So I'm watching 'The Chase' on UK tv and one of the contestants is an ex wrestler setting up his own fed, and also a trainer
When asked one question (I remember not - but was about an actress) He answered "Katie Vick" and also got to say "Three I's" and "Money In The Bank"
So what other times has anyone heard a wrestling comment, term or fact in an unexpected place?
Please share!

On Top Gear a few years ago the hosts got lost in a remote Romanian village and the local children started writing on their dusty cars.  |

One time on a history test one of the possible answers was Shawn Michaels.
I was at Six Flags one time and walking by one of the stalls they had the "Do you smell what the Rock is cookin?" intro playing.

On a similar note, they once asked about Royal Rumble winners on Pointless. I said 'Berto & Vince, turned out they were pointless answers! Unfortunately, the contestants chose Hogan and Hart, which weren't Pointless.

I've heard a few wrestling themes randomly used at sporting events.
Newcastle United played Kurt Angle's music before one of their games, Ultimate Warrior's theme has also been used at some Dallas Cowboys games this season.

The DJ at a Halloween party I went to this year played Kane's old and Sycho Sid's themes.

If you watch the Daily Show, Stewart quite often will drop wrestling nuggets into his schtick

Unfortunately, the contestants chose Hogan and Hart, which weren't Pointless. They also had a missing letters round on Pointless with 5 WWE stars who I think were Cena, Taker, Hogan, Savage &...Austin I think? |

Watched an Achievement Hunter video and Ray said that Gavin's character in GTA did a Swanton Bomb.

My sixth-grade science textbook had a picture of Andre the Giant in a chapter about the pituitary gland.
I took Media Law in college and the textbook had a short section about the war between WWE and WCW. In particular, Mark Madden using WCW's hotline to report on WWE's financial issues. When he was subpoenaed about his sources, he claimed he was a journalist entitled to First Amendment protection. The first court agreed with him, but WWE won the case on appeal. The appeals court ruled that Madden was not a journalist reporting news, but an entertainer discussing hype.

I went to a wedding once where they played the Elizabeth/Randy Savage song for tge bride and groom's dance. It must have been on a WWE cd, because immediately after the Ted DiBiase theme started playing. Laughed so hard I had champagne coming out of my nose.

"When you Came into my life Then I realized You were the only one" We need a lot more weddings in wrestling for no reason other than to dust this gem off. |

"The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists" had a sequence where Darwin and s fake Holy Ghost wrestle, complete with an unexpected reference to Mick Foley in the footnotes.
