RVD buttsweat. Back in the beginning of the WC Forums, that was pointed out to me, and once pandoras buttsweat box was opened, I could never unsee it.
It made me hate RVD. Oh, and his 5-Star Frog Splash selling, hated that too.
Jericho calling spots, the motion to the ear he does when tying up with someone. Takes me out of it.

Any wrestler who stops wrestling in a match if they hear their enemy's theme music hit in order to look at the stage while ignoring their opponent. It makes sense in so far as they'd probably rather lose a match than get the shit kicked out of them by two guys, but it does bug me when they take ages with it. A distraction ending is annoying, anyway, sometimes, but it's grueling when they take like 30 seconds for the rollup or whatever. It's not a surprise to the audience, it's just wasting time. Im gonna take this all one step further and mention how much I hate a wrestlers theme playing while he runs out to interfere, ever. It ruins the moment. A match should just be going on when out of nowhere a guy enters the ring and starts pummeling an unaware opponent. The crowd should spend a legit second trying to figure out what is going on. |

It depends on the wrestler, for me, and the purpose. Some guys, like Austin, their music was a huge pop, but if you're not going to get that kind of reaction, or if you want to have a situation where the guy's not out there to hit their finish and pump the crowd, then no music makes sense. Like if you're there to just beat the shit out of the guy, cutting the pomp and circumstance makes sense. (Unless you're Savage, then by all means, make with the pomp and circumstance  ) |

A monster, say Kane, is coming out walking down the ramp to just kill whoever is in the ring, say a female wrestler a she just backs into one of the corners looking scared instead of JUST GOING THREW THE ROPES to safety. And while she is looking "scared" all you here is an announcer, usually J.R. saying "you better run" or "(insert wrestler's name) needs to get out of there!" and I am like Yea, why doesn't she run?

Dean spamming the reverse lariat. Easily top of my list. I have seen other wrestlers do that move and nothing, I see Dean do it and I immediately have to look away.

Bobby Roodes hip swivel/fluttering hands when he does the glorious taunt. It reminds me of Val Venis, but it fit with Val cause his character was all about sex. When Roode does it, I'm like, "but why." This is indicative of a big issue I have of things guys do that don't fit their gimmick at all. Loads of guys out of the UK have gimmicks then go wrestle a generic vaguely European style indyrific match that is totally unsuitable to the gimimick. It takes me right out of their matches. Majority of the WWE signed UK guys are terrible for this. You actually have a point here. Pete Dunne I feel like has a moveset that fits his gimmick, Trent Seven too, but Tyler Bate has this old-school 30s strongman thing going and some of his moveset, like the airplane spin, works for that. But the rest of his moves are modern flippy guy moves and it doesn't scan, and I say that despite loving the guy. Jay Briscoe being booked on any show. Yup. ROH aren't getting a penny out of me until they stop booking that homophobic piece of shit. |

The goofy thing the Killer Bees and Hillbilly Jim would do where they'd be face-to-face with an opponent and clap their hands behind the guy's head. "HE RUNG HIS BELL!" Mr. Perfect's spot where he got flung into the corner and "hit the post" was never anywhere near the post, and he overused it. Makes sense for a bear hug counter (though why you wouldn't just actually beat on the guy's ear with your elbow or fist has to be put down to wrestling logic though) but not for a general attack |

Everyone has their signature spots and they have to be done so people will know to pop for it. It's Dean's move so Dean has to do Dean's move. Just like Orton will do the "scoop" powerslam... Bryan would do the Yes Kicks, Miz will go for his corner clothesline, etc. |

Kinda like how I went to a RAW and they didn't do the Bray Wyatt firefly entrance... I felt burned. All I wanted to do was hold my phone up and be a part of the fireflies. |

If I remember correctly that was the reason Ric Flair basically demanded to do all of his spots in all of his matches. He went to see a show and a wrestler was known for doing a signature spot and that night for whatever reason he didn't and he never wanted to bum anyone out like that. |

You can chalk that up to "deer in headlights", along with being hesitant to take their eyes off of the monster. Still, it can definitely get milked too long and make the person look like a moron. |

I don't like when people run into the turnbuckle for "momentum" as if they're running the ropes. They have no give so you can't "bounce back" and isn't hitting them supposed to hurt? Bray and Daniel Bryan both do it off the top of my head. It's annoying.

Wouldn't that be neat... if you had a broadcasting chip in your show with your music, and places had 'receivers' that sensed the chip and played your music as you entered the room... I'd want this to start playing: |

I remember being annoyed by just how slow Randy Orton was entering the ring to beat up an already unconcious Cena.
Big Show and Chris Jericho had just given Cena a huge beating literally laying him unconcious.
As they left Randy Orton entered but was just so annoyingly slow, You probably could have fit 2 Undertaker Wrestlemania entrances in.
I just remember being like "Just get in the damn ring and beat him up you idiot!"
When he did finally get into the ring, Cena wad miracle lastly recovered again and beat up Orton.
Guy made himself look like a right idiot.

I hate that John Cena won’t co-sign a mortgage loan with me. Same with The Rock.
