I can't stand the flatliner or any move similar to it (downward spiral, reverse sto, complete shot ect...). It just looks lame. Non wrestling fans always think the guy using it is actually taking the bump. Kanyon had the most acceptable version in my opinion. The swinging variation is cool though (Alex Shelley, Bray Wyatt)

I also hate the reverse Russian leg sweep. Because Jeff Jarett sucks.
 
- Barret finisher with the elbow
- Dean Ambrose doing some random shit in the ropes and returing to hits his oponents
- MVP finisher
- Reigns super man punch
- Bret Hart double slide kick
- Cristian shortcut and spear
- Rollins pedigree
- Hogan legdrop
- Cena dumb stunner
 
Cena's springboard stunner, looks like shit and is blatantly trying to bury the Stone Cold Stunner, the Goat of Goat's finishers.
 
I don't understand why some people are so terrible at the spear.. Observing from an arm chair point of view it looks like one of the simplest moves of all.

Even Goldberg can do a decent spear and he sucked at everything.. although I guess that might help him with the spear. His looked reckless as fuck sometimes.

..and I agree with the Cena Stunner. If you can't do a move correctly more than once every ten times you shouldn't do it.
 
Edges skinny ass doing a spear was so fucking gay.
 
for those of you hating on edge's spear (fwiw i never liked edge), charlotte's spear is by far the worst arm tackle i've ever seen:

Looks more like a flying clothesline......to the ovaries!!

yeah i fucking hate the moves that basically look like the deliverer is giving themselves a rock bottom.

He's knocked himself silly more than once performing the spear
 
Big E and Baron Corbin's finishers are horrible. As for a generic wrestling move I am gonna go with the slingshot. I have never seen it done correctly because it is physically impossible.
 
Hulk Hogan's finishing leg drop that's somehow a million times more powerful than everyone else's leg drop...
 
The STF. I hate the loose grip.

The slow kill switch Christian would do. Everyone would reverse it

The fast Impaler was better
 
I hate Ambrose's thing where he falls part way through the ropes then comes back with a clothesline. Was cool the first time, but I can't stand it anymore.

Agree. It looks forced, and awful, every time he does it.
 
The one he just did on the new day was pretty good
 
The spear when its done by someone like Edge. Its awesome when a big guy like Goldberg or Rhyno does it but I just dont like it when it looks like someone got hugged to the ground instead of violently put down.
 
Now days I find almost all submission moves to be cringeworthy.

I hate seeing the tombstone done because I get scared that they'll mess it up and end a career again.

Bull hammer is stupid
 
Cena's moves
Shawn Michael's moves(except for Sweet Chin Music)

The original Bull Hammer/Souvenir (like the one he hit here @1:14)was a great looking move, imo.


Got wimped out once they threw out the set-up for it and opted instead for the 'out of nowhere' gimmick.
 
Superman punch.
Big shows knock out punch.
Any type of punch.....
