Rants

Most overused WWE tropes

By Scott Keith on December 29, 2017


Which angles/stories have been used enough already? Which ones could you live without in the future?

My nominees:
– overdramatic stretcher job/injury angle

– heel stable MAKING A STATEMENT, PUTTING EVERYONE ON NOTICE, with another beatdown on babyfaces

– ref bump screwjob finishes. In kayfabe, why not hire more resistant refs?

​Your third one only leads to a more annoying trope: The TROUBLESHOOTING REFEREE, who then becomes the focus of the match. I prefer my refs like Vince prefers his women: Nameless and ready to go down at the slightest touch.
