For many young wrestling fans growing up, their life dream will be making it one day to WWE.

The biggest wrestling promotion in the world, the Sports Entertainment juggernaut has played host to some of the biggest stars ever, such as Hulk Hogan, John Cena, The Rock, and The Undertaker.

So for those who do make it to WWE, being a part of the company must be like a dream come true.

However, getting there is just half the battle, as Superstars are expected to follow a lot of rules behind the scenes.

Some of these rules are instructed by the company, though there are plenty more that have been formed from decades of Superstar's establishing what it takes to be part of the roster.

Here are five shocking backstage traditions in WWE, that every Superstar is expected to follow.


#5. Keep your title hidden

There can be fewer feelings better as a wrestler, than becoming a champion in WWE.

Not only is it a symbol of the company's trust in you, but it also means your name will live on in the history books long after you've hung up the boots.

But backstage, Superstars are advised to keep their title wearing to a minimum.

This is a lesson in humility, as nobody wants someone to be bragging about their huge win, especially to stars lower down on the card.

The Big Show learned this lesson the hard way when he appeared at an airport in the 1990s as the WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

Taken aside by Hulk Hogan, Show was advised to keep the title hidden, as much like backstage, wearing the title in a public place seems like showing off.
