11 Things That Only Make Sense In Wrestling (... AND Nowhere Else)

11. Got A Problem? Wait All Week And Then Talk About It For The First Time In The Ring

This one may not be quite as silly as it once was thanks to the invention of social media, but you'll still struggle to get through a single week of wrestling television without it popping up.

In any other situation outside of wrestling, if another human being upset you with their words or actions, there's a strong chance you wouldn't leave it all that long before responding. 

And even if you did let the dust settle a little before reacting to getting jumped or verbally abused by a real-life rival, you'd probably give it a day or a few max before speaking your mind, right?

Within this strange universe, though, waiting a whole week or even longer before making your first comments on a tense situation in front of an arena full of people is the peculiar norm. Just to really drag out that drama.

Admittedly, stars like Drew McIntyre, The Rock, and many others have opted to take to Twitter/X or Instagram to spit out the odd dig and reply (or 20-minute promo!) here or there to keep a feud simmering along in the time between shows in more recent times.

But more often than not, you'll still find wrestlers waiting a full week to react to getting beaten down or called out by an enemy. 

Can you imagine being suddenly criticised by a colleague at work, storming out of the building that day, and then waiting a whole seven-days or more to let them know how you feel in front of a room full of staff and/or customers? Weird.
