What wrestling moves do you hate?

Does anyone else hate 'out of nowhere' finishers in general? The psychology behind them is fairly retarded when you think about it. I mean if they can do them out of nowhere then why not do them right when the damn match begins? Plus there's no drama to them. Just a quick pop then boom the match is over. Moves that actually take a little time to set up can be much more dramatic.
 
Undertaker - Old School

Edge - Worst spear ever

Cena - Whole moveset
 
Never liked the Mr Socko Mandible Claw even as a kid
 
flying shoulder tackle thanks to cena and sheamus. shit looks slow-mo.
 
Pretty much everything I see now.

lol @ this guy, Everything you post in this section is a negative jab at something...

So everything you see now is the worst move in pro wrestling.. That makes a ton of sense considering there are now more athletic, resilient, well trained, versatile, acrobatic performers than ever in the history of pro wrestling.

It's so hard to take pro wrestling discussion seriously or even get involved in any way when the only people there are to talk to are 80/90s throwbacks that trash everything that isn't what they grew up with.

Anyways, to add to the thread again.. I'm gonna call out braun strowman.. I have yet to see this guy do anything impressive besides be a huge ugly oaf. His bear hug/choke is dumb.

Road Doggs pump handle slam was dumb especially when he would dry hump ppl before doing it.
 
Or Rock's 5 moves + the sharpshooter.

punch
kick
rock bottom
ddt
hurricanrana
spine buster
ppl elbow
clothesline
suplex
power bomb
luthor press
sharp shooter
etc....
All of which he executed perfectly

Why are you bashing the rock?
 
Problem with Cena is he just performs the move in such a lazy way. Mainly the STFU, he does it wrong most of the time so it looks bad, that can be said with any wrestler but he does it more often.

Overdrive takes it though for worst actual move, they used to give it to any decent guy fresh out of development. So awkward to do and set up plus how's that hurt a person?
 
Happy the Overdrive has been mentioned. I don't think other than the victim getting pinned it has ever actually been sold to tell anyone what it was meant to do.

The X-Factor always looked lame.
 
Rollins doing the pedigree
It's too bad he hasn't done something to make it more of his own vs. a poor mans HHH version. A high-angle spinning pedigree (double underhook facebuster) would be much more in line with the rest of his move set.

I think bulldogs look like shit from most people, but Cena's is fucking terrible.

Slingshots always look retarded.

How the fuck is a punch his finisher?
 
Most instances where wrestlers will use another guy's finisher as a high spot(unless it's ironically, eg People's Elbow, or it was already an uber-common move, eg figure-4).
 
Some picky fans itt.

I can't believe someone said the Canadian Destroyer- I think it's one of the best moves ever.

Million Dollar Dream / cobra clutch

Abdominal Stretch

Bear Hug

The Claw
 
I think the Canadian Destroyer gets hate on because the recipient has to do most of the work by throwing themselves backwards. Its basically a back body drop with the fear of breaking your own neck.
