It's a match with no psychology or story, just a string of big "moments" back-to-back-to-back with no (or very little) selling in between.

I would class HHH VS Taker at Mania 28 a spot fest. Finishing move after finishing move and endless kick outs.

A spot is usual a "big bump" ie jumping off a cage/ladder/table or its a fast paced sequence of moves/strikes with little no no selling, I dont dislike spot fest matches especially between old timers or guys who just dont have chemisty, it hides the fact that the actual wrestling chemisty factor isnt there. So a spot fest is just a match that is one spot after another, with little selling or story telling between spots. Say what you want about a spot fest, I've never heard a lot of people booing a spot match in a live arena, I've heard plenty of people boo a "proper wrestling" match that consist of sleeper holds, long spells laying on the floor "selling" The second part is true, however a live crowd doesnt have commentary and guys could do a hell of a lot better job at rest holds. Orton is boring. Owens makes them fun because he trash talks the opponent and berates the crowd. Or Bryan Kendrick. It needs to be a work hold adding to the match/story and not just a 5 min nap for Princess Orton.... I dont mind Owens rest holds cause like you said he shouts abuse and its usually pretty funny, I do sometimes feel he does them just because he's heel and the fans who like cheer him cant cheer a rest hold. I guess its clever in a way but meh.
