Flaws in pro wrestling logic

A referee will refuse to accept that a face tag team made a tag because he didn't see it due to a heel wrestler jumping into the ring to distract him, despite the fact that the face tag team were only about an inch from making the tag when the referee's attention was occupied.

Yeah, but when a heel team makes a "clapping" sound behind the ref's back, the ref automatically believes them even though he didn't see it.

The best place to hide a foreign object is in your tights. Which cling tightly to your body and don't leave much to the imagination. Not your boots, not your knee pads...but your tights.

When using said foreign object, maximum damage can be inflicted by placing it squarely in the plam of your hand and wrapping your fingers around it, ensuring that the object doesn't actually come in contact with the opponent's skull, only your knuckles. Once you've finished using the object, you should either put it back in your TIGHTS where it's impossible for the ref to spot, or throw it on the floor outside the ring, where it will magically cease to exist. No one at ring side will go pick up the object and bring it to the referee's attention because...well, it has magically ceased to exist.

Hulk Hogan cannot drop the big leg until he has gotten permission from every last person in the audience. As Hulk's hearing has gotten worse over the years, it can take up to 3 minutes for Hulk to hear everyone and drop the leg.

Luckily, over the years, his big boot to the face has gotten more deadly. After connecting with it, the opponent will lie unconcious for those 3 minutes until finally receiving the leg drop of doom and going down in defeat to the immortal orange goblin.

Firman's Carry, Leg Drop, and a One foot belly flop are moves that no one can EVER Kick out of, meanwhile suplexes off top rope get a short 2 count.

Cena, Hogan and...Warrior? Or Pedigree? Isn't a pedigree onto your head, theoretically?

Want to get away with criminal attacks that damn near( and in some cases DOES) kill a man? Become a wrestler.

If I ran up to a person on the street and whacked them in the head with a steel chair I'm looking at jail time, but not if it's in a wrestling arena.

I'm going to start luring people I don't like to the local wrestling arena so I can start doling out sweet, sweet justice.

The other night when Cena attacked Regal, JR said something like "If that happened outside of this arena Cena would go to jail"

I thought that was really stupid.

This is so untrue. Even Hogan's hips and knees, he's lucky if his big boot lands somewhere above his opponents shins.

I love Hulk, but, it ain't 1986 no more.

Yes but as his flexibility has deteriorated over the years, Hulk has spent time in Japan mastering the deadly art of pressure points. He knows exactly where in the shin to boot you to make your face hurt.

thanks a lot, now I have to clean up my keyboard

Finishing moves.

If someone delivers a kick to the chin, it's barely even referenced and the match goes on as normal. However, if Shawn Michaels delivers one, you're out cold until next Tuesday.

If a wrestler gives a fireman's carry, you MIGHT hear JR say something along the lines of ".......nice fireman's carry takeover......". But Cena? "FU! FU!! FU!!! HE GOT THE FU!!!! 1-2-3!!!"

Finlay's Shileighleigh (sp?) to the back of the knee is a knock out?

its wrestling and there is no logic

Royal Rumble matches.

Why doesn't anyone just slide under the bottom rope, walk to the back and have a hotdog until there's one person left?

oh man! I'd SOOOO totally mark out if ANYONE did that!

BEST IDEA EVER!

BOOK IT WWE!

(edit) PS! seems like something heel Jericho would do!

edge did that at that ecw vs wwe battle royal they had before ONS2, but a load of guys who had been eliminated grabbed him and threw him back in.

[uncleslam]

If you do a move off of the top rope, it can be devestating, but not neccessarily a finisher.

However, if you're in the Bill Watt's-run WCW of the early 90's and top rope moves are banned, and you're able to sneak a top-rope move behind the ref's back, it's extremely deadly and a sure-fire finisher. Even something as simple as a chop to the head. Instant death.

Also, if you're in an organization where being thrown over the top rope is an instand disqualification, then being thrown over the top rope is instant death.

In a no DQ match a wrestler still has to break a submission move when their opponent reaches the ropes?

ECW there was no DQs but still Tajiri had to break the tarantula?

Despite what many people believe, some things in wrestling are still sacred. Rope breaks and 3 counts. Even ECW respected those.

[britishbulldog]

The waking condominium didn't believe in the 3 count he wanted 5 damn it.

If flaws in wrestlers' thinking count, how about battles royal in which a wrestler lifts up another wrestler but doesn't bother to throw him over the top rope? Seriously, if you're in the Royal Rumble and fighting for a title shot, why military press someone over your head and then just drop them back on the ring floor?

And in the 1994 Royal Rumble, Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette brought in Tenryu and Kabuki to make sure that Lex Luger didn't win. So why did they (a) attack his locker with a broom, when hitting Lex himself would have been more effective and (b) spend so much of the time fighting people who weren't Lex Luger?

When the dastardly heel is beating down the face after the match and the timekeeper keeps ringing the bell. Has the heel ever once gone "You know, he's right. I really should knock this off?"

That sounds like something only Waylon Mercy would do.

[Vice honcho room temperature]

The fact refs allow items to rest in the corner instead of with the time keeper. Finlay I'm looking at you
