* LampshadeHanging: His apologizing for jokes that didn't work. An example, from the Doom (Wrestling/RonSimmons and Butch Reed) vs. the New {{Wild Samoan}}s ([[Wrestling/{{Rikishi}} Fatu [Rikishi]]] and the Samoan Savage [The Tonga Kid/Islander Tama]) match in his [[http://www.kayfabememories.com/TapeReviews/starrcade/starrcade89-2.htm review]] of ''NWA [=Starrcade=] 89'':

** In his [[http://wrestling.insidepulse.com/2002/08/28/4918/ review]] of ''WCW Bash at the Beach 99'', there were three matches (Wrestling/DeanMalenko-David Flair, the Junkyard Invitational Battle Royal, and the "boxing" match between [[Wrestling/RoddyPiper "Rowdy" Roddy Piper]] and Buff Bagwell) that he ''refused'' to rate.

** His original [[https://insidepulse.com/2002/08/15/4891/ review]] of ''WCW World War III 1997'' dismissed The Faces of Fear (Wrestling/{{Meng}} and Wrestling/TheBarbarian) vs. Wrestling/{{Glacier}} and [[Characters/WCWInvasion Ernest "The Cat" Miller]] in three sentences. In his [[https://insidepulse.com/2004/06/09/5011/ retro re-rant]], he gave it a full review and said, "I feel so dirty but this was a fun match and everybody was working hard."

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: From his [[NotSafeForWork [=NSFW=]]] [[http://wrestling.insidepulse.com/2002/07/30/4814/ review]] of ''[=XPW=] Baptized In Blood 2'', for which he employed the Hot Pokers Up The Ass system, in describing the Vic Grimes vs. [=Kraq=] match.
-->"Kraq, another one of those high-concept characters, is a militant Black Panther type who has a male transvestite valet named Angel. See, the implication is that Angel enjoys pleasuring Kraq, so the fans can then chant "You suck dick for Kraq" at him and pretend they're actually witty. As a note, when you need setup lines from the promoter, you’re not actually witty. Grimes gets a pair of elbows to start, and a legdrop, and Kraq gets sent into a bed of nails and falls onto Angel. Homophobic HILARITY follows. Five hot pokers up [promoter Rob] Black's ass for resorting to cheap anal penetration humor. Um crap, that doesn't make me look very good. See, irony is only funny until it happens to you. Okay, so scratch that, anal penetration humor is actually funny and very witty. Yeah, that's the ticket. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."

* BrokeTheRatingScale: Normally, he rates matches from DUD to Five Stars. The inversion of this, when matches are REALLY bad, is from -1 star to -5 stars. When things get REALLY, REALLY bad, he breaks out the Hot Pokers Up The Ass system, where he symbolically inserts said objects up the ass of whoever he deems responsible.

** He gave the Gargano-Ciampa match from NXT Takeover: New Orleans six stars.

* FanNickname[=/=]AccidentalMisnaming: Almost always negative.
** Orange Goblin (Wrestling/HulkHogan)
** Pig Slow ([[Wrestling/TheBigShow Big Show]])
** Sgt. Slobber (Wrestling/SgtSlaughter)
** Triple HGH/HHHH (Wrestling/TripleH (Espcially in 2002 when Triple H was ''really'' bulked up.))
** Toad Pettingzoo/Toad Pedophile (Todd Pettingill)
** Michael Cole the Little Goatee-Wearing Bitch
** The Old Age Outlaws (The New Age Outlaws)

** There's also the more ubiquitous "I don't rate battle royales." (Except for the Royal Rumble, of course).

* DanBrowned: If he's mentioned at a "real" wrestling news site (ie, the Observer and the Torch), it's to point out how full of shit he is.
** [[DisproportionateRetribution A tad harsh for a guy who pretty much just publishes his opinions and viewpoints.]] He's just lucky enough to have had a career from of it.
*** That's what he publishes ''now'', because he's hopefully learned his lesson. His first two books are chock-full of bad "history", all presented as undisputed truth.
**** We're talking about the guy who routinely claimed that Raven & Paul Heyman were gay, that WCW "hid" payroll expenses by signing big names to contracts with Turner Broadcasting directly (Hogan yes, everyone else no), and constantly repeated mid-90s RSPW rumours as fact until many just assumed they were true.
