Ah yes, Duggan. Especially cringeworthy in late 90's WCW when the crowds just weren't that into chanting "USA" and "Hooo" so Duggan compensated for this by spending 75% of the match clapping, chanting "USA" and yelling "Hoooo". Damn, when I had to stop hating Duggan because I felt sorry for him, that's cringe.

1) When Papa Shango used magic to make the Ultimate Warrior throw up...twice in one segment.
2) Katie Vick.
Those were lowpoints in my wrestling fandom.

The variety of times Hogan had to be inserted into an angle because the other guy wasn't thought to be good enough (Wrestlemania 4 tournament final, or vs Yokozuna at Wrestlemania 9).

I'm so glad I took a break from WWE during the Katie Vick stuff. Looks and sounds dreadful.
Here's a few more:
Sabu landing head first from that one suplex
The Hayabusa botch
Anytime Enzo attempts a wrestling move
Jackie. Gayda.
TNA copycatting WWE gimmicks
Vader popping out his eyeball
Sid's top rope big boot fail
Vince tearing both quads getting into the ring

Jake on drugs would've made that better ministry angle better.

I think Waylon Mercy had potential and Dugan was ok in his mid-south days. But yeah, otherwise cringe.
I’ll agree and disagree on NAO. Not my cup of tea but talk about getting the talent(less) over. Never was so much done with so little.

Vince McMahon revealing himself to be the "Higher Power" of the Corporate Ministry. Yeah, agreed.
It should of been Jake Roberts but he was likely extremely out of shape and lost in his many addiction problems at the time.
It'd been so epic though had he been ready to go and selected for the angle.
Huge missed opportunity there.
It's been rumored a ton to have been setup to be Don Callis but that he possibly left WWF before it all happened so they just jumped to Vince. Jackie Gayda made me cringe in my pants.... Apparently Charlie Haas felt the same way. I’ll agree and disagree on NAO. Not my cup of tea but talk about getting the talent(less) over. Never was so much done with so little. I actually think the NAO were pretty good. They clearly had nothing going for themselves and yet got themselves over enough to be put into the reforming DX which got them over even more. As far as in-ring RD wasnt anything special but he was a solid worker and could talk alongside the best of em. Gunn was VERY athletic and pretty damn built but injuries plagued him out of potential main event scenes. |

Wrestlig fans
Waiting in line overhearing autistic wrestling fans say the dumbest shit
Wrestling fans 2 sweeting in public, or anywhere really.
Wrestling fans using terms like mark and shit.
When someone shouts "wrestling...yay" at a live show.

Unfortunately, that was around the same time as the infamous Heroes of Wrestling event. I considered posting this in here earlier, but it didn't make me cringe as much as it just made me sad. |

Basically risky shit like this:
Pagano straight up lands on his head.

I cringed quite hard during that recent NJPW show in San Francisco because of the buffoon in the front row who kept swearing quite audibly, i.e. "FUCK YOU CODY!" and what not. I am by no means a prude when it comes to being vulgar, but I feel like there's an unwritten rule at sporting events that you need to shout something clever, not just profane, especially if the mics are gonna pick it up. Also, I cringe whenever a crowd chants "Holy shit"; that's the sort of thing that makes people who aren't into wrestling sure that wrestling is exclusively for idiots.

NXT crowds in general make me not even give NXT a chance aside from TakeOver once in a while.

When a wrestler is cutting a promo and doing his best to get the writers' material over and the crowd is just waiting for the pauses to go "WHUUUUT?"

Every time a wrestler dives from the top rope to the outside onto a group of wrestlers who don't even make an effort in disguising the fact they are waiting around to catch them before everybody falls down. It's too common place in wrestling these days and I hate it with a passion.
