3. WWE Really Need To Do Something About Spot Calling
On the other end of the scale, moving away from the cheerful notion that WWE are making strides with female performers, someone really needs to have a word with some of the more senior male stars on the roster. Whether the microphones are too sensitive, turned up way too loud, or these guys are simply being careless, there are far too many times when the viewer at home can hear wrestlers calling spots. It's quite mentally jarring to loudly hear John Cena proclaim that he's going to Irish Whip, duck under, run the ropes and shoulder tackle Kevin Owens, before seeing that exact sequence play out seconds later. It's all happening with alarming regularity, and there's absolutely no reason for it, so why the booming voices? Surely if fans at home can hear these words, people around ringside must be able to, and it ruins the whole drama of the match. Worse yet, WWE's production staff seem to enjoy zooming in on wrestlers laying on the mat, staring at their opponent following a submission move or high-impact bump, clearly relaying information to their rival or the referee about what to do next. Dolph Ziggler's assertion that Ryback should nail him by shouting, 'clothesline me' at the top of his voice is rather funky, and shouldn't be happening in WWE.
