Let's do some "I don't always XYZ, but when I do...." but for wrestling

[Hammerlock3]

"I don't always get poked in the eye, but when I do I immediately abandon all semblance of toughness and freak out."

[flyingcement]

The eye poke thing has become the flop in basketball and soccer for sure.

[Hammerlock3]

More of a freestyle thing...

"I don't always drag the action out it bounds, but when I do its by tapping the hardwood with my pinky after a long useless pause with a bored look on my face."

[Tigerfan]

I don’t always give all glory to god, but when I do….never mind, I always do it.

I don't always bet on wrestling

But when I lose

I prefer to welsh on the deal

Keep betting my friends

I don’t always interlock fingers, but when I do, I shake my hand like crazy to make the ref think it’s the other guy.

I don't always throw chairs but when I do...

I don't always sit in front of the TV for 72 hours straight, but when I do...

Great tactic!

[MidniteToka]

I don't always call for stalling, but when... Oh wait, I guess I do.

[Eagle26]

I don’t always take my shoes off when I’m coaching, but when I do…

[D3 for LU]

I don't always see a wrestler come rushing onto the center of the mat and smack his face three times hard...

but when I do, I say "Thanks... I needed that!"

 

( That actually happened w/ yours truly when I wrestled in HS in the early seventies. The guy ran up to the center mat, smacked his face hard 3 times... I said "thanks I needed that." the ref blew the whistle , and that S.O.B. took me down right to my back! I DId recover to win 9-6... I learned then, to keep my mouth SHUT after that bout!     I think that smacking bit was from a Mennen Skin Bracer aftershave commercial. )

I don't always wear sweatpants, but when I do, I tuck them into my socks.

...I look like an absolute crack head zombie when i do.

[Gus]

I don’t always grab ahold of a leg from the top position on the edge of the mat in a stalling position but when I do I wait for the ref to count to 4 before I swisher my feet out of bounds to avoid a stalling call and get a restart. 

[Hammerlock3]

I don't always call stalling when someone backs out of bounds, but when I do its entirely dependent on the score....

[Formally140]

I don't ever tell my kids to take twirly birds, but I do "ask about the score" "and if there was a caution" and make sure to take my time going back to the corner

[Hurricane Wrestling]

I don't always think criticizing the Brands brothers is warranted, but I enjoy doing it nonetheless.

[wrestle87]

I don't always tape my wrists and ankles, but when I do, I also pull the drawstring on my hoodie real tight.

I don't always sweat in buckets from my wrists, waist, and ankles, but when I do, I make sure no opposing coaches are anywhere nearby.

I don't always signal to my mother that I'm having a bad weight cut....oh wait yes I do...bad or not.

[BloodRound]

I don't always get a takedown, but when I do, I stall my way to a 2-1 win.
