-	~~\|[[Image:Boliver Turnbuckle.png\|175px\|"Of course, they wanted me to be one of those lame masked wrestlers at first, but I had gimmickier plans."]]~~	+
-	\| '''Sir Boliver Turnbuckle''' was Strong Bad's first wrestling gimmick. As Turnbuckle, Strong Bad wears a crown and a singlet with a crown on it to portray "a pompous Brit" {{--}} a ''premium'' gimmick at the time, [[History according to Strong Bad\|according to Strong Bad]]. Billed as the "Master of the {{w\|Nelson hold\|1/8th Nelson}}" (simply grabbing his opponent), the Nelson was Turnbuckle's signature move. Sir Boliver Turnbuckle is only seen in black-and-white photographs.	+
-	~~Strong Bad abandoned this gimmick in favor of il Cartographer after he became more popular.~~	+
-	\|The "Ruthless Ruler" is a common type of wrestling gimmick where a wrestler takes on an imperial or royal role. Prominent examples of wrestlers themed around British royalty include {{w\|Darren Matthews\|"Lord" Steven Regal}}, {{w\|Dave Taylor (wrestler)\|"Squire" Dave Taylor}} and {{w\|Bobby Eaton\|"Earl" Bobby Eaton}}. \|\| [[yes, wrestling]]	+
-	~~\|-id="Il Cartographer"~~	+
-	~~\|[[Image:Cartographer.png\|175px\|"I claim-a this saggy ring in the name of il Cartographer!"]]\|\|~~	+
-	'''Il Cartographer''' was Strong Bad's second wrestling incarnation. Italian for "the mapmaker", his name uses an [[integral article]] (he is occasionally referred to as "the Il Cartographer", meaning "[[Redundancy\|the the]]"). Hailing from {{w\|Age of Discovery\|the Age of Exploration}} and billed as "The Namer of Nations", Il Cartographer is styled after a 15th-17th century Italian navigator: he wears a floppy orange [[beret]], a frilly white shirt, and a brown vest, and talks in an Italian accent. His gimmicks include throwing maps to the restrooms into the crowd (labelled "Ye Olde Restroom Trail") while approaching the ring, then raising a flag reading "the il-est" to {{w\|Italy and the colonization of the Americas\|claim the ring}} in his name. He also has his own wrestling theme, mostly consisting of his name repeated by high-pitched singers.	+
-		+
-	According to Strong Bad in [[Fan Costumes 2017]], he won the Continental [[Breakfast]] title belt in front of a depressing basement wall with some sheets taped to it, a venue he used to wrestle in. At this point, he was enemies with [[Homestar Runner]] (or his wrestling alter ego, the Jack 'Em Up Kid). Homestar calls him "el Photographer" and [[I really like your costume\|mixes up his costume]] with Rudy from ''[[Bill Cosby\|Fat Albert]]''.	+
-	\|	+
-	~~\| [[yes, wrestling]], [[Fan Costumes 2017]] (costume; mentioned)~~	+
-	~~\|-id="Jack 'Em Up Kid"~~	+
-	~~\|[[Image:Jack Em Up Kid.png\|175px\|"Hoo yeah!"]]\|\|~~	+
-	The '''[[X 'em up\|Jack 'Em Up]] Kid''' was Homestar Runner's wrestling alter ego. His red pants (reading "'EM UP!" on the back) are pulled up to his chest, which has [[cinnamon]] stubble on it, and [[Homestar Runner's Hat\|his hat]] has no propeller. He has white kneepads and shoes. His tag team partner is '''Gary the Legend''', an imaginary figure.	+
-		+
-	~~When {{w\|Glossary of professional wrestling terms~~#promo\|cutting a promo}}, the Jack 'Em Up Kid talks extremely quickly, frequently leaning to the camera and exclaiming "Hoo yeah!", and constantly running out of breath and inhaling quickly in between words. He refers to his fans as "Jack 'Emites" and "Jack 'Emettes", offering much licensed merchandise.	+
-	\|	+
-	*Many elements of this persona are similar to {{w\|Hulk Hogan}}:	+
-	**He ends the promo with "What you gone did when you get jacked up by the Jack 'Em Up Kid?", a twist of Hogan's famous interview-ending [[~~catch phrase]], "Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?!"~~	+
-	**In addition, beginning "Well you know, announcer man..." is similar to Hogan's famous interview opening, "Well ya know something, {{w\|Gene Okerlund\|Mean Gene}}..."	+
-	**Fans are called Jack 'Emites and Jack 'Emettes similarly to Hogan's "Hulkamaniacs".	+
-	*His costume and name resemble that of veteran pro-wrestler Shawn Michaels, {{w\|Shawn Michaels\|the Heartbreak Kid}}.	+
