8. Dance Like An Idiot

When all else fails you, dance.

Not just a trite Disneyism for the modern world, but sound advice for anyone who pulls on tights for a living. Take, for example, the New Day, who started life as a weird happy-clappy evangelist group gimmick seemingly written solely to make other booking creations seem competent by comparison. And yet today the three cheeky chappies can command acres of TV time, WrestleMania feature entrances and some of the strangest merchandise ever to sell surprisingly well.

The difference? Dancing.

It was Big E’s Xtina-level gyrations, in particular, that turned the New Day from jobber sacrifice crew into genuinely beloved Tag Team champions. Just as Shawn Michaels once used literal stripper moves to have female fans dribbling while their menfolk looked on with bemusement (and occasionally violence), so the New Day learned wrestling’s greatest secret: if you really want to get over, just dance.

Dance like no one is watching your oddly protuberant man-breasts a-jiggling.
