Anytime Razor Ramon or Triple H would set up the Razor's Edge or Pedigree too close to the ropes to actually do the move, thereby totally telegraphing they're going over the top.
Same goes for the steel steps.

The good ol' ref bump. Seriously it's overdone as hell. It makes it look like all pro-wrestling referees are related to that priest in that one episode of family guy who if he gets the slightest bump on his head he's out cold and oh how convenient for the heels how he always manages to come to just in time to catch the face with foreign objects.
And on top of that the referee always holding back the babyface tag team partner while the heels are double teaming his opponent behind the ref's back. Would it really cause a cataclysm in the wrestling business to have referees act competent instead of like bumbling jackasses? Would the universe implode if they had referees not fall over like they were made out of cardboard after an accidental slap or inadvertent elbow?

I remember, like, maybe a year ago WWE handed down an edict WWE refs had to actually enforce the rules. So a few matches actually ended on DQ's and such when they weren't supposed to because the refs had to call the "actual rules".

Oh yeah, the "phantom" women's title switch happened to because of that, apparently. I *believe* Melina was champ and Mickie won the belt and dropped it back to her somewhere in Europe. WWE even mentioned it on air and it's listed on their webpage. Although, I haven't seen the match so I dunno if it was that (it was during that time, though) or if it was planned all along.

I think it was Punk and Benoit vs Cor Von and Elijah Burke that ended like that. The match went about 45 seconds, and then Scott Armstrong called for the bell. I hated the RVD Jerry Lynn spot. The one where the wrestlers keep countering each other, and then pause, waiting for the crowd to clap.

Complaining about the bronco buster while having the sig pic of the only Diva who uses it currently? That's like me complaining about the K2

I hate when a wrestler turns into the absolute slowest person on the face of the earth while climbing over the cage in a steel cage match.

Two words: Bronco Buster Wait... is that supposed to be one or two words? Someone call Joey Styles. I'm not sure if it qualifies as a "spot" or not... but I've always hated that move. First off, seeing one dude thrust his crotch into another dudes face is just wrong. Secondly it was popularized by X-Pac... X-PAC!And somehow its even worse in a woman's match because not only does it appear to be just some skanky way to appeal to the 13 year old male demographic... but they usually miss by about four feet of actually connecting.I still blame the Death of WSX (if R.D. doesn't write this book someday, I'll be very sad) on 6-Pac's use of the Bronco Buster. I didn't particularly mind watching Sean Waltman get his ass kicked by Vampiro, but the moment he hit the Bronco Buster, WSX lost a lot of stock in my book... And yeah, the female equivalent, the Bronco-Buster-that-doesn't-actually-connect, is all kinds of lame.

I'm sure that some of you are familiar with this spot. Wrestler A is perched on the top turnbuckle when wrestler B goes for a superplex. Wrestler C then goes for a powerbomb on wrestler B, while wrestler A gets superplexed at the same time. This spot took place during the championship scramble match for the WWE title, and nearly EVERY EPISODE of TNA Impact a few years back. It looks so damn phony and staged.

I can't stand dives to the outside of the ring for two reasons: 1. Whoever takes them just stands there for a long period of time, waiting for it to hit 2. They rarely connect. Most of the time they only hit one arm on two heels and level them. See i hate when it's a group of guys putting their arms on each other's shoulders waiting for the guy to flip. Another thing i don't get. They send security and agents out to break up an even brawl between two guys who are punching each other, but they never come out to stop a massive beatdown. I.E. Batista/Cena beating on each other for 2 seconds and the locker room empties. Meanwhile, Chuck Palumbo destroys Jamie Noble and nobody tries to stop him.

Anytime Razor Ramon or Triple H would set up the Razor's Edge or Pedigree too close to the ropes to actually do the move, thereby totally telegraphing they're going over the top. Same goes for the steel steps. How is it not enough room to do a Pedigree? All you have to do is jump onto your knees. Although, it is always countered when done by the ropes. Ropes give people backdrop ability. I also misread this and thought "how the smurf would Trips do a Pedigree over the top?"

Moves that take too long to set up.
Moves that require more cooperation from the one taking them than from the one who deliverss.
Moves that are horribly contrived and go against the laws of physics.
So yeah, anything by Rey

It baffles me as to why HHH hasn't figured out by now NOT TO TRY A PEDIGREE NEAR THE ROPES

I don't like when one wrestler goes to the top turnbuckle, and their opponent's manager/partner/whoever shoves them from behind causing them to fall to the outside of the ring where they usually land feet first. That spot just seems made to cause ankle or leg injuries.

i hate: bulldogs royal rumble gorilla press slams! (throw them over the smurfing ropes you knob!) flairs top rope getting caught Hogan "hulking up!" (gay, gay, super gay!) any samoan who gets headbutted then just looks back at the wrestler! DON'T HIT THERE HEADS WITH YOUR'S when a ref doesn't see the heel wreslter's feet on the ropes! heel manager grabs/ hits wreslter on the back/ grabs legs all whilst ref back is turned!
