Go To

1Mordecai and Rigby sneak into a wrestling event. Meanwhile, Pops is mistaken for an up-and-coming wrestler.
2----
3!!"Really Real Wrestling" contains example of:
4* AbortedArc: Adverted and Played with. It took Huge Head [[Recap/RegularShowS06E22MenInUniform four years]] to get his revenge on Pops.
5* ContrivedCoincidence: Pops is heading to the wrestling match and accidentally lands on Huge Head, a wrestler who was about to perform and looks almost exactly like Pops. This causes Pops to be mistaken for Huge Head. What are the odds?
6* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Pops is this in spades in this episode. Despite being a old-fashioned {{Cloudcuckoolander}} the majority of the time, Pops is a ''very'' effective wrestler.
7* CurbStompCushion: Mordecai, Rigby, and Pops are being pummeled by the wrestlers at the ring. But then Pops gets his back fixed, and proceeds to show them his skills firsthand.
8* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: When Pops shows up at the wrestling stadium, he asks two bodyguards if they can help carry them to the place. The two men think that this is part of his main entrance (as they mistook him for wrestler Huge Head).
9* TheEndOrIsIt: Huge Head is not happy about Pops unintentionally stealing his place and plans to steal Pops' identity as revenge.
10* EvilLaugh: Huge Head does this at the end of the episode as he plans to take over Pops' life.
11* ExactWords:
12** Really Real Wrestling is indeed about real wrestling and the wrestlers will literally beat that into you if you say so otherwise.
13** Pops says he cannot tell a lie, before covering for Mordecai and Rigby with a story that is almost entirely true, and is worded in a way that leaves out what wasn't.
14* GlassesPull: A show that Mordecai and Rigby are watching at the beginning of the episode has a cop do this trope.
15* {{Irony}}: What move did Pops used to take down the Fireman wrestler? A "fireman's carry."
16* LetsGetDangerous: As soon as Pops' back gets unintentionally fixed by one of the wrestlers, he gets back onto his feet, utters a badass one-liner, and completely curb-stomps the other wrestlers.
17* LooseLips: Mordecai and Rigby get in trouble with the wrestlers because Pops stupidly tells Four-Armageddon that the two called wrestling "fake".
18* MisplacedRetribution: Benson fires Mordecai and Rigby on the spot when they and Pops get back to the house, despite Pops being the one to sneak out first and buying himself and the two their tickets in the first place. Even when Pops admits it was his idea (not to mention his back got ''healed'' in the process) and the firing is taken back, Benson ''still'' tells Mordecai and Rigby it's "[their] last warning" as if they were the ones in the wrong and doesn't acknowledge Pops' own irresponsible behavior.
19* MistakenIdentity: The plot kicks off when Pops gets mistaken for the wrestler Huge Head.
20* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Pops lets out one when he gets his back fixed and prepares to wipe the floor with the other wrestlers.
21-->'''Pops:''' Who wants to wrestle?
22* ProWrestlingIsReal: Mordecai and Rigby's comments on wrestling being fake comes to bite them when this infuriates the ''real'' wrestlers, who then forced the two in a ladder match. This leads to Pops saving them and winning the golden championship belt.
23* SleepingDummy: Pops puts a stuffed animal that looks like his round head in his bed and lays the sheets over it, making it look as though he's asleep, when really he's sneaking off to the match.
24* StalkerShot: Pop is [[MistakenIdentity mistaken for the wrestler Huge Head]] and takes his place in the match. After winning the match and they return to the House, the camera cuts to the bushes by the House where Huge Head's head emerges from the bushes and he's not happy about Pops unintentionally stealing his place and plans to steal Pops' identity as revenge. It goes nowhere until "[[Recap/RegularShowS06E22MenInUniform Men in Uniform]]".
25* WhoWritesThisCrap: Mordecai says this after the lame joke from the cop show.
26-->'''Mordecai:''' Boo. Who writes this stuff?
