The Referees obvious kayfabe fails are also something that sticks out, like the fact they're easily distracted, or are so weak, they can get knocked out by being slightly bumped into.

-Miz was eaten alive by zombies -Rey Mysterio was thrown off of the roof of a building

kevin owens being logical in troupes is my favorite version of him rn, he literally just says whats going to happen next and its funny everytime

When some wrestlers can't win clean anymore after a heel turn

AJ got buried alive, Rey lost his eye AND got thrown off a ladder 100 feet off a building. Covid was wild!

If the wrestlers were actually watching the live show, when the camera cuts to them, wouldn't it be just a nonstop loop of them watching themselves?

Not gonna bring up the weird Royale Rumble debuff? I've watched Brett Hart do a 60 minute ironman match and get up from crazy hits but the second he's in a Royale Rumble he gets suplexed and he's down for 10 minutes.

One thing that I didn't understand in WWE/WWF programming was when Undertaker or Kane was in human form (Biker Taker and Corporate Kane), do they turn off their super powers like turning off a light?

Social media and the Internet basically killed kayfabe. It was inevitable to be fair.

Technically, selling a move all the time is not realistic. When you watch boxing or MMA, you rarely see someone show that they are in pain

One for me is, the timing of an outside interference. A match could be going on for 15 minutes before someone interferes. If the match ended earlier, then the mission failed. Interferences always happen so late. 😂

And somehow they usually manage to get a front row ticket at the last minute for sold out shows

These flaws are part of the charm, I can't imagine watching wrestling without "wrestling logic".

Easiest way to explain Undertaker not using powers in No DQ matches is he doesn't want to win that way.. even though he's the deadman he's still an honorable fighter and wants to use conventional means to win otherwise it would be too easy.

There is an obvious reason wrestlers don't watch the show. Wrestlers don't watch screens by standing in front of them. They usually stand to the side of the screen and crank their neck 90 degrees to be able to see it. Having to turn your neck like that can surely lead to injuries and early retirements.

I love how Rey and his son stay in character!

I would love to see a video of Spanish announce table smashes from the Spanish tv perspective with their commentary.

TNA's camera work for promos did feel like shoots were going on since it looked like the camera man sat at a good distance and wouldn't be noticed by the wrestlers working a supposed promo when in reality they were having a real and heated argument

Not just WWE, all wrestling

I’ve always said the rule that champions retain in event of a DQ is weird. If I was a heel champ, I’d just blatantly get dq’d every time I defended. Obviously I know from a practical standpoint why it doesn’t happen, just surprises me that they haven’t used that in a story

the biggest flaw was Vince in WWE being allowed to come back & for running the show for so long!

The 5 count rules in any match. 5 counts in a corner or on a rope. It never means anything because there are 10 count punches and the competitor doesn't get dq'd.

Worst scenario I recall Torrie Wilson and dawn Marie were in a extremely bitter fued over dawn marrying tories father In the middle of the fued they are shown shooting for playboy together

TEXT: “BANNED FROM AREA” Wrestlelamia: “THE ANNOUNCE TABLE”

Adults hate this stuff, but kids are enamored by it. I usually just ignore it cuz I know the kids love it.

Once Pat McAfee said : Shotzi locked Aliyah and a cameraman 😅

Most of these flaws go across most wrestling companies, and have for decades.

Great video 😂. The biggest one for me is how you can be completely unconscious, made to stand up and then pushed to the ropes and able to run from rope to rope to be clotheslined. 😂😂

Also the biggest flaws.... constant cheating, outside interference, and referee distractions. That should be available on no DQs, no holds barred, no stipulation, and I quit matches (with limitations). 🤷🏾

Im still wondering how they achieved that lightning effect ⚡

A huge trope/cliché is the wrestling fans they are so bad, like WWE is doing well, but they want more stuff, but some of the stars are either injured or too busy on doing stuff

I love the local medical facility 😅😅

With contract signings, there are no attorneys or notaries are present

At 2:15, I remember when Jeff Hardy’s pyro exploded on him. I don’t know how they staged that.

Love the video. I‘m a relatively new wrestling fan and i was always wondering about the things you said in the video👍.

AJ Styles getting buried alive was weird

Somebody in wwe need to see this

You are right about the police entry. How about when Stone Cold was 'run over', no sign in the entire story of police arresting a suspect, or worse still, no arrest for Rikishi(the driver)or Triple H(the mastermind), when it was all revealed. Instead, Stone Cold had in ring wars with them(plus no arrest for Stone Cold in the story, when he 'dropped' Triple H from a forklift when HHH was in a car, which would of surely killed him in real life). I know its all for story and show, like a movie, but it always seems daft no police are involved in some stories.

They should actually just have the announcers clear off the table for those spots. Like "omg we need to help him not get hurt" type of thing.

hey when you make your videos do you make the video then record your audio to it? Or you record your audio then make the video around it?

