I don't care for signature sells, like the aforementioned flip by Rikishi.

The goofy thing the Killer Bees and Hillbilly Jim would do where they'd be face-to-face with an opponent and clap their hands behind the guy's head. "HE RUNG HIS BELL!"
Mr. Perfect's spot where he got flung into the corner and "hit the post" was never anywhere near the post, and he overused it.

Anytime Del Rio does an armbar and the guy struggles to get out while his arm is basically being broken. The tension should be in breaking the grip of his opponent, not whether or not his opponent can withstand it for ten seconds. It's not that kind of move.

Raven made that weird screeching type noise everytime he executed moves. The sorta sound one makes on the toilet when trying to have a shit after a solid few weeks of kebab & lager diet.

Adam Page's apron shooting star press I think Page is really good overall, but that apron SSP always makes me afraid he's gonna land on his face and break his neck.

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". And that's a big thing that makes it look like dudes can't work, even if they probably can. They're not even doing the most basic of moves.

Anyone who has a signature spot where they fail and it turns the momentum. Bubba Day's never hit 2nd rope senton, Kurt Angle's post shoulder charge and RIC Fair's top rope 450 attempts being cut off

When she's come damned close to landing face first a few times. Not to mention in big matches she changes to a corkscrew moonsault...

Lex Luger's selling. Even when I didn't know shit about shit when it came to selling, his reactions always looked like garbage.

I hated how British Bulldog would mess with his waistband whenever he was laying on the mat. Whether he had just gotten a headlock or a piledriver, he'd be adjusting his waistband.
I also hated how Lex Luger bumped like a ton of bricks no matter what. At Uncensored '97, he sells getting sprayed in the eyes with spray paint like someone hit him with brass knuckles. He sold it like he was out cold.

General bugbear: wrestlers standing around while their opponent climbs to the top rope, patiently waiting to get jumped on. Yeah, at least sell being a little dizzy or hold your head or something.

Bubba Day's never hit 2nd rope senton, Kurt Angle's post shoulder charge and RIC Fair's top rope 450 attempts being cut off Bubba Ray did hit it at least once, when I think Jeff was draped over a ladder. It was kinda satisfying to see it amount to something, and it looked pretty devastating.

Mr. Perfect's spot where he got flung into the corner and "hit the post" was never anywhere near the post, and he overused it. Well, that's supposed to be a real move. It's a bell clap. The general idea is that you're trying to hit the guy directly in the ears, without actually hitting them in the ears and doing legit damage to their ear drums.
