1* This happens to many promotions who join the Wrestling/{{N|ationalWrestlingAlliance}}WA (or similar groups) (SWA to NWA SWA National Wrestling Alliance Scottish Wrestling Alliance?) but some promotions that were NWA members from the start still don't avoid it. Championship Wrestling From Hollywood had the excuse of GrandFatherClause, being based on CWF Florida, which was one of those after the fact cases. Most, such as NWA Pro Wrestling, NWA Wrestling/{{WCW}} or NWA Wrestling/{{ECW}}, have none.
2* There was an episode of ''[[Wrestling/WWERaw Raw]]'' that aired in 1997 called "Thursday Raw Thursday".[[note]]''Raw'' was moved that week to Thursday because of a dog show. Apparently, the redundancy was due to Wrestling/VinceMcMahon or Creator/USANetwork really wanting to drive home the temporary change of schedule. [[/note]]
3* Wrestling/ChrisJericho proves to everyone that he's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_62-8LsVFE Man of 1004 Holds]], by [[LongList listing]] all the holds he knows.
4-->Hold #1: Arm Drag. Hold #2: Arm Bar. Hold #3: [[Literature/TheCatInTheHat The Moss Covered Three Handled Family Gredunza]]. Hold #4: Arm Bar. Hold #5: The Saskatchewan Spinning Nerve Hold. Hold #8: Arm Bar...\
5''(much later)'' Hold #264: Armbaaarrr!
6** Years later, he started [[LongList listing]] all the wrestlers he'd beaten, including a couple of different gimmicks used by the same guys.
7-->"...[[Wrestling/KevinNash Kevin Nash, Diesel, Oz]], [[Wrestling/ScottHall Scott Hall, Razor Ramon]]..."
8* Averted when the term "WWE Superstar" or "Diva" is used (as officially used by WWE to refer to its wrestlers). Saying "WWE wrestlers", however, would be lampshaded.
9* The [[ShoutOut two time,]] [[Wrestling/DiamondDallasPage two time]], All-American American American American American, Wrestling/JackSwagger!
10* "Uso", is the equivalent of "bro" or "sis" to two siblings of the same gender. Thus Wrestling/{{Rikishi}}'s twin sons going by the "Uso Brothers" name in FCW is this. Upon calling them up to the main roster, WWE suddenly averted this trope by calling them simply "Wrestling/TheUsos".
11* And then there's the infamous Promo of Michael [=McGillicutty=] at the end of ''Wrestling/{{WWE NXT}}'' Season 2
12-->'''[=McGillicutty=]:''' And starting this moment... from now... from this moment on... this will be the moment... starting now... of the Genesis... of [=McGillicutty=].
13* Intentionally invoked in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]], with Wrestling/ChristopherDaniels and Wrestling/FrankieKazarian declaring themselves (and demanding they be announced as) "the World Tag Team Champions of the World".
14* There's a reason why Wrestling/BrockLesnar had Wrestling/PaulHeyman for a mouth piece, as evidenced by one of his promos against Wrestling/JohnCena.
15-->'''[=Lesnar=]:''' This is real John. This is a real feeling that you're feeling, because I can feel it... I'm the reason you're feeling the way you're feeling right now John.
16* Wrestling/JeffJarrett [[http://vimeo.com/86575877 puts over Global Force Wrestling, his then-upcoming promotion,]] by mentioning his alliance with Wrestling/{{AAA}}, "the #1 Mexican wrestling promotion in Mexico".
17* When Wrestling/MichaelCole says, "Enzuigiri to the back of the head." The enzuigiri is a jumping kick to the back of the head, so he is basically saying, "Jumping kick to the back of the head to the back of the head."
18* WCW 1997: [[Wrestling/{{Kanyon}} Mortis]] and [[Wrestling/BryanClarke Wrath]] were called manager [[Wrestling/JamesMitchell James Vandenberg]]'s "rare oddities."
19* {{Wrestling/WWE}} once had a program called ''WWF Superstars of Wrestling'', which meant its full name was the ''World Wrestling Federation Superstars of Wrestling''. This was averted later on when the name of the program became ''WWF Superstars''.
20* Mid '90s WWF wrestler Timothy Well once went by the ring name of Rex King. Rex is Latin for king, meaning his ring name was essentially King King.
21* [[Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling AEW]] women's champion [[Wrestling/BrittBaker Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D.]], who in fact ''is'' a dentist outside the ring. "D.M.D." is the abbreviation of a Latin phrase that translates to "Doctor of Dental Medicine".
22* The match between Solo Sikoa and Boa at [[Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} NXT 2.0]] was a "No Disqualification Falls Count Anywhere Match", but Falls Count Anywhere matches are already no-DQ by default.