I hate the contract signing gimmick it is a waste of time it is a waste of everything and it does not push story forward. You're just grinding for time makes me sad. But I seem to be a minority when it comes to that

they really said why doesnt taker just palpatine force lighting his way to victory

I mean kayfabe died years ago sooooo yeah

Wrestlers secretly watches other promotions for real

Wrestlers got casted into a genjutsu while staring into the entrance ramp.

Power of social media killed all this kayfabe, days when used to believe to be real on TV are long gone.

Let's talk about Edge who had so much supernatural powers in his second run 😂

Mustafa Ali should've won MITB

The "lights out" trope stopping three counts or the timekeeper ringing the bell; like they don't do it often enough to be able to do it in the dark...

@1:10 I've always wondered this. Also, why wait for a completely fresh guy who is pissed off to attack you? The Music plays go in the crowd.

#6 is my biggest pet peeve in wrestling. It completely takes me out of suspension in belief whenever that happens.

06:16 "the announce table" still has "banned from the arena" text. In case you wanted to change that.

The banned situation is they are banning them as an employee, not a patron. Like a suspension. For example you can be banned from the mall as a patron but still allowed to work in said mall as an employee and vice versa, thats the concept it actually does make logical sense lol

That's so funny about the music hitting, or the time it takes them to climb a ladder

6:20 The wrong title was used for "The announce table"

Jon Moxley vs Seth Rollins feud was lackluster

Sadly, many promotions think fans are all idiots.

They should change the rules to the Tables Match where you don't have to lose the after going through a table

i think the thing about em locking up before matches are ppl just looking to complain. is a classic wreslting move and is a clean way ( transition wise ) to start a match.

WWE does do the sneaky cameraman thing, NXT anonymous

Commercial breaks during title matches. Happened this Monday with Sami and Bronson fighting for the International Championship.

The fact that contract signings "MAKE THE MATCH OFFICIAL!!!" When it has been announced and on the company's website for weeks, with the kayfabe signing angles usually happening on the last TV episode before the PPV/PLE... 🤣🤣

This is some nice hidden secrets.

I feel like with contract signings, it should only be matches with stipulations so it could make more sense for the wrestlers to be signing the risk of their health away.

The only 2 entrances I understand stopping at was the undertaker and kanes when the lights go off

people commit crimes in movies…. This is just live lol

I’ve come up with my own answer for why Undertaker didn’t use his powers during matches. It’s because it was dishonorable to do even when he was playing a heel

The barricade spot should been mentioned lol

I hate when there’s a reversal and the commentators say that it was well scouted like the wrestlers are actually watching film and taking notes on their opponent

Why don't wrestlers just spam their finishing move or use it straight out the gate a la Sheamus Mania 28?

1:03 THIIIIIISSSS😭😭😭😭💔💔💔

Thank you

Damn, 30 years watching Pro Wrestling... But why am I not aware of this😂😂

The only one that annoys me is when a wrestler is atracked outside of a match they're made of paper but if the same attack happened in a match they'd still beat the 10 count.

Banned from the arena twice eh

Number 4 and 3 are titled the same in the video.

Yesss

Wrong this is why we have the PG era now because of guys like Austin, rock, Benoit, Taker etc. they were too violent

On the announcer table: It’s all on the Spanish announcer

please follow up with -1000% kayfabe flaws in other wrestling promotions! ♥♥

Contract Signings are getting boring

I HATE when wrestlers commit kayfabe crimes right in front of the camera, for the audience and announcers to see.

Clicked so quick

Why can a wrestler put their opponent(s) through the announcers table(s) and not get DQ but they get a regular table out or kendo stick its an immediate DQ

Kayfabe fkaws thank you so much for the knowledge, Wrestlelamia ❤

Multi team tag matches where only one team can win. You can tag anyone but why would you ever tag anyone but your own partner?

The referees taking much longer than 10 seconds to make an outside the ring ten count

A video i was waiting for! Thank you Wrrrrrrrestlamia🫡. You forgot to mention when the reff is about to pin 3 he gets interrupted by a entrance music😁.

How do y’all get here so fast 😂

Why is it that only the Spanish announce table gets destroyed? lmfao 😂

Who are the 2 that attacked John Cena at the 13 second mark?

Undertaker is the Wayne Gretzky of pro wrestling

When outside interference occurs, the person getting beat down. When they finally get help, it’s like 15 minutes after the beatdown. In the words of Bayley. Hello? Ding dong, help needed asap.

Wrestling would not be wrestling without all of this. That's also why we watch. I don't know how these are "flaws". People who don't like it have UFC, boxing, etc. available.

Although very valid points are made in this video, when you start nit picking everything that’s when wrestling becomes less fun. When I find myself doing this, I remember that I’m a fan. Not the booker.

Wearing all black to raw next week 😈

That Mustafa Ali thing was really awkward.

It’d be funny if a wrestler explained how they got out of being buried alive by saying they brought a spoon with them to shovel themselves out of the ground.

Ali could've took the briefcase and just jumps out of the ladder and run 😅

WWE Speed has created a permanent issue which was only previously exclusive to the occasional Beat The Clock Matches; why can't wrestlers win that quickly in EVERY MATCH they have? Aren't they trying in regular matches? 🤔🤔🤣🤣
