10 Outdated WWE Tropes That Need To Go Away
4. The Attacker Hiding Inside A Cake
Merely saying this out aloud sounds stupid. Hence, it is absolutely something you can expect to see on a wrestling show. However yet again, it’s the way in which WWE chooses to execute it that makes suspending your disbelief rather difficult.
You have some kind of in-ring celebration, a wedding or a championship parade or whatever, there is all kind of décor, and then the hosts of said party bring out a cake: A HUMAN-SIZED CAKE! Straightaway everyone including Rey Mysterio with his one eye can tell that it looks quite fishy.
It doesn’t make much sense within the realms of kayfabe either. What are we supposed to believe? Did the wrestler bribe their rival’s party organizers? And surely, given how often this happens, the wrestlers themselves should make it clear to their people that they won’t want a human-sized cake. So that when they when do see one, it can be easy to deduce that they’re being set up. It's illogical and needs to go away.
