9 Laws Of Physics That Only Exist In Wrestling

This is a corollary of the classic film trope pertaining to ninjutsu, in which it might take a karate hero several minutes to fight a single ninja, but mere seconds to dispatch each one of them if attacked en masse. The idea is that there is a finite amount of ninja ability available at a given time in a given place, and the same holds true for professional wrestling, the only fighting style deadlier than ninjutsu.

Think about it: how many times have you complained that it's not really "overcoming the odds" if John Cena wins all of his handicap matches? That's because you never realized that the team with the numerical "advantage" is handicapped by being forced to divide a finite supply of wrestling talent between them. It's why John Cena would normally take 15 minutes to beat one guy, but he and Randy Orton defeated the entire Raw roster in 8. If Orton hadn't been there each guy would have crumbled into dust the second Cena touched them.
