Is it just me or does it feel like this line is used WAY too often?
I feel like those 5 words, in that order, are said far too much. Perhaps it is just lazy creative teams who cannot come up with something better for the wrestlers to say. It's sort of like the boy who cried wolf. I'm sure you all remember that story. The more something is said, and then it doesn't happen, the less seriously people will take it the next time it is said. That's how I feel about wrestlers using the "I'm gonna end your career!" line. Very rarely, IF EVER does someone's career actually end after a match where "I'm gonna end your career!" had been said in a promo leading up to it.
It could be a lot more effective if it was used less, and only during the buildup for more intense matches where someone's career could actually end, at least within kayfabe. However the line has been used a LOT more frequently lately, and I just cannot take it seriously at the moment. Back when Orton was legend-killing it made more sense, but these days when someone randomly says it during a promo on TNA, it just doesn't sound like a threat that can be taken seriously.
Do you think the line "I'm gonna end your career!" is used too often or not, and why? Discuss.
In my opinion the creative teams need to come up with something better for the wrestlers to say instead of using "I'm gonna end your career!" so often. Does anyone else agree with me on this?
(This was not necessarily a rant.... Just something I have noticed a lot more lately, and I thought it could make for an interesting discussion.)
