What's "grinding your gears" when it comes to pro wrestling right now?

Question

In other words, what's ticking you off about it?

Please expand upon your answer besides saying something like "John Cena" or "wrestling is fake".

Answer 1

The lack of chemistry between wrestlers these days. Its terrible, i could pick a better fued out of my a$$.
For example - Edge and Batista, the worst fued this year. When the first encountered on the Cutting Edge, i thought they were going to have a good ol' fashioned tea party.
It should have been Edge/Hardy, Edge/Kane cause then those guys would have worked together to put on a decent match.
People with great chemistry - The trio of The Rock, Stone Cold and HHH. HHH/HBK, Kane/Taker, Edge/Orton etc

Answer 2

First and foremost, the tragedy in Georgia involving Chris, Daniel, and Nancy Benoit has been discussed, disputed, and analyzed at virtually every angle. It needs to stop so the police can do their damn jobs already.

That may or may not be directly related to pro wrestling, but it had been grinding my gears ever since RAW was to air in Corpus Christi.

As for the in-ring product, I haven't even been able to watch RAW in recent weeks, so the only current complaint I have is that Lashley, and not King Booker, is getting the next shot at John Cena's WWE Championship. We need "royalty" at the top of the "RAW Kingdom", not a face-vs.-face match at The Great American Bash.

I suppose I should at least be thankful that Randy Orton is not getting that title shot.

Moving on to ECW, this past Tuesday was devoted entirely to Johnny Nitro and C.M. Punk. Don't get me wrong. I have a great respect for both of them and their wrestling ability, but I wanted to see other ECW superstars showcased, and seeing two of my favorites (Tommy Dreamer and Kevin Thorn) jobbing to Nitro and Punk isn't exactly showcasing other superstars. Why wasn't The Alpha Male Marcus Cor Von even making an appearance this past week? Why isn't Cor Von making his presence felt and imposing his will into the ECW title picture?

As for SmackDown, three things grind my gears. The most important of these, in my view, is that The Great Khali should be booked to compete in a #1 Contender's Match. If that request/suggestion/demand/etc. is met by WWE, the only way a Khali defeat would even be remotely close to acceptable is if Kane were the victor (I would include Matt Hardy, but the size difference between Matt and Khali is too great to make that plausible). Another thing grinding my gears is that Batista is only removed from the title picture while Edge remains World Champion. This leaves me in a bit of a quandry. Do I hope Edge becomes a "superhero" champion so that Batista never comes close to the World Heavyweight Championship again, or do I hope Edge drops the belt to Matt Hardy, Kane, or The Great Khali, knowing full well that Batista will immediately be named #1 Contender the moment Edge loses the belt? There should have been a second supplemental draft immediately after Vengeance so Batista could be sent back to RAW, a show I've already admitted to missing the past couple weeks, thus making SmackDown that much better. Finally, why is Father Time (reference to SmackDown vs. RAW 2006) still entering the ring? Seriously, his body's nowhere near good enough to let him get away with being "nature", and he's way too old to be a "boy", so just retire already. Better late than never, and it's been "late" ever since that pathetic excuse for a book was written, but the geezer should hang up the boots permanently.

Shifting gears (if there's a pun here, it wasn't intentional at the time I typed it) to TNA, does James Mitchell even have a new monster, or is he trying to play mind games with Abyss? Call a spade a spade, you maniacal madman. Speaking of Abyss, when is he going to finally get his revenge on Christian Cage? Speaking of Cage, why has he still not been pinned or forced to submit since joining TNA? Can we possibly kill all of these proverbial birds with the next Monster's Ball match? As for Serotonin, what is up with these guys? What is their true purpose? Why does Kaz insist on getting in Raven's way? Finally, if there's truth to Jim Cornette's claim that TNA has no "glass ceiling", when is Rhino getting back into the TNA Heavyweight Championship picture? That Triple Threat match last week gave me a glimmer of hope, but Cornette had to know that "The Tennessee Cowboy" James Storm would spit the beer in Rhino's face, enabling Kurt Angle to deliver the Olympic Slam and retain his title. If there are going to be title matches under the premise of "no glass ceiling", the titles should be decided in a fair environment, not the chaos that ensued all last week.

Answer 3

John Cena, the fact that he is getting a huge push and being shown in a light that makes him out to be better than the likes of Hogan, Bret Hart, Curt Angle, Steve Austin, Undertaker. It's a slap in the fact of those who have paved the way that he is an unstoppable super wrestler. They just need to give him Gregory Helms old tights and make him the superhero that they have made him out to be.

Answer 4

The women's division pisses me off. For some reason, women who wrestle are not good enough for the WWE anymore. All it takes now is to look pretty instead of having real wrestling ability. It's sad really.

Answer 5

Mark Henry and his unbelievable wetness
Khali and Umaga and their unstoppable gimmicks
The lack of Chuck Norris and The Rock
People constantly overcoming the odds
Snitskys lack of eyebrows
and the lack of Muta

Answer 6

The number of deaths by bizarre circumstances and the obvious use of illegal drugs by WWE talent to keep going due to the hdeous working conditions. I want health over Vinnie's sick dreams on how to get talent over.

Answer 7

darn I was gonna say John Cena overcoming the odds again and again
but I guess I'll have to say talented superstars (Shelton Benjamin for instance) not getting pushes they deserve

Answer 8

I think Edge should become a good guy. He's rather annoying the way he is now, cheaply stealing the money in the bank contract.

Answer 9

MVP being US Champion.

Edge being World Heavyweight Champion.

Batista not getting anymore shots at the World Heavyweight Championship.

Melina being a ***** lol jk.

Rob Van Dam going to TNA.

Sabu being released.

ECW falling because of so many releases.

Answer 10

John Cena has been WWE Champion to long and he sucks
