My History teacher cut a Rock promo on us. Here's this 60-something year old women telling us jabroni's she'll beat our candy ass if we don't do our homework.
God bless her.

My high school gym teacher looked like Rick Steiner so when I was his aide my senior year we had some Steiner Bros. moments.

My algebra teacher in high school was a huge RVD mark and would do the thumbs all the time.

We had one day in gym class where we we're allowed to wrestle since they left the mats out that day and didn't have time to put them away right then, so to kill time so we wouldn't be worn out our coach let us cut promos on whoever he chose as our opponents. He was a big WWF/E fan himself.
My Child Psych. teacher used to compare one of the theories in the book to Ric Flair's "to be the man..." line. He'd even put that as a hint off to the side on the test.
The worst one I can always remember is when we were sitting at lunch in 5th grade (I know it was 5th since they opened a new school building and it was our only year there). One kid at our table had a habit of slamming his hands on the table. He talked fine and all that stuff, there was really nothing wrong with him, and he never slammed it so hard it distracted anyone, he just always did it. One day our art teacher noticed it, walked over, and yelled at him for doing that, then told him to see her after school and she was going to call his parents about what he was doing. He then asked why and she said "I'm not stupid! I KNOW you were doing that...chop...thing!!!" We all sat there wondering what she was talking about and then I had to speak up and say it was the DX thing, and he had no idea what I was talking about. He got out of it though, we all went to the principle as a group and explained what happened, and he let him off. Although, me and the art teacher then crossed paths in the hall later on and she just said "You kids are so lucky."

One thing that my neighbor mentioned while playing Tekken 4, was that it was not right that King stole the Tombstone piledriver from the WWF. He said that not only does it look basically just like the WWF move, but that it was actually called the Tombstone piledriver as well.

I thought it was cool that King from Tekken had so many wwe finishing moves.

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. Off topic, but would that be Wheelock?

How about a school textbook? I have three examples:
1. My sixth-grade science book had a picture of Andre the Giant in a chapter about the pituitary gland.
2. The book for 12th-grade psychology had a photo of Pam Anderson and Diesel.
3. I took Media Law in college and that book had a section about Mark Madden. Apparently he was using WCW's hotline to report on WWE's financial problems. When he was subpoenaed to testify about his sources, he claimed he was a journalist entitled to First Amendment protection. The first court agreed with him but the decision was overturned on appeal. The second court ruled that Madden was not a journalist, but an entertainer.
In junior-high art class, my friend and I made a wrestling-themed mobile. It had a ring at the top and wrestlers' names dangling from it.

I was going to post this sooner but forgot.
The STO button on certain calculators. Don't know what it does.
Scratch that it means store, kind of a let down.

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. You wouldn't be talking about a certain place in Liverpool, would you?

I never saw it but I heard there was a scene on Heroes where one of the main characters watched Rey Mysterio do a 619 on TV and subsequently used it later in the show.

"And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids and your DX chop!"

Bobby Moynihan played Jake The Snake Roberts in a "What Up With That?" sketch on Saturday Night Live. Maybe a year or two ago.

You wouldn't be talking about a certain place in Liverpool, would you? Over here, halloween= wrestling. Undertaker music, gongs, smoke, people doing the urn thing. Also loads dressed as Rey Mysterio.

I did the Razor Roman/Scott Hall taunt I Nature Boy strutted between between my Principal and the lady handing out the diplomas before dancing with her. I warned her before I did it was less like attempted sexual assault.
