What These Secret WWE Hand Signals Mean

How do WWE wrestlers know right when to make the tag or kick out? There are some secret signals that they use that we'll explain in this video and more.

[@1v1n_ny]

“Are you alright?” “No. You gotta give me the Tombstone” 😂

probably to finish the match

[@XThirdEyeX]

Haha, right??? 🤣...finishing moves are supposed to be devastating and CAUSE the most damage.

[@shawnmichaels568]

I am glad that more people are noticing that the wrestlers eyes being opened during the pin is an indicator of them kicking out, I though i was one of the only people who noticed that.

[@iiTsFaded_]

Roman is good enough with sound cues that he doesn’t need to have his eyes open

[@shmungguss]

[@iiTsFaded_]

@@shmunggussobviously for a match like that and a venue like that, he has them open. In general he listens to the sound.

[@KDB349]

I don't notice any wrestlers doing this. There eyes legitimately look close. Maybe its the camera angle lol.

[@ICW251]

​@iiTsFaded_ I think you're getting Roman Reigns mixed up with Stone Cold, as he literally has mentioned this on a few occasions. Go back and watch Stone Colds matches and see for yourself. Roman's eyes are open.

[@master-of-mind5881]

Vince milking his ear is TV gold. 😂😂😂😂

[@flanaj2]

I'm pretty sure Bruce Prichard is lying as usual. When Vince did that ear-tug it was an immediate reaction to Flair's comment. There shouldn't have been a music cue before this point.

[@claytron3000]

@@flanaj2Flair made the announcement, but the ear-tug was a cue to hit Austin’s music. Austin came out right after this to stun Angle and beat up McMahon. If you’re going to call Prichard a liar, at least watch the video again. It’s on KZbin. Pretty easy stuff to research. By the way, Hunter said the same thing - Vince was trying to cue the music, but he did it so obviously that it became an inside joke with the boys backstage.

[@Nonku16Tshombe]

The clap by Randy is a rhythmic thing he does, he does not always clap his hands before hitting that power slap

[@JustinCarbaugh]

Yea I'm pretty sure 65% of the time, they already know they need to take the move

[@shinraninja]

yeah its rhythmic thing. njpw wrestlers do it all the time on alot of moves - and besides theres no way they can tell i n time if hes gonna clap or not

[@claytron3000]

100%, it’s a rhythm thing. The spot is already called - they already know during the Irish-whip if they’re taking it or not.

[@Dadpool5864]

Same with the DDT …. No way the slap as you are dropping the DDT is enough time for them to register in their brain to take the move

[@Nonku16Tshombe]

@@Dadpool5864 yeah

[@therealSouljaMan]

Randy’s powerslam is toooo smooth

[@zanethind]

Yeah

[@shawnmichaels568]

Back then, Majority of the time atleast. If a wrestlers eyes were open during pins, I knew they were going to kick out.

[@skrounst]

Chris Jericho coaching after getting beat down by the guy is amazing. He's like a movie director, trying to get the most drama possible.

[@NEOPLAYZ12]

That was one powerful powerslam to Bobby Roode

[@sebulbathx]

I like knowing more behind the scenes of wrestling. And I think knowing the secrets don't take away anything from wrestling. More the opposite if anything.

[@Nclchitchat]

Giving your opponent the Iggy is its insider term. As a referee I used to give the iggy to a wrestler to indicate how much time was left or to go home etc.

[@idkwhoiambutsexgoeson]

Thx, now I’ll use this as advantages when me and my friends have a battle of predicting the wrestler’s next move

[@mrpianistanddrumcover2970]

back to back to back videos!? Awesome!

[@JacksonMcCabe-xy7fb]

good video i love your channel

[@NekoHibaCosplay]

I remember that back in the day I made fun of Cena for being so lousy during his calls, but then I heard that interview when he was called out for that and he said "I'd rather be heard saying, 'Hit me, motherfucker' than saying nothing and have crickets" and I changed my mind🤣

[@ShawueFan]

And so many people are calling this "fake shit"...yes, it's scripted but you have to train hard for these moves und you have to be aware of so much at the same time every second...

[@OfentseMwaseFilms]

I love this video, but from 04:23 you show us a bunch of Empty shots, is that intentional ??

[@cometstyles3772]

i knew about all except the Vince ear one lol

[@ManiPlaysYT]

😂😂😂 at the end, Miz kept running

[@kassieriichman9238]

I realized the eyes open and hands under

[@Mitten4371]

I've been a wrestling fan ever since I was a kid but I try to watch these matches closely to see if I can pick up anything during the matches. So one thing that I've noticed that the wrestlers do is that when they land face first on the mat they try to land with their hands touching the mat first. I guess that prevents them from getting seriously hurt and I've noticed that when wrestlers are coming off the turnbuckle to make a splash off the top turnbuckle. I've noticed that the wrestlers on the mat has their arms tucked inside and I guess that prevents the wrestlers from getting their arms broken. I mean the storylines might be fake but what they do in the ring isn't fake at all

[@inskrootable]

Tap out corner is the best❤❤❤❤

[@Ricki_47]

I always picked up on the super Plex and the leg bent to counter dives

[@ludicrous7044]

There was a rumor that Rick Flair wore a different color cape to indicate if he would win or lose. He always denied it but it does seem to have a pattern to it.

[@BeaneinReal]

[@population-_-420]

I feel like this video is telling me Santa Claus and tooth fairy are not real 🥺

[@flickcentergaming680]

I don't mind WWE being scripted. It makes it safer for the participants while keeping enough risk and action to be worth watching. Kind of like a sword fight sequence in a movie.

[@avengersendgame9706]

So you are saying its all scripted 😮

[@JacksonMcCabe-xy7fb]

i mean wwe is scripetd but like they need to know when to do a spot and make sure its safe yea it still hurrs but still

[@TheDearestNightOwl]

It still hurts, but hand signals and cue stuff like this ensures that the people doing the moves and stunts will be okay most of the time. Wrestlers are not ACTUALLY trying to injure each other. Why would they unironically want to? They have families to go to after shows, after all.

[@user-zm1cc5lj1e]

[@twentytolife4401]

Randy not clapping hands for a powerslam doesnt mean dont take it. They both knew he wasn't going to do it because Randy does a spin to his fists. Not a cue. Also, Vince pulling his ear to cue music doesnt make sense. They've cued music without signals thousands of times.

[@karlepaul6632]

"As the scripted nature became more well known..."...more well known to who? lol I think what you meant to say is that because the matches are already pre-planned ahead of time between the wrestlers, they don't do much calling of the match in the ring anymore.

Tell me you don’t know what a accent is

[@mydhouse]

And you keep saying this😂, Randy’s clap is not for yes or no. It’s to catch the rhythm

[@ElijahOlaoluwa-nw7gz]

No The clap is to determine either to take it or not Also, while taking ddt if the giver beat the back the taker would take it but if not would counter
