What annoys you about the WWE?

What strange little things do WWE do wrong that annoy you most? We're not talking 'they don't push the cruiserweights' or 'HHH is always in the main event' I'm talking more minute annoying things that just get on your nerves?

My current bug bear is when they have wrestlers turn up to Smackdown or Raw and tell the GM or whoever it is, that they have not come prepared to wrestle? They're professional wrestlers, they have travelled half way across the country (if not further) to a TV taping of a wrestling show, what the frick did they expect to be doing?!?!?!!?

Please tell me I am not the only one to be annoyed by this?!?!

Wrestlers that always wear their wrestling gear. They'll come out for an in ring interview in their gear, they'll be out int he parking lot in their gear. (prime example Randy Orton getting thrown out of the arena only to come back 2 hours later in his ring gear!) IMO they should only be in their wrestling gear if their about to wrestle.

However Jericho gets away with it since he wears a shirt from time 2 time.

WWE Show Opener
 
When they totally forget about storylines, or don't give em the blowoff that they deserve.

Obvious examples being the Mae Young pregnancy angle, Edge being taken out by a mystery assailant and we wait a year or so only for it to never be mentioned when he eventually returns and the whole Hurricane/Nidia 'I know something about you' angle. Oh and the Booker T angle that was something very similar, and the GTV stuff. Annoys me lots.

I guess I like wrestling to be wrapped up in nice neat little packages of storyline with the right build and blowoff to every feud. But it does annoy me when I see how entertaining an angle could be and they don't pick up on it.

Yeah, I bet if they put all the Moments Ago clips together from one show it would take up a quater of the show. Waste of TV time.

For me lately, it's the continuous rehashing of previous storylines and gimmicks, including:

* JBL as Ted DiBiase, and Orlando Jordan as Virgil
* Simon Dean as Bodydonna Skip
* Carlito Caribbean Cool as Razor Ramon
* Triple H as Ric Flair (with the suits, multiple title reigns, etc.)
* Heidenreich as Goldberg (complete with the gloves, and now going exclusively by his last name)

None of these ideas reflect any sort of creativity. I don't mind the Triple H gimmick that much since Flair *is* his idol, and guaranteed he'll eventually match or surpass Flair's number of title wins, barring injury. But those others are very obvious rehashes, utilizing wrestlers who aren't as talented - perhaps with the exception of Simon Dean - as the originals.

I never caught the "Goldberg" thing until you pointed it out lol. You can look at it as rehashing but you could prolly take the Goldbergs,Razors,skips etc and and compare them to someone before them as well.For younger or new fans, these will be new characters to them and I guess seeing how they worked in the passed, there is nothing wrong with doing them again. (If done right that is)

I think it is better they don't say anything in most cases. Last thing they want to do is come up with a firing angle for everyone they let go because of how often it happens. It wouldn't look very good if every month or more they are firing someone and any other angle might look too 80's seeing how we will prolly see them on TNA a week later. They do enough angles to death, adding one more that will make them look like they fire people left and right doesn't look to good on tv. That was WCW's job.

What annoy me the most is when they make someone who can really wrestle get killed by some big piece of crap like Tomko. They don't let a guy like Akio utilize all the moves he is capable of, because WWE worries too much about pushing these big guys who can't wrestle for shit.

And why haven't we seen Christian talk to Trish since he came back?? aren't they spossed to be a couple? or was I supposed to forget about an angle that lasted 8 months?
