What things in wrestling do you really dislike and make you embarrased? For me it's Smackdowns theme song. If I knew my enemy I wouldn't be listening to music like that before I kicked his ass. I also dislike the fact that midget like Hornswoggle gets to be in a company like WWE and earn a great paycheck for doing NOTHING special. I hate the fact that the guys can't use any profanity. I also don't enjoy the fact that the current era feels like the New Generation era without the cartoon gimmicks. If anything I wouldn't mind a few gimmick guys thrown in as it would make sense. At the moment the bad is outweighing the good but the good is great and I forget most of this stuff. I can't believe it's been nearly 20 years that I've been a fan!

Kelly Kelly, Hornswoggle
I don't actually hate them, I just don't care for them

I can really only say that I hate two things.
1) The intentional/unintentional derailing of hot angles. I'm looking at you, Triple H and Kevin Nash.
2) The absolute lack of effort put into the midcard. These guys need angles and mic time, too.

The complete meaninglessness of midcard belts. When I was a kid the Intercontinental belt was my favourite title. Now its merely a gimmick for Cody.

Tag team matches where the babyface makes the hot tag after getting the crap beat out of him. Then, after his partner does his beat downs, he tags back in the guy who took the heat. Colt Cabana and Jimmy Yang talked about it on their podcast. It's more then just always beating Colt, but Yang would have looked like an idiot.

The prevalent xenophobia and misogyny.

Constant stop/start pushes aka guy getting a world title reign then loses it, and gets immediately de-pushed.

Titles mean nothing. Seriously, who cares who is champion anymore and who is trying to dethone him.

Guys who are good wrestlers don't get enough air time to show their skills like Trent Baretta, Yoshi Tatsu, Tyson Kidd, etc. I hate seeing them getting squashed on RAW or Smackdown too.

That the commentators don't even call the moves in the match and sometimes go off in tangents about things that have nothing to do with the match.

Everyone here has taken my first choices. So, I'll go with a very unorthodox one:
Guys telling other people what they can, can't, should, or shouldn't do "For the bizness". This isn't a cult, nobody HAS to do anything "For the bizness".

Internet huggy bears whose fans are out of control and ruin the wrestler by slobbering over every single thing they do like it's the greatest thing in the world. (CM Punk, Kevin Steen, Serina Deeb)
Catchphrases. The Attitude Era completely ruined it for me.
Worn out songs being used as themes for wrestlers. There are still people who use that awful Drowning Pool song.

After backstage segments, before they cut to commercial break they just do an extended close-up with the person being frozen as they fade.

WWE's refusal to even marginally attempt to come off as a competitive sport. It drives me nuts when you see angles where a wrestler is deemed "not entertaining" as if that really should matter a damn in an organization that should be dictated by wins and losses.

The Catapult into the corner move. It does not look even remotely plausible.

I'm glad they don't act like wrestling is a legit sport. It's insulting to the fans. Don't get me wrong, it's even more insulting when they go "Oh, didn't you know? This shit's fake!". But I like the happy medium they have now.

But I like the happy medium they have now. Insulting how? Battlestar Galactica doesn't go out of its way to tell us it's a work of fiction, nor would any other show or movie. I think it's more insulting the way they themselves will sometimes treat the fans as if they are the ones saying "you know it's fake, right?" I'm not saying you have to abolish storylines but none of their divisions appear competitive in the slightest, you never get a sense that any of the characters are really pushing for career advancement and it ends up killing a lot of what makes professional wrestling compelling to watch.

When a wrestler's music hits as he's making a run-in. Totally ruins it for me, and keeps me from being able to suspend my disbelief.

How monotonous things have become due to overexposure. You simply can't have multiple big, major shows featuring main event level matches every week and then expect anything to feel special anymore.
Worse than that? "Invisible cameraman" backstage segments. JUST CUT A @#$%ING PROMO, GOOD LORD. So insanely insulting to fans.
