What has wrestling taught you?

[JoeDirt]

What have you learned from watching wrestling for so many years?

 

For me? If I'm ever in a fight with a Samoan, I'll know not to try to headbutt him.

 

You?

[yankovic fan]

I learned the definition of the word "Conspicuous" though never the correct spelling.

 

I know I learned other words, but cannot think of them offhand.

 

I learned that the adverb "Very" can indeed modify the noun "Ring" despite the grammatical rule of "adverbs modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs."

[GreatWhiteNope]

Added "self-proclaimed" into my vocabulary at a very early age.

 

Also added the phrase "assume the position" which made for some awkward moments in elementary school.

[razazteca]

The definition of the word "attrition". A simple leather glove can knock anybody out....especially if it was hidden.

[The Niggardly King]

I have learned that every Samoan is related in some sort of fashion.

[Slickster]

I learned that pipes, chairs, steps, chain-link fence, mops, chains, brooms, bells, shovels, stools, girders, and light trusses are all made of SOLID STEEL.

LOL.

 

THE STEEL MOP! HE HIT HIM RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES WITH THAT SOLID STEEL MOP!

[BrokenTiger]

I learned that the slightest physical contact to the referee would render the guy unconcious for ages.

[Guest JebusNassedar]

I learned that squares, in actuality, are circles.

[Lil' Bitch]

Refs can't count to three and get knocked out easily. You have no friends or family in wrestling as they always wind up turning on you.

[haVoc]

Gay men are evil and/or funny.

[JoeDirt]

Gay men are evil and/or funny.

This one made me laugh.

 

I've learned that any women who doesn't want to take her clothes off for a big crowd is just an uptight bitch, and that it's COOL for girls to be slutty.

 

I've also learned that you should never hand a chair/chain/sledgehammer/etc to somebody you trust to finish your opponent off, because they'll always turn on you.

[Guest M. Harry Smilac]

Words I thought never even existed like Destrucity...oh wait

[MillenniumMan831]

I learned what the External Occipital Pretuberance is from listening to Gorilla Monsoon.

 

Plus, as Monsoon says, "Turnabout is fair play."

[Guest Staravenger]

I suddenly start using the word "Proverbial" in many discussions that have nothing to do with wrestling.

 

When watching Boxing and someone is bleeding, I reffer to it as a Crimson Mask.

 

Whenever a fight between the Yanks/Red Sox breaks out, I call it a slobber knocker.

 

Damn Jim Ross....

[King Cucaracha]

If you see a co-worker once every couple of months, and then suddenly you begin to notice him around more and more until it seems he's everywhere you go...stay well away, because he's about to turn on you.

 

Also, cameramen are invisible.

[Guest Fook]

It's possible for two guys to punch each other in the face 50 times without either one of them being seriously hurt.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Gorilla Monsoon taught me more about anatomy than my Anatomy teacher.

[Guest Staravenger]

Didn't Monsoon say male wrestlers had a cervix? I remember I think at Wrestlemania VI he said it when Warrior was getting whooped, and Ventura corrects him on it.

 

Maybe it was another show, but it was damn funny.

[CanadianChick]

I've learned that any women who doesn't want to take her clothes off for a big crowd is just an uptight bitch, and that it's COOL for girls to be slutty.

True. As a girl, I now know that I have to lose my virginity as soon as possible, because no one likes a prudish virgin!

[Guest SoCalTF]

I learned to never trust a friend when fighitng because they might turn on you and cut a promo on you.

 

You can be thrown into a grave, and be burried but can survive.

 

Kane's face went from burnt to normal in a span of under a week.

[Guest Staravenger]

Kane had the magically surgery in an episode of Tales From The Crypt where you can switch the face and body of another person.

[MillenniumMan831]

Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat.

[CanadianChick]

Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat.

I told that to my teachers. They didn't see it my way. They spent extra attention on me at test time after that, for some odd reason.

[Guest ally mccoist]

I learned that apparently mules work for the government.

[ChrisMWaters]

Anything that is usually against the law is legal as long as you do it in an arena.

 

Canada and America are natural enemies.

 

Shaking ropes repeatedly can give you energy.

[Cheech Tremendous]

If you ever think of killing, raping, stealing or committing any other serious crime, due it on Raw or Smackdown. The cops will never arrest or even question you.

 

On the other hand, never threaten the General Manager of the show, or you are likely to be hauled off to prison until the following week.

[Guest Staravenger]

Anything that is usually against the law is legal as long as you do it in an arena.

This reminds me of a Ventura rant during Summerslam 89. Warrior I think hit Rude with a chair outside the ring, and Ventura wants a DQ. Schiavone said the referee can't do anything because it's outside. Ventura then asks in a "you dumbass" way would it be legal if he used a gun to shoot him.

Of course at SummerSlam 1991 Heenan added in . . . "But never get caught" to the end of that line. Hopefully, that part will help ya out a little bit this year.

You haven't already?

 

Prude.
