Thank god WWE doesn't really do this anymore but when guys do chain wrestling with no struggle whatsoever. They just go through a set of clearly choreographed moves just so they can do a silly staredown while the fans clap. Almost as if this was all fake... Every RVD match in 2002. *Karate pose* Hoo! |

I miss Raw having scheduled matches like when it premiered. You knew 3 or 4 matches that would happen the next week for an hour show. Now we tune in for a 3 hour show not knowing anything outside of one hasty challenge or something thrown together by the Authority. Yeah, I really hate that. Why watch next week if we have nothing to watch for? I mean yeah I guess 'anything could happen,' but how about giving us something to look forward to? Or better yet, OPEN THE SHOW WITH A f***ING MATCH. Yeah the WWE has been lucky for years that their shows started off with people arguing otherwise there wouldn't be a main event.  Seriously though, the problem with announcing matches is that they have to happen and it's hard to book for tomorrow when you're still planning for today. |

I am just completely done with hot tags. They don't work anymore. Find something new.

Frequent pin attempts at the start of a match. I'll buy that you try to get one over on your opponent and catch them quick, but I hate it when you see someone hit like two moves, go for the pin, get shrugged off and then go for the pin again. If he kicked out at 1.2 the first time, odds are he needs a little softening yet. You didn't pin wrong.
Limb damage being sold for like two seconds. What is the point of working the leg for the entire match if there's no real payout? Stumble. Stumble. Completely fine. At this point in time, we're so far removed from good wrestling psychology that these goofs don't even sell the correct appendage half the time. Watch 80's work. Guys'll hobble all the way through their big comeback. Just what in the hell happened to this simple concept?
Fish out of water. Enough. It was a neat idea for rivals that "knew each other inside and out," but now every geek on the card is liable to go to this one. It no longer has any meaning.
The Kidman powerbomb effect. If you don't use the move, then don't use the move. Screw their dumb spot. Find something else to counter into it. You could consider the flying nothing off the top whose sole purpose is to be countered an offshoot of this.
The let's all bunch up like retards so dude can plancha spot.
The.... eh, enough. I could literally do this all day.

When they look at themselves in the Titantron (is it still called that?) while they're supposed to be either selling or doing a hold.

The hard camera adjusting is my number one offender. I've seen guys waste two seconds that could have counted towards a pinfall by shimmying around to pin the guy from the other side. It's idiotic.

I think every wrestler would be better off if they just stopped wrestling for the camera.

When people lean forward after trowing people at the ropes.
But they do it to early/stay there waiting as the opponent stops and takes his time to kick him in the face.

Kane's continued involvement and constant presence on my tv.
John Cena and his constant pro america propaganda. It was bad before he was US champion, its insufferable now.
John Cena as a wise old sage. Dear god that irked the hell out of me, him calling Owens, kid. Dude you're like 6 years apart!
You know... just everything about Cena annoys me. I can't wait to be annoyed by him for an entirely different reason when total divas comes back on.
Extremely obvious setups for an opponents move. Lots of offenders for that one.
Though it's been a while, Nattie wrestling. I've always hated how slowly she transitions from move to move. It's like watching someone dance while counting steps in their head. You can see her thinking hard and its not natural looking at all.

It really is horrible for the product.
Watch an old school battle royal then watch the one from WM 31 where every major spot and elimination was for the hard camera. Just looks so fake.

If a babyface cuts a promo like Cena on Owens, with "these fans here, they're why we're here, they're the only reason we're here", then proceeds to angle their body so that every move plays exclusively to the hard camera, it drives me nuts.

You could consider the flying nothing off the top whose sole purpose is to be countered an offshoot of this. The one that annoyed me most in this category was people suddenly deciding to stand on the second turnbuckle to punch the Undertaker in the corner. You've never done it before, you'll never do it again, but you've decided to do it this one time? against this particular person? |

The flying nothing irks me because I've seen wrestlers do actual honest to god moves that they have in their moveset. Punk tried the springboard clothesline, Carlito did... some springboard thing Carlito actualy did.
I remember the old version of the Flying Nothing was trying a diving.... standup... off the top rope and getting hit with a boot in the face. Drew McIntyre was the only one I ever saw telegraphing a stomp so that spot looked less like crap.

I actually prefer my wrestling to be fakey, so a lot of the stuff people are sayign doesn't bother me.
But I hate what has become of submission moves. I hate how giving up because of pain is booked as a sign that you're a weakling, and so just hanging out in a submission finisher for minutes on end is just par for the course if you're a face.
There's fakey and there's killing your own drama.

I don't know what's unnatural about that. I often see NBA players give up a chance at an open jumper in the corner so that he can take the ball to the top of the key and shoot a shot that will look better on SportCenter. This is a discussion for another thread, but ESPN has been quite damaging to sports over the past decade. I'd be interested to hear more on this stuff if a thread were to exist, I wasn't sure if that NBA thing was serious since it seems so crazy but Im guessing by your post it's true. Ive only seem small bits of ESPN the few times Ive been on holidays in the US. |

the irish whip in general. STOP RUNNING I've always thought of it as a "rule" of wrestling. Yes, logically, someone should just stop but they can't because the rules state that in person in a match *must* run the ropes if opponent whips him/her into them. Violation of this rule results in lack of tv time, matches, or employment. |
