10 Things About WWE You Didn't Get Until You Were Older

1. Those Random Letters On Stone Cold€™s Vest

Arguably the WWE€™s biggest star of all time, Stone Cold Steve Austin was anything but subtle. He made the use of foul language a veritable art form and established the middle finger as possibly the most famous wrestling hand sign of all time. But, remember his trademark leather vest? Of course you do. It was marked by skulls and various letters, which changed from time to time. While many could probably figure out what S.O.B stood for (based, if nothing else, on the language he would frequently use in promos), it was probably trickier to guess what O.M.R. stood for. While you may have eventually realized that it stood for One More Round, the concept of binge drinking probably wasn€™t high on your priority list as a kid. At one point, his vest featured the letters B.M.F. Now, while Austin was able to get away with uttering S.O.B. in it€™s unabbreviated form during the Attitude Era, he certainly wasn€™t allowed to say "Bad Mother F****r."

I am a writer and stand-up comedian living in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I didn't witness the Bret Hart screw job in person, but I did watch the Breaking Point PPV live and that was terrible it its own way. I am dangerously obsessed with professional wrestling and its surrounding culture. I am the current ring announcer for a local fed called the IWS. I got to introduce Tommy Dreamer a while back. My head almost exploded. I am a mark, and proud of it. I also co-host a podcast called Go Plug Yourself, which has featured quite a few local wrestlers and even Mick Foley. Speaking of the Mickster, I once got to be his warmup act when he was in town for comiccon. My head actually exploded that time. I've recovered... sort of.
