The biggest logic gap in wrestling


Recommended Posts

The second part isn't hard to figure out, Face 2 suddenly gained enough strength to scare Heel A, same with Face 1/Heel B. But why is Heel A suddenly no longer afraid of Face 1?

Heel A is no longer afraid of Face 1 because he's already taken a beating from Face 1 and he wasn't so tough.

Why is a backbreaker called a backbreaker when it doesn't actually break the back? Sure it's the attempted goal, but it's rarely, if ever, happened. Shouldn't it be called Backbuster?

 

(Yes I got that from EWR)

Well, an axe is supposed to chop wood, but it doesnt' always do it on the first try. Give someone 90 backbreakers and see the wonders of a split vertebrae.

Finger Sex ... the question really is, why was the hand white? Mae's got some answering to do!

 

I could have sworn the hand was a pinkish color

I suspect the Hamburger Helper mascot had something to do with this either that or THING from the Adams Family.

Seriously. By that logic, winning matches takes a back seat to pleasing fans. But this surely can't happen...in the Kayfabe Kingdom.

That's why heels dominate matches....they just care about winning. Faces have to do the comeback because it makes the fans happy, whether or not they win depends on how good they are.

when 3H has his Phallic Sledgehammer of Doom-uh, why does he always use the handle to hit ppl in the head? Id' be much more effective if he used the hammer part.

 

in Hardcore matches, why doesn't one of the guys just kick the guy in the nuts a whole bunch of times, hit his finisher and win in like a minute?

What does it mean when Bradshaw says "He's going to Pound Some Ass?"

But an axe isn't called a wood chopper.

HHH's Sledgehammer can kill you (at least it SHOULD, its a fuckin' sledgehammer!), but he doesn't wanna go to jail....so he'll just really hurt you with it. HHH doesn't want to take the chance of actually killing you by nailing you with the hammer part.

 

Hardcore matches: You can try to do that, but after the first shot in the nuts, the guy would be expecting it.

So if faces only care about the fans, and don't care about winning, why wrestle in the first place? Go be a fucking comedian or clown or something.

But what about all the backstage assaults that occur? Why didn't Jericho go to jail for nailing Christian with a steel chair just before Survivor Series? It was on camera, everyone saw it. If nobody's gonna phone that in, or HHH being dropped off a crane, why worry?

Faces don't ONLY care about the fans.....but they prefer to have their approval. Trust me, if guys like The Rock and Jericho (when he was a face) were better at something else instead of wrestling, they'd go do it. Look at Rock....now he's off to do comedic film.

yeah, 3H tries to kill people all the time.

 

And if someone kicked ME in the nuts, I'd be too busy writhing in pain to block anything, and stomping on the nuts counts

If you asked someone for a wood chopper, you'd get an axe.

If I asked someone for money, I'd get kick to the balls. Don't see your point.

Christian forgave him. No one called it in because Christian is a heel and he probably deserved it.

If you asked someone for money, you'd be ignored and labeled a homeless person. Not the same thing.

 

Seriously....go to a hardware store or something like that and ask for a wood chopper. He'll bring you an axe. If you say "Hey guy, I wanted a wood chopper, not an axe", he'll say "well....what the fuck is that supposed to be!?"

Hamburger meat is pounded to make tender before cooking. He's basically saying that he's going to make hamburger meat out of you...its an expression.

Why is there a heel commentator and a face commentator?

Because AngleSault has nothing better to do.

 

Oh, you meant everyone, I'm sorry.

 

They still like wrestling....and have hope that it will get better.

Hey Dames, how come The Smartmarks writers, despite being so SUPER COOL ... don't get paid?

 

 

I want money for the articles I'm not writing.

The face commentator is usually the play by play guy, who wants to approved by the masses, so he goes along with all of the things that the face does. The "heel" commentator calls it the way he sees it, although he usually overcompensates for the guys that the face commentator doesn't like just to bust his balls.

That's an easy one.....I DON'T GET PAID.

 

Seriously, if I had a good job right now, I'd pay you guys.

When a Guy gets thrown into the ropes, why doesn't he just hold on instead of running into a backdrop, Fist, Dropkick, etc?

Sure that's what they do. But why are there always a heel and face commentator?

 

And why can't people in the arena hear the commentary?

Sometimes, they hold on and bail out of the ring. Other times, they get whipped so fast that they don't have the time to hold onto the ropes or duck under the clothesline.

Well, there isn't always a heel and face anymore. Lawler and Tazz are more heels than faces anymore.

 

Because it's pretty distracting to the crowd to hear voices pumped over the speakers during the shows. WWA tried this for their shows and it really didn't work. Plus as fast as announcers have to talk, the reverb would SUCK.

How come when HBK or Flair get thrown into the corner, they do a flip before they hit, making them roll over the top? Why not just take the hit Flat Back like others?

There isn't always. JR is the face and Lawler isn't even a heel anymore. Cole is the face and Tazz doesn't openly cheer for heels. Tenay and West don't either.

 

The people in the arena can't hear the commentary because it'll drown out the crowd.
