10 Unwritten Rules Of Professional Wrestling

10. Stopping To Pose Before Hitting A Move Makes It More Painful

Wrestling is entertainment, albeit entertainment through the medium of assumed combat and sport. The show revolves around individuals trying to hit each other with increasing velocity and intensity, until the opponent is no longer able to keep their shoulders off the floor for three seconds.

Wrestling is also pomp and circumstance, and showboating is an integral part. Most wrestlers will have a signature taunt, such as Randy Orton's arms outstretched, Daniel Bryan's infamous Yes! arms to the sky or even Hulk Hogan and his constant flexing and posing.

If you combine these two, well, extra pain is guaranteed to be administered to your opponent. If you stop to taunt before a punch, a kick, or even a chop, your move will be extra painful. Think of it as summoning some kind of intangible force.
