Moves/spots that you hate

[Guest papacita]

Is there a move or spot that you HATE? The only one I can think of out of the top of my head is the Impaler/Edgecution. I kinda liked it when Gangrel was doing it, but now Edge has made me hate the move. Him hitting it on Rhyno in last years KOTR seemed too damn unrealistic. And the Litarana. That just pisses me off. Anyway...what are yours? I NEED ANSWERS!!!!

[Guest The Man in Blak]

Ref bump spots and double-pin german suplex sposts always piss me off.  Always.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

I hated Chyna's shitty move. the name escapes me at the moment, the tumbling elbow in the corner. it was horrible.

 

the big boot and leg drop. Do i need to explain?

[Guest easye46]

Top rope walk of doom - undertaker

The worm, People's Elbow, Bronco Buster..

just generally stupid moves..

[Guest Will Scarlet]

I always hate when Angle locks on the Anklelock against anything remotely resembling a main eventer, especially when he has on it for like 3 or 4 minutes with him cranking on the ankle.  Eventually, the main eventer just casually rolls forward, then the match goes on like it was nothing.  I have nothing against the move, but how am I supposed to believe a move is at all effective if I see someone who has the move on for a long time, and his opponent is STILL not tapping out?  It just totally destroys the move, and makes the whole thing look silly in my opinion.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

rock's belly to belly

rock's sharpshooter

rock's dragonscrew legwhip

 

they're horrible. we all know that.

[Guest The Man in Blak]

You know, the whole Ankle lock in general bugs me.  Ever since I saw Shane McMahon counter it in the most logical (and non-chalant way), it really looks stupid for guys like the Rock to flop around like a dying fish.

 

Of course, that may be more on the shoulders of Shane than anything.

[Guest Dace59]

Him hitting it on Rhyno in last years KOTR seemed too damn unrealistic

 

Rhyno was the only person that took it right for Edge (at 45 degrees) I loved it.

 

As far as the Ankle  lock goes.. complain that nearly no one at all in the WWF can sell for more than 10 seconds tops (sweeping statement which can easily be proved wrong, but should only be taken to expan the point)

 

For it's application.. Angle should start doing an Step over Ankle lock:

How it works...

Apply Ankle lock, when opp. rolls over onto front to espcae the hold, step your far leg over the leg you have the hold on, use that to roll them over onto their back again (if they rolled right, roll them right again, and vise versa)

And then your far leg will be over the leg you have the hold on, sit down onto the leg... and the opps. going nowhere but to tap out land.

I kind of get annoyed watching the Swanton Bomb. Most people tend to like it and think it is just "awesome" but I could never understand what was so cool about it considering how little contact is made when the move actually hits.

 

Shane McMahon stealing moves from wrestlers and stealing heat from the wrestlers is rather annoying as well, although this hasn't occurred in awhile, thank god.

 

The people's elbow gets annoying because for one, the setup is just to long for someone to remain laying there and two, it is not in the least a credible finisher.  I am sure there some others I could mention but I will save them for later I guess..

[Guest Dace59]

That's cuz Jeff can't do a somersault senton to save his life. His version if horribel to say the least.

Sean O'Haire's (sp?) was far better. I don't think anyone with wide wrestling taste likes the Swanton, they might like Somersault Sentons, but not the Swanton.

 

They're is only one way to "steal" a move in wrestling.. and that's to use someone elses move that they invented and them go on the record in an interview or such and say you made that move up, and you've never seen or heard of the moves creater before (Ala Nova with the Spin Doctor/Last Rites even though he used to tag with Daniels)

 

Other wise it's just copying really... but still, maybe he could have broken someing else out at WM against Vince.

[Guest]

The Ankle lock as done by Angle is a retarded finisher. Angle going to his feet and twisting the guy's foot makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. From a vertical base it's an incredibly easy move to counter/reverse. Hell, just kick the guy in the fucking face with the free leg! At least when Shamrock did it, he would stay in a low position (sometimes over his opponents back) so that his opponent's leverage was minimized. Angle's application of it is god awful.

