10 Things Pro Wrestling Is Still Terrible At

Reinvention needed.

The Dark Order
AEW

It's kinda' remarkable that wrestling has been enjoyable at all in 2020.

The ongoing global pandemic certainly hasn't helped WWE or AEW, but both major companies have endeavoured to keep on kicking despite the lack of natural ambience or any sense of pre-March 2020 normality. They deserve a lot of credit for that.

There, the nice bit is out of the way. Now to crucify both products and serve up a sobering sense of reality! OK, not quite. Still, there are so many things that pro wrestling generally (not just WWE and AEW) is absolutely bloody terrible at - those promotions just happen to be in the firing line first because of their status as influential leading lights.

They're not new phenomenons either. This list is crammed full of mistakes that wrestling was making before the entire world was shaken by a health scare. Most worryingly, none of them seem to be things that companies are in any real rush to fix. That's a pity, because they really need fixing.

Good sides to both groups would be enhanced if they actually sorted these out. Don't hold your breath...
