44. Anytime a wrestler uses a new gimmick, even though he may look pretty much the same, there is to be no comparison or mention that said wrestler may be that person.

44a. This rule does not apply if the purpose of said gimmick is to embarrass the wrestler.

28. The arm never drops the third time when the ref is checkin a submission like a sleeper hold or chinlock.

I actually believe that Money Inc. beat the Natural Disasters for the WWF Tag Titles on WWF Superstars in around 1992 when Dibiase made Earthquakes arm drop 3 times. I SWEAR!!!!!!

Indeed, although I think it was the Million Dollar Dream that was set up by like two or three sleeper holds in a row by DiBiase and IRS. It was actually kind of neat when I think about it since it was a clean win by a pair of little guys on big guys that didn't have that sort of KO moment where they hit him with something.

46. You can always have conversations with other people or wrestlers and even though the whole world might have seen it on TV and the crowd seen it on the big screens.......nobody backstage saw it.

That's basically the same as Rule 8.

[Guest Repo Man Reborn]

Extremes MUST be used when describing EVERYTHING.

 

 

 

"Ladies and Gentleman, you are witnessing the greatest PPV in the history of our sport!"

 

"BAH GAWD, THAT WAS MOST HELLATIOUS DDT I'VE EVER SEEN!"

 

"This may be the greatest match ever created in professional wrestling, fans!"

that last time i've seen it happen was in 2002(2003?) when HHH beat Jeff and Spike with the MAin Event Sleeper.

 

And i think he also got one fall on the Rock in their Iron Man match 4 years ago.

 

this means HHH's sleeper is the most powerful move in professional wrestling.ever.

47. When Rikishi bodysplashes you, the bottom turnbuckle magically becomes a magnet for the heels. Heels must make all effort to escape but they will be drawn to that turnbuckle sitting right down on their ass.

 

48. If somebody a head smaller than you, their chair shots will have no effect whatsoever.

 

49. All belts are made of adamantium and use of one as a weapon will result in complete unconciousness, with no handicaps on size for either attacker or defender.

 

50. Whoever gets beat down on the TV event before the Pay Per view is guaranteed to win against their opponent.

 

50a. This rule doesn't apply to HHH. HHH always wins.

[Mrnoitaull 0]

51.Whenever a punches are traded between two people on one turnbuckle the loser must fall and lay vertical to the turnpost. <void for RVD>

 

52. As a face, one would take on an entire army of heel opponents in the ring ( sometimes even prevailing in clearing the ring) but when turning heel, that smae person would begin to flee the ring, feel inferior or even run from the least threatful opponent.(i.e., Stone Cold, HHH)

52a. Does not apply to Undertaker

 

52a1. Unless you have stolen the Undertaker's urn and unscrewed it to reveal green smoke or one of those mini spotlights used to advertise car dealerships.

[Guest netslob]

53. Putting your feet on the ropes makes you heavier then normal.

 

54. getting hit in the BACK of the head with a chair somehow makes your FORE-head bleed.

 

55. wearing bandages around your ribs makes them heal faster and are completely invisable to your opponent.

 

56. 2 heels discussing their nefarious plans always fail to notice the third man in the room with the 100 lb. black thing on his shoulder.

 

57. it's only possible to poke someone in ONE eye, never both.

 

58. having been a football player makes you a good wrestler.

 

59. it's possible to recover from the pain of getting kicked as HARD AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE in the nuts in less then 60 seconds.

 

60. being called a "hoss" is something to aspire to.

 

61. Bobby Eaton cannot perform a top rope splash unless Stan Lane tickles his balls first.

[TheFranchise 0]

62. Referee's get more heat in Canada than most top stars.

 

63. If a wrestler is pushed into the ME scene after only being in the midcard two months earlier, logic suggests he has no talent or heat.

[WrestlingDeacon 0]

57a. Unless you are Roddy Piper AND do said double eyepoke immediately following an atomic drop.

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

58. If you by any chance loose a loser leaves town match you will not leave town or the organization you are wrestling for, actually you will be brought back and pushed further than before.

59.During an illegal submission, the ref never exceeds four.

[DCMaximo 0]

60. No matter how diabolical your past discretions, turning face makes you instantly purer than the freshly fallen snow

 

61. If you kick someone more than two times in a row, you have "educated feet"

 

63. No matter how much debris has been scattered throughout the ring from the use of an illegal object, the ref will never question where it came from

 

64. Patriotism is GOOD

 

65. Unless you're not American

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

64. Patriotism is GOOD

 

65. Unless you're not American

Shouldn't this be 64a?

65.When fighting certain wrestlers, opponents become completely ignorant to vulnerablity to signature attack positions.(i.e., The Worm,619,The Stink Face)

 

66.The forehead is the only area of the body which a pro wrestling character can bleed ( void for Flair and Benoit).

 

67.Signaling your finishing move too ealry before pulling it off will most likely cause it to be reversed.

[DangerousDamon 0]

68. Jake Roberts DDT is the end all and be all of DDTs.

 

 

(However, Raven's is just as equally powerful. So it makes that exception like 68a or 68 v.2.0)

[deancoles 0]

69. The Ringside Steps weigh anything between 50-200 pounds.

WHAT??? I thought they were at least 2000 pounds.

The one that stands out for me is when Hogan's arm went down 3 times in Lesnar's bearhug, because he NEVER let the arm fall, despite getting into the situation tons of times.

70) Wrestlers lose 'pints' of blood at a time, yet can still fight.

 

71) Referees don't actually think they'll get knocked down when a wrestler sets up a slingshot, whilst said ref is in the aimed-for corner.

 

72) When referees wake up just in time to count pinfalls, it's purely co-incidence.

 

73) It is possible to stop a third count short during a pinfall everytime, in the same position, JUST in time...even for the closest nearfalls.

 

74) Referees only check feet on ropes or shoulder on the mat when it affects a decision.

 

75) Using your opponent's finisher on them will 9 times out of 10 not be as effective as them using it on you.#

 

EDIT:

 

76) Forgotten embarassing gimmicks or moments can only be brought up by comedic faces like The Rock, or when the recipient is in the bad books.

 

77) There really is no escape from Hell In A Cell.

 

78) All people of enthnic minorities or nationalities other than American always represent that nationality's sterotype.

 

78a) Note, for the WWE, this does not include the Irish Drunk.

[J.B. Buzzkill 0]

79) A wrestler can almost never kick out at a one-count.

[King Cucaracha 0]

80) Different colors of mist, used of course only by Japanese wrestlers, do different amounts of damage. Examples being that black is more deadly than green. Red is kind of middle of the road.

[Guest Fook]

81. Any bleeding from the mouth is a signal of "internal injuries".

[J.B. Buzzkill 0]

82) A wrestler cutting a promo or shown backstage MUST be wearing a personalized outfit ( i.e., Jericho) or a piece of WWE merchandise.

 

82a) Does not apply to Evolution.

83) Chloroform stinks unbelievably and an ounce can be smelled from all corners of the arena. (Especially if you're Bobby Heenan)

[Guest OnlyMe]

Similar to #69...

 

84) If you are commentating, and have to refer to the weight or height of something, estimate the value, double it, and then add a bit on.

[WrestlingDeacon 0]

84a. Then take that number and add 600 pounds on top of it when Hulk Hogan goes to bodyslam the other wrestler.
