3 Things That Irritate You About The WWE Right Now

[Spongedaddy]

1) PPV prices. Even the NFL relaxed the blackout rule. Give the ppl some value during these rough economic times

2) Random turns - I do not even think there is a logic to the heel/face turns these days

3) The GM position - I really think it has outlived its usefulness. Okay now the crazy lady is running things? The computer was really Hornswaggle? I liked Teddy Long the best, but they kept sticking him in the dumbest ******* segments.

I don't think Jericho was ever officially a 'face' when he returned though. Just because people were cheering for him? That doesn't mean he was a 'face', and it became obvious after a few weeks that he was just trolling people by coming out and acting like a jackass while not saying anything. Jericho hasn't been a face since what, 2008?

I'm not trying to be a dick here, just honestly don't seem to think there are that many heel/face turns to speak of that really don't make any sense.

I actually agree. I honestly feel it's the opposite to an extent. Sheamus needs a change, Cena needs at least a tweak, Orton needs a change, and etc. Punk would have been added if it weren't for last night.

The only chnage I can think of that didn't make sense was R-Truth. He went from being annoying to one of the most entertaining guys there as a heel. Then they blew up he and Miz too soon and then made him face.

Here's a small one that's nitpicky, but matters to me, and hasn't been mentioned.

Announcing wrestlers before their music hits. Pisses me off. They often water down what would be a much bigger pop by announcing the surprise seconds before it happens. Just play the freaking music!

Even this week, I didn't like Vince announcing D-X. Just have him say, "Welcome to Monday Night Raw!!", then "Are you Ready!?" hits... chills.

Big Show continuing to ruin main events.

Not enough Stephanie McMahon on TV

1- The announcers. They simply do not even bother calling the action in the ring anymore. I'm not a mark for JR like a lot of you guys are, but he is infinitely better than anyone else they have right now. I'm also not a fan of 3 man announce teams so the best pair that they have right now IMO would be a face PBP guy in Ross and a heel color man in Striker.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Having the PBP guy (Cole) as a heel just doesn't work. Does he get heat? Yes. But he gets that heat at the expense of doing a PBP guy's job and that's calling the match. Think of Monsoon/Heenan or McMahon/Ventura. The faces (Monsoon and McMahon, respectively) were always the PBP guys and the heels (Heenan and Ventura) were always the color men. It simply works because the PBP guy can concentrate on calling the matches and not need to worry about getting heat.

Michael Cole is terrible. Jerry Lawler sucks as a face and his jokes are older than he is. Booker T can hardly grasp the English language. Josh Matthews is pretty good, but cannot carry a broadcast team yet. Matt Striker is the most knowledgeable and smarky, but would be best suited as a heel. Jim Ross is clearly the best PBP guy of the bunch, but got demoted due to his disease. I think that about covers it.

2- Lack of managers. Sure, we have Vickie and Ricardo (who is fantastic by the way) but that's not enough. Imagine how much farther a guy like Swagger could have gotten when he was WHC if he had a Heenan-esque mouthpiece in his corner. Or how much more Tyson Kidd could have gotten over with a manager since he has all the in-ring talent in the world but not a lick of personality.

I mean, we now have guys like David Otunga and Santino who can't wrestle at all while getting borderline main event matches and big roles on TV when elite in-ring guys like Kidd and Swagger are now relegated to mid card jobbers. The reason why is because Otunga and Santino can talk. Too bad neither one of them has ever had a match where I immediately thought to myself, "I can't wait to watch that one again!" unlike Swagger and Kidd.

Bring back managers. PLEASE!?

3- The general manager position in general. It has gotten to the point where the role of GM is starting to overshadow the actual in-ring competitors. I think a system where they simply have a WWE President behind the scenes (a la Jack Tunney) would be the best way to go. That way, they would only appear on screen every so often when a big decision or ruling was needed. I think that system would be much better than current one is, for sure.

Michael Cole, sometimes hes on the face side, sometimes he's heel.
Primo and Epico, i think they are face, but it was too subtle a turn

Maybe I should change what I said. There are some people who don't have a definite status. Alex Riley a couple moths ago was ratting out CM Punk drinking. Next match he works as a face. It's just those kinds of things that bug me. Object to it all you want, but it is my opinion.
