Technicality booking. Examples banning a babyface's move from a match only for the heel to use it or for the babyface to perform it because the ref didn't see it, banning Jeff Jarrett's guitar so he uses a fukking cello all these are cool because "Technically he didn't say you couldn't..."

Wrestlers who have a blood feud wrestling a normal match and playing to the crowd.

Team members throwing their partners out before eliminating the biggest threat in the ring during Battle Royal and Rumbles.

Going for the pin after performing a move that has never beaten anyone.

Going for a pin after moves that never finish someone is to help wear them out. You make your opponent expend energy kicking out.
You’ll see that strategy especially in a 2 out of 3 falls or Ironman match too. It’s a good piece of psychology, especially when commentary makes note of it

Generally the WWE style matches:picard:



Too many boring predictable restholds

Spots in the matches where both guys lay on the ground for what feels like minutes.

The “slow it down” pace shyt in cases where it don’t make sense

The overdoing the “clash of styles” shyt (high flyer vs brawler, big guy vs little)

Guys in feuds being forced one way or another to be pit against each other week after week leading up to a show. I don’t need one week to see them fight in a DQ, then next week it’s a tag match, then next week it’s an interview that leads to a brawl, then next week they’re forced to tag together against another team, then next week they do a long promo contract signing segment that leads to another brawl, then the match at the PPV, then Monday they fight again.

Speaking of promos.... the scripted promos

Jeez, let them breath

One of my pet peeves is that they don't emphasize this nearly enough IMO

They should do more training vignettes for big matches like they did Rock vs Brock at Summerslam 02, to sell the psychology of having a fight plan instead of just having wrestlers go through their same routine of moves no matter who their opponent, the stakes of the match or how long they've had to prepare

they're pretty unnecessary but most the time they can't be seen so they don't bother me :manny:

plus that clip of Peyton and Billie backstage forcing everyone to look at their side plates was jokes :russ:
:laugh: that shyt was funny :yes:

I guess I miss the days when the belt was THE BELT, and not just another branding/marketing opportunity. Oh well :manny:
