5 things that annoy us in professional wrestling

Pro wrestling is an acquired taste, which isn’t actually going to come as news to anyone reading this. Some fans have loved it since they were young and others stumbled across it and couldn't take their eyes off the television screen. No matter how you got into the business, it has a way of hooking you in.

Unfortunately, much like most sports, it isn’t without flaws. Some of them are smaller than others and a few may just be personal gripes on our part, but in a way, having these frustrations continues to keep us invested with the hope that they’ll be rectified.

Some people undoubtedly won’t care about a few of the issues we’re about to raise, and you may even enjoy them – and that’s the beauty of this thing we all know and love.

With all of that being said, here are five things that annoy us in professional wrestling.

#5 Quality Divide

For some strange reason, there seems to be this thought process floating around the world of pro wrestling that you can only enjoy certain types or styles of matches. On one hand, you’ve got independent wrestling fans who love the high-flying nature of the bouts they see, meanwhile WWE fans enjoy the storytelling and selling involved in one of those contests.

It baffles us that some fans believe you can't like both, just because they’re such polar opposites. In addition to that, the fact that some old school wrestlers believe there’s only one way in which to work a match is ludicrous. News flash: it’s 2018, and professional wrestling is more dynamic and fascinating than it has ever been before. Get used to it, and stop living in the past.
