as for the outside interference. i loved how the trope was spun on its head at summerlam, as damian priest just look at the replay on the jumbotron.

Stop letting Rikishi’s sons wear hoodies- security 😂

[HuronA]

Britt Baker yelling at Rebel "Wait, you brought a camera crew?!!" during a backstage segment.

[Aragorn]

The referee being made out of glass when they're BARELY bumped 😅

I like the way TNA/Impact Wrestling used to do the "secret convo" skits, having it look like someone was trying to peek around a corner to over hear a convo instead of the WWE invisible camera skits. They are all scripted but it actually looked better to peek from a distance than sitting in the room.

Tony D’Angelo has murdered multiple wrestlers in NXT yet never faces prison time 😂

Here's another one where the Wyatt Sicks being the newest example. Groups are allowed to just run around and brutally attack their coworkers and there never seems to be effective SECURITY to stop them.

In Fact that's another one - SECURITY is largely hopeless at stopping anyone unless the story line needs someone to be taken to jail.

My favorite theme song is btw Hollywood rock and stone cold disturbed because it was more epic

[SuburbanProperty]

Tbf the multi person damage multiplier can be chalked up to wrestlers being able to take more time to recover while others are distracted. I think it fits

[BaithNa]

How is the mist "poison" if no one has ever been poisoned by it?

[Canrugger]

Lets be honest…if you had entrance music you would want it played whenever you can lol

[vesselthanatos]

Seth Rollins: "hey didn't you lose an eye?"
Rey Mysterio: "yeah, but i preferred two eyes, so i grew it back or something"

AEW wrestlers have addressed this. With wrestlers saying something like do you think I don't watch the show. I heard what you said, I know what you're planning.

#5
Is why I hate triple threat matches. One of the wrestlers takes a basic move they'd normally bounce up from and lay outside the ring for minutes so the other two wrestlers can actually wrestle. There's a very small number of triple threat matches that actually work. Four or more people tend to flow better.

I think the mist thing works better in lore with how it actually is than the "secret glands" explanation. It perfectly fits into wrestling narrative that someone would keep the packet on their gear so they can use it when needed, just like Regal & the Brass Knuckles. In fact it'd be a nice dramatic moment seeing Asuka on camera put it in as it'd create the speculation of "when's it coming?" and "will it be countered?".

[UnkPoker]

I love Orange Cassidy using Jefferson Starship's "Jane"...I think it perfectly sums up the character...just so random...

[ekeithturner]

#5 also applies to tag team matches. One guy gets knocked off the apron and then spends several minutes trying to get back up

[TheThird]

My favourite "makes no sense" example of a wrestler always being in their gear was Lance Storm jumping the rail and nailing Saturn with a superkick to literally kickstart the Invasion angle. Despite not being (in storyline) a contracted WWE wrestler and not having a match, Storm appears in his tights, boots, and pads, not to mention with his wrists taped also.

I will defend being down longer in a multi person match! Logically, wouldn’t you want to play possum while the other people keep beating each other up?

[emeraldaly]

#1 reminds me of the show "You." A simple blue baseball cap renders Joe totally invisible when on his prowls.

[Rattwap]

In regards to the music playing when someone runs out, I imagine there’s a sound guy at gorilla who’s responsible. The moment he sees someone running to the curtain, he quickly loads up their entrance theme.
