So I'm watching the first match of Raw tonight and one of my pet peeves came up yet again. What is the point of having build ups to a finisher if the finisher is never actually connected that way? When was the last time that Orton actually went through his RKO ritual and connected with it? It drives me crazy. And since I am on the topic, here are my other pet peeves...
"crawling to make the cover". I hate when someone connects with their finisher and then takes forever crawling to make the cover because it is an automatic kick out
Pinning after signature (not finisher). Another pet peeve, everyone in the world knows that Cena isn't going to win with the five knuckle shuffle
Throws to the outside just in time for a commercial break (or commercial breaks in general)
Dean Ambrose Rebound clothesline takes way too long to develop
Chair shots to the back. I understand there are obvious reasons why this happens now, but it really annoys me
Will Cena actually "lock in" the damn STF?
How exactly does "Grabbing the tights" give you an advantage when pinning?
And obviously the announcers not giving a crap about the match anymore...if you closed your eyes and just listened to the match, you would have no idea what is actually happening
Any others?

God, the commercial breaks during matches are the worst. Isn't that something they started doing within the last few years? Growing up I don't remember commercial breaks during matches. I hate when referees getting knocked out impacts the outcome of the match. For one thing there's about a billion  ing cameras in the arena, now even in the god damn turnbuckle, you're telling me they could just watch the replay and reverse their decision? I know it's scripted but come on. Then it's even more annoying when they do actually reverse their decision based on watching the replay. If one decision gets reversed what about every other time a wrestler got screwed? |

How about the fact that Big Show can apparently knock anybody out at any time with one punch, yet never attempts to the entire match except for a finisher? |

I'm a little too tired to really dive into this and see if I can form a response to all your pet peeves, but when they grab the tights, it makes it harder for the person getting pinned to kick their legs downwards to push their shoulders up.

Also, why is that (kayfabe) nobody uses each other's finisher?
Like, if Orton hits the RKO (outta nowhere!) and it's considered one of the most effective and feared finisher in WWE, why wouldn't everyone be using it?

How the Referee pretty much goes blind in tag matches.

I'm 30, I've been watching wrestling my entire life and I don't remember a time when there weren't commercials during matches. How the Referee pretty much goes blind in tag matches. I hate how formulaic all tag matches are. One guy from the face team gets isolated and they beat the crap out of him for a while. A few false tags and several double team beatings later he finally gets the tag where his partner takes care of the team by himself for a few minutes, only to be overcome by bring outnumbered. Suddenly his partner, who was just on the verge of collapse moments ago, is now fine and all four guys are fighting in the ring. Every tag match has been identical since at least the 80's. |

Grabbing the tights is using leverage to make it harder for the opponent to kick out, it actually 100% works in real life. I love Ambrose, but he should leave rebound clotheslines to Nigel Mcguinness and Claudio Castangoli. Ambrose's is a tad too slow.
One thing that annoys me is when things are too predictable for example last night when Zayn answered the challenge, obviously with his match at Takeover and Cenas at payback, there was no way he was winning. Yeah I get it they were in his hometown, but had it been done after payback and takeover I would have been much more into it. Especially with the way Zayn fought back.

The shoulder-into-the-ringpost spot, because it happens in almost every match.
And the way that, in a tag match, guys get so exhausted they can barely crawl across the ring after a couple minutes, but in a singles match everyone can go all night. (Can you imagine if they tired out that fast in singles matches? It'd be ridiculous!)

Cena's open challenges are all predictable. He's basically booked at every PPV, so it's not like Cena's opponent would win. |

I think his family still gets royalties every time someone does it. |

When someone gets rolled up and instead of struggling they just stay still until kicking out at two, as though they've been hit by an impactful finisher.
Also, when Kane and Big Show obviously position their hands for the "big guy kicks out of pin by throwing the guy off him" spot as soon as they get covered.

I thought this would be about when
two faces are booked against each other in a title match, triple threat or fatal four way....I'm so tired of seeing the two faces bump into each other or accidentally hit they're finish on each other....or when they have to 'co-exist' in tag team match.....why?? This is wrestling, not a day care. Everyone is supposed to hate and fight each other....so bored to tears with that it's not even funny....

my 3 things
-when wrestlers hit their finishers and it works,unless its a tag match and they are doing the ending where everybody hits their finishers to clear out the ring.i literally saw Kane take an RKO only to roll out of the ring to make room
-running the ropes and irish whips in general.so silly
-DDT went from Jake knocking people out long enough for a snake to be on them,now everybody does it every match

Why would chair shots to the back bug anyone?

I only have onethat really bugs me: when a wrestler gets pinned and you can see them watching the ref to see exactly when to kick out. Later, the same wrestler will lay there looking dazed or with their eyes closed when it is the real pin to end the match.