-	*His frequent use of the phrase "Hoo yeah!" is a reference to {{w\|Randy Savage\|Macho Man Randy Savage}}, whose famous catchphrase was "Oooh yeah!"	+
-	*Gary the Legend's name is similar to wrestler and commentator {{w\|Larry Zbyszko\|Larry the Legend}}.	+
-	~~\| [[yes, wrestling]], [[Sketchbook 2007#SK-2007-11-29\|Sketchbook for November 29, 2007]], [[Homestar Ruiner]] (mentioned)~~	+
-	~~\|-id="Wild Vacationers"~~	+
-	~~\|[[Image:WildVacationers.png\|175px\|"Nothing can stop the Wild Vacationers!"]]~~	+
-	\|The '''Wild Vacationers''' was Strong Bad and Strong Mad's first wrestling team. They are dressed like tourists with fishing hats and cameras. Strong Mad wears a purple Hawaiian shirt, while Strong Bad wears a pair of [[Cool Shades\|sunglasses]] and sunscreen smeared over his [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Strong Bad's Nose\|seemingly nonexistent nose]].	+
-		+
-	~~Deemed a "misfire", the Brothers Strong moved on to several other gimmicks.~~	+
-	~~\|The team is a reference to the {{w\|Wild Samoans}} tag team who were managed by {{w\|Lou Albano\|Captain Lou Albano}}, who would often wear a Hawaiian shirt to the ring.~~	+
-	~~\|rowspan=4\| [[yes, wrestling]]~~	+
-	~~\|-id="Foreign Object Bros."~~	+
-	~~\|[[Image:ForeignObjectBros.png\|175px\|"You betta not mess with the Foreign Object Brothers!"]]~~	+
-	\| The '''Foreign Object Bros.''' was Strong Bad and Strong Mad's second wrestling team. Strong Bad is wearing a black headband with a [[big knife]] tucked into it, and his pants have a wooden board, a wrench, and one other unidentifiable white object in them. Strong Mad has a razor blade lodged in his bleeding and apparently scarred forehead, a sledgehammer tucked into his black singlet, and the outline of a gun fully inside his singlet. A chainsaw blade can be seen behind him.	+
-	~~\|Strong Mad's sledgehammer is a reference to {{w\|Triple H}}, who used a sledgehammer as a trademark weapon.~~	+
-		+
-	The razor blade lodged in Strong Mad's forehead references {{w\|Blading (professional wrestling)\|blading}}, the method that professional wrestlers use to make themselves bleed mid-match. Blading involves using a razor blade like Strong Mad's to surreptitiously cut oneself mid-match so that nobody notices that the cut is self-inflicted. Many older wrestlers have noticeable scar tissue on their forehead (much like Strong Mad does in the clip) from blading hundreds of times in their careers.	+
-	~~\|-id="The Sanctum of Spiky Shoulder Pads"~~	+
-	~~\|[[Image:SpikyShoulderPads.png\|175px\|"Rax and Arby: The Sanctum of Spiky Shoulder Pads."]]\|\|~~	+
-	~~{{redirects\|Arby}} {{for\|restaurant chain\|Arby's}}~~	+
-	'''Rax''' and '''Arby''', the '''Sanctum of Spiky Shoulder Pads''', was Strong Bad and Strong Mad's third wrestling team. As the name implies, they wear spiky shoulder pads. Strong Mad's singlet is red and has "RAX" written on it, and Strong Bad wears a green mohawk.	+
-	\|Their names refer to restaurants [[Arby's]] and {{w\|Rax (restaurant)\|Rax}}, both of which specialize in roast beef sandwiches. In an [[Easter egg]], Rax can be seen an interview with the Announcer, in which he adds "beef and cheddar, five for five", a reference to a combo offered at Arby's namesake restaurant.	+
-	~~Visually, the team references the {{w\|Road Warriors}} tag team (also known as the Legion of Doom), who became famous for their shoulder pads covered in spikes.~~	+
-	~~\|-id="Facepaint Connection"~~	+
-	\|[[Image:FacepaintConnection.png\|175px\|"You better hope for your guts and your mercy can save you at this Sunday's PayPerViewver Series."]]\|\| The '''Facepaint Connection''' were Strong Bad and Strong Mad's fourth wrestling team, as well as the one that they finally settled on. They wear heavy, ornately patterned facepaint in white, blue, red, and gray; and Strong Mad's singlet reads "FACEPAINT CONNECTION". In a memorable promo, Strong Bad recounts climbing the mountains to breathe "the facepainted fumes" as a sign of his dedication to win the title.	+
-		+
-	~~The duo was managed by "the insidious" Mr. Cheatayama.~~	+
