It's frustrating being a wrestling fan these days. No one goes over 100% clean. Everything ends with interference, a ref bump, a foreign weapon, or some kind of controversial cluster##### finish. There's no need for it anyway. Wrestlers are so over with the crowd these days, taking the occasional pin isn't going to hurt them. Jey Uso, Sami, and Owens lose all the time, yet it doesn't stunt their popularity. Meanwhile the top guys never lose clean, or in AEW you have to hit 14 piledrivers onto a table to win a match.

Everything is overbooked to the point where the actual wrestling is less interesting than the story itself. I challenge anyone to remember the last time a main event PPV match ended 100% clean with one finisher. It probably hasn't occured since Taker retired. False finishes are great! I just hate seeing finishing moves being completely devalued to the point where rollups are winning more matches.

One of the tropes I have always found the most annoying in wrestling is a wrestler or groups of wrestlers gathering and waiting outside the ring for an awkward amount of time to take a bump from someone doing flippy #### off the turnbuckle.

More logically, why not just instantly move out of the way and let Flippy McFliperson splatter all over the ground? I get it's scripted, but at least make us believe its somewhat realistic...

The biggest issue with some of the coolest looking moves is the amount of help needed by your opponent to make them work. Even stuff that's been around for ages like the superplex feels silly sometimes... But damn do I love a good superplex
