Stupid things we have come to accept as normal
 

like a wrestler being fine after jumpng of the top turnbuckle and landing on a boney wrestler but feeling hurt after landing on a padded canvas which is meant to cushion a fall..can you think of others?

Being able to win cage matches by escaping through an open door.

Irish whips

A wrestler getting smashed in the back or shoulder and selling the pain to his face/back of the head.

Tables breaking or bending when little weight is on top of it.

Ref bumps.

Wrapping your stomach in bandages cures internal injuries.

Nothing that happens at a House Show actually "happens", unless there's a title change that isn't reversed the next House Show.

Referees lose all peripheral hearing when their backs are turned.

The titian tron doesn't exist unless there's a reason for it to exist.

Wrestlers don't see each other between episodes of Raw, and therefore have to wait a week to discuss what happened last week.

The titles mean something, even when they don't.

Oh, also that Jeff Hardy is straight, and CM Punk is straight edge.

That Shawn Michaels is a Christian.

Very rarely will you get arrested for unsanctioned attacks, and even if you do you'll be out within 24 hours, even if your victim required 86 stitches.

That Dancing before doing an elbow drop or falling punch makes them so much more powerful that they render opponents unconscious after several chair shots did nothing of the sort.

That instead of firing a man whom for attacking you, as a boss, you use your power create matches in your favor.

Oh, who can forget the obvious. The Dead can rise, and they choose to engage in sports entertainment on Friday Nights.

Zombies are real and wear cowboy hats.

Dammit MAH. :(

Mexican midgets wear rocket boots and bust through floors.

ECW still exists.

It's best to explain your devious plans in detail in "private" in front of a TV camera and crew.

A wrestler gets hundreds of moves done to them with little results, but accidentaly running into a ref will knock them completely unconscience for a good 10 minutes...and for some reason despite being knocked out every month, none of the refs have serious cuncussions...

There are always count-outs in one-on-one matches. Except in the WrestleMania main event.

Bolts and screws will only pop out of a ring if Big Show is Superplexed by Brock Lesnar.

If someone is on their back and you pick up their legs and fall backwards, they will fly through the air.

2 men can become great friends despite one trying to kill the other a few months ago.

If you attack a women get back at your enemy, or use one as a shield for your protection, you're the devil. If you attack a woman because you're drunk and she didn't drink the beer you gave her, then she deserved it.

KHALI is awesome

lol Irish Whips :lol:

Celebrities have just as much chance of winning a wrestling match as the trained veteran athlete they are facing.

John Cena

Blacks are people

Surprise guests having their music played. Despite no-one knowing they were there.

Rey Mysterio becoming the World HEAVYWEIGHT Champion

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Stephanie McMahon once owned ECW.

The Boogeyman

A simple leg-drop as a finisher.

Wrestlers crawling towards the corners in order to make the tag.
Jr calling out wrong wrestling moves.
Wrestlers hitting the mat with their foot while punching their opponents.

The fact that no announcers, security, or other wrestlers ever seem to interrupt the severe and potentially lethal assault of a wrestler in broad daylight in front of a crowd of thousands.

That no one ever bends all the way down anymore when applying the Boston Crab....or that the Walls of Jericho always looked better in WCW as the Liontamer

Steve Austin drinks LIGHT beer.

It's okay to call people with issues (Kane) retarded, but not retards (Hacksaw, Eugene, Cena)

Chris Masters.

.....WWE booking post 2002

The Samoan Umaga cannot speak a word of English, yet can somehow communicate with the Cuban Armando Estrada.

Also, island boys have such hard heads that any attack on the head of an island boy will backfire on the opponent.

Not to mention that he used to perfectly understand Bischoff as part of 3 Minute Warning... :shifty:

You would be surprised how true that one is actualy. I have played Rugby with a lot of Islanders over the years and my god they have skulls like bowling balls, Samoans and Fijians especially.

That a Mummy was Thawed from a Block of Ice, going by the name The Yeti

That oldtime wrestlers in their 50s and even 60s can outlast and beat athletes in their 20s and 30s.

That the referee doesn't realise that chairs are being used behind his back, even though the chairshot can be heard around the entire arena.

That heels don't get suspicious when they suddenly hear a huge pop, and
think to look for a face wrestler heading in their direction through the crowd/down the ramp.

:D Yeah, in some cases, the heels even act like they think the cheers are for them.

The placement of cameras. We are supposed to take it as normal that wrestlers discuss "private" things in front of a camera, and other wrestlers don't see the stuff.

For example, Christian and Jericho make their secret bet in front of a camera, and Trish doesn't see or hear about it. And then when Jericho pours his heart out, she doesn't see that he really cares either. Utter cheese that you accept because its just how things are and it's awesome.

Another example is when a wrestler gets in a car or what not to run someone down or whatever. Without fail, theres a camera man positioned in the passenger seat.

<font color=goldenrod>When a heel tag team makes a tag behind the referee's back, it obviously really happened. When a face team does it, the refs think they are lying bastards and disallow it.</font>

Actually, I could've sworn before the whole Jericho/Christian bet was put on camera. I remember it being somewhat intriguing for a few weeks why Jericho was suddenly saving and helping Trish Stratus and why Christian did the same for Lita.

Especially to the ribs.

The ref USUALLY doesn't notice when the ropes are shaking after using illegal leverage for submissions.

I've only seen a ref break it once because they were shaking. I think it was Chioda who broke it.

The more you flip/spin before landing on someone, the more it will hurt them.

The Stone Cold Stunner has the force to flip you two-to-three times.

And send you six feet in the air, if you happen to be called the Rock or Shane McMahon.

