* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Elijah Burke, who had a brief feud with Taz and then disappeared, never to be mentioned again.[[note]]The non-{{Kayfabe}} reason: Reading about an injury he had suffered that would have supposedly forced him to retire, followed by his debut in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]] as "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero. TruthInTelevision, since this tended to happen to people (Paul Varelans, Joel Hartgood) who faced [=Taz=] in [=ECW=] in RealLife.[[/note]]

** [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl1.html Episode 1]] started with the entire roster coming out to the entranceway to Music/{{KISS}}'s "Rock N Roll All Nite," a reference to how [=IWA=] Japan would have their roster come out to Music/{{Survivor}}'s "Eye of the Tiger." This intro was ultimately abandoned, and, ever since Episode 9, with the ten-bell count for [[Wrestling/CurtHennig "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig]], the only times the show opens with the entire roster on the stage is to honor someone in wrestling who had passed away. Unfortunately, this tends to happen a lot.

Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


** Many wrestlers were either retired or released but did not receive in-universe explanations for their departures. This was partially due to there being LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[http://www.angelfire.com/fl3/jasonsite/jwl66.html Get Your Kicks on Episode 66]] featured HHH walking to the ring with his water bottle until he stopped and spat it out and started shouting "SALT! SALT!" He stormed to the back where he saw [[Characters/WWECommentators Jonathan Coachman]] with a salt shaker. HHH figured that Coachman must have been the one who put salt in his water bottle and started beating him up for it until Coach told him that he didn't do it. The question of who put the salt in HHH's water bottle was never resolved due to the total lack of response to it on [=WrestlingClassics.com=].
