When there's a big spot and the camera does that dumb as hell extreme quick zoom in and zoom out thing. I get it's to make the spot more impactful but half the time it's just way too intense and it just takes me out of the moment. Wow I forgot in 2013-2014 how Reigns was cool as shit

The cameraman standing on the stage pointing towards the curtain, then 15 seconds later someone interupts the promo/match/whatever. Takes me out of it every single time.

When Cody and Sandow teamed up to fight Team Hell No, I hated that they called them "Team Rhodes Scholars" because like. No. Just call them The Rhodes Scholars stop that. Also like a f***trillion other things because I have OCD and WWE's refusal to be sane, consistent, or come off like actual human beings make decisions or say the words drives me up the wall but this thread shouldn't become a massive shrine to my f***ing neuroses that tests out if Proboards has a character limit for posts.

Battle Royals in which a powerhouse would gorilla press his opponent over his head but instead of simply just throwing him out the big dummy would just slam him in the ring. Davey Boy Smith did this so much I think it's what kept him out of the Hall of Fame.

When a wrestlers in the WWE unnaturally pause. To have one final look at the wrestler they laid out, or the Wrestlemania sign, or laugh at the person they cut a promo on, or look at a belt. Why are you pausing? F U Dunn.

Regular tag teams whose gear don't match. Like, I'm fine with the occasional odd couple-style tag team, but if you tag together more than twice a month, you should coordinate.
Also, if your gear is two-toned, one of you should wear the inverted colour scheme. Like, if the right leg is black and the left is white for one guy, the other should have a white left leg and black right leg.

Refs selling small bumps like getting pushed over or being thrown out of the ring like death.

- Local Medical Facility. Nobody talks like that ever. It's a goddamn hospital.
- Camera cuts during backstage segments, like the contract signing on Tuesday or Braun flipping the truck. Makes it look so overproduced and corny.
- People doing the "we're talking secretly about a secret thing that nobody knows about or can hear cos it's secret" when there's a cameraman right there, who isn't even trying to maintain the illusion since he wanders around to get the best angle he can. Just once I'd love a wrestler to acknowledge and interact with that cameraman. Or more of the Shield-style "we grabbed our own camera" promos.
- Camera cuts to show the crowd watching the Titantron during a backstage segment. WHY ARE WE WATCHING PEOPLE WATCH THE SHOW!?
- Whenever we see the commentators and they're clearly reading from a piece of paper in front of them, but not in a 'rundown of the card' way but in what is supposed to be vaguely natural conversation. Amateurish.
- The announce tables having flatscreen TVs instead of the big ol' monitors. Them getting taken out, and someone inevitably clonked to set up the table bump, was a great little bit.
- Any kind of 'crazy bump' like stage bumps where there is no effort made to hide the fact they've bumped onto padding. If you're not gonna try and pretend, then at least hide the impact with the camera angle so we just see them plummet into oblivion. Falling six feet onto a crashmat looks weak.
....I may have a lot of anxiety in life in general.

I like your list except the last one. I try to keep an open mind about stunts/bleeding etc as it is a live television show in front of an audience with no takebacks. Special effects are what they are in that situation. Story of the match says" ____ fell ____ feet!!" I'm pretty forgiving about FX in general. Bad cgi? I probably wont notice as cgi nowadays has come so far. If the cgi is bad, it becomes camp, which I love! Example. My friend who's a marvel fanboy laughed and derided Justice Leagues mustache removal for weeks until i saw it. I honestly barely noticed, and wouldnt have noticed if that buddy, who's a bit of a douche at times, hadnt spammed me the media mockery of the scene. Mention how flaky black panthers car chase cgi was and he has a million delusions and excuses though

In a Royal Rumble, you have to go over the top ropea and BOTHb feetc have to touch the groundd to be eliminatede.
aDISCLAIMER: Going between the ropes or slid under the ropes not only doesn't count, it's actually encouraged so we can set up a 1v1 shot for our next 10-second countdown.
bDISCLAIMER: Putting items of any sort between the ground and your feet does not count. This includes chairs, food, other people, even shirts. Remember, the floor is lava!
cDISCLAIMER: Handstands and scraping a single foot across the ground doesn't count. If it weren't for the fact we can't really tell when toes or heels hit together, we'd say that matters too.
dDISCLAIMER: Ground is only the floor mats between the ring and the guard rail. Walking along the guard rail or on top of desks (or any items listed in 'c') does not count
eDISCLAIMER: Subject to approval by Vince McMahon, offer becomes null and void if you're going into business for yourself.

Top rope suplexes. I never see them go wrong, but the physical requirement of standing on ropes, hooked to another human, and having to hoist them over your own body and backwards for a five-six foot drop is crazy to me. I always cringe when they go up there.
I hate when they book 2/3 falls matches and then they scramble to squeeze three unsatisfying matches together because they never get time to actually have the match proper.
Still not over all the gimmick PPVs. I used to laugh at TNA for having their lockdown PPV with all cage matches but that looks like such a nice event on paper to me now, just being one gimmicked event that year.
"I spoke to ______ about ______ and he said 'look, _____.'"

"THAT'S THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING!" Trust me, it all sucks.
I can forgive "Local medical facility" because there ARE fans that will go looking for wrestlers in hospitals.
I don't mind if they have paperwork in front of them to "read", just try not to sound like you're reading (coughcoughPercyWatsoncough)
I want to laugh at Cole being totally clueless about the Broken Universe but he's trying way too hard.
Coach's commentary has not improved despite his stint at ESPN. Get him away from the table. "Word of the hour" wants me to throw things at my tv.
