Cool WWE stuff that wouldn't be cool anywhere else

[Johnny Flamingo]

DX were fan favorites, in real life they would be considered huge assholes.

Well I had a tables match in real life for a Bacon Sandwich that was pretty cool.

For the record, I still consider them huge assholes.

I used to love them back in the day, have not aged well at all.

I don't think they are cool anyway, but imagine a mid card championship in a real sport: You guys are the best team out of the teams that aren't the top teams, so here's a trophy.

Um, that's how a lot of sports work, Soccer in England is I think 7 tiers, you win one, got a trophy and move up. There's a secondary version of the main European championship for teams who didn't get into the Champion's League.

Inferno matches. Inferno meetings would be dangerous and ruin the furniture.

Guys commit horrible acts like smashing people's hands with car doors, running people over with vehicles, ganging up on guys in parking lots and leaving them in a heap, forcing guys to eat their own dogs, stealing caskets from funerals, etc. and instead of having criminal charges filed against them, they just get challenged to a match at the next PPV.

I have no evidence to support my claim, but after besting someone in a competition, I'm pretty sure that you are not allowed to handcuff them to a fixed object and repeatedly zap them with a cattle prod without facing serious criminal repercussions.

I could be wrong though.

Oh there's consequences...

Almost 30 tiers, I think, if you factor in the entire league system. And they also used to have the Intertoto championship, which was for the teams that didn't even get into the secondary tournament. Not sure what was more prestigious between that and the TV title.

The Intertoto Cup was the idea of Malmö FF chairman Eric Persson and the later FIFA vice-president and founder of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, Ernst B. Thommen, and the Austrian coach Karl Rappan, who coached the Swiss national team at the 1938 FIFA World Cup and at the 1954 World Cup. The "Cup for the Cupless" was also heavily promoted by the Swiss newspaper Sport. It derived its name from Toto, the German term for football pool.

Thommen, who had set up football betting pools in Switzerland in 1932, had a major interest in having purposeful matches played in the summer break. UEFA were initially disinclined to support the tournament, finding its betting background distasteful; nevertheless they permitted the new tournament but refrained from getting officially involved. Clubs which qualified for one of the official continental competitions, such as the European Champions Cups and Cup Winners Cup, were not allowed to participate.

Yup, that's right, they thought it was too salacious because it started off for gambling purposes. THAT'S where UEFA drew the line (until 1995).

Also, trombones. Unicorn horns are always cool, of course.

Having a discussion using microphones so everyone around you can hear you.
Having catchphrases you say every single time you talk.
Also, contract signings at work being expected to end in some kind of scuffle.

Giving birth to a hand....in the WWE it's comedy and the child goes on to live a healthy and prosperous life.

Elsewhere in the real world, the baby is stillborn, gets a burial, and the mom goes thru numerous tests and is traumatized for life.
