So I’ve realized that there are stupid things that most of us have done as wrestling fans at one time or another. So what are your nerdy wrestling things you’ve done?
These are mine:
Spit water like Triple H Flex like Hulk Hogan Shawn Michaels pose Sit up like Taker Flip my hair back like Taker (when I had long hair) Drop an elbow on my bed or couch for no reason Say “WHAT” over and over to annoy people ...and I’m sure a lot more that I can’t remember

I used to be guilty of a ton of this stuff as a young'un
Triple H Water Spit Dropping elbows into swimming pools Do that jump-up thing to get from the ground to my feet Scream like Daffney "Dance" like Sable Cosplay to school/class DX Crotch Chop (I once broke my ankle mimicking X-Pac BTW) 'Taker eye roll
And Finally
The Shane O Shuffle. CONSTANTLY.
I'm so glad I stopped doing all of these. Most of them I physically can't even do anymore, but I look back at my younger self and just cringe at the stuff I put my friends through.

I know one thing a lot if them DON'T do- practice proper hygiene. Have you ever been to a wrestling convention or autograph signing? You get a bunch of these mouth breathers in a room & it'll smell like armpit & hot bologna real quick.

Triple H water spit practically every time I shower DX crotch chop Hogan poses Macho Man voice Saying "GIVE ME A HELL YEAH" and "OH HELL YEEEEEE-AAAAAA-HHH" for no reason Shane O-Shuffle Vince walk When my dog was still with us, I used to say "YOOOOOUUUUUUU'RRRRRREEEE FIIIIIIIRRRRRRREEEEEEEDDDDD!" to her a couple of times a day. (She just used to look at me and sigh, bless her)
There's probably more, but that's all I can think of right now.

Cut people off in mid-sentence and yell "IT DOESNT MATTER..."
Wear luchador masks

Wearing replica titles to live event shows. At every WWE signing around here there was always this fat lass with a World Heavyweight Championship. These people always have this smug look on their face. Like parading a belt past a line of people makes them better than you.

Wait at hotels and airports at ungodly hours of the night to try and get pictures and autographs.
It's borderline stalkerish.

Those poor wrestlers having to shake all of their dirty a$$ hands.

When people do things generally opposite their personality I refer to it as a heel/face turn (i.e. Kevin Durant joining the Golden State Warriors)

Before I go off on people sometimes I’ll say “I’m gonna shoot on this real quick” 😂

You get a bunch of these mouth breathers in a room & it'll smell like armpit & hot bologna real quick. Took exactly two posts. Nicely done. This is a staple of extreme fandom for a lot of things pop-culture related, but wrestling fans are certainly guilty. For me personally, it's wrestling lingo. "Pop," "heel/face," "work/shoot," "bury/push," "kayfabe," and a few others I'm probably forgetting.
