10 Greatest Wrestling Logic Fails

5. Trusting A Heel

Why does anyone trust the Big Show? Or, for that matter, Triple H, or Seth Rollins, or half of the roster? Factions and alliances come and go in WWE, and if we’re to believe that these are highly trained, ruthless wrestlers who are ultimately looking out for number one, it makes sense that there’ll be a betrayal here and there, and that other superstars will be blindsided.

At a certain point, though, it becomes hard to have a lot of sympathy for the trusting souls who get their pants pulled down by their ever-turning colleagues. The Undertaker has experienced this twice at the hands of The Big Show. He’s one of the true veterans of the business, and while his character avoids a lot of clichés, “excess gullibility” doesn’t seem to be one of them.

Every now and then they’ll work the character’s history into a storyline, like Dean Ambrose’s difficulty in trusting Seth Rollins when The Shield reunited, but more often than not a character’s nefarious past falls into WWE’s three month rule - if it happened that long ago, it doesn’t count anymore.
