10 Most Repeated Wrestling Tropes And Cliches

[@shawnmichaels568]

Back in the day, I thought I was one of those people who noticed the wrestler who set up the table will 98% be the one going through it and thinking that it was a curse. Lol.

[@jfrostk8912]

Always Happened to Me In Games too Lol

[@mrdipzgaming9150]

except the dudley’s “🗣️GET THE TABLES!”

[@misterchubbikins]

I grew up with the dudley boys being the ones setting up tables do that wasn't really a trope in my era.

[@DLTyrus]

Except its a total myth. If you actually watch for it, wrestlers don't go through tables they set up themselves any more often than they go through ones set up by their opponents. It's just a weird idea that people came up with and for some reason has stuck around. Some people said it had something to do with safety, that "if you're gonna go through a table, you wanna be the one to set it up in case anything goes wrong." This doesn't really make sense of a number of levels, since tables have never been particularly dangerous part of wrestling and there are really no major injuries associated with table spots where the setup of the table was to blame, and taking care of your opponent is such a basic part of wrestling that - outside of a few egregious examples, maybe - nobody is so distrusting as to need to set up their own tables.

Booker T commentating his own match is hilarious 😂 you can tell he's having so much fun with it

Whaddya mean Booker T commentating? That was clearly Black Snow

Yeah it's funny when they can take a trope snd put a spin on it.

My wife has only been watching wrestling for about 2 years now. Last Monday on Raw, Miz went to get a table. My wife said "don't set that table up Miz! He who sets up the table, goes through the table!"

[@Jcro-10]

Haha. A quick learner!!

[@MummysBraveBoy]

Have you repeatedly, loudly and aggressively told her that it's all fake when she has the nerve. No, the sheer huberous to enjoy it?? I know you're probably a fan too, but you, me and the rest of the fanbase know full well that, should a fan be spotted in the wild (alone or in a group), people HAVE to let that fan know how fake it is. Not just that though, we all have a duty and must make sure that, when you do say it's fake, you need to do it as if you're the first and only person to have ever done so, after discovering that professional wrestling is actually scripted! Honestly, it is. When they go out, they aren't actually hitting each other. They are pretending. To dive deeper though, when a match is over and one of the wrestlers is declared as the "winner" ... Don't believe it! They actually already knew who was going to win before they even got in the ring! If she's going to be a fan, you need to treat her like one. Treat her the same way as everybody else. 😂😂😂😂

[@briwanderz]

Sami Zayn's blue thunder bomb "the least devastating move in all of sports entertainment" Simon Miller started calling it that, in contrast to "the most devastating move in all of sports entertainment.. the rollup" because Sami NEVER won with that move, then he got that one pinfall win with the blue thunder bomb and it was hilarious.. but now it is back to being "the least devastating move in all of sports entertainment"

[@shawnmichaels568]

Everytime a wrestler is setting up a table, I am like: "Yep, He is definitely be the one going through it.

[@paulcowlishaw]

I do that lol.

[@jfrostk8912]

​@@paulcowlishawEven In Games I always Do That Not Intentionally

[@WrestlingFlicks]

Some people won't get how this channel exerts effort to collect all those footages. It's not as easy as searching KZbin for "Wrestling 9 Count Out" or something. They really did their digging. And on the first trope, they even went the extra mile to collect footages from the false finishes and with the same superstar, a rare occurrence when the move did finish the match. What a channel.

[@rtyuik7]

6:20 - so glad you included the Booker T clip of Booker T, commentating Booker T's assault, while Booker T assaults everyone else in the ring... ...i still havent said Booker T's name as many times as he did, during that segment :-P

[@showtime1235]

when it comes to the false finish trope i honestly wish wrestlers won more matches w regular moves or maybe some signature moves because the false finishes would actually matter like no one wins a match unless they hit their finisher so literally 99% of pins have no intensity behind them at all

[@aldouscoroza]

[@TylerPrince_]

I love the fact that there was 4 Blue Thunder Bomb's in the False Finish section of this video & EVERY SINGLE ONE was on AJ Styles 🤣

[@TheActualKingOfRailfanning]

When I started watching wrestling, my dad always said “whoever sets up the table, goes through it” every time someone sets up a table I go “oh no.” Especially if it’s my favourite wrestler who sets up the table.

[@michael43567]

going for a pin after a move you've never won with always makes me laugh.

[@Jcro-10]

That’s why I like guys with multiple finishing moves. For example AJ Styles. He has the phenomenal forearm, styles clash, and the calf crusher. All of these moves typically win him matches. But back in tna he also used the spiral tap which got wins too!!

[@DieFrauAmHerd]

Table spots follow that rule, because you dont wanna get sued because your partner screws up the position of the table. Wrestlers shoot about this, saying its for safety reasons

[@matthewlevine2159]

Clichés are most of wrestling history. Last man standing? Heel dominating using weapons, finishers, a couple of cannons and a nuke...And the face wins after a finisher. RA era steel cage: the heel is a coward constantly trying to escape the cage as soon as possible.

[@eliteclapz4568]

[@holyother1]

As a kid I always refuse to set up the table in svr cause I knew I’d go through it if I set it up

[@Muenga.S.Thapelombanga]

Booker T whopping wrestlers while talking on the mic is classic 😂😂

[@paulcowlishaw]

Every time I see someone setting up a table now. I say to myself hes going through it."

[@BoltUnagi]

I've noticed that countouts are slower now in days than they were back in the Hulkamania era. Back then the ref counted faster. And it's also the reason why allot of matches ended in count out. But now in days when the referee does make the ten count. They wait for a few seconds after each count. And when the ref reaches 9. They wait a few seconds longer.

[@fenixrises9854]

I liked how dean ambrose was like “we all know how this is gonna end anyway, I call dibs on the table” lol 😂

[@rtyuik7]

a lot of more-recent "False Finishes" have the failed pin be such a surprise, even though it was only like the 5th move of the match...im fine with having early pin-attempts, and plenty of 2-counts, but all im saying is to tone down the 'selling'...like, if the pinning wrestler made a face that was more like "yeah, i figured itd take more than That to win..." instead of the usual "HOW DID YOU KICK OUT OF THAT IRISH WHIP?!"

[@misterchubbikins]

Okay, booker t doing his own commentary while whooping ass in the ring was funny.

[@Medazis]

4:47 Damn, Chris almost committed a cuiside suicide 🫣

Another predictable cliche is in ring "wedding" segments. Name me one segment like that, that doesn't end in a disaster.

6:53 HHH: "can it be better? Sure it can be better and that's my job, to make it better" Talk about foreshadowing.

[@Joe_Parmesan]

A more recent cliche is a wrestler getting tossed out of the ring early into a match. Chances are it's going to lead to the person inside hitting a dive outside of the ring. Adding onto that, huddles of people standing together, resulting in someone diving on top of them all.

[@markula_4040]

The 'Go Home Math' theory has to be the most overblown thing in wrestling history. Every time you see it happen, you think it happens every time but it doesn't. A better trope are dives to the outside NEVER missing. There supposed to be high risk but no one wants to splat to the outside so the opponent simply never dodges. It's just lame.

[@truepotential206]

I hate the cliche of at the end of match they exchange one blow at a time and crowd go "yyaaay" , "booo" , yay, boo.
