That spot where a guy who never goes to the toprope does, leaps off and lands into an upraised boot from the grounded opponent.
I hate that spot so much. The top-rope wrestler never even looks like they're going for a move. They just jump into a boot to the face.
That spot has looked good a grand total of once when Drew McIntyre did it and actually made it look like he was going for a diving foot stomp.

2) Overabundance of black ring attire. Guys, look at some Legends and Hall of Famers. Not all of them wore black. I noticed that seem to start right around 1998 or so. |

That's why Kurt Angle is one of my favorites. Because in the height of the Attitude era, where every wrestler was wearing black, he came out in red, white and blue! |

Suicide dives out of the ring. I hate how the wrestlers just stand there and wait to get hit, how the person performing the move usually misses but everyone goes flying, and I hate that it looks like crap.

Run-ins accompanied by theme music. Aren't those s'posed to be surprises? You have no idea how much this bugs that crap out of me. I get that it's supposed to pop the crowd a little bit more, but it tends to take me out of the moment. |

Talking about the main event, ignoring whats in the ring.
The catapult spot.
The fact that in 7 years nobody has figured out that throwing a clothesline to John Cena after 2 shoulder tackles doesnt work. Cenas offense in general just doesnt look believable. Its too hammy, and it doesnt look like something a fighter would use. His punches are just awful in their exaggeration.

I like Rey, but him using the springboard splash for the win.
Use the leg drop or moonsault more often; I could ,at least, buy into that.

-The champion not coming out last
-The big boot counter as someone comes off the top rope. What were they going for? It looks stupid.
-A lack of entrance gear
-Small guys in the tag team getting a hot tag
-An overabundance of finishers in the Royal Rumble
-Guys not wearing pants during backstage segments

Opponent spots that ONLY happen with certain guys. I call it "The Mysterio Spot," as in "opponent gets knocked into the ropes and stays there to wait for the 619 rather than bouncing off or at least having the wherewithal to slump down off the ropes." There are a couple of others who wind up using that spot, i.e. Christian standing on the guy's back and pulling up on the top rope... but the opponents only ever land in that position for those certain guys who use that spot. So irritating!

It's often mentioned but Cody Rhodes not wearing kneepads just looks wrong. Nobody ever seems to get punished for their actions but at least there's talk of suspensions these days, Jack Tunney wouldn't have allowed such lawlessness. Too many replays and recaps although that probably moving into "big things you hate". Raw Recaps on every f***ing show can suck my ass. Who the f*** watches Superstars or NXT and DOESN'T watch Raw? We already f***ing know what happened on Raw, just get on with the show. EXACTLY! Promoting the top rated show on the ones nobody watches is so damn backwards. They should have Superstars and NXT recaps on RAW to get people to watch those. The other thing that bothers me is the recap of what just happened when returning from a commercial break. Who tunes in and just starts watching during the commercial? |

No intent to flame 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. 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. F - View? with bischoff |

Here's another: the way replays go slow-mo for a few seconds, and then BAM speed up at the moment of impact. What's the point of doing a replay if we don't get to SEE the big move in slo-mo?

- Wade Barrett's trunks saying "Wade" instead of "Barrett" on the back.
- Speaking of Barrett, him not wearing the Mafia coat anymore.
- Heath Slater's straight-ironed haircut.
- All the generic finishers. The ban on "dangerous" moves has made most new guys come in and use variations of the same damn finisher (I'm looking at you, reverse STO).
- Somewhat related to my last point, standard moves as finishers. Nothing currently irritates me as much as Husky Harris using a running senton as a finisher. The fact that this thing ends matches is pathetic.
- Sheamus wearing that dumbass cape and crown.
- Kane's lack of eyebrows.

The idea that every Indy star who doesn't cut it in the big leagues is a victim of booking/creative.

The Brogue Kick. Not the move, but that name. I mean.... really? Sheamus is Irish, so we're just going to take the first Irish cliche we can think of and slap it into his finisher name? Why not "Potato Famine?" Why not "The Kick of Extremely Green Grass?" No, we're going to name his kick after a vocal accent?
I know "Brogue" is also a type of shoe, but... he doesn't wear them. If he did, that would make some kind of sense. That name just infuriates me.

Walking around in T-Shirt and Trunks, Every fricken wrestler does it now.. Do they realise how stupid they look?..Stick some bloomin Trousers on already or atleast a pair of Shorts or something. I second that, and add that almost everybody makes it their ring entrance gear now as well. Doesn't anybody have a jacket or robe they could wear instead just to mix it up? |

My girlfriend hates pro wrestling and thinks it's ridiculous that I watch it. She happened to be over today as I was watching RAW and burst into laughter when the Nexus came out. She couldn't for the life of her figure out why nobody was wearing pants. |
