Not to "never see" again, but if a company were willing to actually put a counter on "times a teammate is allowed to break up an opponent's pinfall" in a tag match, that'd really help make the show a bit better and help give a shift to the traditional tag team match (as well as potentially add more double-teams, since "those" moves wouldn't be as measured.) I know DH Smith said once in an interview the "in-house" rules referees were told is "tag teams were limited to doing it once before a DQ", but if this was made an onscreen, kayfabe plot point it'd add some drama to the match. I think Dean Ambrose also made a reference when he was doing guest commentary as part of the Shield to someone "burning their save" when he ran in to break up a pinfall. It's been briefly touched upon and could possibly benefit from a little more emphasis.

Alabama slam. That move is concussion city.

Bearhug - just kills a match's momentum dead in its tracks.
On the flipside, we need to see the return of the biggggg back body drop.

The Superplex spot
It feels like I see it in every single match that runs for longer than 15 minutes. The spot is almost always treated the exact same way in every match and while its supposed to be treated as a high impact move it never actually effects the rest of the match.

Alabama slam. That move is concussion city. Yeah, I don't feel it is worth the risks, it's like they decided a spinebuster was far too safe. One I am glad we very rarely see now, since it was abused FAR too much, is "face is kept away from the corner and isolated" which is fine and still sees usage, but the one I hate is when it turns to "face tags, but the ref does not see, after allowing the heels to do that like two dozen times when the ref isn't looking". It's complete shit and just kicks the pacing of a match in the liver. Don't get too greedy building to your hot tag, or you'll annoy the shit out of your audience, and have the heels evade the rules through trickery, not a bizarre double standard on the part of the ref that yanks the crowd clear out of disbelief.

A trillion times this. I remember one Raw where like three matches in a row ended this way. Happens way WAY too much.

Needlessly dangerous falls (hello Shane-O-Mac!)
Vicious neck moves (Brainbuster, Michinoku Driver, Spiked Ranas...)
Headbutts

Because you think it looks bad in some way, or the potential for serious injury? That move should never have existed, and now because it does, there are people dumping other people on their heads on a pile of chairs every week for $20 and a hotdog in front of 50 people. I really think that move is one of the bigger factors in Misawas death, along with the Ganso bomb. 90% of the moves these guys did in All Japan matches in the 90s were way too head-droppy. Not to defend the Ganso Bomb or the Burning Hammer but I doubt very much they had anything to do with Misawa's death. They were busted out so infrequently that it seems unlikely, stuff like your average Backdrop Driver would be much more culpable. Plus, people do Burning Hammer's every week? Where?

Especially if tipped off by a wrestler's theme music. I'm tired of that bit.

I'd be thrilled if I never saw a diving headbutt again.

I can go without ever seeing diving headbutts or head dropping suplexes ever again, but I have to stick up for the bear hug. When a really strong hoss grabs you in it it can look really devastating, like when Lesnar wrestled Hogan.

in terms of f*** that move with a rake: Burning Hammer Honestly I've never got the appeal of the Burning Hammer as it looks stupid as hell and seems very easy to screw up. That and why is that there is a seemly endless amount of no name twats who think that taking such a dangerous move and making it even more dangerous by using it with chairs,ladders and tables is such a brilliant idea.

This isn't even the only one I've seen on YouTube that's onto chairs

I always seem the burning hammer as a "intentional botch" instead of a spot. I mean, you just droping the guy on his head/neck without trying to soften the impact or protect the other guy

Dan Maff's finisher was the Burning Hammer on to chairs for a long time... it was always stupid.

Anyone jumping off the Cell is something I never want to see again. Felt sick when I realised what Shane was going to do on Sunday, then it just made me angry that they let him do that.

Any unprotected chair shots to the head...as a teen, I thought they were cool, but as an adult, it scares me to know how many of our heroes have suffered/are suffering from concussions, brain damage, or head trauma.
I could be perfectly happy never seeing that again.

I don't know if he still does it a lot, because I haven't been following that closely week to week, but if Owens isn't going to beat anyone with the Top Rope Brainbuster, he needs to retire it. It looks ridiculous to have people kicking out of that.
