Wrestling ideas that should go away for awhile

[Guest Luke Cage]

Rebel wrestler vs evil promoter/owner

Surprise appearances from wrestlers who "don't work for the promotion"

Backstage skits

Long in ring interview segments

On screen commissioners who make matches/grant title matches on the fly

Championship belts used as weapons

 

There must be some I missed...

[Guest HartFan86]

Big Show as world champion.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

The Kliq should go away for ever.

 

Why can't anyone see that the two worst periods of WWE we can remember are now and when Diesel was on top.

 

The two Kliq eras are killing you Vince.

 

PAY ATTENTION

Surprise appearances from wrestlers who "don't work for the promotion"

Damn it, when was the last time this even happened?

[Guest D'Lo White]

Triple Threat matches

 

Fat guys who dance and stick their ass in people faces

[Guest deadbeater]

Molly Holly not on Raw...

 

Folmulaic booking

[Guest razazteca]

punch-kick-finish

squashes

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

squashing all the cruisers when they face bigger wrestlers...

 

then having them go back to wrestling each other in competitive matches and not being able to understand why no one cares.

[Guest eiker_ir]

3 minute matches

[Guest Nevermortal]

The heels who's basis for their push is "I Want Respect!"

 

The Customary "Job Upon Arriving" run in the WWE

 

Short Title Reigns

 

HHH

[Guest Ace309]

The low-blow DQ.

 

The beltshot finish.

 

Lawler.

[Guest razazteca]

Low Blow DQ should be enforced more but only in elimation style matches

 

Lawler does need to go, bring in Tazz or Ernest Miller!

[Guest BoboBrazil]

All women's wrestling.

 

Mixed tag matches.

[Guest Nevermortal]

One more:

 

The idea that bigger = better.

[Guest dreamer420]

Blaming HHH for everything wrong in the WWE.

[Tully316 0]

the assumption that I want to see a McMahon on my TV screen (except maybe Shane)

 

Triple H plaing the evil heel who wants cheers. Flair got that because he backed it up in the ring, Triple H just can't work anymore

 

Jericho and RVD curtain jerking

 

puppies, stinkfaces, divas.

 

What do I want to come back?

 

Managers/valets

true tag teams

IC belt

True Heel/face fueds.... none of this tweener shit

stables

more sneak attacks, beatdowns....but not in matches.

matches that last longer than it takes for me to take a shit

 

and some other stuff I can't recall right now

[Guest ElectricRaccoon]

Using the opponent's finisher for a two-count. Sometimes it's cool, but it's been done to excess in the past couple years.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Here's an idea I have...

 

Remove the ban on piledrivers.

[Guest Ram]

Sexuality-related storylines, angles, and gimmicks (excluding a well-executed heterosexual love triangle and a heterosexual wrestler/manager/partner. No offense to homosexuals, though. It's just that it seems as though homosexuality and wrestling can't mix.)

 

Fireballs and colored mist. Hold up the reality.

 

THE LACK OF KAYFABE. THE LACK OF KAYFABE. I don't care if you want to treat us with intelligence. I'd rather be treated like an idiot to be given the chance of believing it again.

 

Too much comedy.

 

Faces who part time work as comics.

[Guest AlwaysPissedOff]

Tag Champs who hate each other- I can't say how much that angle annoys me.

[Guest DJ Jeff]

HHH being in the main event. Place him in the mid card position for awhile, while having RVD hold him down. See how he likes it.

 

No more Big Show as WWE Champion.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Silly reasons for feuds.

Excessive Ref bumps

The Stink Face

Wrestlers in Production meetings

Hosses with no redeeming value

[Guest midnight_burn]

The "push the big vanilla hoss as a monster" push needs to go away, now.

[Guest Anglesault]

Ditto.

 

Along with "If we keep trying with Test, eventually we will break the fans collective wills and they will accept him"

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

Fat people

 

Women

 

Feuds revolving around some percieved slight, like mispronouncing someone's name or a coffee burn.

 

the lack of people being dropped on thier skulls.

 

Stealing finishers to cap off a personal and heated 3 week feud over accidently bumping into a guy in the shower or something.

 

backstage ~ANYTHING~

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Throwaway shows. You have 3-4 weeks between PPVs. Use that time.

 

Lack of hype. They never make it seem like you HAVE to watch a particular show anymore. Every PPV should be made out to be the greatest thing ever.

 

Jobbing guys with new gimmicks. Someone mentioned new wrestlers, but this follows as well. Fresh gimmicks like Cena & Matt (they don't even have to be good, just new) should beat tired ones like Rikishi. Jobbing just kills any interest right from the start.

[Guest Anglesault]

Feuds revolving around some percieved slight, like mispronouncing someone's name or a coffee burn.

Mispronouncing someone's name? This is something I've blocked out, isn't it.

[Guest buffybeast]

squashing all the cruisers when they face bigger wrestlers...

 

then having them go back to wrestling each other in competitive matches and not being able to understand why no one cares.

While I don't think it's right that a hoss squash a cruiser ever, I do think it is a bit unrealistic for someone like Rey to beat a huge wrestler like Brock or Big Show. I think a fan would not be able to suspend belief while watching someone Rey's size beat up someone Brock's size.

[Guest Smell the ratings!!!]

That actually happened? It was just an example. Although I guess you could argue every Jericho feud before last year.

 

Throwaway shows. You have 3-4 weeks between PPVs. Use that time.

 

This is the worst. They have like eight shows maxx to prepare the ppv, and half of them are loaded with lesbians, McMahons, zany backstage antics, and of course, intergender tag matches.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

It's all in the conditioning.

 

I can watch someone like Royce Gracie beat much bigger men in real fighting...so if they put Rey over bigger guys in fake wrestling (without the commentators making it sound like it's the biggest upset ever) people will be conditioned to beleive it.
