I'm glad the Law's gone to messageboard form (amused about John and Wai singing its praises since they're technically going backwards with their social media).
Hopefully this can lead to peaceful discussion like facebook and not the flamewars most forums turn into.
But let's call a spade a spade, these guys are quite picky. What common argument are you tired of hearing? or just feel is blown way out of proportion?
One more thing. I know the guy's argument for WrestleMania is "you're lowering your standards" for enjoying WrestleMania, but come on. When's the last WrestleMania they've given a thumbs up to since 2005? You'd think they'd know by now to not get their hopes up. Usually backlash (now extreme rules) is better. It's basically WrestleMania: the revenge. Rematches from the Mania without the bullshit from Celebrities.

I'm tired of hearing about how MMA does everything better than WWE or TNA.
They come across as a bunch of ignorant UFC fanboys who are bored of wrestling in general and would rather be using their platform to talk about an entirely different sport.

The topic i'm most annoyed hearing about is "this is the thing that finally turns Cena heel". I get it, everyone over 8 wants Cena to heel turn, but guess what, we were saying that in 2006. It's now 2012. It's not happening, nor is it ever happening. I can't fucking stand these circular conversations that ends up the same, you were wrong, he's not turning! The IWC needs to move past this lol.
Generally I find JoPo far more nitpicky about stuff but Wai generally counter-argues a more casual/happier approach so both points are given, and it's the best of both worlds. And it's funny to hear the guys over-analyze/argue over really trivial things, that's when the show is at it's best imo.
I also am sick about how i should give MMA/UFC a chance. I do try but the internet's not the place to go try chat about it, UFC funboys (get a room, ya?) are such condescending assholes to wrestling fans. That and MMA fighters i warm to either retire or get busted. It does make me sad hearing MMA crowds go nuts, it's how wrestling used to be (although we've been blessed with great crowds recently). It's funny to hear Meltzer on the LAW perk up whenever he gets to chat about MMA.

For me, I hate when people give out about a lack of blood.
Blood can be used as a very lazy story telling device in wrestling. Does anyone care when Flair or Hogan blade anymore? It adds no tension to matches, since we're so desensitized to it now.
By making it that blood is so, so rare, it means when we do get it (even if only by accident), it means so much more. The use of blood last night on Raw (I'll avoid too much detail in case of spoilers) made my excitement in that program shoot way up. It added to the story. Now imagine if we then saw Ziggler blading in the next match, Jericho bloodying up Punk after that, Tensai causing a jobber to have a crimson mask, etc etc.
A lack of blood makes blood special, something it wasn't a few years back. I also think that by not using it, a lot of stories have to find different, more fresh ways to create a "babyface in peril" scenario, rather than just resorting to an easy gasp with blood.
I got my fill of the red stuff during the attitude era. I'm quite happy to see it only once or twice a year.

Not too many nitpicks for me, finding the LAW and Review a Wai was one of those 'jackpot' moments that reminds us that, sometimes, the Universe is really, really fair.
One thing I find aggravating happens during the phone interviews. I'm grateful that these guys are even able to give an interview and I'm grateful to the LAW for conducting them but there are times when the host inadvertently may 'step' on the guest making for those awkward moments where both guest and host do the 'no, you go ahead...' dance.
Just an example, during the Rick Martel interview (at 90 minutes a fantastic listen btw) there were a few instances where Martel was speaking and Dan, in his eagerness to ask a particular question, cut him off.
Now to be fair, I have never had the opportunity to interview anyone so who knows, maybe there's a particular pattern to follow and this is just that. You have X amount of minutes to record and while we'd all love to hear hours of stories there is a time limit. Perhaps the interruptions are just a way of steering the conversation back into the established frame of what needs to be produced.
But like I said, it isn't that big of a deal....it's just that I've always found phone interviews incredibly awkward to listen to.

Going from facebook, which sells your information, to a site that doesn't, is going back? Lol.

Bringing up Cena's smiling (smirking) is not a nitpick in the least. It drives me nuts every time he does it. The man needs to realize that it communicates to the audience that he's not taking the feud seriously and so we shouldn't either.

So, having seen the poll options I instantly assumed what the question would be and picked "Cenas inane, simpleton grin" - turns out the question was completely different so, my actual answer is:
Nothing at all.

My complaint is: One thing is "good" one week, then it sucks the next. Two weeks after that, it's "good" again and they're "really happy with what's going on with this angle".
I understand Cena smiling every time someone tells him they just killed his parents.
I understand the retarded super barbie effect
Blood, I really don't care about. That's been overkilled in the late 90's/early 2ks, that it just doesn't have it's "holy crap" effect anymore and it's not needed to begin with.

Honestly, I haven't listened to the show in a while. Too much hatred towards WWE. WWE isn't perfect by any means but it feels like it's kewl to rage on WWE because they're EVIL and STUPID. I feel like there's always something to enjoy but you wouldn't know it by listening to the show. But ROH is okay because Davey Richards no sells top rope dragon suplexes (***** WTF?) and MMA rulez.

I'm tired of Jason coming off like his dislikes the callers on the show, except for the 2 most annoying callers: Rob from NJ, and Dave "I dont know" Meltzer.
