Professional Wrestling/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Hate Dumb: A lot of people hate high flying moves and call them "flashy". What's that? Wrestling moves that please the crowd? How dare they?.
  • Member Berries: The Montreal Screwjob, while infamous and shocking for its time, has become an example of this trope because so many scriptwriters for many wrestling promotions have attempted to recreate its shock value in many angles since, with the worse examples falling squarely into this trope. Most infamously, it was how the Survivor Series world title match of the following year ended (1998), so this was happening already barely twelve months after the original.
  • Uncanny Valley: The effect WWE's "reality era" has on people (well, this one, at least), with some worked-shoots being so confusing that even if they are realistic, they just don't seem right.
