The Scarred One
The Greatest of All Time
If someone has posted anything similar to this, I apologize.
As wrestling fans, we enjoy watching the action that we see every week. But on some occasions, there are moments that, more often than not, can make us scatch our heads in confusion and ask ourselves "what the fuck were the writers or bookers thinking?!" Whether it was a swerve or twist no one saw coming or a face/heel turn that came out of nowhere, there have certainly been a lot of these.
I'll give an example of something that made me perplexed.
It was right after Randy Orton won the World Heavyweight Championship and got kicked out of Evolution. Now it became obvious at this point that Orton was now a babyface and he would begin feuding with Evolution, mainly Triple H. To combat his former friends, instead of becoming a one-man army, he found allies in Maven, Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho. Looking at it one way, this was necessary for the story to progress. But how it went down made no sense.
It seemed like right after he was kicked out and joined up with Maven, Benoit and Jericho, there was no tension between them. If you recall some of the backstage segments, Orton talked to them as if he had been friends with them for years, even though he was kicking their asses unmercifully months earlier. You'd figure that not only those three but the rest of the RAW locker room would've been a little wary and untrusting of Orton, considering he was Triple H's and Ric Flair's protege. That at the beginning, either Jericho or Maven would say that they didn't trust Orton and they would rip him apart if he tried anything suspicious. But there was no tension or bad blood. Instead, they were all buddy-buddy.
Now, a lot of you might be saying that I'm thinking too much into this and that it's just a TV show. I for one am willing to suspend reality for the sake of entertainment, but I'm not an idiot. And it just didn't make sense to have one of the top heels on RAW who pretty much pissed off the rest of the RAW wrestlers with his actions to all of a sudden become good buddies with the majority of them as if nothing happened.
But what about you guys? Past or present in any promotion, what wrestling moments have made you scratch your head in confusion and go huh? You can list as many as you want.
