If your opponent is unconscious, pin him instead of taunting the crowd.

If you are in the ring looking out at someone or something in the entrance ramp area, take a glance at the Titantron to see if anyone is behind you before turning around.

Don't be the first man to set up a ladder in MITB, let someone else do it and get swarmed.

If you're at the top of the ladder and someone grabs your leg, ignore that fucker and GET THE TITLE

Also, don't climb up a few steps and reach for it, then climb a few more and reach again. Climb until your about 2-3 step from the top, you'll be up high enough to unhook it and win.

If you're in an Elimination Chamber match and your pod busts open before you're supposed to come out, just go ahead and enter the match. Your co-workers will love it when you wander around the ring and screw up their planned spots.

If you are going for a top rope move and it takes longer than three seconds you probably should have just tried to pin the guy. If you hit the top rope move then he was stunned for waaay longer than you needed to win. If he reverses it then you just lost the match dummy.

Never punch your opponent more than three times. Your fourth punch will be blocked. Than you'll get punched three times. Also unless one of your signature moves is a fancy punch don't waste your time trying to pin someone with it. Punches only stun and never cause real damage.

Henry would have looked like a fool if he just stayed obediently in his broken pod, though. All they really needed to do was eat a few World's Strongest Slams, take Henry out with a superkick or something, and continue as planned.

If you want your punches to have more power, come up with a little dance or pose to do about 3/4 punches in. The final punch will then be devastating and knock the opponent to the floor, which the others didn't do.

Nah, the referee should've directed him to an already empty pod and locked him back in. Henry would look mad about it but he can't hurt the ref. Problem solved.

Corollary: If you do this anyway and they're taking an inordinate amount of time coming back, they're likely doing an elaborate taunt before a signature move and you should probably just hit them instead.

If you're defending your title, just walk out of the ring and leave. You'll be counted out, but you'll keep the belt.

Generally this usually leads to a stip where there are no countouts so uh, probably not the best lesson to learn.
