* The opening music to the ''Tough Enough'' revival, which sounds less than suited to a pro wrestling show.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37jA7R_sCqw WWE Over The Limit 2011's promo] which feels more like a commercial for Viagra more than a PPV.
* After [[Cody Rhodes (Wrestling)|Cody Rhodes]] moved to ''SmackDown!'' he adopts the "Dashing" gimmick. Following a few months being [[Laughably Evil]], he [[Took a Level In Badass]]. He attacks foes with his face mask in [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown|No Holds Barred Beatdowns]]. So what's the narm? Well, when he talks about the ugliness he sees he puts paper bags on people. Symbolically he's covering the "sinful" appearance of others by doing this. In reality, the idea of [[Cody Rhodes]] gaining vengeance by placing a paper bag on his foe's head is truly humorous.
** Everyone's extreme enthusiasm to wear the bags and seeing people on the front few rows sitting jauntily with them over their heads doesn't help with Cody's intimidation either.
** The commentators refer to it as the "ultimate humiliation".
