We miss wrestling. We know it's still around, but there was something about the eras of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and Macho Man Randy Savage that we yearn for bitter-sweetly. The colors, the pageantry. The hilarious feuds. It all came together in the perfect show of absolute stupidity. While we can still find videos on Youtube, another way to get the nostalgia going is by scrolling through @the.atomic.elbow on Instagram. Their "wrasslin' memes" feature stills of all our favorite wrestlers of yore - paired with painfully relatable and comedic captions. We've put a bunch of 'em in this gallery, but if you need more mosey on down to their Instagram and give 'em a follow. They're doing some good stuff.

Probably the best part of pro wrestling is the marvelous acting that ensues. These people are some serious thespians, and this new John Cena meme, entitled "Confused John Cena," is a prime example of that.

I'm calling it now: this little girl has a furure in the ring. That is one hell of a death stare. If looks could kill, who ever is on the receiving end would be stone dead on the floor. But that's life you can't always get what you want. Televised wrestling outside of the Greco-Roman style is pretty much fake, with basically every move choreographed and planned before hand. But it doesn't stop it from looking awesome. However, when wrestling meets real people, it can get way more real than intended.

She's definitely more of a fighter than an entertainer, apparently. That is the face of someone who does not know what she's supposed to say. The whole time you're thinking, "c'mon, just make a sentence! Please!"

On his podcast the other day, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, the only professional wrestler to have delivered the stunner to a president, devluged the secret behind his finishing move, the "Stone Cold Stunner."
This came after WWE Universal champion Kevin Owen performed a stunner in his Royal Rumble match with Roman Reigns. Of course, Owens asked for permission to use the movie, however, Stone Cold took issue with how it was performed.
What follows is a breakdown of the move:
- The Kick
- “Sometimes when you get into your oxygen reserves, what happens? You start to lose your thought process. You can’t perform up to your utmost ability. The beauty is when you kick the guy in the gut, right in the diaphragm, boom! You sap his lung of all the oxygen. All of a sudden, his brain’s like, ‘Ugh… I need to breathe! I’m about halfway blown up! This is deep in the match, I need oxygen.’”

I’m about halfway blown up! This is deep in the match, I need oxygen.’”
- Lock the head:
- “Right underneath the jaw you’ve got two holes on eiach side of your jaw, the foramen nerves. That’s where people get knocked out. So when you grab that head, put it on top of your collarbone, the AC (acromioclavicular) region, your trapezoid, you’re locking that jaw down.”
- “Right underneath the jaw you’ve got two holes on eiach side of your jaw, the foramen nerves. That’s where people get knocked out. So when you grab that head, put it on top of your collarbone, the AC (acromioclavicular) region, your trapezoid, you’re locking that jaw down.”
- Impact
- “Let’s say someone (who’s) 250 pounds hits you with an uppercut. Now let’s take double body weight, 500 pounds, give or take, hitting you with an uppercut—that’s both men’s weights coming down on that shoulder. You hit your ass on the mat, the mat springs you back up, giving that energy a direct path—your vertebrae, your back— through your shoulders to his damn jawbone, wham! Lights out. That’s how scientific it is.”
Those are the key ingredients to a perfect stunner. But even when it's not perfect, it's pretty awesome:
