Bizarre wording is one of the worst for sure. Like losing a match being called “jobbing” and sabotage/insults being called “burials.” “Strap” instead of belt. “Promo” instead of interview. “Gimmick” instead of character. Weird lingo that no normal person would ever use, but for some reason Vince decided those were the words to use in wrestling.

That one has always kinda bothered me.

Continuing to let people appear on his television show who can't speak. Routinely allowing 30 minute matches with no story to tell. Women's wrestling (See number 1 and 2 on my list for further details) That's a bold take 😬 I don't think I've seen the wildcard rule mentioned yet. That was a trainwreck. "I'M A GENIUS!"

Yes! “If you’re ribbing me, we’re gonna have heat and I’m gonna bury you to the office!” Utter nonsense, a senile madman creating his own bizarre slang that has lost all contact with reality.

Good point. I guess Vince isn’t the first wrestling person to create weird slang words for stuff. In retrospect, it seems silly to complain when he does it.

Here's some:
1. Not wanting commercial breaks interrupting matches...so they started booking multiple 2/3 falls matches on Raw & Smackdown 2. The Wild Card Rule 3. The awful brand splits 4. The Universal title 5. Making John Cena's spinner belt title the main WWE title design

Pretty much anything he has ever done. VKM is the best and worst thing to ever happen to wrestling. LOL, yeah, ok. Without Vince there would be no mainstream wrestling. That has to be, in my opinion, the dumbest thing ever said about wrestling. You don't get to be a billionaire by being stupid.

But at the same time sullied it with his "sports entertainment" and cartoon BS.

I don't like the "entertainment" aspect of WWE. And all this cartoony crap with flying turkey legs and Jedi mind tricks. Those are lame.

People debuting with a first and last name then having it dropped down to just their first name. Or, Like Cesaro and Ali, just the last name. Then Mustafa got his back. Then he disappeared. I guess he got Hacked off.

Making Raw a 3 hour show was one thing. Partnering with Tout. Remember that app they used to invest in? Bringing back the XFL. Not announcing Wellness policy violations or suspensions anymore. Putting Samoa Joe on commentary.

Can we consider no special entrance sets for PPVs? That's gotta be my number one least favorite change I've seen in the product.
I also think the 'no blood' rule is lame. People know what blood is. You own the network all of your content is logged on and where you broadcast PPVs. All you have to do is not show replays on RAW or SD if its really the fate worse than death that they make showing blood out to be.

I don’t know about changes, but as far as “absurd” goes, him not making some of his obvious, and talented superstars WWF Champion in the past. I’m talking The British Bulldog, Owen Hart, Farooq, Ahmed Johnson, Razor Ramon, Ken Shamrock, Rick Rude, Ted Dibiase, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, etc. I could go on and on. Yet certain people have been World/WWE Champion 16-18 or whatever times. Was it really necessary for people to win the heavyweight championship that many times?

I don’t like the lack of unique, special entrance stages for PPV’s either, but personally, I’m more annoyed by the dimming (or complete blackout) of most of crowd altogether, and them constantly being drown in red, blue, or occasionally orange lights (for Money in the Bank). I understand that they probably do it to put more of an emphasis on the action in the ring, but it makes it feel super un-energetic, and makes it feel like the arenas haven’t been sold out. I like a brightly lit arena, and actually being able to all of the fans full of energy. Like during the Attitude Era.
