If you were a major success and well over in WCW, ECW or TNA (Booker T., Rob Van Dam, Christian), expect an harder path to regain similar success in WWE. However if you were deemed misused in WCW, ECW or TNA (Steve Austin, Chris Jericho) your chances of getting used in and risen up the WWE ladder more quickly are greatly improved.

If you're Irish in WWE, you tend to have success. Perhaps it's the luck of the Irish?

10 minutes of flexing is Hulk Hogan's version of a victory dance.

A knife edge chop should always be followed with a "woooooo".

The WWE management must resolve all labour disputes in the ring. If a wrestler assaults, shows contempt for or vandalizes the property of someone in upper management, the proper protocol is to send other wrestlers to defeat and/or humiliate him publicly. Firing, legal action or other traditional means of discipline are strongly discouraged in such situations.

Ringing a bell repeatedly will do little to calm a chaotic situation in the ring, however it is mandatory that it be done.

Managers only seem to manage heels for some odd reason. 

Tag ropes pretty much serve only as a choking weapon.

If the wind blows, Ric Flair bleeds from his forehead.  If he sneezes, blood squirts out of his hairline. 

No matter what happens, Ric Flair must never successfully complete a maneuver from the top rope.  He must be flipped off of it. 

Ric Flair must need protection for his shins, as his kneepads almost always cover his shins, not his knees.

If you p**s off your former employer/competitor, it's fair game to have said employer mock you at every opportunity (The Huckster, Nacho Man, Midget Bret Hart/Montreal, etc.).  Also, if you leave and then come back, good chance you'll be given a crap storyline (Shawn Stasiak left, comes back, and is deemed 'clumsy and insane', running into things and losing every match), or if you p**s off said employer, you'll get an equally insane storyline (Saturn going berserk on some jobber, legitimately hurts him, then gets stuck talking to a mop and uttering such phrases as "Doggies eat apple sauce to protect the environment.  You're welcome!").

If you appear out of character in public and /or interact in a friendly manner with an on-screen adversary, you'll likely be in the doghouse with the company (especially true of the kayfabe era).

Tapping the mat is now a submission but in the old days, it was used to drum up support from the crowd and a wrestler had to actually say "I Quit" to a referee for it to be a submission.

Lunatics (George "The Animal" Steele, Noman the Lunatic, Festus, Crazy Luke Graham, Jason the Terrible) are quite common in wrestling and are frequently let loose in the ring.

In modern-era wrestling, anyone seemingly can face anyone else on any given night. Doesn't matter if you're a diva, referee, retired or semi-retired wrestler or announcer, if you're in the arena, there's a chance and you work for WWE or TNA you could very well find yourself in a match which could be thrown together on the spur of the moment.