-	~~\|The facepaint is a reference to {{w\|Blade Runners (wrestling)\|The Blade Runners}} tag team; the duo are better known individually as {{w\|Sting (wrestler)\|Sting}} and {{w\|The Ultimate Warrior}}.~~	+
-	~~\|-id="Mr. Cheatayama"~~	+
-	\|[[Image:Cheatyama.png\|175px\|"Mr. Cheatayama with his trademark whisk!"]]\|\| The insidious '''Mr. Cheatayama''' {{w\|Manager (professional wrestling)\|manages}} the Facepaint Connection tag team. To portray Cheatayama, [[The Cheat]] dons a painted-on [[mustache]] and goatee, a black [[bowler hat]], and a "trademark whisk".	+
-	~~\|He is based on famous wrestling manager {{w\|Mr. Fuji}}. \|\| [[yes, wrestling]], [[Fan Costumes 2017]] (costume; mentioned)~~	+
-	~~\|-id="Gardenboy"~~	+
-	~~\|[[Image:Gardenboy.png\|175px\|"All right, all you gophers out there, ha-bring-it-on!"]]\|\|~~	+
-	'''Gardenboy''' is Strong Sad's wrestling identity. He has a red rake, straw hat, and a green watering can that can spout flames. He refers to all of his opponents as gophers. He has his own wrestling theme, based on Il Cartographer's. (The singers even accidentally say "Il Cartographer" at one point.) Later on, the Magnificent Marzipan steals his garden tools. Instead of gophers, he later asks to fight half woman-half man's champions instead.	+
-		+
-	He was named after the sender of the email [[yes, wrestling]], after Strong Bad suggests to the sender to "stop trying to perfect the Summer Squash Suplex" and get "a rake, a straw hat, maybe a watering can and start screaming about how your opponents are gophers".	+
-	~~\|His flame-throwing watering can is a reference to TNA wrestler/booker/owner {{w\|Jeff Jarrett}}, who often makes his entrance holding a pyro-spewing guitar over his head.~~	+

-	\| The '''Magnificent Marzipan''' is mentioned by Gardenboy in a [[hremail 3184]] Easter egg. She stole all Gardenboy's garden tools, lending them to Strong Bad so he can beat up Homestar. Gardenboy implies she is a women's champion wrestler.	+

-	~~It is unknown if this is [[Marzipan]]'s real wrestling gimmick or just a nickname given to her by Gardenboy.~~	+

In the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[yes, wrestling]], [[Strong Bad]] reveals his old '''[[professional wrestling]] [[alter egos]]''', and some other characters' personas as well.

|-id="Sir Boliver Turnbuckle"
|[[Image:Boliver Turnbuckle.png|175px|"Of course, they wanted me to be one of those lame masked wrestlers at first, but I had gimmickier plans."]]|| '''Sir Boliver Turnbuckle''' was Strong Bad's first wrestling gimmick. His signature move was the 1/8th Nelson, which he was known as the master of. The 1/8th Nelson doesn't seem to have much effect, as it appears to be simply grabbing the opponent. He can be seen demostrating it on [[Strong Sad]]. He wears a crown and a singlet with a crown on it, and is described by Strong Bad as a "pompous Brit". According to Strong Bad, that was back in the days when pretending to be a pompous Brit was considered a ''premium'' gimmick. Strong Bad abandoned this gimmick in favor of il Cartographer after he became more popular. Sir Boliver Turnbuckle is only seen in black-and-white photographs. He is a reference to wrestlers such as [[Wikipedia:Darren Matthews|"Lord" Steven Regal]], [[Wikipedia:Dave Taylor (wrestler)|"Squire" Dave Taylor]] and [[Wikipedia:Bobby Eaton|"Earl" Bobby Eaton]], as well as a reference to other wrestlers who falsify their claim to British royalty. || [[yes, wrestling]]
|-id="Il Cartographer"
|[[Image:Cartographer.png|175px|"I claim-a this saggy ring in the name of il Cartographer!"]]||
'''Il Cartographer''' (meaning "the mapmaker") was Strong Bad's second wrestling incarnation. He wears a floppy orange [[beret]], a frilly white shirt, and a brown vest, and talks in an Italian accent. One of his gimmicks was that he'd always come into the ring throwing maps to the restrooms into the crowd (labelled "Ye Olde Restroom Trail"). At least once, he would claim the ring with a flag reading "the il-est". He also has his own wrestling theme, mostly consisting of his name. [[The Announcer]] says that he hails from the age of exploration, and is the namer of nations.

