Any contrived setup for the 619. The 619 in general. "Hmm..I think I'll take a breather here on the second rope...whats the absolute worse thing that could happen? A mexican midget kicking me in the fa---BLARGH" ...Can I sig that? XD By all means!~ |I take great pride in knowing it's appreciated

I know it's a long time staple of tag matches, but they really overdo it with the "wrestler is in trouble and almost gets to his partner for a tag but doesn't make it" thing. Nowadays it's pretty much all the matches are.

And speaking of Irish Whips, they don't need to go away, but some guys really need to work on making them not look so damn fake. If someone can find that video of Scott Hall being Irish Whipped into a truck or something in WCW, and he has to run about 30 feet after being whipped, it was the most ridiculous spot I've ever seen. A spot I hate, just because it is always so blatantly contrived, is in a tag team match when the face team makes a tag with the ref's back turned, he will always force the guy out of the ring, but the heels will go in and out of the ring without tagging and ref does nothing. See: any Rock n' Roll Express match.

Cena's 5 moves of Fail. Used to be the end of the match, now its the AA getting countered.
Orton slapping the mat before going for the RKO. Because he Never. Ever. Hits it.
Trip's facebuster. He's been doing it for a decade, I think people would have figured it out by now.

Triple H trying to Pedigree someone right next to the ropes. Cerebral Assassin, try to think before you act.
"Skinning the Cat" when there are no consequences for being ejected from the ring. It just look really, really stupid.

Otherwise, it leaves them even more vulnerable than a spill to the outside. I did like Big Show punching JTG in the face when he tried it during a tag match. Hysterical.

Anything that only ever happens in Wrestler X's matches to set up his signature move, like the 619 as mentioned earlier. People's Elbow, the Worm, the Stinkface, etc etc etc.

Teasing the superplex. It happens far too often, where one guy has control of the match and props his opponent up on the turnbuckle, only for the other fellow to get a second wind, kick him down, then hit some move off the top rope.
It just annoys me. I want to see the damn superplex. Especially when it involves guys who don't usually do aerial moves.
EDIT: And in the 619's defense, it does seem to usually be set up by Rey specifically drop-toeholding the other guy onto the second rope, so it's not a complete coincidence that his opponents keep ending up in position for Rey to hit his finisher.

True. It's not like the guy just decided to take a breather there or something. He'll also dropkick them into the ropes, etc, so if it seems convenient, golly gee, maybe a wrestler would TRY to get his opponent in position for a finisher.

The flying nothing. You know, guy goes up top. jumps toward his opponent in a basically standing position so that his opponent can punch/kick/slam him. I always thought this was dumb. I’m thinking, “Well what exactly were they going to do if they hadn’t been caught?” I agree. Any contrived setup for the 619. The 619 in general. "Hmm..I think I'll take a breather here on the second rope...whats the absolute worse thing that could happen? A mexican midget kicking me in the fa---BLARGH" YES. I came in here SPECIFICALLY to say this. It’s ridiculous when you never see anyone in this position in any other match, but suddenly in a Rey Mysterio match, wrestlers ALWAYS inexplicably find themselves in position for it. It’s too contrived for me to be able to suspend belief. Likewise, I also thought it was stupid in Rikishi’s matches when his opponents would always somehow get in position for a Stinkface, when you never saw it in any other match.

The Rock would use a spinebuster to set up the People's Elbow though, or sometimes he'd do it after a Rock Bottom where he's basically just adding insult to injury. I just remember one I don't believe has been mentioned yet. The scissor kick, where the opponent is bent over and stays in that position obviously waiting to be kicked. So phony.

I don't mind so much if they're at least quick about it. When Booker and R-Truth mug for the camera for what feels like 45 minutes, though, I cry foul.

Double standard refereeing in tag matches. Heels switch out behind the referee's back with no noise; nothing happens. Heel #1 claps hands & Heel #2 enters the ring, no problem. If a face makes an unseen tag, "I'LL DQ YOUR ASS IF YOU DON'T GET BACK OUT!"
I've always hated that.

It’s too contrived for me to be able to suspend belief. I disagree becuase its very explainable. Rey's move is the 619 and he needs them in that position. Almost eveytime, Rey gets them to that position on the ropes intentionally with the move previous to it. He is basically setting up for his own finisher. No one else uses the move so no one has any reason to put their opponent there.

619 is bad.
I hate the 5-knuckle shuffle for the same reasons as the Worm. Plus, the name itself is just not right.
Slamming a guy's head into the padded turnbuckle has never seemed right to me. As George Steele would prove so often, the turnbuckle is probably the softest thing in the entire ring/floor area.

Plus, claim that it only ever happens in Rey's matches is wrong as well. Christian has a frequently-used spot which has the same "opponent rests on the middle rope for a while" setup. Mark Henry also uses that spot from time to time.
