Battle Cat when he's in his civilian form ;-)
Oh you meant wrestling? Well I have nothing against Brady Boone. So.....
- Lori Fullington in Raven's flock, at the point where they had her playing a junkie pretty much. - Bill Alfonso's voice (there was a point by 2000-ish or so when they stopped having him shout every one of his promos, which helped a little. Before then, total FFWD material) - Wrestlers, promoters, etc. disrespecting the fans on social media or even in person. - Seeing people who were impolite or worse at conventions or indy shows. (with some of them, it's not just seeing them, but that wrestling shows on TV found value in them or continued to do so despite what they are as people and what they did) - I echo the deathspolitation. Related to that, the time period when all worked injuries were sold like when Owen Hart died. And some seemed VERY blatant as recreations go...Chyna at RR '01, for instance. When Hogan crashed his truck into the Rock in 2002. - Bodyshaming, yep. It's one thing WWE has improved with...closest they came to going back there was the Nia/Bliss feud, and Nia did get to win. Wrestling might be better than Hollywood as far as finding things for plus size women to do now. - Many death match spots...when you can't even look at wrestling violence, they're going too far. And you can't even say it's worked and no one's really hurting/cutting themselves. - Seeing insanely over NXTers be midcarders and worse on the main roster. - Echo the Austin/Stacy thing. And it happened right after he came back, including from what he did with Debra. - For that matter, any time "Sheriff Austin" came out...he was like the Steph of his era, always looked like a million bucks and no heel could get heat on him. Triple H in the Reign of Terror too. Most of ABA-era Undertaker cause you knew copious amounts of no-selling was to come.

Trish Stratus "Bark Like A Dog." If even, at-the-time, a horny, hormonal 15 year old with no sense of his own privilege can watch a segment involving a gorgeous woman in her underwear and tell you "this is wrong," you f***ed up.

Vince McMahon on commentary, hated it even as a kid watching. He just had such a used car salesman quality about him in the booth, just so phoney.

WWE 2012.
Johnny Ace being a major onscreen character. Just...no.
John Cena main eventing p-p-v's instead of CM Punk, even though Punk was in the middle of a long WWE title reign.
AJ Lee being over pushed as f***, even though she was basically a non-wrestler and a heel. That segment where she put both Daniel Bryan and CM Punk through a table by herself to close RAW definitely made me cringe. She even became GM of RAW. I couldn't stand AJ for awhile after.
The Feud That Never Ends with Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus.
The storyline used for Punk and Chris Jericho's match with family drug issues and Jericho slipping on alcohol after forcing it onto a non-drinker. That drinking test in the ring.
The most tone deaf heel turn in recent memory with CM Punk.
That whole year except for Team Hell No and until the Shield debut is pure cringe and that's just what I can remember. I'm sure there are other examples.

I'm watching some RAWs from shortly after they first reintroduced the Roadie as "The Real Double J" in 1996, and I'm physically squirming hearing him sing that stupid song. That awful gimmick went on for a YEAR. Wait, did he do a song OTHER than "With My Baby Tonight" ? I don't even like Country Music and I thought that was a toe Tapper As far as Wrestling related songs go, It's pretty legit

unprotected chair shots is another one, especially if it's to someone who had more issues later on

Listening to Matt Tremont and Jeff Cannonball colliding heads repeatedly at Balls Out this year. Like, I get it, deathmatch wrestling does it's thing, and I had a blast on the show and at all of the crazy stuff that happened in the REDACTED Brightly Colored Plastic Block Deathmatch, but just the sound of that made me squirm, then and now.

Marko Stunt The lack of selling and need for suicide dives in every match - and losing some element of realism, turning into a cirque de solele performance WWE's attempt to suck up for external to the industry media and who they identify as a "celebrity" for the last 15 or so years Total Diva's Bellas The lack of characters, larger than life personalities, im getting tired of the good indie worker but lacks personality Any time the WWE shoves video packages/did you know stats on it shows, patting itself on the back for its charity work, while good, its so cringey them applauding themselves Michael Cole with "Boss Time" and majority of his commentary

Any time they dont respect a wrestlers gimmick. Like when Perry Saturn saying Glacier is just a guy in a costume or Vince saying Mark Calloway was taking his Undertaker character too far during the early stages of the ministry.

Death matches in general, but hitting people with fluorescent light tubes in particular. You can't control how it breaks, you're risking major damage to yourself in both the short term (like what happened to G Raver) and the long term (you could get glass in your eyes, in your lungs, in your blood). And there's MERCURY in those things! You are exposing your blood stream to MERCURY!

Guys in a ladder match spending 5 minutes acting like they can't reach the belt when they are waiting for someone else to come pull them off the ladder or whatever.

Ring apron spots are the worst thing to happen to wrestling in the last 20 years. It was kind of alright when it was used to write someone off of tv for a while but now every match has one and they mean absolutely nothing. Every time someone uses one I think to myself, there's 6 months off that guys career. At the Wrestlecon Supershow last year the opening match was Janella vs. Pentagon, in the first few minutes of the match Janella screams "f*** Jim Cornette" before giving Pentagon a DVD on the apron and 30 seconds later Pentagon was back up like nothing happened. All of this in the opening match. Watching PCO in particular do apron bumps makes me squirm in my seat every time. If nobody has ever seen before he will flip from the top rope onto the apron when nobody is even near him. He just comes crashing spine first on the apron at 52 years old. It's literally the dumbest thing I've seen a wrestler do to themselves in my 29 years as a fan.
