10 Things That Only Happen in Pro Wrestling

10. The Sound Guy Knows All

Some of the most memorable moments in wrestling history have been when a wrestler has appeared out of the blue, completely unexpectedly. Nobody, it would seem, was aware that this person was in town, let alone in the building and in the ring. The most recent example of this was the monstrous pop that Shane McMahon received upon his return to a WWE ring on Raw after an absence of eight years. Shane’s father, Vince McMahon, the owner of the company, before whom everything has to be approved, was shocked. He had no idea that Shane was coming back, apparently.

Now, if the boss himself is unaware, there’s surely no chance that anyone else would know, right? Wrong. Wrestling history has shown time and time again that there is one man who has a greater knowledge of the inside dealings of every single wrestling promotion ever. Yes people, bow down to the sound guy!

The WWE sound guy was the only person in the entire WWE who knew that Shane O Mac was returning. The sound guy was the only person in the Hoosier Dome who knew that The Ultimate Warrior was returning at WrestleMania VIII.  Or that Chris Jericho would be interrupting The Rock on Raw back in 1999. You know, if only internet journalists could get in with the sound guy, they’d have all manner of exclusive wrestling scoops.
