[[File:Batista.png|link=Batista|frame|Wrestling's patron saint of [[Memetic Mutation]]]]
Even the world of wrestling is not safe of memes, ([[Big "What?"|what?]]) most of which were started either by [[Wrestlecrap]] ([[Running Gag|what?]]) and their original [[Message Board]] (now the Freaking Awesome Network forums), ([[Rule of Three|what?]]) or their rivals over at [[Image Boards|420chan]]'s /[[Ric Flair|wooo]]/ [[Overly Long Gag|(what?)]], or occasionally, fresh out of [[Botchamania]]. [[Overly Long Gag|(what?)]]
''The cameras pan over the crowd, highlighting the various signs and other things the fans brought from home. Then the camera zooms in on a sign stating,'' '''FOLEY IS GOD'''.
* Many [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] catchphrases make their way to get quoted by people who don't know the source. Statements like [[Stone Cold Steve Austin|Stone Cold's]], "That's the bottom line." [[Dwayne Johnson|Rock]]: "Layeth the smacketh down." [[Hulk Hogan]]'s, "(name)-amania." [[The Undertaker]]'s, "I'll make you famous." And, I knew that [[Chris Jericho]] had made it when I heard a cartoon character call his sister an "Ass-clown."
* A Lex Luger T-shirt promo in 2005 gave birth to many memes, such as "I DON'T KNOOOW!" or "Billy what'shisname."'

* One common in some wrestling boards is to post a picture of a promotions' booker looking smug, sometimes subtitled "Problem, IWC?" when insane booking decisions come up. [https://web.archive.org/web/20140803175117/http://www.topsocialite.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/vince-mcmahon.jpg Vince McMahon] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130923101026/http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/pictures/v/vincerusso/03.jpg Vince Russo] are most common.

* When Muhammad Hassan first entered [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]], he'd interrupt other wrestlers promos and the like, always with his theme music, which starts with an Arabic ululation, preceding him. This spread to [[YTMND]], where it became known as "Hassaning", and was used to interrupt everything from love scenes to the theme sequence from ''[[Family Matters]]'' to -- '''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALIYALAILYALAILYALAYLEE'''....
* [[Ric Flair]]: One-Man meme-machine:
** WOOOOOO! (Especially in response to someone getting a "knife edge chop" to the chest)
Line 73:
** [[Chris Jericho]] hates this site. He will never.........EEEEEEEEEEVER..... View it uhgayn! You hick assclowns!
