyline and doing shyt. Like that time nexus helped kane bury undertaker with no explanation, or how the board of directors voted vince out and he inexplicably got his shyt back.

The hornswoggles, big dikk johnsons, santinos (although he was like the best part of the show in 09) of the world.

NO-SELLING

These guys are so creative out there and pull out all these great looking moves and they have absolutely no impact. The other night on PPV Ryback gorilla pressed Kalisto off the fukkin top rope - which looked great and the crowd popped big for it - only to have Kalisto get up IMMEDIATELY and lead into the finish.
You shouldn't be able to kick out of this.



And yet he does :francis:

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.

When the announcers say that this is it or he's about to win..two count everytime :martin: basically lets you know it's not about to be over so it kills the surprise factor

Happens way too much.

THE STREAK IS OVER! THE STREAK IS OVER!!! MICHAELS HAS DONE IT!!!! :gladbron:

*Undertaker kicks out at two*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! :damn:

How ever Rock segment is the same since he came back.

A typical Rock segement goes like this:

entrance
pause for chants
finally
pause for chants
millions
pause for chants
bullshyt story featuring cheap pop bait local reference
pause for chants
point at goosebumps on arm
pause for chants
think up a playground insult a six-year old might use, but add the word "bytch"
pause for chants
if you smell

fukk off.

"Let me tell you something, jack. The Rock knows Tampa. The Rock knows Tampa. The Rock knew Tampa this morning when he sent out his morning tweet. The Rock sent out his morning tweet, then The Rock had his famous pancakes. The famous pancakes of The Rock were eaten here in Tampa, the home of the Super Bowl XXXVII champions, Tampa Bay Buccaneers! The Rock then finished off those buttery pancakes and drove right through Alligator Alley! The Rock drove through Alligator Alley on his way to the local gym, clanging and banging and clanging and banging! After he finished, The Rock saluted Tropicana Field, home of the Tampa Bay Rays, and came here to say...........FINALLY, THE ROCK......HAS COME BACK......TO TAMPA, FLORIDA!!!!"

I don't mind much of the product put out bc there's just so damn much of it these days that it's inevitable some is gonna be :trash:.

That being said, the ONE THING that I actually feel downright pissed off about when watching on TV...........

The :bustback:crowds (seems to have started a few years ago, but the last year seems ten times worse)...........these neckbearded inbred virgins with this new love for making a chant for any & everything. From the "boring" to "holy shyt" & "you can't wrestle" to the overusing all the older chants already mentioned. Anytime the "what" chant is used w/o Austin talking makes me want to blow my brains out & don't get me started on the "CM Punk" chants 93 years later, GET OVER IT.:deadhorse:

--Undertakers :snooze:29 minute entrance has always pissed me off
