Has anyone actually learnt anything useful from wrestling? Jokes to a minimum, please I know a lot more states and which cities are in which states from simply hearing wrestler's hometowns and such than I ever would have otherwise. Now you go.

It taught me at a very early age not to trust, and that anything (everything?) can be a work.

I've learned that no matter what you to do your boss, he won't fire you. Just put you in matches with larger opponents.
But seriously, I've learned most arena names and such.

This is the exact thing that came to mind when I read the thread title. I was probably the only kid in 1st grade that knew that there was a Kansas City in Missouri (Thanks Bob Orton).
