Why don't wrestlers get water breaks in Iron Man/ 2 out of 3 falls matches?
Don't referees have brain damage from all the times they get knocked out?
Speaking of referees, why don't they check under the ring before a match starts?
Why didn't any wrestler think of setting up tripwire in the aisle before Warrior came out?

How can a referee not hear a blatant chair shot three feet behind him?
Why stand up when you hear Shawn Michaels stomping his foot in the corner?
How did Boss Man get papers to prove Big Show was illegitimate? I was unaware such things were regularly documented. And for him to do a DNA test, Big Show would have to give up some DNA and his father. The plot holes here are horrible. Then again it is Russo, disregard this question.
What exactly hurts about a Stun Gun/move where you drop your opponent on the top rope when your opponent has his arms out to break the force?
If Austin really could whoop Mike Tyson's ass then how come Austin never knocked anyone out with just punches? Other than Mitchell Cole that is.
If Undertaker is really dead then why get more tattoos? Do the dead get joy from that? Also how does he bleed, he should've been embalmed?
What is so magical about the third arm drop that gives a wrestler new life?
How does a splash from someone the size of RVD or Eddie knock someone out cold?
Age old question: Why is it that someone who can take a ton of chair shots is gonna get knocked out by a leg drop fom Hulk Hogan?
Where exactly are these recordbooks the announcers talk about wins and losses going into? Is Titan Towers full of them? Also why doesn't it say how the win took place? Seems very indescriptive and misleading.
Last one: If you have 'done your homework' on an opponent, and they give you their signature setup move, why get back up for the finisher unprepared?

How did Kane get away with setting Jim Ross on fire live on national tv without being arrested for attempted murder? My guess is he hid in a coffin or something like that.

Why does the referee have to see the tag made by a face team but accept the sound of a hand slap behind his back if it's the heels?

Lots of questions. Here's a few answers.
Undertaker was never supposed to actually be dead.
The Slingshot works legit. Try it sometime. You have to keeo your knees bent though. The guy it's being done to will forcebly stand and be thrown forward. Pro wrestlers usually exagerate this a bit and jump with the momentum.
I assume big promotions like the WWE Actually keep win-loss records. Even if they don't, some people do. Chris Jericho, for example, has the results of every match he's ever been in wrote down. I think thee's a copy on his web site.
I don't know about Austin and Tyson, but a good wrestler can always take a good boxer, if he can get ahold of him or take him down. Boxers have no idea how to fight on the ground. Additionally, if all you can do is punch, you're a poor fighter.
Manager's liscenses can be applied for at your state's Athletic Commission, if applicable. They also give out wrestling liscenses.
Suplexes are about leverage. The wrestler on the receiving end takes a bigger impact because there is more leverage acting upon him. This goes for superplexes as well. The Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum assures the guy taking the move gets hurt more.
Wrestlers climb ladders slowly because they are tired, the ladder is on an unstable surface(rings are padded and often set on top of springs), and because there's more drama that way.

Why in a 4 on 2 cage match when the team with 2 has one guy tied in the ropes wouldn't you just have three guys hold the other guy why the fourth guy walks out the door? Did you miss the part where Edge pinned Flair then pulled him up at two? That match wasn't made because Edge wanted to win. It was made because he wanted to beat the crap out of Ric Flair unmercifully. So why would he go to escape as soon as the opportunity was availabe? He was happy beating down Flair until Undertaker ruined his good times.

How is it normal matches have time keepers that supposedly use a stop watch to keep the time of a match, but beat the clock matches have a digital timer on the Titantron?
I mean why not just put a digiclock on the Titantron for the regular 15 minutes time limit matches and so on?

-Why does an official take it upon himself to stop his ring out count, demand that both wrestlers return to the ring, then start his count again at 1?
-By the same token, if a hold isn't broken by a 5 count, it's supposed to be a DQ yet the ref always stops at 4 then tries to break the hold.
-Why was Shamrock's win over The Rock at WM14 overturned because he refused to release the ankle lock yet there are countless times where a heel beats down his fallen opponent with no such reversals?
-I take it the Undertaker has been weened off of the power of the urn?

I'll give it a try. -In a Last Man Standing match, why not knock some one down, and then tie their legs together so they can't get up to their feet? Wrestlemania 10. Macho Man vs... Someone. That happened. It sucked.

That happened. It sucked. I think it was bam bam, and it was not a last man standing, it was a falls count anywhere where if you got pinned, you had to get back to the ring in 10 seconds

When a wrestler comes out to ring side to "scout" the wrestler he will face at a PPV, When he has wrestled the guy a 100 times. Example.
Cena's excuse to sit at ring side during the HHH-Orton match was to scout both of them. Really, You wrestled them many times before, Whats to scout? ( We all know it leads to a run in, Just going by kayfabe)

The bell rings and both sprint to climb over the cage to see who gets out first. No wrestling ever invovled.

If faced with a match in which you have no hope to win, why show up? If there's no risk of getting fired (kayfabe or otherwise), why put yourself through the pain and torture? Just stand on the ring ramp and let the ref count 10.
If Miz is such a chick magnet, how come there's never any girls around him on TV?
John Cena says "You Can't See Me", then who's kicking the other guy's ass?
Anybody ever been to Cobb County, Georgia? I'm wondering if there really is a big sign, "Respect the law and order".

Why hasn't a match ever once ended during a commercial break?

Not trying to seem like a knowitall or a smartass, but I feel like if I was in a match for something that according to the commentators "is my whole life", then I'm gonna be able to take getting the wind knocked out of me. Thats just IMHO, I could be wrong. Never taken a backstabber or Five Star Frog Splash.
