After watching Foley/Edge WM22 and Foley/Orton Backlash '04 and Foley/Taker HIAC I've made a new wrestling rule.

Wrestling Rule #431: If you pour out the thumbtacks, you're the one going into the thumbtacks.

Any other wrestling rules we an add to the seemingly endless list?

[jetskid48]

I used this earlier today, but whoever gets the last laugh on the last tv before a ppv almost always winds up losing at the actual ppv match.

When faces ruled the world, mid-card world title matches (Think Hogan at Survivor Series 91 and King of the Ring 93, etc) always meant a heel was about to win the belt.

I'm sure there's a milliion more. I also predict this winds up in the retro section in the next 24 hours. I also predict I'll be thinking about this for at least the next 3 days non-stop.

[Tommy]

Rule #267 - When Kane's ring pyro is set off before a singles match, he's losing.

Rule #26 - Although swervy of late, If Ric Flair goes to the top, he's not coming down on his own.

Rule #142 - Thou shalt not tap to the Walls of Jericho

Yes. Yes, it does.

[Fire-Babe]

Wrestling rule #714: If you are the one to set up the table, you are 90% likely to be the one going through it.

[Byrntrigan]

Wrestling Rule #666: If you are in a tag team, and you've had troubles with your partner lately, DO NOT go on an interview segment, as you will be hurt, and hurt badly, and not be in your tag team any longer.

Rule 666 corralary .1: If on said interview segment, you see props of a weaponous nature, ie - coconuts, plate glass window, casket - for the love of Jeff - leave immediately.

I just want to say that I could be such an annoying prick in this thread ("Just in this thread?") if I just made half the comments that have crossed my mind reading these.

Suffice it to say I do not in any way find these rules to be accurate or correct. But please carry on with your fun. ("Lucky hates fun.") I don't mean to take that away from anyone who may not actually be compelled to wonder if anything close to 90% of the tables broken were in fact set up by the man to go through them. ("Something, something, stat boy.")

Technically Team 3D screws over the tables Rule. Perhaps the thread name should change to "Wrestling Cliches" as then it doesn't have to be a "rule" per se.

Or maybey Lucky is just being "grumpy"

[Lucky]

Actually if Lucky was being grumpy he'd just be arguing the places where most tag team partners turned on each other and listing people with successful table usage.

I'm just letting you all in on how screwed up I am that I REALLY want to do that. I honest and truly want to take a record of Abyss' use of thumbtacks just to see if he took them any more than 50% of the time. Not because I give a shit about it. But because someone made a declarative statement that I believe an examination of will prove suspect.

I'm screwed up.

[glow=pink,5,300]EXALT [/glow]for Lucky for stating he's like the rest of us. You're declarative is just special around stats.

Mine is authority figures and "societal mores"...

[Jack Quinn]

I honestly believe we could drive Lucky legally insane if we made declarative statements on things that were impossible to quantify, just so he would spend the rest of his life trying to prove we were wrong

I meant wrestling that people actually watch.

TEMP BAN!






Too soon?

[Pun]

Moosey, I think it's time to change Lucky's theme to the one we were talking about a couple weeks ago. What say you?

[Jack Quinn]

well, he already hates me, so sure

[Lucky]

I swear to God I'll temp ban myself if its what I think it is (and thus fully a temp ban worthy offense by my own standards).

You guys are derailing this thread.

[Pun]

It's not lolcatz. I wouldn't allow that.

And to get this thread back on track:

How could anyone forget Wrestling Rule #1 - If it didn't happen on TV, it didn't happen.

[Jack Quinn]

I would be shocked if its what you think it is

[Fire-Babe]

In all honesty, I pulled 90% out of the air. I tried to remember in recent history any show I saw that had someone pull out a table and then not be the first one through it, and couldn't. So I changed it from 'every time' to '90%' because I figured there were instances when this rule didn't apply, since there always are.

Having said that, if I had to bet money on who was going through a table, I'd still put it on the person/team who pulled the table out (with the probable exception of the Dudleys).

So NYAH!

[jetskid48]

Not to mention your rule was killed in less than 24 hours by Finlay pulling out the table AND putting JBL through it.

Score one for Lucky's OCD.

[Fire-Babe]

Yeah I know!!!! Pissed me right the hell off, too. Stilll, that could be in the 10% category.

#2 - If it didn't happen within the last couple months/year, it also didn't happen.

#643 If it involved Chris Benoit, it also didin't happen

[Outback Frito Pendejo]

Public Enemy in WCW was pretty close to, if not at, 100% for going through the table they used to carry out to the ring.

#99 A face turn causes the other faces to forgive and forget everything a heel ever did to them.

[Attitude Adjuster]

#17. If there is a trophy involved, it will be destroyed and/or used to do bodily harm to a face.

The same rule applies to celebratory cakes and heels.

[Stu]

Rule #88: If you are in a face tag team, and you hit your partner by accident for the first time EVER, you are about to go through a messy breakup.
Rule #89: If you are in a heel tag team, and you hit your partner half a dozen times a month by accident, you will not break up over this. You will most likely break up later over a difference of opinion, rather than a petty matter that faces split up over.
Rule#175: You cannot go on another wrestler's personal interview segment without either being insulted, being attacked, or being challenged, or all of the above.
