My pic is a table match.. After the Dudley's left the WWE I can't stand to see anybody go through anything less than a announce table.

any time anything is put on a pole. it's like a ladder match but without the cool visuals/stunts you get from a ladder match. plus, by the time Vince Russo started putting things like tequila bottles, Viagra and Judy Bagwell on a pole the match became a joke. I can't hear ___ on a Pole match without giggling.

Anything that involved Divas in lingerie or swimsuits.
Because these were almost always on RAW or done by the RAW commentators, listening to Jerry Lawler drives me insane.

Cage match not because its a bad gimmick its a great gimmick but it guarantees shenanigans. An i cant enjoy the finish because someone needs to be protected from losing legitimately most of the time .

Pole matches always suck
Cage matches can be good and it's a good gimmick... but been allowed to exit through the door takes away my interest. It always looks stupid when a guy can't manage to walk through an open door or moves excruciatingly slowly towards it then... a few minutes later after his opponent has stopped him, is moving at normal speed and running about again.

The "modern-day" Lumberjack match. Bruce Mitchell of the Torch gave a list of matches wrestling seems to have forgotten about how to properly utilize, and this is tops on my own list.
The purpose of a Lumberjack match is to keep the heel from running away from the babyface when the going gets tough. That way, the babyface gets a fair chance of beating him.
Nowadays, it's just an excuse to get a bunch of guys (or girls) at ringside to have a huge brawl and the match is usually declared a no-contest because the referees can't maintain control.

___ on a pole matches. Even before Russo ran the gimmick into the ground it's guaranteed that the majority of the match is going to be people trying and failing to climb the turnbuckle.

Cage Matches. Mainly when the babyfaces are trying to escape.
GM(to heel): You've been running from your opponent for too long, now you'll meet them... IN A CAGE!
Cut to match and the babyface is trying to climb out...
Why?

It's more the poor execution of gimmick matches that I can't stand, the bloody door in cage matches, sitting outside the ring for way too long in multi-man matches, the stacking of tables in singles TLC matches (what is that for in kayfabe?) etc .

Cage matches.
They've been a snooze fest for years and years now. Not because of anything related to going out the door, but because it seems to lead people to doing the same extremely boring spots. Throwing someone into the fence is like the cage version of a resthold. We have to see this unimpressive offensive move, followed by the person laying there selling it for an hour while the attacker paces around. In fact wrestlers in general seem to move in slow motion in cage matches.

Diva battle royals, because of the "through the ropes" rule that about 98% of participants have to use.
Over the top or not at all, ladies.

I agree about the cage door thing. I dont really like last man standing matches, that's where you have to be down for 10 seconds to lose, right? Just seems anti climactic to me. I remember being so pissed when MVP's losing streak ended when he beat Show in a last man standing match, I remember looking forward to for a while to the big pop he'd get when he finally got a 1-2-3. What we got, I believe, was Triple H coming out and winning the match for him so it was crap in 2 ways.

Last man standing matches. Way too formulaic. Guy hits finisher, opponent gets up at 9. Guy hits opponent with weapon, opponent up at 9. Guy does something retardedly over the top, opponent gets up at 9. Guy hits opponent with bus, match over. 5-6 minutes of the match is the ref counting to 9. Just have a standard no-dq match and let them pin each other.

Last Man Standing Matches. If done properly as just a wild brawl with no near-falls until the very end then it can work. But usually you just get two guys getting 3 counts doing stuff that would be lucky to get a 2 count on a local jobber, then everything stops so the referee can count to nine, killing any momentum or interest the match had been building up to that point. That's just boring. It's even worse that this is usually marketed as a wild, no holds barred feud-ender between two hated enemies.

Nowadays in WWE most stip matches just have me rolling my eyes because barely any feud that utilizes them actually has the intensity that suits the stipulation. Any time we see a Hell in a Cell, not because the feud has reached such a boiling point there's no other option, but simply because the pay per view is entitled "Hell in a Cell" just drives me nuts. I can't remember the last feud that worked its way into a stipulation match.

Last Man Standing matches because they are like 80% standing and waiting for whether a guy will stand up. I end up thinking 'if this had just been a street fight, we could've taken all this waiting time and shoved another match in here.'
