Your wrestling pet peeves
- Thread starter mrken12
- Start date
former world champs going after secondary titles
getting a title shot by pinning the champ
champions losing clean
title matches on pre shows
blood feud matches starting out by locking up with each other
Shane Mcmahon
every special event having the same look. Its gotten so bad that seeing those house specials with their simple design is actually refreshing to see
over use of spamming finishers. only works for certain wrestlers and it should be on a very rare occasions. Im more impressed when they reverse the finisher instead of kicking out of it

It's been stated already but announcers not focusing on the match at hand is probably my number 1 pet peeve. I get sometimes they got put over the top story/star but that shouldn't take the whole damn match.
Matches having the same formula/scripting
I hate how the undercard guys don't have story or at least trying to earn shot at a title. Say what you want about Russo but that's one thing that he tends to do that I actually like.
Repetitive booking it's probably the thing that hurts WWE the most and it makes for boring shows.

Your objective semi-troll
The lost art of "punching" - everything is comical and lack any realism/impact. This one bothers me the most for some reason. I see you Ambrose. Big Show having the WMD as a finisher makes it even worse.
Announce team not putting over a return/moment properly. Or talking when they should SHATAP.
Multiple non-title matches before the actual title match between two wrestlers.
PPV rematches the next night or 2 out of 3 "get your win back" booking ie: Family Man Irvine
Ryder.

These guys are so creative out there and pull out all these great looking moves and they have absolutely no impact. The other night on PPV Ryback gorilla pressed Kalisto off the fukkin top rope - which looked great and the crowd popped big for it - only to have Kalisto get up IMMEDIATELY and lead into the finish.
I was baffled. It didn't even effect him. Way back before I was Larry Holmes status, he would have sold that move like crazy and stayed on the floor like he was dead and it might have became a classic spot. In fact that could be a god damn finisher for Ryback... but Kalisto shook it off and got right up.
Sometimes the guy getting put IN the movie looks less hurt than the guy putting it on. Terrible.

Payback also had KO take the torpedo DDT and then win the match completely clean about 90 seconds later.
1) Brock Lesnar still being signed and that Suplex city chant. It was cool for one Fukkin night!
2) Steve Austin's Network version of his podcast. Controlled, waste of time, boring, and diplomatic. Fukk WWe Network, and fukk WWE past year in general.
(minor)
Fans not realizing how amazing Credible/Stom were in ECW, and how amazing Lance Storm is in general. Not understanding 97-2001 ECW was the best thing ever in wrestling history.

Lack of black WWE champions. 
which leads to another problem, finishers meaning nothing
maybe only the pedigree still has clout left

How ever Rock segment is the same since he came back.
A typical Rock segement goes like this:
entrance
pause for chants
finally
pause for chants
millions
pause for chants
bullshyt story featuring cheap pop bait local reference
pause for chants
point at goosebumps on arm
pause for chants
think up a playground insult a six-year old might use, but add the word "bytch"
pause for chants
if you smell
fukk off.

Dope thread with a lot of good answers 
I'll add:
Anything to do with Stephanie she's awful
Also when the crowd thinks their so smart by chanting things like Albert when tensei was wrestling or husky Harris for bray Wyatt I mean damn we all get that they used to be a different character

Moves where the guy giving the move takes the exact same bump he would take as the recipient of some other move, but is somehow immune to the impact because he's on offense
"______ is gonna killlll you" chant. The melody is fukking irritating and it sounds like shyt.
....I could argue it takes away suspense because instead of having to commit to a pinfall or a kick out, they can just book this to happen repeatedly. It's kind of anticlimatic no?Then you book yourself in the position where either the non legal man had to be incapacited as well as the legal man on all pinfalls...or the non legal man just doesn't care To intervene anymore...lol.
