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. I love Online Onslaught's name for it, the Blarney Boot. I don't know why, but it makes me laugh.

I hate when guys don't sell submissions when they're in them. I think it was one of Del Rio's matches with Truth where Del Rio hit him with the his finisher and Truth just laid there, waving his hand around and not at all selling with his face or body language that it was hurting him before he tapped.
I hate when refs are out of position on roll-up finishes, they're supposed to work because they surprise they guy and if a guy's already down for a couple seconds before the ref even starts counting it kills the suddenness of it.

Main event faces being pushed as invincible. It's OK to let the heels win too. This treatment is extended to Big Show as well, which annoys me even more since he's in the midcard and pretty much the rest of the Smackdown midcard are heels who're half his size. It gets old after a while... Smackdown is a terrible offender for the last year or so of this!
I dislike generic finishers... it makes me think the WWE has no plans to keep any former nxt rookies past the end of their stables.
I dislike the need for michael cole to remind us of every little detail of the match rules every match!

When Im used to call somebody somewhat its pretty hard to get used to different name... just sain Oh I know, but there are people on other sites I go to who REFUSE to call Daniel Bryan by his WWE name. And on here, the amount of people refusing to add a 2nd "r" to the name Corre astounds me. Really? It "astounds" you that people would spell a word properly than use the WWE's stupid spelling?

I dislike the escape factor itself of cage matches. I don't think escaping throughout the door or over the top should win the match. it seems a bit illogical for two people to hate each other so much, they finally have a big fight, and then let it be decided by can be the first to run away? a cage match shouldn't be a flee from a fight match. the cage should be there to prevent interference and force the cowardly heel to take on the face without being able to roll out of the ring and catch breathers.

I get the point of escape rules, but it backfires. The point is supposed to be "You beat the guy so badly that you can climb out, and they're stuck locked in a cage! Point and laugh at the loser locked in a cage, audience!" But it doesn't really work.

One little thing that bugs me, while I'm at it.
Heels who aren't willing to make an ass of themselves and get humiliated in front of the fans.
People complain that heels don't get to be dominant badasses and such, but as a heel, a wrestler shouldn't be the things that the audience wants to be.
The heels should be the whiny hypocrites who act like Matt Hardy on a youtube video. The ones who throw Jericho or JBL-like tantrums. Even when they call someone else out, they should be undesirable people.
A lot of wrestlers take themselves too seriously to pull a JBL, Jericho, or even a Douchebag Dave (which was why it was the best work of Dave's career). Some of them seem to be getting better about it, though.
Looking back at it, that was probably the reason a lot of "Monster" heels had managers back in the day. Not because the heel _couldn't_ talk, but so the guy that _did_ run his mouth could get embarrassed and beaten and could freak out, and nobody would want to make excuses for him.

The fact that Orton doesn't do the *Cue the Doves* pose anymore.

I hate pins where one or both shoulders are clearly not flat against the canvas. And referees who don't check to make sure the shoulders are flush.

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. This is one of the reason's I've never liked Cena. His moves look like a little kid wrestling on his couch, not a top caliber professional fighter, it just takes me out of his matches. The street clothes do nothing to make him more legit. 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. Yeah, Sheamus has had a bad run of finisher names which just don't sound right - Pale Justice anyone? And Brogue Kick just sounds horrible and always sounds like Bro Kick when anyone says it. Personally I like Irish Curse for the boot and Celtic Cross for the Razor's Edge. I'd like to see him do the Fiery Red Hand chokeslam from the indy's again too.

When a wrestler is trying to be all *~*sneaky*~* in the ring (like sneaking up on his dazed opponent) and the crowd starts screaming, etc, but of course the being-sneaked-up-on wrestler doesn't notice. Or like how every single guy ever fails to hear the crowd screaming when HBK was tuning up the band, and they'd still turn around and take SCM to the face. Here's an idea....DON'T TURN AROUND! Every wrestler who faced HBK should have listened to this before the match:

What are some small, insignificant things that just happen to drive you nuts? The thing that inspired it for me is Randy Orton's titantron, specifically the frame with a fiery background with his name written over it in some kind of jagged font. It looks so, so stupid, like the title card for a bad kung fu movie or something. The absolute over the top heel stable (or heel accomplice like Alex Riley) reaction when they've been banned from ring side (we got a double dose of it yesterday). Actually, that's more of a love/hate thing since it is so comical how generic and the same it is.
