My teacher in 8th grade mentioned that Integrity was a good quality. Someone asked about Intensity and Intelligence, hoping to get one over on him. "This is not the Kurt Angle Class of Values. Behave." lol thats awesome

My 6th grade math book had a problem comparing the attendance of Wrestlemania 6 to Wrestlemania 3. My sister's math book had a word problem about a Macho Man/DDP match for some reason

In my calculus class in my Junior Year, my teacher was talking about body builders and mentioned one guy was the size of Batista. We then had a lengthy discussion about Smackdown. This was around the time that Edge beat the Undertaker for the Heavyweight Title and they posted it on wwe.com before it actually aired. So I told him about it before he saw it. At the end of the year he allowed my exemption of the calculus final based soley on the fact that I watched wrestling.

I was flipping through the toronto sun and there was an article on R-Truth's song "What's up". There was no reason for it, they were just talking about R-Truth Especially weird, since isn't R-Truth one of those wrestlers who are prohibited from visiting Canada?

At my high school graduation, myself and a surprising number of people that I didn't know did the Jimmy Snuka "Love ya bruddah" hand signal. I know that's strictly not wrestling related, because it's actual sign language, but that's what I always associate it with, so....

once in primary (elementary) school in March 2001, in assembly the teacher was talking about religious celibrations and asked which ones were coming up in the next few weeks. One of the older kids put up his hand and said "Wrestlemania!" which sparked laughter and the teacher responded with "I suppose it would be if you worshiped the god WWF"

My world and U.S. history teacher spent nearly a whole class discussing the undertaker vs mankind hell in a cell match..pretty nice class (this was after our final).
Also, when he was talking about wars like lets say WW2 anytime he'd mention Hitler he usually referred to him as a jabroni among other wrestling insults.

Oh, yeah, in high school, one of my teachers was a Mr. Kennedy. After Ken Kennedy popped up on tv, I heard a shocking amount of MISTAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH KENNEDY!
KENNEDY! on occasion.

From Poker Night at the Inventory "Strong and Bad. You wrestle? With mask?" "Noooo. I'm a wrestle-MAN not a wrestle-ER. I'm much better." "So... not like Iron Sheik?" "No not like the Iron Steak. He's a wrestler. Pa-phooey"
Or words to that effect.
From Shaman King,
Also, I've been to a couple of metal/rock bars that have played the D-Generation X theme. One even played HBKs theme just before it.

Hg = Mercury. I think you can work it out from there. It works with Nitrogen/Nitro, but was Melina ever Manganese? I think that the person who designed it kind of used that as part of the joke. The first two are obvious, but the third one is ridiculously obscure to the point where you'd have to really remember the team to be able to get the full reference. That and the fact that there's no chemical symbol for her name, so something starting with an "M" is as close as you can get.

At football in PE a few months ago one guy missed the goal and screamed, the guy next to him turned and said "Calm down Batista"

My old English professor made multiple references to WWE related programing, each of which I thought were incredible. He once said in reference to Beowulf "So Beowulf, learning of Grendel in the Hall came out to Motorhead like Triple H and crippled his ass" To which I laughed hysterically. Of course, I was the only with the college just switching to co-ed and the high female populous at the time.

I don't know if this counts, but I walked into my Humanities class, and the teacher asked, "How many WWE shirts do you have?" Followed up with. "Do you really like the Nexus?"

I had an English teacher in HS that always did the DX crotch chop, though he called the "crossover double-pump fade away."
My current art teacher is also a big WWE fan. On our first day he gave us about an hour and a half draw whatever we wanted. He drew a epic, full body stand off between The Undertaker and Batman. Godzilla was in the background for some reason.
I hate art, but God do I love that class.

On a related but somewhat inverse note, every time I go through the Canada-US border crossing, I have to fight hard to go up to the guy at the Nexus booth and say something witty. If I ever do get my Nexus pass, my first border crossing will be in black and yellow {N} gear.

At one pep rally someone ran through with a 2X4 screaming HOOOOOOOOOO.
Stephen Colbert's references to pro wrestling always throw me. I believe he called out El Hijo del Santo.
