Description: Stuff that bugs the shit out of me.

Bear in mind, I probably think WAY to much abiut stuff like this.
I've been thinking lately about plot holes. I was having this discussion with my cousin, about the massive Magneto-Hideout plot hole in X3 and it was weighing on my mind. And then my brother went off on me about Orton showing up on Raw for no reason - and I got to thinking - weird shit just keeps happening on WWE TV shows.
First of all - I'd like to point out - I've no problem with Orton on Raw - but I'd like an explanation. "My contract ran out" doesn't cut it. When I was doing the EWR gig - I said a worker had an OVERALL WWE contract, and a Raw/Smackdown one. An explanation goes a long way
Anyway.
Plot Hole.
Where do all these people come from? I mean, seriously. The most recent thing is the Kane thing. Lookit the fake Kane. Who lets a 7ft man dressed as Kane 1998 into a building, wander backstage and make his way to the ring? Did security stop him anywhere?
For that matter, how did any of these people get jobs? Who gives somewhat mentally disturbed people jobs like this. I mean, Matt Striker - they sorta said well, here's a guy who was a teacher who wanted to be a wrestler, now he's a wrestler. Fine. At least it's an explanation. When Orton debuted, again, they said, "Lookie here, here's Bob Orton's kid and he's gonna be like his Daddy". But most of these people just....show up. I don't get it.
Does this make any sense?
Also, my other favourite plot hole - workers getting arrested - yet miracously showing up at shows in Canada/abroad, despite supposedly having a criminal record

How a face change always leads to you being automatically accepted by all the other faces in the WWF. That one always drives me nuts.
The whole who sees what backstage. TNA thankfully finally solved that issue with the Shelley Cam for outside the arena stuff.
How HHH can continue to get title shots when he loses 3 or 4 title shots in a row. That would never fly with a real contenders ladder.

Well, I wouldn't call "who lets them backstage and cues up their music" a plot hole necessarily, but just a LOGIC IN WRESTLING.
I believe we started a post like this once.
The winner of everything will always be two words: Irish Whip.

My favorite's still the Magic Office. GM, owner, etc sets up an office for a two hour show at every arena. He hangs up the same picture, coat rack or suit of armor. We're supopsed to belive that this is a magic office with portals into every arena--like Loki's in "Acts of Vengeance".

Michelle McCool lost the Diva Search, hung around for a few weeks, went and became a TEACHER, and is now back........?
Granted I'm...ahem...hot for Teacher...but that's a little strange
