When injuries don't get sold. Or injuries aren't taken advantage of.

The announcer team mentions it early and then the wrestler proceeds to use the injured, but important, body part to seal a victory. Some of the great storytellers would either attack the injury constantly or if injured, resort to another method to win.

This two of every title shyt. Two world titles, two womens titles, two sets of tag titles.

Wrestlers inconsequentially changing brands.

Rematches the very next day after a PPV.

Thrown together tag teams with two theme songs.

How poorly the Cruiserweight Championship is treated.

The backstage interview area with the stupid drape.

The whole lack of "place" backstage.

The Women's Tag Titles.

Feuds never evolve, there's no story arc.

Boom then bust booking. World champ today, not seen for months after.

Interviewers just being there to hold the mic.

The last time I think I've seen this done right was Shayna vs Ember at Takeover then the next night at the Rumble Ember has her arm wrapped up and Asuka started trolling her injury

Announce team doing everything under the sun except actually calling the match.

Finisher spamming. They are called finishers for a reason.

50-50 booking.

Moves that require an obvious and ridiculous amount of help from the opponent to pull off (i.e. Trish's Stratusfaction)

People having finishers that don't fit them (i.e. Alexa having a knockout punch)

Overly choreographed spots. There's a fine line between "this looks cool" and "this is cringe"

Every Ricochet vs Will Osprey match. At least Dragon Lee vs Hiromu Takahashi is different every time

Kevin Dunn's constant camera cuts. I should be watching a sporting event, not a car chase in the Bourne Identity :francis:

I also strongly dislike how the title doesn't change hands due to countout/disqualification. If anything, that's when it SHOULD change hands :mindblown:
Makes me nauseous
