 What's good, George? Well Ross back again with another video. So we're gonna check out. Why do WWE wrestlers wipe their feet? Wrestling traditions that are still practiced today I'm gonna check this video cuz it interests me just off the title along because I never understood why wrestlers wipe their feet before They get into the ring, but if it obviously some type of wrestling tradition, which I think is it's cool That wrestling still has some of the old school traditions happening in today's wrestling I think that is cool. And I want to see what other tidbits and interesting facts of like old school Wrestling traditions that are still performed today Appreciate all the love and support on the channel y'all man. We are almost at 90k You guys have been running up like crazy with the views likes and subscriptions. Thank you guys so much Let's get right into this one. This should be a good one Seline is so much more than just a job for wrestling media to WWE It's a lifestyle. That's one of the reasons why there are a lot of traditions unwritten rules and etiquette that wrestlers must follow when they get to WWE some of them you see on TV while others are hidden backstage One tradition you may notice when watching WWE is wrestlers wiping their feet on the edge of the ring There are a few reasons why they do this one is simply to help keep the ring clean Garbage and other ways can attach themselves to a wrestler's boots So to prevent it from being brought into the ring wrestlers wipe off Additionally, it's a sign of respect respect for the ring where many wrestlers have given their blood sweat tears and lives and where many more Will in the future Wrestlers also wipe their feet as a sign of respect to their colleagues who are performing later in the show by keeping the ring clean for them This next while didn't know that that that's cool. That's a sign of respect. So next time I'm gonna try to look out for that Probably a Monday night wrong. See if they do that on Monday night raw this upcoming Monday But yeah, that's cool. I did not know that this tradition is hidden from fans And you might not even know it exists the tradition is cleaning up the locker room when a new WWE wrestler joins the main roster It's tradition for them to stay until after the show and clean up the locker room Additionally newer talent usually helps out the veteran talent by making sure the veterans have water available towels and other things Newer wrestlers will continue to do this until a veteran tells them they don't have to well This practice isn't done as much today wrestlers like Aleister Black and Russo both said they'd make sure to clean the locker room when they start wrestling on the main roster in fact for Aleister Black Roman Reigns was the person who told him He didn't have to clean up after the shows once that happened It meant that black had been accepted by the other WWE wrestlers and was part of the team Yes, that's I guess you could say It's like a form of hazing a little bit or like bringing in a new guy any like Organization especially like if you're in college you went to college You know like if you're trying to join the organization using the new person has to do like to clean up work Make sure everybody is good. And once you've been there for a while Gain your like your reps game like your reputation or whatnot people But I ain't got to do that no more the new new guy has to do that You're you're one of us now that's kind of just what it is It's like wrestling is a fraternity fraternity and sorority. So it makes sense one other tradition that mostly newer WWE wrestlers need to follow is respecting veterans and main event talent There are a lot of big wrestlers on the WWE roster and sometimes the locker room gets pretty cramped However, no matter how little room there is everyone is expected to make space for veteran wrestlers and top talent like the world champions Even if you've been in WWE for a while if you're not a legend or a main event star You're expected to give up space if you don't or if you do something that makes someone angry you can get in Trouble the Miz infamously got kicked out of the locker room when he was a newcomer to WWE He was eating some chicken and actually spilled some of it onto Chris Benoit's bags Benoit had the Miz banned from the locker room and the Aleister had to use the public bathrooms where the fans were Finally after the Miz had a match against the Undertaker the dead man allowed Miz back into the locker room Similar to staying. Yep, that's that's been documented and he felt some type of way about that He felt slightly about that for a while and taking care of the locker room Another tradition is that no one leaves until the show is over Yeah, even if you already had your match the reasons for this are one to show respect to your fellow wrestlers and two to watch the Other matches and absorb as much knowledge as possible This tradition isn't practiced by everyone But according to Kevin Owens when John Cena was around Cena to make sure to watch every match in the show So you can see what the crowd was reacting to another Judition you'll see on TV which is pretty cool. That's pretty cool Like once the matches some people is different I think probably Brock is one of the few people like he probably after his man Well, usually his matches are the last match of the show So, you know, but say his match was kind of early, you know saying or he had a quick night He'll usually leave right after that. I'm out So I'm sure there's some exceptions for certain wrestlers. They do their job and they're pretty much out of there Dang a receipt means getting back at someone Yeah during a match a wrestler might get careless and Or hit their opponent for real if that happens the rest of that got hurt might issue a receipt Usually it comes in the form of intentionally punching kicking or doing something to get even with your opponent Now a wrestler giving a receipt typically won't try to seriously injure anyone It's just meant to be a little payback Chris Jericho once got punched by Shane McMahon during a match So Jericho gave Shane a receipt by kicking him in the face. Yeah, sometimes a wrestler will give him a receipt We've seen that video on here at one night stand. We've seen the wrestlers give him receipts I think it was by tap out corner from my mistake isn't five JBL infamously start attacking blue meanie for real and actually made him bleed About a month later the blue meanie and JBL were having a match Stevie Richards interfered and gave JBL an extra hard chair shot to the head as a receipt This unwritten rule kind of makes sense But also doesn't WWE wrestlers aren't supposed to talk about their matches regardless of a wrestler had a good match or a bad one They aren't supposed to ask anyone how it went when you've made it to WWE It's expect that you can gauge matches on your own and don't need advice or validation from others If a wrestler has a match that was bad, they need to accept it and make sure their next match is better Likewise if a wrestler had a really good match, he or she should not break about it Similarly when a wrestler wins a championship, it's an unwritten rule that you show it off only when necessary This is to help print egos from getting out of check and to help keep good locker room morale This is something you probably never thought about but Wrestlers are all supposed to speak English and it's not for the reason you might expect Sure WWE shows are all done in English and that is part of it However, the real reason wrestlers are also supposed to talk in English is so they can communicate during matches Wrestlers will often talk to their opponent secretly during a match to discuss what moves they're gonna perform next It's incredibly important since a misunderstanding could lead to a bad match going even worse I'm getting injured Oh my gosh This is perhaps the reason why the original Sankara would often botch moves in his matches since he did not speak English To help avoid this all WWE wrestlers are told to communicate in English Not all WWE traditions are serious and which makes sense You know when you're trying to telegraph some spots to your opponent or not it's best to be able to speak the same language or Potentially there can be some botches or you know injuries that happen Some of them are fun WWE wrestlers are on the road a lot and need to stay positive One way they do this is by pranking each other or ribbing as it's called when X-Pac was new in WWE a bunch of Wrestlers got him drunk on his 21st birthday and shaved off his eyebrows while he was passed out Unfortunately for X-Pac WWE was taking promo pics the very next day So he ended up having no eyebrows when they took them damn Having backstage some wrestlers that prank each other on TV to see those watch this video. Wow, that's that's Imagine celebrating your birthday you get passed out drunk and then your colleagues shave your eyebrows And then you got a photo off the next day, so you got to take the photo with no eyebrows That's cold-buddy man, but that was the time period back then just you know guys just messing around having a good time So but this was a very interesting video some of this stuff I did not know was a thing man But it's also cool at the same time that wrestlers still keep some type of in-house tradition when it comes to Newer talent coming into the company and everyone keeping a good positive morale This was a pretty informative dope video man shout out to tap out corner I'm gonna go ahead and like this make sure you subscribe to tap our corner the link to the original video will be down below But comment down below. Let me know which one of these Traditions did you not know about I legit didn't know why they did wipe their feet Oh, and I didn't know that was just like a show of sign of respect and just to keep the ring Did not know that but that was a pretty interesting Fact so but I appreciate all love and support road to 90k research. I can give me see
