2. Remove Fuzzy Dice From A Pole

It's all about grinding, and "scratching and clawing" your way to the top. And, at the pinnacle, following that torturous climb, glory awaits.

For the men. The women got fuzzy dice before Stephanie McMahon pretended she cared about them all along.

On the October 17, 2008 SmackDown, Tazz previewed next week's main event between the Undertaker and Triple H. "Gigantic," he called it, and then "Speaking of gigantic - those fuzzy dice are gigantic!"

Mercifully, Tazz was joined on commentary by Jim Ross, and not Jerry Lawler, for he would have said "And those t*ts on Maryse are gigantic too, Tazz!" At least Ross would've only 'Liked' the GIF of Victoria ascending up the pole, as the camera ascended up her legs, on the WWEPPorn Twitter account. The Divas had to retrieve the dice to earn a shot at the Divas Championship, and what an ingenious prop. Women love things that are pink and fluffy ("So cute!"), so they were transfixed.

Really, were it not for the logistical issue, only a puppy covered in glitter might have better ignited their competitive spirit.
