That swapping pinning combination thing where the opponent bridges up every single damn time, the one where you see them preparing for it before the ref even starts counting. It has never ever resulted in a pin. It clearly doesn't work so don't do it! (Sorry I can't think of a better way to describe it, the women in WWE use it a fair bit) I agree with the superplex being in way too many matches, I just want it to be rested it for a while. I hate that pinbridge because it's always followed by a backslide. No one ever mixes it up. First person to bridge out and then attempt a gutwrench powerbomb becomes my new favorite wrestler. |

That'd be pretty great, kind of like how I've always wanted someone able to turn Naomi's Rear View into a German suplex. Honestly, I blame Raw is Benoit for a lot of it. I noticed the pinning combination swaps became MUCH more common after, and I think Malenko vs Benoit is at fault, as they did it a fair bit. They also did it very quickly and smoothly, and most people simply can't do it that fast, and when it's slow and sluggish, it looks like garbage. |

The unrealistic, face palm worthy C4 Finisher.  |

I'm okay with unrealistic finishers. At least that one was pretty flashy. Things like the People's Elbow never made sense to me as a finisher, but I can accept them... to a degree, anyway.

Literally, the only spot(outside of pointlessly dangerous ones like unprotected headshots and such), is the uber lame and contrived setup to the 619. It's so stupid, looks so fake every single time, and the move isn't even that cool to justify it all.

Indie standoffs, tower of doom, and the let's huddle for a few seconds while a guy jumps onto all of us.
Since all of those were mentioned, I'll go with the "I'm a pro athlete but I climb a ladder like I'm a grandpa with two artificial hips and vertigo"
I've only seen Dolph run up the ladder with any urgency

Alabama slam. That move is concussion city. I still cringe thinking about the one someone from PCB (I think) took on the floor at SummerSlam last year. |

It's so stupid, looks so fake every single time, and the move isn't even that cool to justify it all. See, I would be okay with the 619 if they did it faster and more logically. But the problem is when the spot becomes popular, you have to drag it out to milk it for cheers. Then it's just stupid because they're sitting there way too long for that kind of spot. |

I'm starting this mainly because there's one thing in particular I've grown sick to death of seeing. Tilt a whirl head scissors, especially in intergender matches. Everytime a woman wrestles a man it's like there's some law that they must use that move. Between that and cruiser weight style wrestlers it's been done to death. Just stop it. While we're at it let's do away with the old shoulder first into the post after missing a charge. Well, that's my short rant. What spots are y'all sick of? This happens all the time, and always looks terrible. This is the exact spot I was coming in here to post. |

This is a pretty big reason why I've been fed up with Rey for years. It's gotten to the point where he just keeps spamming it 'til it works and man do I hate it. I've also started to hate the ever-predictable finisher spam spots at the end of multi-person matches that end with the original two people back in the ring. I don't mind if it's every once in a while, but it seems like it's happening every time now and it's just gotten boring. |

That said, I am okay with the drop toe hold since it's at least Rey actively setting it up. I hated when it would be guys doing stuff like selling a dropkick by landing there when they never do it otherwise, same with the Stinkface when guys would just get to the corner and fall over. Same with the Bronco Buster. |

Another thing that springs to mind is the propensity for today's wrestlers to often work spots where they spike their head on the mat for a nearfall. Cedric Alexander does it a lot where he gets spiked on his head and sells so hard that he actually leaps from his head back to his feet, then slunks down, it looks cool, it looks violent, and yet it's always a nearfall.
There's a match between Owens/Neville after Owens injured Sami Zayn where they did a top rope hanging DDT on Neville, and he did that exact sell for a nearfall, and later on the injury causing move was the apron powerbomb and it's just so unbelievable. It kind of goes back to Steve Austin's complaint about DDTs in general, wrestlers make them look so heinous now more than they ever have and not a single one finishes people. Any move where they land on their head looks like a crippling event and it never amounts to anything but a cool throwaway move a lot of the time.

I want to see the 'indie standoff' subverted so when they pop up and stare down, the heel just explodes into a big clothesline... like 'what are you standing round for, dumbass!' *boom*
