Whenever anyone attempted a powerbomb on Kidman. I think this spot was in EVERY single match he competed in. They'd go for a powerbomb..and miraculously..Kidman would counter into a facebuster.
Other than that..nothing else really bothers me that much.

2nd rope superplex, which is pretty much the only 2-man top rope spot left in the WWE. Yet every single time, you have the announcers saying "What?! What could they possibly be doing up there??"
The "chase your opponent into the corner but he weakly lifts up his leg at the last second, so you eat boot" spot. Nobody really does it convincingly and it's become so overused that it's super-predictable now.

Haha, yeah..I should have mentioned that. Kidman: "Hey, I have this really awesome spot..you have to powerbomb me..and then I can reverse it into a facebuster..the crowd loves it, they totally pop for it everytime!!" Lenny Lane: "...but, I don't DO a powerbomb..like..ever..wouldn't people just know that this is coming?" Kidman: "Nah, its a shock..everytime."

Also, why doesn't Michaels do the spontaneous SCM anymore? It looks a lot better that way.

Note to anybody who faces Shawn Michaels: If you're lying on the mat and you begin to hear rhythmic stomping, it might be a good idea to get out of the ring. this one made me cover my mouth from loling.

I reaaaaaally don't like the spot where wrestler A. is on his back, having to count the lights for 15 minutes, where wrestler B. takes his time running about the ring, doing dance moves, brushing shoulders, whatever. I wouldn't mind the rock's so much if he just went from rope to rope, and then did the elbow drop. But scotty's was the most over the top. I also don't like when magical powers are brought into play. Undertaker magically appearing, or shooting lightning.

Ric Flair, 16 time world champion, 30+ year veteren, arguably the greatest wrestler in the entire universe, as a heel, never did figure out not to climb the top rope and try whatever wacky stunt he was about to try. Ric, if it didn't work the first, I dunno, 90,987 times, why would it work this time?

What was cool was after so many years of failing, he finally hit it during that match where he won the IC title from Carlito. When he hit that, it sounded like a Hogan pop from 1988.

Apart from some of the ones mentioned, one that bothers me is
Face tag team wrestler on opponent tries to get in etc. so ref goes to deal with him, heel tag team has guy in ring on ground and they swap places, not tagging, only one stopping to simulate the tag by clapping his hands together
It's like, it would have taken less effort to actually tag your partner in
And before anyone bleats "Oh it's to get heat, they're heel duh", surely even the kids have to realize the over-complication of the above scenario.........I never hear it get much of a reaction from the crowds anyway

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? You and me would get along well.

Honestly, I hate Hot Tags and the Face in Peril spot in tag matches.
Mostly the face in peril because sometimes it just drags on foooooooorever. Like in the 8 man tag on Raw monday, it seemed like Punk was just geting his leg stomped for like 10 minuets.

Maybe it's not technically a "spot" but I've always hated this scenario, which I've seen MANY times in my years of watching.
HEEL TAG TEAM: One member accidentally hits the other causing a loss..........no harm, no foul. They come out next week like nothing happened.
FACE TAG TEAM: One member accidentally hits the other causing a loss...........somebody's turning heel!

How about picking another wrestler up over your head during a battle royal and then throwing him back onto the mat? A military press isn't going to do much other than waste energy. How about...I dunno...actually throwing him over the top rope?

as much as i love jeff hardy's wrestling, i don't like his whisper in the wind, because i can't ever tell what he's trying to connect with. is is a back/body splash? is it a kick? did it even connect? jeff is awesome, but this spot never made sense to me.

Like in the 8 man tag on Raw monday, it seemed like Punk was just geting his leg stomped for like 10 minuets. Um, it's called 'getting heat'. While we're on the subject of hot tags in tag matches, one thing that's really been pissing me off lately is what the Colons have been doing for the last couple of weeks in their matches: Carlito gets his ass kicked for like 15 minutes, finally makes the tag to Primo, Primo does his wacky 70's offense for like 30 seconds, Carlito gets TAGGED BACK IN and is magically healed of all the offense he took so he can get the win.
