85.If a wrestler is thrown whipped to the ropes by the back of his head, instead of bouncing off the ropes, they will propell completely over the ropes.

 

86.A chair thrown to you must be caught

87) love angles are booked for the 10 year old demographic. what about macho man and elizabeth getting married and the priest calling her simply Elizabeth? doesn't she have a second name? what about jericho drooling over Trish like a school boy? he's in his 30s yet he acts like a love struck teenager. why do love angles pretend the wholòe action only happen in the arena or on tv? what about savage kissing elizabeth and acting almost shocked? even the most idiotic mark understands macho groped liz during their famed career, come on...

 

88) the sopranos can kill people, use racial stereotypes. sean penn can film a movie about 9/11... but if it happens in wrestling, then all hell breaks loose.

Being a man in stripes, I can answer a few of those.

 

27. Even though you may be able to bodyslam a 700 lb man, you will have immense trouble walking around a 130lb referee when he is holding you back.

 

That's what I call putting my foot down.

 

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

 

 

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

 

Actually, 3/4 of the time now, we have to be woken up. As in, being shaken by the heel's manager or ally.

89.A superplex( where your body is dropped almost ten from the air)is more likely to get kicked out of than a Rock Bottom( Barely comes two feet off the ground).

90) Even though the they have the same reaction, a wrestler missing someone with a dropkick causes far more damage to them than if they actually hit it.

Creepy, I was going to say the same thing after watching that Funaki/ Rhyno match on Heat.

 

To add on , especially front dropkicks.

[Guest PhantMan]

91) no matter what, Road Warrior Hawk never sold a piledrive. I think it's genetically impossible for him to do it.

92. Wrestlers can 'kill' people and not be arrested for it. Remember what Shane did to Kane and the car exposion?

93. In a cage match, the person never bothers to wait by the door as soon as the bell rings and run back out of it.

Don't mean to sound like a picky arse, but Brian Pillman once explained how that works. When you hit a dropkick, you push your legs out expecting to make impact with the chest of your opponent, so you adjust your body accordingly. When you miss the dropkick, you don't make contact with the opponent, meaning your feet are not able to push off from the opponents body, thus causing you to land awkwardly and knocking the wind out of you.

 

Damn, I do sound like a picky arse

94. Even if the Almighty God himself ran the company with all the power given unto Him; a referee's decision is always final, set in stone, concrete, unbreakable.

 

But a rematch can always be booked on the spot.

Huh, I never knew that. Well, since I'm too lazy to go back and change it, just ignore mine.

[Guest PhantMan]

that's why pillman was different from them all.

95. Wrestlers can rip the doors of HIAC and shatter bullet proof glass, yet they can't knock down an Undertaker.

96.When one is attempting a save from an assault of his friend in the ring and the attacker escapes to the floor, the one making the save cannot leave the boundaries of the ropes.

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

97. When a wrestler wins a match the theme music automatically plays. Even though there was no announced winner.

[Guest Greg Valentine]

42. If you're a heel and you mistreat a lady JR will call you a bastard and damn you to hell.

42a. ...Until you turn face.

[Guest reshad974]

should they get rid of all this stupid rules, they would be on the right track once again....

98. Never pose on the ramp or you'll get ambushed.

 

99.When someone in a tables match goes for a superplex the tag partner will move the table.

 

100.When someone has finished a beatdown and no music plays someone is about to run in and attack them.

 

101.In a rumble/battle royal never grab another guy and hang over the ropes or someone will push both of you over.

 

I knew we'd get 100+

[TheFranchise 0]

Do we have to stop at 101?

 

Someone change the title to Wrestling 201

[Guest netslob]

off-topic, but:

 

Don't you wish you were the banana right about damn now?

[JST 0]

I been meaning to change that...

102. Any HLA angle will not involve attractive women.

[Mrnoitaull 0]

103. Slow struggles to drop your opponent over the ropes during a royal rumble is never successful.

 

104. Delivering an elbow drop on an opponenet through a table seems to be more effective than performing such a move on an inpermiable surface.

105. Before putting a wrestler through the announce table you move the monitors.

[TheFranchise 0]

106. When whipping an apponent into a turnbuckle, you must do so in such a fashion that he ends up back first, rather than front first.

 

106a. Unless you're Bret Hart, who saw sense and whipped them front first a few timess.

[Guest croweater]

- keeping it going

107- Any weapon used in a normal match will have 1/10th of the effect if used in a hardcore environment

108. When wrestling Bradshaw you whip him into the corner and you always receive a Clothesline From Hell when you miss the charge into the corner.

[Guest BlueStang302]

109. When kicked in the back by his opponent's partner, one will ALWAYS roll off the downed opponent even if the referee had already gotten to 2 and 3/4.

 

110. When the "hot tag" occurs, both heel opponents will enter the ring to try and subdue the fresh face. However, one will only attack after the other had been bodyslammed or dropkicked and so on. No matter how badly and how long the other face had been beaten prior to the tag, he will storm into the ring again within 30 seconds.

 

111. When a doubleteam occurs, even well-mannered faces will suddenly become hostile and argumentative, sparring verbally with the referee for minutes on end. Despite all his strength and quickness, the referee will ALWAYS manage to stop him from helping his partner. Also, the referee will NEVER believe him and turn around.

 

111a. He will also not believe him when he says that a tag was made.

112: Never, ever attempt a running shoulder block to an opponent in the corner. You will miss and hit the ring post.
