When the tag team champions get beat up by one guy. Huge one for me. Hogan would never have beaten up Hart Foundation or Demolition on his own....Flair would ever have beaten up the Road Warriors, Rock N Roll Express etc etc. When Batista flattened La resistance on his own and planted the flag in their ass they may have well binned the tag titles too.

Zack Ryder buying very rare and one of a kind wrestling figures/items....then letting them "Breathe". Thanks bud for making the search and value of these items that much harder for the rest of us. I would rather have it packaged sometimes.

Like someone else mentioned, headlocks and rest holds where neither guy is doing anything is the number one thing that makes me roll my eyes at what I’m watching. The wrestler applying the hold doesn’t try to make it seem like he’s applying any pressure and the wrestler taking the hold just lays there. Aside from that, I hate any dives to the outside on a group of guys. The only thing that pops me with spots like that is when no matter how large the group on the outside is, all ready to catch whoever’s diving, the wrestler doing the dive still manages to somehow land in the middle of all of them, not hitting anyone, but everyone still takes a bump.

Using the announcement table as a table instead of an actual table as a table.

Wrestling collectors who bid on eBay auctions hours or days before they end running up the price. I collect comics Joes transformers super hero toys vintage toys ect . And the wrestling figure section is the one group that does this consistently and inflated prices before the auction ends.

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.

When someone gets pinned then immediately rolls out of the ring. Any chant with five claps. The multi person corner superplex / powerbomb spot. Spears through the guard rail. Finisher fests. When ladders are blatantly placed in a position to set up a spot rather than help a person win the match. Like when someone puts a ladder across the ring and guardrail. When someone sells a move differently than usual in order to set up another move straight after, like a Sweet Chin Music into a Pedigree. Overselling insults during a promo. He didn’t punch your mother, he just called you a jackass. Repeating a table spot because the table didn’t break. Especially when it doesn’t break a second time either. Winning a cage match by escaping through the door. Lame nicknames. ‘Ravishing Russian’, ‘Swiss Cyborg’, ‘Extraordinary Man Who whatever whatever’ etc. Inconsistent match rules, like rope breaks in some No DQ matches but not in others. Some refs in Hell In A Cell / Elimination Chambers allow pinfalls outside the ring whereas others don’t. Kane’s Tombstone. The opponents head is usually level with his waist. Even the replays are shown from behind. When two people stop fighting because one retreated to the stage. There’s no barrier between the stage and the ring. Thank You! That always makes me cringe.

Wrestlers who look directly at the ref to know when to kick out of a pin attempt.
The unnecessary breaking up of tag teams just because that's what the WWE does.
Wrestlers who can't be bothered to learn how to properly apply a hold. I'm looking at you Rock and your lame as crap sharpshooter!

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.

How anyone wrestling Rey Mysterio just happens to conveniently fall onto the second rope so he can do the 619.
The awful soap opera acting during backstage segments.
When just about everyone in the WWE had to wear something pink to support the Susan G Komen foundation.
Pretty much the death of kayfabe.

To play off the Mysterio one.... whenever someone tries to hit Cena following his shoulder blocks to get caught in the spin out powerbomb.

The fans for these reasons
Cry and moan about everything
Soon as there fave gets a push they turn on them
Stalk wrestlers at hotels, airports etc then when the wrestler says no they make them out to be a @$$ on social media
Stupid chants like cm punk, this is awesome, what etc
the so called super that try be part of the show like the brock guy
The show has been more enjoyable without the fans

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.

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.

Canadian Destroyers. They have never looked good. The move isn't logical in the slightest. There is no sort of momentum that makes you do a backflip because a guy has your head between his thighs.

A lot of moves would be impossible to do without the other person’s cooperation especially the Canadian Destroyer. It looks cool though and that’s why we watch wrestling because they make things look good despite it being illogical in real life.

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?
