A lot of mine have already been said but here we go:

The commentator saying “he’s got him!” or “that’s it!” when someone is pinned. It’s pretty much never it and results in a two count every time.

Little to no psychology or story telling in the ring. Mainly due to spamming finishers and suicide dives.

Characters suck if you can even say that they have characters.

Titles are actual props now. They’re just there to be shiny but don’t matter besides that.

The same wrestlers having matches against each other every week.

Announcers all suck. They don’t make anything seem serious or important. Go back and listen to wcw’s trio during the mid to late 90s.

All the generic cacs with kick pads and the ones wearing satanic symbolism.

Wack theme music

lack of good catchphrases and finishers.

Vince McMahon was HORRIBLE with that in the 90's.

I remember Lawler called him out on it at the King Of The Ring '97. LOL!!

Baron Corbin's thing when he gets thrown into the turnbuckle but he slides out in runs back and slides back in the ring :scust:

i can't stand that move :scust: makes his opponent look like a complete dumbass for standing there the whole time while he does it

I can’t stand in the E how they pretend someones past either doesn’t exist or downplay it as meaningless since it was prior to when they signed.

Or they ignore the ones that left and came back like they didn’t do anything in their time away.

Like crazy the E won’t acknowledge that Drew was a world champ before in another company

When pinned wrestlers clearly look at ref when he makes count to 3 to get better near fall. :stopitslime:
I understand why but once you notice it you know what's to come and it's hard to ignore. Maybe production teams should have chosen better camera cuts to hide that.
