1. When guys get laid out by some devastating move but still have the wherewithal to adjust their tights or kneepads
2. When guys are out of position for a top rope move so they get into the proper position themselves, instead of their opponent doing something to get them where they need to be.

I don't know if I'd call it a tiny thing, but I hate when babyfaces cut comedy promos after having been beaten up by his rival the previous week. Also guys walking around in nothing but their wrestling gear if they know that they don't have a match. Honestly, why would you even do that? kayfabe wise they could need to be prepared to have a match at the last minute. in Jerichos second book he mentions that you always need ring gear on you as you never know what youll be called up for, so its just taking that preperation to an extreme x

The Bellas' ring attire. The little ruffle thing on the botton looks attrocious.
I also get annoyed by the fact I KNOW Brie has a vaginal tattoo, but you only see a littl ebit of it, so it's there and not there at the same time.

The attempted German Suplex on the apron to the floor spot that Angle always tried to do but never did. The only time I have ever seen someone do it was the AJ Styles vs Petey Williams match in 2004.
Im sure there is more that will come to me but that is the main one spot wise

i always found it irritating when somebody was coming down to the ring and one guy gets distracted for a full 30 seconds so that their opponent can take advantage. Yeah, I know its strange to see someone coming down but focus on the guy who is trying to beat yous senseless.

Well, to be fair to Cena, his wrestling gear is basically street clothes, he just takes his shirt off to wrestle.

When people who don't know wrestling say they "powerbombed" someone when in actuality they did nothing close to a powerbomb but they use that phrase because its the only one they know

When wrestlers go for the back body drop after throwing someone off the ropes. That move has like, a 0.01 percent success rate in the past 10 years. The thing is, you almost never see anyone execute the move nowadays, its always set up to be countered. I sometimes think young wrestling fans (like 10 and under) must be thinking 'why did he bend over like that?' because they've never seen the back body drop actually done. See also: Wrestler's using moves they never normally use solely to allow a signature counter. Rey's Sunset Flip counter, guys trying to hit the crossbody on a giant, or back body drops on Triple H. I'm sure there's others. You never use it normally, so why use it on a guy who you know can counter it? Yeah, that really is it. I mean, if the move was done every so often, it'd work, but I think I've seen it once in... like 10 years or so.

Also, moves that require someone to be on the ground for more than 3 seconds.

When fans spell it "Smackdown!" with the exclamation point. I don't care if it's correct, I hate it.

Rey and Hornswo...wait.
The sheer amounts of moral dissonance we get out of faces these days. We're supposed to boo Cody Rhodes for getting his face smashed in?

Bland babyfaces
Formulaic matches (A big problem for main eventers where each main event babyface seems to have a comeback routine which makes their matches really predictable)
The leap off the top-rope into a lifted up boot spot. I've only seen this look good once when Drew did it. Purely because Drew actually made it look like he was going for a move other than a double axe handle onto a grounded opponent.
Wrestlers doing moves they usually wouldn't do just so their opponent can do a signature counter. (Sunset flip on Rey, Wheelbarrow anything on Rey, backbody drop on Triple H etc)
Promos where a wrestler takes 20 minutes to say something that could easily be said in under 10 minutes. Triple H is a master of this.
Kevin Dunn
WWE forgetting history (Like Trips having already fought 'Taker at 'Mania, Edge having already used the Edgeucator in the past as a finisher etc)
Calling moves wrong (It's a freaking snap-powerslam!!!!!)

The sheer overproduction of the WWE. The more they manipulate the production, the more fake it looks. We dont need the Rumble winner to point at the Mania sign every year.

How signature moves are so so scripted in matches. This goes back to Hulk Hogan's "Hulk up" when every single opponent would go to the motion leading to a leg drop.
Same with Cena. Why must EVERYBODY go for a swinging punch!?!? Don't they watch the same matches we do? 99% of the time, John Cena will duck and do a swinging backdrop.
Same for Rey Mysterio (stop falling onto the middle rope damn it!!) and HHH (back body drop anybody?)
Also every year the sheer amount of attention shown to the hanging WrestleMania sign drives me nuts. Every camera angle has it in shot. Wrestlers slowly point and/or stare at it. I think every year it has gotten worse.
The WWE should have a picture-in-picture option with 1 camera only focused on the WrestleMania sign.

I know everyone bashes the Wrestlemania sign thing but I still love it.
It puts over the show as the ultimate goal it is. I'd rather Wrestlemania have that recognition than not.

When people who don't know wrestling say they "powerbombed" someone when in actuality they did nothing close to a powerbomb but they use that phrase because its the only one they know I always hear this, but with "piledriver" instead of powerbomb. I've seen people call a suplex a piledriver before.
