There was a textbook one on this past Raw.
Brie Bella is doing the Daniel Bryan kicks to Paige, who is on her knees.
Brie must have kicked her ten times, but, at no time did Paige ever think about raising her arms to block the kicks. It was as though Paige's arms were glued to her sides. It looked ridiculous.

Just an unneeded reminder that this is a work.

Micheal Cole with sayings like "She calls herself the Lass-Kicker" "She calls that the figure 8"
No you fucking idiot. YOU"RE the commentator, YOU call them those things. Whats worse is the NXT team is being taught to start their calling of new moves that way too. "they call that the shatter machine" happened a month ago.

Just an unneeded reminder that this is a work. It actually reminded me of Animal House, with Kevin Bacon getting his ass paddled and saying, "Thank you, Sir. May I have another."

Uhhhh, announcers get the names of the moves from the wrestlers, giving them credit for the names isn't terrible. Besides I remember Jim Ross screaming "he calls that the 'Stone Cold Stunner'" back in the day.

"That's Charlotte's patented submission the Figure 8"

Considering the examples you gave are for new characters, I would think getting their nicknames and moves drove into the head of the viewer is paramount. Then you can just call it by name alone or the abbreviated versions like the AA, or simple Stunner.
Remember how ham he went for the Blue Thunderbomb when Sami Zayn hit it on Cena.

I always laugh at the patented. You can't patent a move, you can registered copyright its name. I'd love to go into a patent office and say can I patent a wrestling maneuver? They'd laugh me out of the building. No guys really you must have WWE in here once a month patenting wrestling moves.
Zekey really likes the ladies. I have started to believe he watches for the T&A without watching TNA. Brian from Eagle Creek(?) knows what I'm talking about.

Speaking of Announcers, when an Announcer says that a wrestler is "Gonna do it!!!" you can bet your life that the wrestler is "Not gonna do it!!!"

When the play-by-play guy doesn't know the name of the moves or what's going on. Or when the play-by-play guy is a heel and is just lying to you.

Theme music during a run in is another, especially when it's a face doing the running. It seems pretty self-important for someone, who is supposed to be helping a friend in urgent need, to first stop off at the sound truck to tell them to cue up your music. I always did hate hearing the music, I can just picture your scenario now. JC: "Cue it up boys I'm going down to the ring!" Music hits, he runs down saluting on the way too! I mean truly? I'd just run my ass down there and kick some ass, WHY forshadow and announce your entrance when you're going to try and surprise someone to kick their ass!?!?!

It's kind of the same with after a match. Sometime's the winner's music is played, but then the loser will cheap-shot the winner and stand over them, and then THEIR music will play! I always just imagine there's a guy in the back whose sole job is to play wrestler's theme music, and he'll play whoever's music he feels got the upper-hand after a match. Equally, if he sees a wrestler run passed him en route to the ring for a run-in, then he'll quickly scramble to play his music too. He's just a theme music enthusiast!

It's taught in film school that directors and writers have to assume people are stupid, and lets be completely honest......a lot are.
