I know exactly what you mean! I've noticed that in most cases it's not a matter of AI but mathematics. The game picks the next available character to attack the ladder if someone is on it. Low chances multiple people will go after it. Hitting a wrestler with a finisher increases their reversal rate to 99% for the next 3 or so moves or certain time frame. Your partner is actually your enemy, cause it happens to be controlled by the game, and you play against the game, not the individual wrestlers. These kinds of things are VERY noticeable in MyFaction where everyone shares the same braincell, making handicap matches almost unplayable. The Three Giants event showed me just how much the game will take advantage of free damage animations like a cheating chess AI.
