In 2007, Hornswoggle won the Cruiserweight title in a match he wasn't featured in because apparently the people in the ring when the bell sounds are eligible to win the match. Then why, in 2005, was Christian, who was the only one in the ring when the bell sounded, NOT the winner of Money in the Bank?

This is more of a petpeave for me, but why did wrestlers celebrate when they won a match by either DQ or count out, only to act shocked when hearing that titles can only change hands via pinfall or submission?

I would say it's because it's "everyone who is in the ring at the bell is eligible," not "only people in the ring at the bell are eligible."

Why is the People's Elbow so awesome? I mean I love it as much as anyone but it's ridiculous.

Why don't people put their hands up when someone starts punching them?

Why would you wait a week between shows to attack someone?

[Daniel F'n Bryan]

Why do the announce tables break all the time with moves like Rock Bottom, Chokeslam, Pedigree, F5, Additude Adjustment, etc. but Randy Orton does an RKO and the thing doesnt budge :/

Why dont champions just get disqualified every time they defend their title.

love it! and to me , it does makes sence.. its one of his spots.. just like everyone has those 4 or 5 signature moves, which are usually offensive.. ric just happens to have one that isnt offensive.. kinda like how 9/10 times he goes to the top , he gets thrown off , and his plane crash gets mentioned.. but i giggle and love it every time...

Those flips are not joke. I saw one where he caught the rope and it looked painful as hell and then there's the time Davey Boy Smith tried doing that in a match against I wanna say HBK. It's on the Bret/HBK DVD and it's from 95 I think. HBK whipped Bulldog and he tried that but he ended up just flipping and hitting the turnbuckle really hard with his back and falling to the mat. I've gotta think that didn't help his eventual back problems.

As for the table not breaking when Orton does an RKO, I don't think that's planned. I know the one time he did it and it didn't break he did it again and I've gotta think it was to try and break the table.

Throwing/ Suplexing an opponent at/ on another opponent hurts both of them. Throwing/ Suplexing a tag team partner at/ on an opponent hurts the opponent but not the tag team partner.

[Arik Cannon]

When you miss doing a dropkick it hurts you more when it should feel the same whether you hit them or not.

Why guys can just slide under the bottom rope and hang outside the ring during a royal rumble/battle royal.

Alot of the backstage conversations people have not knowing about the camera.

When a guy goes for a pin after a move like a hiptoss or a bodyslam and the announcer has to act like the match might be over and is amazed that the guy kicked out of the pin attempt.

John Cena never pulling back on the STF.

Andre the Giant trying to sell the title to DiBiase lol.

The only time guys end up draped over the 2nd rope is against Rey mysterio setting up the 619

Why is that I've watched wrestling for about 26 years now lol?
