Did anyone catch the St.Louis Rams game. James Laurinitas made a sack and did the Hogan flex. It was great.

That's definitely awesome. Considering that his father is Road Warrior Animal, I'm sure he has a healthy respect, if not admiration, for a lot of the wrestlers from his dad's prime. Another cool thing I remember, I'm pretty sure it was either 2000 or 2001, and I think it was Terrell Owens that did it (not sure though), but there was a player who did the spinaroonie after a TD followed by that little stare Booker T always did at his hand afterward.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was TO. He seems like the kind of guy that'd do that

He definitely seems the type. And he's always been open about being a fan of pro wrestling.

Please allow me to give my infinite wisdom on this matter.

UPITS...that is an awesome pic....however it should be an Ohio State helmet. GO BLUE!!!! as for the football celebrations....a LOT of football players use a wrestlers "taunt" as their celebration. It was done in 2004 when Shawn Merriman used Razor Ramon's fist pump to himself pose (with a lil change of course) as well as the late 90's when players were using the Undertaker throat slice (which has since been made illegal). The crossover appeal to a lot of players is tremendous. Hell, John Cena's "You can't see me" handwave is used in basketball all the time. Ron Artest, Derrick Rose and Chris Paul are just a few players who do it. Have a nice day.
