I hate when wrestlers hit the boxing bag during video montages of training sessions..i also hate when the only other thing they do is lift weights. i see the logic behind lifting weights. but i don't see the logic of that being all you do.
1. Wrestling punches even in kayfabe arent supposed to be balled up fist. why punch the bag 2. It's a wrestling match. why not work on grappling techniques, submissions/reversals.etc.. it makes no sense. it's like watching kobe bryant do wind sprints without dribbling or taking a jumpshot. it really pisses me off.
Now all montages don't fit this category. but this ones that do, need to be refined.
I also hate how the sweet chin music is always viewed as a automatic ko, but when triple h is involved the wrestler can stay up to get pedigreed. I am also sick of matches with empty psychology. for example, i've seen johnny nitro brutalize the back of jeff hardy, yet hardy still wins with the swanton.
Chris benoit is guilty of this as well. I've seen numerous matches where his arm was the opposition's sole focus. what does benoit do, when with the crossface anyway.
thoughts?

They don't do this much anymore, but when someone came out for a sneak attack on someone else, they'd play the persons entrance music first. Like Triple H would be wailing on someone, then Stone Cold's music would hit and Triple H would STILL be taken by surprise.

Rey Mysterio.
Not really, just beating other people to the punch.
I can't stand the whole "My partner is being double teamed, I'll argue with the ref and tell him to turn around!" Once, just once, I want them to point and when the ref starts to argue, they jump out of the ring so he can turn around. Just once.

Aside from the many wrestling cliche's (which I can accept for old times sake) I hate no structure to the match. It seems like all we get these days is both wrestlers hitting their signature moves and maybe a finisher, and you pick a winner. Doesn't matter if wrestler A works on wrestler B's leg all match, when it comes down to it, the leg will be fine when he needs it.
I also hate the fact that storylines seem to forget the past more times then not.
On the "smark side" I really hate the fact that no matter what match or who's involved, there will be at least one person complaining about a wrestler being "buried" because of a loss.
For example: CM Punk was underfeate, dwas put over by HHH at SS, but because he lost first in the Chamber, he is doomed in ECW.

Although people heavily criticised the recent 'title changing on a DQ' fiasco on TNA. Im personally all for it. Surely a champion, 1 min, into the match just has to grab a chair hit the opponent and, there thats it, title defended.
That...and more or less anything the WWE put out anymore bothers me. thats why Im TNA ALL THE WAY.....and WWE whenever nothing else is on TV.

The fact that in tranning videos all the wreslters do is lift weight.
Wake up WWE, this is 2006. We know that MMA exists. Rickson Gracie lied his weight to the heavyweight division and raped everbody there in the ass, and I think that it had something to do with the fact that he knew how to freaking fight. No Vince, not because one guy is big means he can do more than other guys, nor makes him a better wrestler. These trainning videos from Wrestlemania 22 where pure bullshit for a Brazilian, used to watching MMA all the damn time.

When the guys on top take shots at anyone below them and generally make them look like fools.
Booking your main eventers to crush anyone who isn't a main eventer, having them make little comments to make fun of them ... stuff like that. I don't like it.

i do hate the short term memory thing the wwe has going..but most of all where i ahte it is with the commentary...it rreally gets under my skin when JR chnges his opinion with every face/heel turn..especially with some guys who've turned from face to heel about 50 times in the last 5 years.

A Main Eventer can defeat a Midcarder or two no problem.
IE Triple H versus Hurricane and Rosey, despite the fact that the Rock had troubles with Hurricane in a singles match.

irish whips close thread, I won although i see your point.. that's a universally accepted manuever. so i have no problem with it. i hate when people irish whip and attempt a backdrop, although they never do against anyone else. and they are promptly face bustered. i know you have to feed your opponents. but atleast counter it every once in a while.

Chinlocks. Have you seen anybody get a submission from a chinlock? It might be the most useless hold in wrestling.

RVD's selling of the Five-Star Frog Splash.
Everytime it happens, I know his little freakout about how much it hurt HIM is coming. And every single time, it pisses me off. It'd be like Triple H rolling around grabbing his knees after a Pedigree, or Stone Cold whining about how bad his tailbone hurts after a Stone Cold Stunner.

Like even you said: Wake up Vince the entire world knows about MMA and the fact that that is just about the fakest move in the world. Little things that bother me? Double teams behind the refs back. You would think that after ALL THESE FRIGGIN' YEARS THE REF WOULD LEARN TO TRUST THE FACE EVERY SO OFTEN.