According to Strong Bad in [[Fan Costumes 2017]], he won the Continental [[Breakfast]] title belt in front of a depressing basement wall with some sheets taped to it, a venue he used to wrestle in. At this point, he was enemies with [[Homestar Runner]] (or his wrestling alter ego, the Jack 'Em Up Kid). Homestar calls him "el Photographer" and [[I really like your costume|mixes up his costume]] with Rudy from [[Bill Cosby|Fat Albert]]. His name uses an [[integral article]], as the singers sometimes call him "the Il Cartographer" (meaning "[[Redundancy|the the]]").
|| [[yes, wrestling]], [[Fan Costumes 2017]] (costume; mentioned)
|-id="Jack 'Em Up Kid"
|[[Image:Jack Em Up Kid.png|175px|"Hoo yeah!"]]||
The '''[[X 'em up|Jack 'Em Up]] Kid''' was Homestar Runner's wrestling alter ego. His red pants (reading "'EM UP!" on the back) are pulled up to his chest, which has [[cinnamon]] stubble on it, and his hat has no propeller. He has white kneepads and shoes. He talks extremely fast, frequently leaning to the camera and saying "Hoo yeah!", and constantly running out of breath and inhaling quickly in between words. He refers to his fans as "Jack 'Emites" and "Jack 'Emettes" and he has licensed merchandise. His imaginary tag team partner is named Gary the Legend.

His [[catch phrase]] may be "What you gone did when you get jacked up by the Jack 'Em Up Kid?", a twist of [[Wikipedia:Hulk Hogan|Hulk Hogan]]'s famous interview-ending catchphrase, "Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?!" In addition, beginning "Well you know, announcer man..." is similar to Hogan's famous interview opening, "Well ya know something, Mean Gene...", addressed to long-time wrestling personality [[Wikipedia:Gene Okerlund|"Mean" Gene Okerlund]]. Homestar also talks about his Jackemites, similar to the Hogan's hulkamaniacs.

His frequent use of the phrase "Hoo yeah!" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Randy Savage|Macho Man Randy Savage]], whose famous catchphrase was "Oooh yeah!" Gary the Legend's name is similar to wrestler and commentator [[Wikipedia:Larry Zbyszko|Larry the Legend]].
|| [[yes, wrestling]], [[Sketchbook 2007#SK-2007-11-29|Sketchbook for November 29, 2007]], [[Homestar Ruiner]] (mentioned)
|-id="Wild Vacationers"
|[[Image:WildVacationers.png|175px|"Nothing can stop the Wild Vacationers!"]]|| The '''Wild Vacationers''' was Strong Bad and Strong Mad's first wrestling team. They are dressed like tourists with fishing hats and cameras. Strong Mad wears a purple Hawaiian shirt, while Strong Bad wears a pair of [[Cool Shades|sunglasses]] and sunscreen smeared over his [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Strong Bad's Nose|seemingly nonexistent nose]]. It was deemed a "misfire", so Strong Bad and Strong Mad tried several other teams. The team is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Wild Samoans|Wild Samoans]] tag team who were managed by [[Wikipedia:Lou Albano|Captain Lou Albano]], who would often wear a Hawaiian shirt to the ring. || [[yes, wrestling]]
|-id="Foreign Object Bros."
