Ten More Weird Things I Do Because of Wrestling
By James Guttman
In June 2005, I wrote one of my favorite columns - Ten Weird Things I Do Because of Wrestling . Now, three years later, I present ten more. Why did it take me so long to come up with another list? Because I don't do many weird things. Yeah...that's the ticket. Read on.
1. I do The Mr. Perfect gum spit/hit motion.
I do it every time.
Every single time.
Chew, chew, chew…
Spit…
Slap…
Swat.
That's how it works.
When you're a wrestling fan, there's really no other way to dispose of your gum.
When I was about 10, I did it while walking through a supermarket parking lot and accidentally hit a car window.
The people inside were crazy and, shall we say, unhappy.
They also didn't care that Curt Hennig did it.
Most normal people would start throwing out their gum the regular way after that.
Then again, I'm not normal.
I still do it now.
2.
I stop by the wrestling figure aisle at stores.
I haven't bought one in years, but I can't help but go look.
That's one of the fringe benefits to having a baby in May.
Now I can do it whenever I want without clerks saying, "Excuse me, sir?
Can I help you with something?"
3.
During the heyday of the Million Dollar Man, I've stuffed dollar bills in the mouths of friends.
In some cases, I think I may have even done it to myself.
That's always a good way to get the ol' "Don't do that!
Those things are dirty!' speech.
It's also a good way to get a life-threatening disease.
Thanks, Ted.
Everybody's got Mono…for the Million Dollar Man.
Hahahahahhaha!
4.
I've tried to tear off a t-shirt Hulk Hogan style.
Any kid in the 80s who tried doing it took all of two minutes to figure out why Hulk's tees all had big holes cut out of the back.
Nothing like nearly strangling yourself to death to help you understand that not everything on TV is as it seems.
Sure, it wasn't green, but it was still a mist.
Well, actually, it wasn't a mist either.
It sort of dribbled out, but the idea was to make a mist.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that's how Triple H's water deal started.
He was trying to do the Muta with some Poland Spring and the rest, as they say, is history.
6.
Whenever I hear the song "Daniel" by Elton John, I change the words.
Not really sure why, but it just fits.
The only line I change is…
"Well, I miss Daniel…."
Instead, for some reason, I always sing….
"Well, I'm Chris Daniels…"
I didn't even realize I was doing this until one day I was driving along and it came on the radio.
My wife turned to me and said, "Who the hell is Chris Daniels?"
7.
Any folding chair that my family owned when I was growing up ended up with a dent in it.
Every one.
8.
I've drank beer like Steve Austin.
It works like this:
Take two cans.
Pop 'em open.
Smash them together violently.
Put them both above your head and pour them on your face.
Total amount of beer that ends up being consumed from this process: 0.0 liters
9.
When someone says, "It's time."
The first thing I hear in my head is, "It's TIME!
IT'S VADER TIME!"
10. When I fake punch someone, I stomp on the ground.
People who don't watch wrestling usually fake punch you without the stomp.
They also end up hitting you in the face too.
