if you're going to use examples like those with Vince, professional wrestling jumps the shark every week, I know some people like to make themselves feel better about what they're watching/like to think they should be aiming for the same standard as The Wire or something but that's ridiculous, it's usually the most ridiculous, over the top stuff that's the most entertaining (see: Bedpan McMahon, Eric Bischoff's mime selling when Sting showed up in a helicopter, Batista's overselling, R-Truth and Miz this week and so on) and some (well, quite a bit) of it simply falls flat. Now if we're talking about stuff that isn't so much "character based"/somebody doing something daft and talk about things that are just straight up preposterous then fair enough, stuff like Robocop, Rick Steiner vs. Chucky and so on
