Slipping WWE References Into Conversations With Non-Fans

[government mule]

I use the term 'jobber' to describe mediocre staff to my bosses.

[Adam Black]

Got an entire theater to do a yes chant during the curtain call.

[Super Nintenjoe KBD]

When a guy I worked with was leaving the job, on his last day I shook his hand at the end of the day as we were going to our cars and said "I wish you well in your future endeavors". I had planned saying it ever since I heard he would be leaving just to "pop myself"!

[TGM]

I use the term "no sell" in everyday conversation because it can apply to so many things

Same here. I also sometimes refer to "doing it for da people!"

[Mozenrath]

"Damn it, who ate all the oreos?"

"IT WAS ME, AUSTIN! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG!"

[They Killed the Giggler]

I am interviewing for a better job within my company and I am going to tell the hiring manager that hiring me would be what's best for business.

When I'm watching a film or TV show (24 used to be great at this) and a 'good' character suddenly turns evil I'll call it a heel turn.Or vice versa.

[CM Parish]

I use turn and no sell.

I also use "just when you think you know the answer I change the question!" a lot.

Eg. German no selling Brazil being the best team in the world.

For me its more when my jokes fall flat and I declare myself to be getting no-sold.

This dude on my Tennis team is a huge Dolph Ziggler mark, and he talks about him to the point that the entire team knows who Dolph Ziggler is and nobody watches wrestling except for me and said kid.

I did this to my friends and family in regards to CM Punk.

[Captain & Diet]

I'll often cut an angry promo when I'm lecturing my children. It usually starts with "You better get the bass out of your eyeballs, boy."

If something stupid happens I usually use Miz's "Really?" catchphrase.

And sometimes if another wrestling fan is within earshot I get "Riley?" or "Randy" - then we do the whole routine

[Phil Parent]

I'm a part of the hockey's future community (HF Habs forum) many wrestling expressions and references are used regularly. Most people that post there are fellow Montrealers, and they get it, no need to explain.

Face/Heel/Marking out/Selling/Various Wrestlers used to make a point ABOUT HOCKEY.

Hell, one of the top topics in the community is titled "The Habs Lounge Thread II (Ric Flair-Level Intoxication Appreciation)"

Started by a mod, too. So yeah.

It's just so versatile

Whenever I've had to split a hotel/motel with someone I tell them to watch out for Snuka if they end up going back to it before me.

No one's raised an eyebrow yet.

Though people have clocked the pets/garage jokes I take out of the bad taste bag when we discuss moving homes or vets bills so my repertoire for darkness in inane conversation is diminishing day by day.

And I've not worked out how to make 'stabby Colon' a thing for regular people, not like us freaks, mainly as they assume I've said cologne wrong and they just nod, probably thinking they've missed a new Caroline Herrera perfume advertisement.

EDIT: when you make the above post, you know your lack of sleep has caught up with you. It's like glaring into an ugly mirror of truth and consequences (New Mexico).

That's actually pretty awesome. One of the first things I liked about Ziggler was his crazy 'YEAHHHHHHHH!" when he was hitting a big move, does that kid use that for his tennis player grunt?

[Hit Girl]

Heel, face, over, heat, jobber, selling, buried etc...

Sometimes. He also does the Ziggler dance whenever he walks into a room at a pasta party or whatever, does the hair flick after every point he wins, cuts promos during practice, and starts "Lets-go-Zig-gler" chants on the bus, which has somehow made Dolph Ziggler a revered figure to a group of people who don't know who he is.

Except, after practice we were at this kids house, we turned on Smackdown, and after a few minutes Ziggler came out and the whole team marked the f*** out. Twas awesome.
