10 Greatest Wrestling Logic Fails
10. Monsters And Belts
The wrestling monster is, in and of itself, pretty silly. Even the most successful examples of the form, like Kane, come straight out of bargain bin horror movies, and it can be jarring to see them pitted against some of the more straight laced or at least believable wrestlers of the era. We can accept this, though - this is part of wrestling, we want to see these larger than life characters.
What makes less sense, however, is their follow up career aspirations. Kane coming to WWE to settle a score with his half brother The Undertaker, or to generally satisfy his inhuman bloodlust? That’s fine. That all adds up.
Kane subsequently chasing the Intercontinental championship, though? That’s harder to swallow. What does the big red monster want with the company’s secondary belt?
WWE has a similar issue at the moment with The Fiend. Bray Wyatt is a great creative mind and has done a brilliant job of selling one of the wilder characters in recent years. It falls apart in his pursuit of the Universal Championship, though. It’s tough to simultaneously portray a deranged monster and a dedicated careerist.
