What are some things that when you see a certain wrestler do them it annoys the hell out of you? My example would be watching Bubba Ray Dudley take a lot of moves. I was always a fan of his execution but when he was on the receiving end of a big move he’d make it too obvious that he was assisting the other guy. He would always jump up in the air when taking a crossbody or just oversell little shit. He’d also telegraph big ladder spots. He’d always be just staring at what he was going to fall into long before it happens.

A minor thing that annoys me is when Dolph Ziggler does a DDT. If you watch whenever someone does a DDT, they give the person receiving it a quick slap on the back to let them know they're about to drop. Ziggler practically winds up and smacks them like they owe him money before he hits the jumping DDT. I'm totally fine with people slapping their legs and such for effect or to signal their opponent, but not when it's so blatant.

I hate it when people dawdle outside the ring 'til they're just about counted out then all of a sudden speed up and make that big superhuman jump into the ring. Quite a few folks do this, but John Cena is the usual guilty party. It's stupid and ruins the suspense.

Bobby Roodes hip swivel/fluttering hands when he does the glorious taunt. It reminds me of Val Venis, but it fit with Val cause his character was all about sex. When Roode does it, I'm like, "but why."

I could never take Abyss seriously as a monster because he runs funny.

Any wrestler who stops wrestling in a match if they hear their enemy's theme music hit in order to look at the stage while ignoring their opponent.

If Dolph used it as a reversal or something it'd probably look better... but just how he does it just looks really bad to me.

It makes sense in so far as they'd probably rather lose a match than get the shit kicked out of them by two guys, but it does bug me when they take ages with it. A distraction ending is annoying, anyway, sometimes, but it's grueling when they take like 30 seconds for the rollup or whatever. It's not a surprise to the audience, it's just wasting time.

Yeah... that is when it annoys me... when they play the music and the guy just stands there for seeming ages waiting for the other guy to show up.

I could never take Abyss seriously as a monster because he runs funny. Abyss also probably has some of the worst punches in wrestling. Like, I appreciate the effort to be unique, but doing nothing but clubbing the guy with your wrist just looks f***ing idiotic.

Rikishi shuffling his feet before taking his 360 spin when selling. I’m not saying it’s not impressive that man of his size can do the spot but every time he does it, just before you can see him shuffling about to build up the momentum to do the 360.
Jericho sounding like he’s sneezing every time he hits someone.

When Roode does it, I'm like, "but why." This is indicative of a big issue I have of things guys do that don't fit their gimmick at all. Loads of guys out of the UK have gimmicks then go wrestle a generic vaguely European style indyrific match that is totally unsuitable to the gimimick. It takes me right out of their matches. Majority of the WWE signed UK guys are terrible for this.

I could never take Abyss seriously as a monster because he runs funny. When he started talking, that did it for me. He just has this weird squeal to his voice that completely killed anything even remotely monsterish about him.

Reminds me of how X-Pac had great kicks, but hilariously shit looking punches, with chops that were marginally better. RVD's crappy forearms weren't too hot, either.

General bugbear: wrestlers standing around while their opponent climbs to the top rope, patiently waiting to get jumped on.

Three or more superkicks or huracanranas per wrestler per match.

The Revival's striped boots. Mojo Rawley keeping his "hyped" gimmick maneurisms after turning heel. Most of all though, the fact that you can barely see simple, basic moves like a bodyslam or a vertical suplex on WWE TV anymore. It is mostly "strike, strike, strike, big signature move, finisher".
