Jeff Hardy's double leg drop is supposed to do something besides hit the balls. I'm pretty sure it's to pull the groin muscles (LOL) or hamstrings or something. JR explained it this way, at least.
Sting's headbutt and Rey's dropkick are considered accidental. Ditto with the drop toe hold to a headbutt to the groin. It's something that the referee's let slide because they weren't trying it on purpose. The commentators usually mention it being questionable (one saying yes or the other saying no). Other times the referees do a slapstick expression and sometimes the commentators mention it being accidental, as opposed to Flair's blatant nut grabs. Granted, if done too often they look planned and ruin the spots. WCW was pretty good with only doing them every once in a while and thus making them look accidental for the most part, though.
Sometimes in big time matches, the referee will use discretion to let a lowblow slide if the champ is a heel. (or other DQ offenses like the 5 count on choke, thumb to the eye, etc.)
(p.s. it's all fake anyways LOL)
