I know it's a Vince thing, but I hate that the titles aren't called "belts" anymore, I mean that's what they physically are.
I hate that almost every new guy comes in without any kind of gimmick of note, and just has a first and last name, no nickname. (Tyler Reks, Darren Young, etc.)

The doors in cage matches. Just make them climb out, for crying out loud.

I also hate the "I've been in a Sleeper Hold for a solid minute and even though I should be long dead, by the time the referee checks my hand for the 3rd time, I'm going to spring back to life" spot. More than this, I hate how if someone uses a sleeper hold or something similar as a finisher (like Dolph Ziggler or Samoa Joe), the ref will only let the hand drop once before calling for the bell instead of doing it the normal three times. Pick a number and stick with it, you fools!

I hate when people misspell names (Zach Ryder, Hornswaggle, etc.) UGH THIS. Hornswaggle irritates me the most. The way I read it in my head just... Ugh. And guys, it's Barreta. Not Baretta, not Barretta. Barreta. Two r's! One t! I hate that people hook the leg for the pin and put no pressure on the shoulders during the pin. The whole point of hooking the leg is to get leverage to make it harder to get off your shoulders and they never do it. Cody's pins are the best, when he wraps the guy's arm as well. I'm guessing he got that from amateur wrestling, and I appreciate that he does it! My own addition: CHINLOCKS/HEADLOCKS/RANDY ORTON MOVES USED BY EVERY STINKIN' HEEL. STOP THAT RIGHT NOW.

I loath when The champs come out first. I just hate it. The person is the Champ make them come out last. IDC if its Cena vs Miz, miz has to come out last. Unless the champ has to cut a promo.

I'm shallow:
Skip Sheffield's face.
Wade Barrett and Batista's ears.
Alex Riley's pecs.
DBD, and Justin Gabriel's beards.
Melina's weird face smile.
Heath Slater's haircut.
Dolph Ziggler's sgt. slaughter chin.
Not Shallow:
Referee's not being an intrical part of wrestling matches anymore. Sometimes we get names, sometimes we don't. and I've been saying we need a heel ref as well for some time now. Some officials just make matches better by how they react and respond during the course of a contest.
Every finisher being some kind of neckbreaker anymore.
the fact that no one rolls out of the ring when Cena does his weak looking shoulderblocks three times in a row. instead they get up and throw a punch that he ducks. you know what this leads to. it's too "set up" with the follow ups. like they were looking for another 'people's elbow' type move, but just once i want to see someone roll out of the ring.
same thing with Hogan. growing up i wanted someone to roll out of the ring when he Hulked Up instead of punching him over and over.
i'd rather see a million clothesline, clothesline, scoop slam, ddt's from Orton than either of those. Orton's move's look crisp, which leads to my final small thing i hate:
Cena's moves look clunky.

When someone slaps on their submission finisher and the opponent reaches the ropes, and they don't instantly slap it on again.

When wrestlers form secret plans which have their details broadcast on live television No intent to start a brand war, But I love TNA when it comes to this, recently they have had the camera situated where it looks hidden camera style making it seem much more believable when heels/face discuss there plans. I'll add after a great long match of nearfalls and kicking out of finishers it ends with a rollup.

The fact that you can call "rollup coming up" and be right about 95% of the time whenever someone jumps on the apron to distract/interfere/complain in a match. The followup of course entailing the face shoving the heel into the person that jumped up on the apron then going for a rollup which often wins. It has become the preferred way of faces getting upset wins against heels, NXT is especially bad with this with face rookies pinning heel pros.

Main event faces are immune to submission holds, and all heels collapse against submission holds very quickly.

I forgot to mention, Glass Jaw Referees. The slightest push knocks them out cold, just enough for someone to cheat and get away with it.

My least favorite thing in wrestling is the classic "duh I'm gonna release this devastating submission hold or neglect to attempt my finishing maneuver because a person is walking down the ramp or, better yet THEIR MUSIC IS PLAYING" spot. Its a lazy plot device that always kills suspension of disbelief.

I'll add after a great long match of nearfalls and kicking out of finishers it ends with a rollup. Yes I love this. Idk why, just feels better. WWE did something similar to this some time ago but i really do wish they would do this more.

I'll also add when face and heels brawl and the heel rolls out of the ring, why does the face never run after the heel? The face always stays in the ring leaning over the rope yelling angrily.

Weapons aren't particularly powerful if the stipulation of a match is NODQ. Finishers don't seem to get it done as well either.
You can take big whacks with a chair outside of the ring, stagger into the barricade, then just brawl back a few seconds later if the match is NODQ or falls count anywhere. In fact afterwards, your opponent can toss you into the ring and hit his finisher and you've still got a good shot at kicking out straight up.

inb4 Rey and Hornswoggle. I hate when people misspell names (Zach Ryder, Hornswaggle, etc.) or refuse to call things by their proper names (Bryan Danielson, The Core, etc.) When Im used to call somebody somewhat its pretty hard to get used to different name... just sain So do you call actors by their real names, or previous character names, no matter the film? The only time(s) I ever do that are if it's Samuel L. Jackson or "the guy who played Napoleon Dynamite."

Any cage match where someone can escape and win, but you know what? I'm going to go back in and beat my opponent up some more, what can go wrong?
Exit and win, then go back and beat them up. You're in a cage, nobody can stop you.

I've never seen John Travolta in a movie, for example, and referred to him as anything but 'John Travolta'. Hell, I can't even name one character he's ever played off hand.
