- You suspect your best friend is just setting you up for a heel turn.
I'm sure even non-wrestling fans feel the same way, just not using those terms.
I am guilty of the following:
- You begin to shake someone's hand in public but then hesistate to look for the crowd's response. (It's my gimmick though)
- You do the "Flair Strut" into a meeting at work...
- Your boss calls you in for a meeting on cutbacks and you insist on talking about YOUR workrate...
- You go to shake someone's hand at work and pull back at the last second to smooth down your hair and say "Woooooooo!"....woo wooo!
- Someone else falls against a table/chair...and you start screaming "You're extreme! You're extreme!"
- During someone's retirement ceremony, you are asked to speak...you get up and talk about the person's average size, average speed, average carpentry skills... and then talk about how he parlayed it into a great career....you then talk about how he can't even open a beer anymore with his left hand...and then proceed to tell a story about a fat broad slapping him on.
- You scream at the top of your lungs and you don't know why
- Your job is your gimmick
- Someone you work with leaves for another job, with more money, you accuse them of being disloyal to the fed that made them a star.
- A promotion at work is seen as getting a push.
- Every secret is "kayfabe".
- You flex in front of every mirror.
- You and your friends develop a secret hand signal.
- You dream about splashing your boss from the top of your cubicle walls.

- You start your own e-fed... with you as the only participant, and then try to out-book McMahon and Bischoff.
- You clothsline people in the supermarket for no real reason.
- You get into a public place and, for some sort of things you hear some people booing at something and you think they're booing at you and you start yelling at the people to shut up.
- You elbow smash your dog & turn him/her over for the three count
- You climb chain-link fences and do Superfly Splashes off them-- in real life--
- You think a fashion statement is a black trench coat
- You watch Star Search stand up comedy acts, and say the first guy had a good workrate, but the second guys was as good with high spots galore. Then you say this battle was a 4 star match, but Ed McMahon's a terrible announcer and the crowd had minimal heat.
- You win a fight and afterward you start posing
- You start hi-fiving people you don't know
- You play "name that wrestler" like you play "name that tune" in as few notes from their theme music as possible. (Me and my cousin's roadtrip game)

- You do heel turns on your best friends for no reason
- You carry around a portable tape player for entrance music.
- You sit at home all day refusing to do a job.
- You don't understand why there are wars when a steel-cage grudge match could settle things.

- When you're in trouble your friends come out and beat the Hell out of the other guy
- Can you remember the last time you didn't watch wrestling on Monday night?

- You create different personas and believe they are different people.
- You giggle when someone says they've got a 'job' to do.
- After an argument with a friend, you shake hands, hug each other and then after you raise both yours and your friend's arms in the air, as he looks to the side, you clothesline him.