That WWE will never grow the balls to end Cena's face push and turn him heel

The idea that a company should cater to what the people want is the idea that makes money, and yet somehow WWE is still making money.

that matches on tv always seem to go to commercial at the perfect time (like when a wrestler's been dumped out of the ring)

Heres a small one. Everytime sweet chin music is delivered, it knocks the opponent out and drops them backwards (fair enough), HOWEVER, without fail, when HHH is in the ring DX style, they stay standing and stumbled towards him for a pedigree too

Being an abused bastard child that had to see his mother and step-father killed in a fire that his brother set, then going so crazy and setting his brother and Jim Ross on fire, as well as tombstoning Vince McMahon's wife and shocking the balls of his son, not only doesn't that get this man fired and thrown in a jail or asylum, but it keeps him gainfully employeed, and garners enough trust and confidence that his boss is willing to produce a movie that he stars in.

Kane is awesome.

The Godfather was able to avoid being arrested for pimping despite several hours of video evidence against him.

That's nothing new.

99% of the time, a stunner will put a wrestler on their back. I can remember watching a episode of RAW back in the Attitude era where HHH got stunned by Austin, dropped to his knees, immediately stood back up and got rock bottomed by Rocky.

I was a goddamn mark who thought it was real then and even then I was going :nono:

Incidentally, when a pimp is arrested, what exactly is he charged with? I doubt that a judge sits up there and says "you are hereby charged with multiple counts of pimping in the second degree."

Defense: "It ain't eaza."

I'm always thinking that.

Judge: Call the next case.
Bailiff: The state of California vs a Mr. God Father, aka Mr. Good Father, aka Mr. Papa Shango, voodoo priest.
Defense Attorney: Your honor, my client's religious beliefs are not a matter for this case.
Godfather: If you think pimpin' ain't eaza, try making motor oil come out of the Ultimate Warrior's head.
Judge: Make it? How can you stop it?

The Professional Wrestling business tbh. I mean that with the most affection.

Well really, most of this stuff isn't much of a disparage, it's just part of the suspension of disbelief that allows us to enjoy wrestling.
Except the ref bumps, they need to stop that.

nah, bumping refs is just as much a part of the wrestling industry as bumping coke is

Ok then they need to stop doing it so damn much.

It's the writing team's crutch. Like poop jokes and Triple H title runs.

In an era where fans CRAVE unpredictability...Wrestling organizations are still so lazy that they give us matches with an opponent already in the ring with no intro music and expect fans to believe that the match can go either way.


Thus far the scoreboard reads:

INTRO MUSIC
1,150,928

ALREADY IN THE RING
0





Christ, even the Washington Generals have beaten the Harlem Globetrotters at least once.....

Remember when Kane came out for a match with some random no-music-already-in-the-ring fellah that no-one had seen before? That fella went on to KILL HIS FUCKING BABY. And it wasn't his fault, either.

1,150,927 to 1.

hmmm Stupid things we accept as normal.....Easy answer...wrestling

One that always got me was that when a wrestler - who could normally take punishment in a match for 15+ minutes - pulls on a referee's shirt as a special guest referee, all it takes is one punch/knock to keep em down for 5+ minutes.

Oh, if it wasn't for the power draining properties of a ref shirt Earl Hebnar could have been World Champ I tells ya!

During a proper match, it takes a wrestler a good 10 minutes before he's weakened his opponent to such an extent that he can use his finisher. But in unplanned altercations, finishers can be done after only a few punches back and forth.

In the very early 90s, Jake Roberts lost to a tuneless jobber. Of course he was blind at the time.

Also, Sean Waltman pinned Razor Ramon and Ted DiBiase in 1993, and P.J. Walker pinned I.R.S. in 1994.

Wrestling is real, until you call a gimmick-named wrestler by his real name, then it's REALLY real.

:rofl: at people like you and your healthy braincells. "OH OH, look at me...I remember stuff!!"








:shifty:


For the record, who in the blue hell is P.J. Walker....Chuck Norris's retarded cousin?

Justin Credible... So yeah.

Ohhhhhh yeah, I knew that.


Speaking of, how about changing peoples names 1000 times and expecting fans to believe the bullshit background story of the character.

(Neandercarl will of course point out that it is indeed only 997 times, not 1000.)

Or when they basically erase their histories but keep the same name and/or gimmick, like Snitsky.

Yeah, no shit.

"Look at the flashy light thingy. What you saw was a weather balloon smelling that woman's feet, not Snitsky."

Uh... No, I won't.


(It was 994.)

Umm... I was responding to Darth's post. And if "I remember..." posts were banned, there would be no TPWW.

Alienoid could keep it alive if he posted only one "Book Doug Basham for the title" scenario a day.

Umm...this ":shifty:" means I wasn't serious. I was actually making fun of my "lack" of braincells, so calm down Beavis.

I'm tired of TNA accepting Don West's commentary and Vince Russo's writing. There is nothing "normal" in TNA, everything is BIZARRE! So everything being BIZARRE has now become the "norm", so everything in TNA is "normal"...which ironically, is what they were trying to prevent with having everything be BIZARRE.

So now, anything "normal" would be BIZARRE because Vince Russo has created a not-so BIZARRE orgy of BIZARRE occurances in TNA that have fans BIZARREly chanting for him to be fired. The only truly BIZARRE occurance will take place when someone in TNA shows half a braincell and fires Russo for a BIZARRE second time.

To sum up, everything being BIZARRE is stupid.

Davey Boy Smith wasn't stupid, but he was bizarre.

Told ya.

Ah right, sorry, I thought it was the conjunctivitis playing up. :$

No worries. Besides, with my brain cells...I'll have forgotten about this by tomorrow.

Plus...

Freddie Joe Floyd beat Justin "Hawk" Bradshaw.
