* During a Wrestling/{{WCW}} segment, Wrestling/ChrisJericho, to prove a point that no one in any authority actually cared about what he was doing, began reading from a list of "1004 Holds" one of which was the "Moss-Covered, Three-Handled Family Gradenza," a phrase he saw in the 1971 TV adaption of Literature/TheCatInTheHat. Wrestling/PaulHeyman liked the name so much he gave it to Perry Saturn's swinging fisherman's {{suplex finisher}}.
* During the (first Smackdown) feud between Wrestling/JohnCena and Wrestling/BrockLesnar, Cena once referred to Lesnar as a "vanilla gorilla," a common internet nickname for Lesnar.
* Wrestling/JohnCena has openly referred to his finishing sequence as the FiveMovesOfDoom, a term Creator/ScottKeith coined for Wrestling/BretHart's own finishing sequence.
** Funnier when you consider that Scott actually has a similar term for Cena's finishing sequence, but I imagine Cena didn't think "Five Moves of Mediocrity" was as catchy to swipe on TV.
* A {{running gag}} on the Website/{{Wrestlecrap}} message boards was that the thing WWE truly needed was a wrestler with a primadonna [[TheGimmick gimmick]] in the vein of Terrell Owens. Then came the debut of Wrestling/MontelVontaviousPorter.
* After ''Glory By Honor VII: The Final Countdown''(the subtitle itself was an ascended meme), the Wrestling/{{R|ingOfHonor}}OH fans began chanting "Twinkies" at Wrestling/AustinAries during his matches. At ''Supercard Of Honor V'', Aries offered his long time rival [[Wrestling/HunterJohnston Delirious]] a peace offering in the form of...golden snack cakes.
* Wrestling/GorillaMonsoon's complaints that {{tag team}} matches should have two referees eventually mutated into a meme. Then Wrestling/DragonGate introduced the "[[GimmickMatches Gate To Heaven]]" match, one of the details being that it was a tag team match with two referees.
** Another Monsoon example. He was the first to say that Bret Hart had "excellence of execution," which, once a [[SpellMyNameWithAThe "the"]] was added, became one of Bret's {{Red Baron}}s.
* Besides Wrestling/RingOfHonor, Courtney Rush {{scatt|ing}}ed The Final Countdown in response to coming into the same room as Wrestling/SaraDelRey in Wrestling/{{SHIMMER}}.
* During a Wrestling/{{WWE}} sketch showing WWE personalities at a party, commentator Wrestling/MichaelCole went the HamAndCheese route and referenced the fandom meme of his calling moves as "VINTAGE ______" by yelling that he is eating VINTAGE SHRIMP!
** Cole and other announcers, notably the AWESOME Matt Striker, have openly referenced and mocked the memetic nature of "VINTAGE".
* Darren Young, at one point, referenced WWE internet fans' penchant for calling him "Black Wrestling/JohnCena." Cena also paid it back during one of his promos as well.
* On ''Wrestling/{{WWE NXT}}'', the term "Future Endeavored" has been used at least twice (by Wrestling/TheMiz in the first season and Wrestling/CodyRhodes in the second).
** Matt Striker also referenced it at ''Wrestling/{{WrestleMania}}'', telling Wrestling/{{Natalya|Neidhart}} "Good luck in your future endeavors" after she slapped [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Mr. McMahon]] in the face.
** Also used in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]], where Jeremy Borash frequently wishes the person losing their job in the "Feast Or Fired" match "the best of luck in their future endeavours".
** Wrestling/JohnLaurinaitis has also used this phrase on WWE TV (and possibly Wrestling/TripleH as well, if memory serves).
** It was also on a shirt, briefly, though it and the rest of the "Kayfabe" line of shirts didn't sell well and were quickly removed.
* The Cornette Face, made popular by {{Website/Botchamania}}, became an Ascended Meme when Wrestling/JimCornette himself [[https://youtu.be/VGOVOYBLBdw asked to talk to a fan who brought a sign of said face to a pro wrestling show.]] And after TNA Victory Road 2011 (a notoriously horrible Pay Per View that was "highlighted" by one of its main event competitors coming to the ring so under the influence, the match was canceled in the ring and the show was cut short,) Cornette [[https://twitter.com/thejimcornette/status/47428985910603777 tweeted]], "Just watched TNA... I have to come up with a new face."
* The "Miz Girl", a little girl [[https://youtu.be/7LwUID2gbKg&t=3m39s whose reaction]] to Wrestling/TheMiz becoming WWE Champion became a meme within hours, then an Ascended Meme a week later when the Miz pointed it out in his celebration, giving her the official name of the Miz Girl. A few weeks later, she won a Slammy.
