Almoat every move is like that though. Example, when someone lifts someone vertical over their head for a slam. The longer the better as "the blood is rushing to his head". But come ON, the other guy is perfectly vertical. Really? You're not even going to try to get out of this? The Irish whip is the most illogical move in wrestling. If someone throws me in a direction, I'm not going to run that way.

Not sure what it's called but the spot where everyone stands outside the ring fighting only to have the one guy jump from the top rope and knock them all down. The human bowling ball?

Bronco Buster. I like X-PAC but I’ve always hated that move.

When you see the person lying on the mat, shuffling along on their back, actively positioning themselves, so that they're close enough for a coup de gras, elbow drop, splash etc.

Interestingly one of my annoyances is the opposite of one of yours; I think the entire match should be attempt after attempt to win as quickly as possible. I'd have pin-fall attempts after nearly every move with kick-outs before the ref even counts one. When I was training as a wrestler in Manchester and we would put together matches or sequences I would constantly ask 'but how would this help me win?' IMO too many wrestlers nowadays have forgotten they're supposed to be creating the illusion of a competition. There are characters, of course, for whom it makes little sense to be trying to win because they are either sadists or masochists like the fiend or Mankind, or feuds where wrestlers are just interested in hurting each other as badly as possible for personal reasons like HBK/HHH or #DIY, but your standard match on weekly television should revolve around getting your opponent's shoulders on the mat or getting them to submit. That’s amateur wrestling. Not pro wrestling. If this were the case then there would be no story telling and no heels.

Whatever happened to the days where the person doing the top rope move would position the guy in the correct spot? I clearly remember Jeff Hardy dragging people close to the corner so that he could hit the Swanton bomb. Now it’s the guy on the floors job to move himself. Bizarre.

When Road Dogg would hump a wrestler from behind. I mean, there is zero ways to say that's acceptable on any level.

Hot tags. So sick of the frogger leap to a tag after getting it handed to them for so long

Yeah, it seems to have become more prevalent in the last few years. Like you say, the person on the mat was always dragged into position... nowadays, it's "yeah, you want to put your elbow/feet through my chest/land your entire body weight on me?... here, let me just move myself closer, to make it easier for you".

All the contrived ladder/cage situations... like when someone stalls for time, by pretending they've forgotten how to climb the ing thing. When someone takes half an hour to actually climb the ladder, because they're waiting for someone else to get back in the ring/catch up to them. When someone gets to the top of the ladder - within reach of the belt/briefcase... and then somehow is unable to unhook it, making it blatantly obvious they're not booked to win. When someone gets to the top of the cage, then just straddles it - apparently forgetting they need to swing their leg over and climb down the other side. When someone gets to the top of the cage, and instead of climbing down to win, does some ridiculous - and illogical dive/moonsault instead. When someone climbs the cage just slow enough to allow their opponent - previously lying prone on the mat, to get up and yank them off/pull them back in. Stuff like this and what I said are reasons we really shouldn’t question logic in wrestling and just turn our brain off when watching. I mean logically if you whoop someone to the ropes they aren’t bouncing back to you and logically if someone gets punched in the face they bleed. To quote the owner of wrestlecrap.com, Pro Wrestling is so dumb we love it. I kinda disagree. There’s a huge difference between suspending disbelief and shutting your brain off. If you have to shut your brain off to enjoy it, that means it’s for stupid people. That’s why I can’t stand the really, really bad “comedy” or “horror” segments in wrestling. When I want to watch something funny or scary, I put on a movie or tv show in that genre. It’s embarrassingly bad when sports entertainment does it.

The over the top, forced "comedy" segments. That crap makes me embarrassed to be a wrestling fan. I don't mind humour in wrestling, as long as it serves a purpose and is actually funny. Heel Jerry Lawler for instance in the attitude era, but these pathetic skits with The Viking Raiders and The Street Profits. (Where has there pride and self respect gone?) is vomic inducing and don't even get me started on this ninja stable, what in the is all that about! There's nothing more pathetic on WWE right now than seeing the announce team pretending to laugh and chuckle at these allege "funny" and "crazy" moments! And it's not just a WWE thing, it applies to any other promotion around the world, there's no need for this forced humour crap!

Referees getting easily distracted by silly things outside.
Regular tag team matches turning into tornado matches making the referees look stupid for not doing anything about it. I love AEW, but they’re guilty of this.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but it always bugs me when the champion comes out first in a title match.

I hate when wrestlers stand around and are obviously waiting to do a flip for their opponent. Looks like they're circus performers. When a singles star defeats a legit tag team one on two. (I see someone has already said this) When someone no sells a finisher. I'm looking at you Hulk. I hate when fans of one company have to try to ruin things for fans of another. Grow up. The Panama Surprise. Stop it Cole!
Meltzer & Alvarez. Both are cancers.
I hate when someone says something stupid online clearly out of character, but if they're popular, we hear "He's working you". No... he's a just douche! Cena's STFU. Tighten up on that thing man! tang/cam89/bangarang... etc...etc... MVP's finisher. Garza's too. I don't see the impact. People who say they don't watch the show, but then are the first to jump into a thread afterwards to say how bad the show was. "I didn't watch it, but I read someone else's opinion online". That's dumb. Braun flipping over cars.
The term "BURIED". Most don't use it right anyhow.