|[[Image:ForeignObjectBros.png|175px|"You betta not mess with the Foreign Object Brothers!"]]|| The '''Foreign Object Bros.''' was Strong Bad and Strong Mad's second wrestling team. Strong Bad is wearing a black headband with a [[big knife]] tucked into it, and his pants have a wooden board, a wrench, and one other unidentifiable white object in them. Strong Mad has a razor blade lodged in his bleeding and apparently scarred forehead, a sledgehammer tucked into his black singlet, and the outline of a gun fully inside his singlet. A chainsaw blade can be seen behind him. Strong Mad's sledgehammer is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Triple H|Triple H]], who uses a hammer as a trademark foreign object. The razor blade lodged in Strong Mad's forehead references [[Wikipedia:Blading (professional wrestling)|blading]], the method that professional wrestlers use to make themselves bleed mid-match. Blading involves using a razor blade like Strong Mad's to surreptitiously cut oneself mid-match so that nobody notices that the cut is self-inflicted. Many older wrestlers have noticeable scar tissue on their forehead (much like Strong Mad does in the clip) from blading hundreds of times in their careers. || [[yes, wrestling]]
|-id="The Sanctum of Spiky Shoulder Pads"
|[[Image:SpikyShoulderPads.png|175px|"Rax and Arby: The Sanctum of Spiky Shoulder Pads."]]||
{{redirects|Arby}} {{for|restaurant chain|Arby's}}
'''Rax''' and '''Arby''', the '''Sanctum of Spiky Shoulder Pads''', was Strong Bad and Strong Mad's third wrestling team. As the name implies, they wear spiky shoulder pads. Strong Mad's singlet is red and has "RAX" written on it, and Strong Bad wears a green mohawk. Their names refer to restaurants [[Arby's]] and [[Wikipedia:Rax (restaurant)|Rax]], both of which specialize in roast beef sandwiches. In an [[Easter egg]], Rax can be seen an interview with the Announcer, in which he adds "beef and cheddar, five for five", a reference to Arby's namesake restaurant. The team is also referencing the [[Wikipedia:Road Warriors|Road Warriors]] tag team (also known as the Legion of Doom), who became famous for their shoulder pads covered in spikes.
|| [[yes, wrestling]]
|-id="Facepaint Connection"
|[[Image:FacepaintConnection.png|175px|"You better hope for your guts and your mercy can save you at this Sunday's PayPerViewver Series."]]|| The '''Facepaint Connection''' were Strong Bad and Strong Mad's fourth wrestling team, as well as the one that they finally settled on. They wear heavy white, blue, red, and gray facepaint, and Strong Mad's singlet reads "FACEPAINT CONNECTION". They are seemingly managed by the insidious Mr. Cheatayama. Strong Bad claims to have climbed the mountains and breathed the facepainted fumes, and he won't let the Jack 'Em Up Kid and Gary the Legend walk away with the title. After he's done talking, he frantically asks to be taken off the air. The facepaint is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Blade Runners|Blade Runners]], a tag team in Bill Watts' old [[Wikipedia:Universal Wrestling Federation (Bill Watts)|UWF]]. || [[yes, wrestling]]
|-id="Mr. Cheatayama"
|[[Image:Cheatyama.png|175px|"Mr. Cheatayama with his trademark whisk!"]]|| The insidious '''Mr. Cheatayama''' seems to be the manager of Facepaint Connection. He is [[The Cheat]] with a painted-on [[mustache]] and goatee, a black [[bowler hat]], and holding "his trademark whisk". He is based on famous wrestling manager [[Wikipedia:Harry Fujiwara|Mr. Fuji]]. || [[yes, wrestling]], [[Fan Costumes 2017]] (costume; mentioned)
|-id="Gardenboy"
|[[Image:Gardenboy.png|175px|"All right, all you gophers out there, ha-bring-it-on!"]]||
'''Gardenboy''' is Strong Sad's wrestling identity. He has a red rake, straw hat, and a green watering can that can spout flames. He refers to all of his opponents as gophers. He has his own wrestling theme, based on Il Cartographer's. (The singers even accidentally say "Il Cartographer" at one point.) Later on, the Magnificent Marzipan steals his garden tools. Instead of gophers, he later asks to fight half woman-half man's champions instead.

He was named after the sender of the email [[yes, wrestling]], after Strong Bad suggests to the sender to "stop trying to perfect the Summer Squash Suplex" and get "a rake, a straw hat, maybe a watering can and start screaming about how your opponents are gophers". His flame-throwing watering can is a reference to TNA wrestler/booker/owner [[Wikipedia:Jeff Jarrett|Jeff Jarrett]], who often makes his entrance holding a pyro-spewing guitar over his head.