** Same thing with the "Shocked [[Wrestling/TheUndertaker Undertaker]] Fan." He was interviewed on WWE.com shortly after his appearance, and also appeared in a series of short cartoons produced by WWE later than year. One day, he got the Undertaker himself to make his famous face.
* In the "Lakers vs. Nuggets" episode of ''Raw'', Wrestling/{{Batista}} made his entrance with a basketball in his hands. This is a reference to his "Basketballs...don't hold grudges!" quote on ''Smackdown''.
* WWE has pretty much stolen the spotlight out of this lately, such as "The Genesis of the [=McGillicutty=]" speech and "He spilled my diet soda!"
* During NXT Season 4, fans have compared Rookie Byron Saxton to [[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir Carlton Banks]]. In most recent episodes, this has been lampshaded by the other rookies, Matt Striker, and even his (new) pro, Wrestling/DolphZiggler.
* On the 900 episode of Raw, Wrestling/{{Edge}} mocked Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} and called him [[Franchise/TheMuppets Beaker.]] The fans took it and ran with it. Fast forward to the October 31st 2011 show, where the Muppets are guest hosts, and Sheamus and Beaker [[https://youtu.be/entL6RoHEP0 meet.]]
* Wrestling/{{WWE}} wrestler Wrestling/ZackRyder was somehow able to turn ''himself'' into a meme thanks to his home-made [[https://www.youtube.com/user/LongIslandIcedZ YouTube show]] "Z! True Long Island Story". His show frequently bemoaned the fact that he was being ignored by WWE, often using double entendres aimed at {{Smart Mark}}s. Eventually WWE took notice of his show's popularity, and Zack became a kind of RunningJoke on TV about... how WWE wouldn't push Zack Ryder on television. (And ironically, in this role he received one ''hell'' of a good push.)
* When [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]] returned to WWE, he mocked Wrestling/JohnCena on, among other things, his wardrobe, calling him "a big fat bowl of Fruity Pebbles". Not long after, Cena helped promote Fruity Pebbles by having his likeness posted on the cereal's boxes. [[https://youtu.be/SDjrW5hKplE But that's not all...]]
* Wrestling/CMPunk, during his feud with Wrestling/VinceMcMahon in 2011, grabbed a headset during a brawl with Vince and screamed "WHAT A MANEUVER!" before driving Vince's face into the announce table in reference to Vince's infamous style of commentary from the [=90s=].
* In 2013, Wrestling/{{Fandango}} openly addressed the fact his fans were "[[AccidentalDanceCraze Fandangoing]]". The week after it took off, Jerry Lawler hosted an entire segment dedicated to it.
* The naming of the tag team of [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] and Wrestling/{{Kane}} was put up to a fan vote... in which all of the choices were pre-existing {{fan nickname}}s for the two, including "Team Friendship" and the winning "[[Wrestling/TeamHellNo Hell No]]".
** Speaking of Daniel Bryan, his "YES! YES! YES!" chants were subject to this when fans caught on to it and started using it for just about every in-ring event. This would lead to WWE creating a shirt featuring the phrase, along with a whole slew of "YES! YES! YES!" merchandise.
* In 2012, Wrestling/TaelerHendrix shed her jackets for more elaborate ring gear, started dying her hair a more vibrant shade of red and took on a much more manipulative, seductive demeanor leading fans to compare her to Tiara from ''Anime/ShamanicPrincess'' or ''Comicbook/PoisonIvy'' from Batman. "Poison Princess" eventually became her official RedBaron in [[Wrestling/TruthMartini The House Of Truth]] and Wrestling/RingOfHonor.
* In 2013, a fan used a {{bubble gun}} during one of [[Wrestling/TenilleDashwood Emma's]] entrances. Following that, WWE made a bubble gun a regular part of her entrances and added bubbles to her video packages.

* At the second ''ECW One Night Stand'' PPV in 2006, ECW fans famously hung a sign saying "If Cena wins we riot" from the balcony of the Hammerstein Ballroom (Cena was only there because Money In the Bank winner Rob Van Dam, a veteran from the original ECW, chose then in advance as his cash-in match, which he won with help from Edge). In 2017, when Wrestling/{{Ruby Riot|t}} debuted on NXT, her theme music was titled "We Riot".
* At the start of the Wrestling/ColtCabana-Grado [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7n3ZxvTBv2g match]] at ''AIW Bloodsport'', September 9, 2016, Colt tried for a German Suplex and the commentator said, "You can't German Suplex Grado. It's like trying to powerbomb Wrestling/BillyKidman."
