1. Bitter Rivals Meet In The Confines Of A Regulated Wrestling Match
It's happened hundreds of times before, and will definitely happen thousands of times more. On occasion, a rivalry comes along which is portrayed as a blood feud, during which both wrestlers will do anything they can to get their hands on the other, and will stop at nothing to cause their hated foe bodily harm. When Randy Orton and Triple H worked a program together in the lead-up to WrestleMania XXV, fans were encouraged to believe both men genuinely despised one another. Orton DDT'd Stephanie McMahon, before kissing her in front of a handcuffed Triple H, and The Game invaded Orton's home, destroying his house and beating the man senseless. Such a build deserved something more, but instead fans were handed a routine wrestling match. The only stipulations were that if the WWE Champion, Triple H got counted out or disqualified, he'd lose the title to Orton, which made for a very unsatisfying bout for fans. The babyface was unable to give the heel his comeuppance properly, and things would have been a lot more fun had the match been a weapons-based brawl, or maybe even a Steel Cage encounter. What other strange nuances do you think need to be addressed in the world of pro wrestling? Do you agree with the ones on this list? Maybe you don't think anything needs to change at all!
