Practically all of them now, because they've been so overused.
Ironically the most satisfying match is a conventional one on one single fall

Ironically the most satisfying match is a conventional one on one single fall More so in this era, big matches are single fall conventional matchups and I prefer that. Sure you might get a special ref here and there, or Mr Excitement trying to ring the bell - but it's a breath of fresh air compared to the old style Attitude cluster f***s.

I hate strap matches (the touch 4 corners type). Hate them.

Chairs match, Strap match and Beat the Clock can go do one.

Iron Man matches
Even if it's 2 guys I like, I just don't have the patience for a match that lasts 1 hour.

Chairs match, Strap match and Beat the Clock can go do one. Oh Beat the Clock is awful the way they do it where it's like "Here's two chumps, it's a given you'll beat the chump, your place in the upcoming match is secure, we just want to see who can beat the chump quicker." Awful, awful, awful.

They've destroyed I Quit matches in recent years by turning them into amateur acting hour where the ref and both guys waste time emoting into the mic in their best solemn voices.

Iron Man matches. They're always booked way too predictably, and so the early falls never really matter because you know they'll tie it up towards the end.
Cage matches. They've become way to sanitised and dull. The escape option, along with the cage door is a total interest killing combo.
WWE's I Quit matches. They're so overly dramatic, it's laughable. Also Cena's never give up gimmick has totally killed them.
Any of the sort of matches where you don't actually beat you opponent so much as you push them over a line, or put them in something (I don't include ladder matches, since the way they're done does create a proper sense of achievement for the winner) So any ambulance, casket, stretcher sort of gimmick always comes off lame because it doesn't settle anything. The winner didn't actually beat the opponent so much as they completed an overly contrived test.

Any match where a referee is supposed to wrestle. Lil Naitch vs Khali, Scott Armstrong vs CM Punk, etc.

I'd say the dreaded Chairs match but it has brought me too much amusement even if it is really lame. I guess I think any match type can be entertaining if done properly. I think a chairs match would be entertaining if they emphasized the idea that only chairs are legal and anything else such as outside interference, low blows, or the use of a different type of weapon is still grounds for a DQ. Tuxedo/evening gown matches. I don't need to feel any weirder about watching wrestling, thank you very much. I don't see the point in tuxedo matches when most of the wrestlers wrestle in just spandex briefs anyway. Along with the fact that the people participating in these matches are often people that no one really wants to see in any form of undress.

Oh I don't deny that the dude can perform when it's needed, it's just extremely hard for me to buy that a referee is going to be able to beat a wrestler without some kind of shenanigans, and when a matches conclusion is telegraphed, it's hard for me to get into it.

- Any matches where you have to touch all four corners to win.
- Lumberjack matches.
- Ambulance/Last Ride/Casket Matches.
- Cage matches. Though this could be fixed if they got rid of the damn door.

I like lumberjack matches in theory, and believe I've seen actual good ones at times too...but the current stuff of all the jacks brawling in the ring at the end is getting old.

Lumberjack matches, stretcher matches, any sort of version of an ambulance match (like a Last Ride one), tables matches since 90% of the action is usually unrelated to potentially winning and the finish almost always is just a random move out of nowhere, absolutely hate Iron Man matches, I've never liked submission matches... Not big on battle royals. Love the Royal Rumble, but standard battle royals don't do it for me.

2 out of 3 Falls is stupid too. Both wrestlers get falls and they happen so quickly it's not different from a regular match.
