I've heard someone mention before about a certain 'handshake' that some wrestlers do backstage to greet each other. Something to do with extending your index and middle finger out and shaking with those two fingers instead of your whole hand.
Can someone please explain the reasoning behind this? Thanks.

no they take the index and middle finger and stick it up each others asses. Quite typical in every sport really

You know, I've actually heard of this. I think it was a "back in the day" thing though.

Oh it's real. And it's real gay. But I ain't about to let y'all know the secrete hand shake.

The reasoning behind it is that backstage there is basically a middle school attitude, with unspoken cliques and other traditions...

On a side note, anyone at all shocked I chose a NAO/James Gang pic to display it with?

Ftr, that isn't exactly it. You do the two fingers like you are shaking hands, you know right hand shakes right hand. If you grip the finger that means you don't like the guy, if you do it loose there is no heat between the two of you.

In shawn michaels book, he talks of the loose handshake, but it got scrapped after a while, not sure about this though.

What middle school did YOU go to? That kind of thing developed in high school where I'm from.
