3. Disappearing Weapons
My biggest bug bear with WWE games since you could wreck weapons was how they would disappear magically. Once you piledrive your opponent through a table or smack him upside the head numerous times with a chair, the item just vanishes. God how I hate that! Now, Im not here to say that the weapons should pile up so that the game glitches and you end up falling over them / morph threw them so it ends up looking like youve grown a hammer threw your temple but instead, take a leaf out of WWE TVs book; have the ref move them. Surely it would be quite simple to have the ref pick up the item (considering they can snatch them from you already), walk to the far side of the ring and drop them over the top rope. Seeing as you cant see the floor on the far side of the ring, the weapon can then do its most beloved magic trick whilst you are blissfully unaware of the trickery afoot. Naturally the problem would come about when an item becomes wrecked on the outside but, considering weapons can only be used in matches that have no count outs and no DQ, the ref would be outside with you and can dispose of the offending item by sliding it under the ring after a very simple animation. Easy! There would be occasions when you might see the annoying vanishing act by, say, wrecking a weapon and , as the ref picks it up to move, you decide to exit the ring on the far side, but Im sure most wouldnt see this too often at all.