[Guest]

1.) The Worm- No explination needed

 

2.) Chyna's hanspring elbow: It just looked so shitty.

 

3.) The Scorpion King Deathlock: The Rock just totally blasphemes the move.

 

4.) The Stink Face: Ewww.....plus, it should be reserved for AFTER matches.

[Guest Raven_Effect01]

The Worm

Chyna's handspring backflip elbow

Scorpion King Deathlock

Stinkface

Bronco Buster

Ref bumps

RVD's shoulder ram into a backflip

[Guest Nater]

1. The Worm

2. The Stinkface

3. People's Elbow

4. Boot -> Leg Drop

5. Punches off the top rope.

 

Flying headbutts, elbows, legdrops, crosschops, slams and anything else that is an impact move are all OKAY ..but not a fucking punch. Honestly we see 1000's of them in a month, why is a flying one gonna be that much special?

[Guest Mystery Eskimo]

I'm kinda sick of the spear being used, especially as a finisher.

[Guest converge241]

The worm and people's elbow.. just doubly awful because they dont ahve any impact, plus people have to sell extra long to set up the moves. At least the worm hasnt won a match for Scotty (as far as I can remember), but Rock gets pinfall wins with it all the time. WHy is that? I mean, he has the Rock Bottom which looks somewhat devastating in the context of wrestling..

 

The "i really want to hurt this guy, so im going to powerbomb him through the table...............but not before i take out the tv monitors so i dont really hurt him." Why dont they just have the monitors on their own little stands next to the announce table?

 

multiple ref bumps. I can live with one, once in a while.

 

The most hated spot of all? That one on Dusty rhode's stomach!! what is that?

[Guest The Mighty Damaramu]

I kind of get annoyed watching the Swanton Bomb. Most people tend to like it and think it is just "awesome" but I could never understand what was so cool about it considering how little contact is made when the move actually hits.

 

It's cooler when the opponent is standing and The Great Sasuke does it.

[Guest JHawk]

Got to get my two cents in on the most pathetic move in sports entertainment today, the People's Elbow.  OK, it looks cool as hell.  But could somebody explain to me how it hurts any more than a regular elbowdrop?  He doesn't even jump in the air, he just falls on the guy.  I could believe the freaking abdominal stretch as a finisher before the People's Elbow, and that's sad.

[Guest Anglesault]

I HATE the Cruiser "Flop around the ring and end in a god damned motherfucking arm drag" spot.

[Guest Slingshot Suplex]

The Bronco Buster sucks ass through a straw as does the X Factor (oddly enough X Pac doesn't bother me other than those two moves.That and he seems to beat everybody)

 

The running spalsh/avalanche into the corner...mostly because it seems to be a staple move of the Missouri indy fed I've seen.....probably a dozen per show.zzzzzz

[Guest razazteca]

worst move by a luchadore:

 

running off the ropes then hitting the body scissors on the opponet which is usually turned into a face buster, or the oppponet lifts the attacker up then gets arm dragged.  Very few wrestlers pull the move off the way it is supposed to be....Victory Roll!!!

 

Kidman's powerbomb reversal

 

XPac/Rey Misterio Jr bronco buster

 

big guys doing Cruiserweight moves, Awesome frog splash, O'Haire Swanton bomb

[Guest]

I fucking hate double ko's when both guys come off the ropes and hit each other, they don't even try to make it look real.

[Guest]

Moves: People's Elbow, WORM, ANY of Goldust's so-called "finishing moves."

 

Spots: The only spot that really makes me say "What the Fuck?!" out loud is, for example, say Kurt Angle was wrestling Triple H in a No DQ match. Kurt Angle locks in a submission hold, yet Triple H makes it to the ropes. This is a NO DQ match here, yet the ref would STILL make Angle break the hold. THAT pisses me off.  This has happened in Cage matches too! I understand the thinking that "well, if they didn't force them to break - then said wrestler could be locked in the submission hold forever!" But even still, they could do a reversal spot, or a spot where the receiving wrestler just won't give up and the other wrestler eventually releases the hold of his own accord.

