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

Joining things like ladder and Royal Rumble contests as stipulation matches capable of completely altering the way getting hit by another human feels apparently, various Elimination tag bouts and Iron Man matches have a similar effect on a body it seems. 

Just like you probably have your own signature move at work - a flourish of a pencil or particular way you like to sign off an email - wrestlers have their own collection of signature and finishing weapons. But while the former typically aren't enough to get the job done in a standard singles encounter, they miraculously grow in power during the aforementioned battles.

Batista's spear wasn't typically strong enough to end an average match. However, if he unleashed one in the midst of a Survivor Series Elimination contest - like he did back in 2008 against Mark Henry - you bet your ass 'The World's Strongest Man' was staying down for the count.

And the same strangely applies to Iron Man wars, with folks like Triple H occasionally earning a pin-fall point with a Spinebuster, despite that move rarely being enough to win him a match in other bouts.

These attacks would obviously have an equal effect on your anatomy outside of the wrestling bubble. But within it, these weapons' power levels have an accepted habit of fluctuating depending on the scenario.
