God damn Ivan Putski always takes the mic away from the ring announcer during introductions to scream "Polish Power!" or mutter some incomprehensible bullshit at his opponents ... I can always sense the ring announcer's irritation with the prick.
Mick Foley takes up 5 minutes to tell the story about seeing Snuka fly off the top of the cage as if we haven't all heard it ad nauseam. Foley is like a senile old grandpa telling war stories that we all have memorized.
Your turn.

When certain moves aren't sold despite being marketed/established as potential career killers. I loath seeing piledrivers and various moves on the floor being treated as merely transitional or folks getting up within seconds after taking said moves.

Wrestlers laying on the ground that greatly adjust their position to take a move off the top rope. It's probably the #1 thing that will take my mind out of the match.

In that vein taking the monitors off the announcing tables before putting an opponent through it. Like I’m really mad at you and want to hurt you enough to end your career...but I don’t want to damage these monitors. I get why they do it, but they should just have a random table around somewhere if they want to do table spots. Maybe that’s what they do now, I haven’t paid much attention. |

One that hit me the other day is Indy Feds that try to portray having "authority figures", championship committees, boards of directors and the like. I get they are trying to have story lines but on the realistic side of things portraying you have an office staff that would be larger than the audience in attendance is hilarious to me.

Not the exact same thing (as Warrior was charging ropes rather than top rope), but Honky Tonk Man adjusting really borks it for me (Summerslam 1988). However, Warrior winning his first championship was so freaking crazy awesome that it compensates for it anyway.

When a wrestler has a body part worked over the entire freaking match, selling accordingly, only to ignore it completely the last few minutes of the match for their comeback.

Honky was probably thinking "I better move quick or this clumsy idiot will land on my head" |

Guys can't work a gimmick. I've ranted about it before so won't repeat myself, but aside from one guy (Dunne) who USED to have the same problem, NXT UK is a crater of this.

I made a thread about this in the past but I really don’t understand why wrestlers don’t place or drag their opponent into position before doing a move from the top rope. It makes sense and it literally only takes a minute. This whole “it has to be set up perfectly” thing isn’t realistic. |
