10 Outdated WWE Tropes That Need To Go Away

2. Onscreen Murder

The title alone should explain this entry. Over the years we have seen, people being set on fire, people being entombed alive, people being tossed into large water bodies, people being set on fire again, people being run over by cars, being crushed under massive objects, being run over by cars again, you get the message.

Not once has anyone been charged.

It’s somewhat explained for people like the Undertaker and Kane because well they’re supposed to be undead demon zombie wizard things with magic powers who live presumably in hell. Presumably, American police can't operate in hell.

But what about the rest? Why wasn’t Rowan arrested for trying to kill Roman Reigns on multiple occasions? Why wasn’t Zelina Vega wheeled off for attempting to poison Montez Ford? We will never get any answers. But the least we can hope for is this ludicrous old trope getting shelved for good.

After battling Galactus and pinning Hulk Hogan in the main event of Wrestlemania, I've taken a break from living in fantasy worlds, to focus on writing about them. I'm a comic book geek, a wrestling mark, a break dancer, and a scientist. One of those things may not be true.