 

*argh*

 

That spot bothers me.  It also bothers me that the "ring out" count only matters when they want to use it. Fucking idiots. Why not just get rid of it alltogether, like Tag Ropes. ;p

[Guest Vyce]

I hate pretty much all offense from Bradshaw, Big Show, Lita & The Hardy Boyz.  

 

Chyna's handspring elbow was so bad because she couldn't do it properly.  Even after all of the handsprings, she would basically just back up into her opponent, thus totally negating the purpose of the move.  To see how it's supposed to be done, check out Muta back during the late 80s / early 90s.

Kurt Angle locks in a submission hold, yet Triple H makes it to the ropes. This is a NO DQ match here, yet the ref would STILL make Angle break the hold. THAT pisses me off.  

 

I specifically remember this happening during Rock / Austin at WM X-7.  Before the match occurred, it was changed to a no-DQ contest, and I guess no one told Earl Hebner, because several times he would call for a break to a submission (or an illegal move like a choke) when the man reached the ropes.  FINALLY, towards the later part of the match, Austin heeled it up and refused to break the submissions, but it was frustrating there for a while.

 

But now that you've brought this up - how about the ref calling for a break in general?  Unless they changed the rules, I thought that they had a 5 count.  Yet you NEVER see someone go the full 5....I remember back in the day in the WWF, the heels would choke the faces in the corner, and get 2 or 3 five counts with nothing but a warning from the ref.  Nowadays, it seems as if they go to a five-count, it's an automatic DQ.

[Guest Dace59]

Nowadays, it seems as if they go to a five-count, it's an automatic DQ.  

 

That's what it's meant to be.

I've seen it happen once in recent years.. Tajiri vs. Rhyno in heat for US Title I think.

Tajiri got Rhyno in the Tarantutla, didn't let got at five, and got DQed, so protecting both guys. Think it was a gruge match for some reason.

[Guest]

RVD's shoulder-rammy backflippy thing. WTF is that backflip for? To give that last devestating shoulder ram a little extra oomph?

 

I'd also say the People's Elbow, but that only really bothered me when Rock used it as a finisher, which he hasn't done for a long time. Thankfully. And though I love Tajiri, the Tarantula--as well as any signature spot that can get you DQ'ed--is pretty stupid.

[Guest]

People forget that the People's Elbow was also invented as a parody move for the heel Rock character that was supposed to get laughed at and booed by the crowd, but it caught on and the crowd likes it so it's still done for crowd pops. And other than WM-X8 vs. Hogan, the last time I remember the Rock winning a significant match with it is Summerslam 2000.

 

Another bad finisher is Angle's Angle Slam. It's basically a Samoan drop where Angle rotates a bit while he's doing it. Angle's regular German suplex looks like it hurts more.

[Guest Special K]

The usuals are the boot->leg drop, people's elbow, worm, Rockshooter, Rock belly2belly.

 

Other things: RVD used to do these spots in ECW when he'd backflip to pick up a chair. I love RVD, but it looked ridiculously overdone, and he often fucked it up. Jericho's bulldoggy thing is way too loose. any discus punch/clotehsline type spot (DDP did it worst). Also, even though it looks cool, I've never really understood why the flatliner/downward spiral would be finish-worthy.

 

I also hate the lucha arm drag.

[Guest Dace59]

Angle's Angle Slam. It's basically a Samoan drop where Angle rotates a bit while he's doing

 

It's a spinning torture rack drop.

 

Jericho's bulldoggy thing is way too loose.

 

That's becuase it's not a bulldog, it's a face crusher.. two DIFFERENT moves.

[Guest Tha Cunnysmythe]

That retarded cruiserweight move where they put their leg over their opponents neck, and use it as leverage to do a backflip. Why? It's not a move, it achieves nothing except the occasional clothesline to the eye.
