any catchphrase, they all come off as cheesy and get overused within a month

Little things to do with psychology, like one time Ziggler was forced to face The Shield 3 on 1 and he came down to the ring smiling. I hate little things like that. I also find it annoying when someone hits their finisher and then waits 20 seconds to pin the guy, since it makes it obvious that the guy is gonna kick out. As much as I like Cena, he is the worst offender when it comes to that. Yes definitely

The fact that Bray Wyatt's lantern is obviously LED powered. They could at least use a darker colored L.E.D to make it look a bit more realistic..

Few of these have been said.
Wrestler on top rope or ring ready to fly off, wrestler standing up in ring or outside, clearly waiting to catch them. At least look groggy not like "Hey I'm ready for the spot, you still good to do it?"
Wrestler cutting promo and going for a cheap pop. I like it When Mick does it.
Wrestlers using the same moves over and over and over again. At least try and change something now and then.
Wearing their t shirt and ring gear when cutting a promo. Shorts? Jeans? Suit if your character requires it.
SmackDown being taped and edited SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much.
Lack of characters. I look back at stuff from the New Generation and Attitude Era, and it seems like everyone had a character. Even in NXT there is quite a few. "The Master of the 5 Count" Big E Langston to just Big E. It sounds better if everyone has a larger than life character.

CM Punk chants
"Hey, this is a pretty decent match..let's chant the name of a guy who walked out on his contract and the fans.. Okay!"
Also, kinda off topic, but a big pet peeve of mine is some of these claffified listings who are selling their figures and they want $5-10 more for a loose figure than the moc figure actually costs online.
Example: Elite 20 Christian is like $10-15 online moc. Classifieds - $20 loose no accessories

It's already been covered, but the crowd chants are to the point of being sickening. Chanting "Boring!" during and Orton vs. Sheamus match was fine. But it's terribly overused, along with the "This is Awesome!" and the "Jerry Lawler/JBL!" chants. Other tiresome chants have already been brought up in this thread.

I've gotta be honest, I don't get the hate for those two. I always find their matches entertaining as hell, sure Orton was a better heel in 2009, and Sheamus should be more of an arse kicking face than a jokey one but it really doesn't bother me and it doesn't make me hate them. I'll agree with the boring chants being disrespectful though.

When A whips B to the ropes, A bends down and waits for B to counter the move. This always gets mentioned. THEY'RE GOING FOR A BACK BODY DROP.

I think my only real pet peeve is the shoulder-into-the-ringpost spot that happens in almost every match. I swear, if WWE were real, the wrestler who learned to avoid that maneuver would go undefeated his entire career….

No one grabs the tag rope anymore
Crawling in tag matches...wouldnt it be easier to roll? Lol
Taking forever to climb a ladder
When stupid things happen like Roman Reigns spiking Stephs coffee. You tellin me no one in the truck woulda been like "hey Steph, dont drink that."
Bray Wyatt blowing out the lantern, then coming out with an LED one.

Maybe this has already been covered, but here's one that bothers me just as much as all the trunks in wrestling.
A non-wrestler (announcer/manager) or Diva is alone in the ring when a gigantic heel's music hits. Not only does the vulnerable person in the ring have the warning of the music, he or she just stands there for a minute or two looking ready to urinate in his or her pants instead of making an effort to get away.

Crawling in tag matches...wouldnt it be easier to roll? Lol Ricky Morton is the master of the rolling tag and getting busted open while we're at it. Saw the Rock & Roll Express in SMW tons of times and there wasn't a match that went by where he didn't do the rolling tag or get busted open. Seriously... he's on a Ric Flair level of bleeding. You could breathe hard on his forehead and it would probably open him up.

- Terrible commentary -- it's never been worse.
- The backwards thinking that giving guys a bunch of title reigns (as opposed to a small number of lasting, meaningful ones) will get them over.
- John Cena in general... bad character, almost always bad in the ring (dainty, sloppy, psychology-free offense and inability/unwillingness to ever let his opponent come out of the match looking better than he did going in), uninteresting promos...
- WWE's treatment of female characters in general
- Inability to properly push hot stars other than the Cenas and Sheamuses of the world (case in point: Ryback. Two years ago, when he jumped right from squashing jobbers to the main event scene, I said he was going to be a complete failure through no fault of his own. See also: CM Punk following MITB 2011)
- Characters consistently ignoring past histories with each other
- The recent trend of the past 3-4 years of promos being laced with shoot comments that do nothing to enhance the storylines
- WWE's treatment of Zack Ryder, the lower-card workhorse who dared to get himself over
- The overexposure of virtually every main event performer over the past decade
- Lack of dynamic, interesting characters... compare the 1994 roster to today's: The workers generally aren't as good in the ring, but they were a lot more interesting because they were all so unique... today it's all black trunks and lame tattoos. Just think how interesting Randy Orton, who I think is one of the most talented all-around performers on the roster, would be if he actually had a gimmick besides "fit, oiled-up guy that likes to win championships"

Oh, and I forgot to add:
Complete lack of regard for long-term booking. It does not exist anymore.

moves where the person taking it is obviously putting themselves in position. Right now the biggest examples are the Curb Stomp and The Fall of Man. The latter would be greatly improved if Viktor was the only one who ran and Konner held the guy in place until time for the leg sweep. The fact that people always get up exactly in the middle of the ring when time for the move looks bad. The curb stomp looks fine sometimes, but not often. Cena's top rope leg drop also suffers from this. Basically, if a guy is getting up in a way they wouldn't normally, it looks bad.
We all know it's a work, but it's the job of the people in the ring to hide that fact.
