Every week Kane wears a suit, which is fine because he's corporate now, yet every week Kane ends up wrestling, and he wrestles in his dress pants. We know he owns wrestling tights. Either wear the tights under the suit (for impromptu matches) or bring the tights and change into them later (when he wrestles later in the show).

The reason why he doesn't wear the tights is because the tights are a characteristic of "The Demon Kane". WWE wants to pretend that there is a major contrast in character between the Big Red Monster and the Director of Operations when there really isn't one outside of aesthetics. He wrestles the same, he talks the same.

Now I'm imagining him wearing tear away pants and ripping them off mid promo every week for the "impromptu" matches.

Wade Barrett's Winds of Change looks to me like he's Tornado DDT-ing/Reverse STO-ing himself.

Wrestlers wearing their gear when they are not booked to wrestle. As attractive as some of these guys are to look at, I shouldn't see Miz in his underwear just to cut a promo or stand around backstage. I hate this too. It's only a small thing, but it really adds to the personality of a wrestler when you get to see what he looks like outside of the ring; Rock in his jeans and t-shirts, Rock in his $500 shirts and sunglasses, Triple H in the leather jackets, it's character building. And Angle had his tracksuit. I think about this so much lately. There was NO-ONE in the attitude era that walked around in underpants for no reason.

This may be swinging a bit wide for the purposes of this thread, but there is literally not one single thing about Sheamus that doesn't irritate the crap out of me.

While it's not something wrestlers do, it is still something that effects matches and that is referees being so anal about shoulders being down. I've lost count how many times I watch a match, particularly a Diva match where, for example, Nikki is pinning Cameron and if Cameron's shoulder is a centimeter off the mat, the ref will stop everything and make Nikki force Cameron's shoulders down. This is I think another Dunn/Vince rule and all it does is stop the flow of the match. I've seen this happen during sequences where pins are being reversed and the ref does this and for no reason. I can't imagine people are sitting there whining about shoulders not being all the way down and if they are, they are not opinions you should be listening to!
This happened to AJ once and she literally looked at the referee and gave him a look that screamed" Just count the pin you idiot"

Weak ass pins where they don't put any weight on their opponents shoulders (not taunting pins like the one foot pin, they're supposed to be weak pins). It just looks bad. I'd rather see decent lateral presses without the leg hook than 'sprawl on the dudes stomach and hook the leg' type pins.

Roman Reigns getting pumped up when he starts pumping his fists and shaking his hair. He looks ridiculous.

I hate wasted motion. For example, when the cut-off spot involves hurting a guy's arm, and then the wrestler barely focuses on said arm throughout the heat. I mean if you're going to target a body part, why not target the body part. Honestly 90% of the offense should revolve around working on the limb. Maybe a few extra moves to vary things and keep it from being too tedious. Also, guys who don't sell during the come-back. I mean is it really that hard to favor your shoulder or back or whatever between hitting all your big moves? For a company that won't shut up about how they "tell stories", basic psychology like this is really lacking from most of the roster.

Headbutts.
There's no place for them anymore in the world of actually caring about the effects of concussions. They either look too fake because you don't come close to connecting, or they actually hit and you risk a serious concussion ... watching Dolph and Bryan trade headbutts back and forth was stupid and makes me think it might be part of the reason Bryan isn't wrestling at the moment and Dolph ... he's had a terrible history of concussions and hearing him on Talk is Jericho trying to remember details was painful as he really struggles with memory ... it wasn't easy to watch him throw reckless headbutts.
They can leave wrestling and I'll be happy.

Paige constantly yelling "THIS IS MAUYH HAWUSAH" are you sure you're not watching the show dubbed in Taiwanese? At most I hear "THIS IS MY HAUS!" maybe even "MYE HAUS!".

I'd rather see decent lateral presses without the leg hook than 'sprawl on the dudes stomach and hook the leg' type pins. Pins in general are something I pay a lot of attention to. The "must hook the leg" policy is so dumb, because it's an extra, unnatural step sometimes, and guys get lazy so they hook the leg but still make a completely crappy cover. Speaking of which, John Cena (and now Nikki Bella by osmosis) does that thing where he posts his hand under the guy's shoulder as soon as he gets pinned, it's so easy to see when he's bracing to kick out. And to end on a positive note, Dolph Ziggler is really great in the pinning department. You'd think that skill might have him win more often, but what can you do.

When a guy is supposed to be selling and they wipe sweat out of their eyes, adjust their balls, kneepads, tights, wipe snot from their nose......they also do it when the camera is on them. Lex Luger is infamous for this. He'd be selling a hard slam, yet had enough time to fluff his hair before getting up and making the comeback. But the lack of selling on a comeback irritates the heck out of me, especially if the opponent has been working over the leg the majority of the match and their finisher involves using a kick. (Sheamus, fella, I'm looking at you.)

It doesn't happen much these days, but in times past I would get pissed off when a ref would ignore the match to argue with a heel manager who had jumped up onto the apron, in an obvious attempt to distract the ref from counting the three when the face had covered the heel.

I mentioned this in another thread recently, but the fact that there doesn't seem to be much consequential selling of specialty match types like the Elimination Chamber anymore or even matches in general (unless it's for a real injury). Like, look at Sheamus last week for example. The finish of his Elimination Chamber match was powerbomb against the chain wall, powerbomb into the ring, and Shell Shock, not to mention the times he was doing his big moves on the steel grate floor... Could it have hurt him to tape up some body parts, maybe the ribs, and take it a bit slower on RAW the next night? Hell, even Daniel Bryan is guilty of this... Two gruelling matches at WrestleMania with a dodgy shoulder and taking a move so brutal that he was being wheeled out on a stretcher at one point... Nah, he'll just YES! with both arms like usual while carrying this big heavy championship belt tomorrow.
John Cena gets singled out and gets a LOT of shit for doing this type of thing, but the reality is that it's a whole roster problem. How can one buy a match as brutal when the guys in them are seemingly unaffected the next night?
