Ridiculous ways wrestling has worked itself into your everyday life

I used to have a nice long corridor to my office that offered plenty of privacy, where I perfected my Ric Flair strut or my Vince McMahon huge balls walk.

I thought the whole thread was going to go without one of these. I love a good McMahon flounce. A colleague and I used to have the odd walk-off.

Had my first day casual teaching last Friday, and I got to live out my lifelong dream of incorporating wrestling catchphrases into classroom instruction. I was about to take them out to sport, and casually asked, "Are you ready?" Very little reaction. I couldn't help it then. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, I said are...you...ready?" Big pop, never seen kids get more hyped for a game of football.

 

Luckily, the kids thought I was awesome, and in addition to telling me I was the best teacher they'd had, said I'd also make a great announcer/commentator. Don't think I could have lived it down if they thought I was a total dickhead.

Dude, I used to be a DT teacher in secondary school and after I'd told a year 11 class the difference between thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics one kid quite innocently said "Really?" and without thinking I replied "Oh It's true, It's damn true" I got ripped for liking wrestling. "Arr Sir but that's fake/gay!!"

 

Maybe subconsciously, this might be the reason I now teach primary school. haha I do sneak in wrestling catchphrases too. Just recently, I've had multiple choice questions on the board and asked a kid to come up and pick the correct answer. I asked the class "is he/she right?" and I have them point up and say "YES" or cross their arms in and out and say "NO"

Was the Miz's "Really?" tic common before he started using it? I've found myself doing that quite often.

I work in a school in Vietnam and the kids occasionally do the yes yes yes or no no no which gets the opposite back from me. I also had to teach sports vocab to some teens the other day and did a "guess what sport they play" warm up exercise. Had to finish with a fantastic posed picture of Warrior. they had no idea who he is though

 

Got great pleasure a few months ago at a school I work in which was having a cultural fair and they had on the USA stall a cena and punk cap. Got the kid who brought them shit scared when I questioned him on what they were about who was who. What they did etc only to turn around and say actually I know ive seen them both live and shaken hands with punk before he was in WWE. Most impressed anyone has ever been by the Wrestlers ive me
