I'm of the opinion that if it takes you more than 5 seconds to climb a turnbuckle/jump over a rope and you have to prepare for your launch, you shouldn't be doing it.
Only an absolute select few can do it today and make it look realistic - Ospreay, Ricochet, Kommander, etc.
I hate hate hate when the spot is set up and everyone congregates on the floor waiting for the jump. I hate when they give the performer tons of time to prep. It really takes away from it all.
Also, when wrestlers do things like cartwheels to attack people, it looks so dumb and fake. Only Jack Cartwheel should be doing cartwheels to attack. It looks really bad when anyone does it, I feel like I'm watching Ninja Warrior or something.
A punch, a lariat, or a quick german suplex is soooo much more believable.
This is why I got turned off from WWE/NXT. Big moves, looks fake, may as well watch gymnastics at the Olympics.
