For me it is matches that require the referee to be extra blind and deaf, if not plain dumb. I know cheating can be necessary in a match but when it gets too elaborate it take me right of of the match.

It's usually "interference that is horribly miscued, so everyone has to stand still and wait to get dick punched."

Reaching for a tag, when they could easily tag if both guys would just stretch their arms as far as they could go, or when a wrestler is close enough to grab the rope if he'd straighten his arm but he pretends it's out of reach.

I don't really like when a story element requires guys to lay dead for prolonged periods of time. During Sting's return at the 2014 Survivor Series, Seth Rollins gets pinned a full SIX MINUTES after taking the Zig Zag. It was ridiculous.

Cluster **** of interference and the refs having single digit iq as they do nothing but stand there

Outside the ring stuff when they are clearly out there for longer than a 10 count and don't do anything to break the count.
Looking at the guy and waiting for him to hit his move.
And of course, overdone interference spots.

People standing there staring at the person about to jump into them instead of getting out of the way.

Del Rio's rope/corner/stomp finisher. Spanish Flys See...mine is things being labeled a Spanish Fly and it is not a Spanish Fly. Also... Count outs not being a thing (especially the slide in at 9.5). Piledrivers not being sold proper. Big moves outside the ring not being sold proper. A limb being worked but is magically okay for big/signature moves. So...selling?

Commercial breaks mid-match. This was never a problem before the Attitude Era. They can figure out how not to screw with pacing so badly.

Irish whips are a thing in wrestling, it honestly would take a lot to take me out of a match

Screwing up a spot is fine, not knowing how to react and immediately going for the same thing again is just amatuer hour shit and instantly kills a match for me. Understandable for rookies, not for supposed main event level talent, looking at you Del Rio.
Not improvising when the moment calls for it in general actually, again sliding scale depending on what stage of their career they're at.
Long lay downs for miminal reason in multi-man matches are another major one, very common in mitb, getting taken out for 5 minutes from a side effect level move when you usually kick out of multiple finishers makes no sense.

Moves getting more and more contrived. There’s some stuff that looks like it belongs in a Cirq show than a wrestling ring. I know, I know, they said that about Harley Race, but a diving headbutt at least looks like something could happen.
It’s great the guys and girls are making sure everyone is safe before doing the move, but when it’s pushing on 8 seconds or more for the setup it’s getting a bit much.

Refs having a lobotomy prior to going out to referee.
Magically everyone being in the right spot outside of the ring for the top rope dive.
The complete lack of selling with so many people today.

Guys awkwardly scooting into position on the mat for their opponents top rope move. Like Jay White getting into position for Swerves stomp was horrible.

Moves that look like they should be finishers used as transition moves
