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.
Worse, *full-time wrestlers* doing special guest referee duties getting bumped, and staying down the same length of time as a regular ref; usually from a basic clothesline that they would normally take and barely sell for a second during their own matches... 🤣🤣
Yet no matter what caused them to get "knocked out" they always recover the intant they need to count the pin, which wouldn't happen in any other place.
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.
At least with the Wyatts they're showing us that the security is there, they're just incompetent and taken out off screen. We saw it frequently when they were delivering the VHS tapes to Cole and Pat
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
#7 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.
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 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?".
I mean Cena can get away with jorts since those are every day wear. Also where is taking so long to climb a ladder and freeze for a moment when you're barely hurt? Like Mustafa Ali supposed to win the MITB 2019 ladder match but froze when Brock was coming down the entrance. Ali had enough time to still grab the briefcase
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?
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.
@@dewey9596they called up the production booth. As we saw on RAW I once, Foley radioed the production truck to play someone’s music right after he booked them in a match.
Jim Cornette said it best. "Spooky works in wrestling. Supernatural never has due to how phony it looks" And he was a Taker fan, who also hated the times he would do supernatural shit.
I would have to say my favourite theme is Bret Hart's theme from 1992, as it takes me back to that moment when I became a wrestling fan. My favourite underrated gem would be Marvelous Marc Mero's theme, what a banger!
0:55 My guy, this is actually the MOST realistic thing I see in wrestling ever. There’s situations where I offended someone (usually a subordinate or someone whose contract I happen to be in charge of) years ago and I am just now hearing that they hated me for it ever since. Hell, one guy got angry about something I did as an intern in my junior year of college (it has now been 8 years since I graduated) and he waited until literally THIS MORNING to tell me how I made him feel and that this was why he wanted me passed over for my promotion. If anything, the unrealistic thing is how SOON grievances are addressed in wrestling.
Speaking about attempted murder... Didn't Big Boss Man admit to actually murdering Big Show's father on live TV and none of the security staff ever even attempted to keep a hold of him to hand him off to the police?
I almost want to headcanon that wrestlers' theme songs aren't diegetic (that is, they can't hear it in kayfabe), but wrestlers react to entrance music enough to joss that.
How about the fact that wrestlers always gets a seat in the front row when that seat has been occupied the entire show or has someone take the seat after the wrestler jumps out of their seat to attack another wrestler. That is pure wrestling logic.
The way TNA normally did the hidden camera was actually pretty cool, you could clearly see the camera man hiding when wrestlers would have their talks privately.
What stops Undertaker from blasting everyone inside Hell-in-a-Cell? The CELL itself, being a metal object! Regardless if you consider the in-kayfabe super-ability, or just a light/pyro effect, it wouldn't fly in a metal Cage setting. Even if there was not ceiling, they all probably would get electrocuted, including Taker.
Hot Tag Nonsense= The biggest trope ever!! For some reason, wrestlers are completely immobile when reaching for a tag. Whenever they get cut off, they can move super fast. IT LOOKS GOOFY!!
This is why we love wresting. It's ridiculous and insane. And every company is insane in their own way. This truly is a golden age for the sport. Also my favourite theme song is Silas Young's ROH theme, "United Divided" by Voodoo Johnson.
I actually said the love triangle between Lana, Rusev, and Bobby Lashley should've been settled on a TLC PPV with a ladder match where Lana was in a shark cage above the ring, the key to the lock on it was on a pole, and whoever got the key, then climbed the ladder, unlocked the lock, and opened the door to the cage won Lana.
Or taking forever to climb one. Or, in the case of R-Truth in the Royal Rumble, wait until you get all the way to the top of the ladder before realizing there's no briefcase hanging there.
The babyface always runs in to save another from heels after 80% of the damage has already been done. Same could be said for suited WWE officials backstage.
Thing about the first one. Given the nature of issues wrestlers have if you were to try to handle it outside of a wrestling ring could help you catch an assault charge.
I always thought it was odd how someone interfering to cost someone a match always seems to wait till the end of the match. If I wanted to cost someone a match I'd just walk out as soon as it starts and interfere. I wouldn't wait till 3 close call 2 counts to finally come out
Remember the NO DQ match between AJ Styles and Alestair Black at EC just before the pandemic? There's Black outside the ring by the announce table, and Carl Anderson just standing there looking at him. I'm like, "What are you doing Carl? It's a no DQ match! Do something! Kick him!" but he does nothing, and they wait until near the end of the match to do anything.
the best attempted murder in wrestling was the four horsemen jumping dusty rhodes in the cnn parking lot. those dudes committed aggravated assault and faced ZERO charges.
There was one PPV during a multiman no DQ match where the faces stuffed Braun Strowman (heel at the time) into a garbage truck and activated the compactor. The crowd actually chanted "That was mur-der clap-clap-clapclapclap"
Well this video is pointless, see wrestling is a fantasy land, a tv show if you like, things only continue the next show, so nothing strange bout it, it's just the whole concept of wrestling ENTERTAINMENT, problem solved 😂
Here's something that only makes sense in wrestling and nowhere else, how every host at WhatCulture has a job that they're all actively horrid at 😂 heck, some of them genuinely seem to dislike wrestling!
Wanted to say but haven't because of my love for channel - sorry, but, really dislike the style of the Gareth videos, with mid point requests fore interaction, IE "what is your favourite thing and the request for like and click, not necessary, sorry, but had to say it
