Use your head -- on his nose.
If you don't have room to throw an elbow, use your head. "The top of your head is very thick, where your hairline would be. If you lean forward exceptionally fast and make contact with the bridge of a guy's nose with the top of your forehead, you're going to do some serious damage." And accuracy is not even that important, Triple H says. "Did you see the Holyfield-Rahman fight?" he asks. "Even if you miss their nose and hit them in the eye, that's a quick way to make a guy look like the elephant man."

Fists don't work as well as you think.
Remember the story of the German fan who jumped in the ring? In that melee, Triple H broke his knuckle. "The head tends to be harder than your hand," he says. "That's why boxers break hands."

Travel with friends who know the rules.
Make sure your friends are clear of the rules of the fight. Says Triple H: "The rules are: If I'm winning, let it go. If the guy flips me over and he gets on top, pull him off."

You can never knock a guy out too much.
When you knock somebody out, give him something to remember you by. "Kick him in the nuts as you walk by," Triple H says. "I don't want the guy to think the next time he's got a chance. I want to knock him out and hurt him a little bit, so he thinks, 'I don't want to mess with that guy anymore.' Add insult to injury."

Think Hollywood after the fight.
All pro wrestlers know how to humiliate a beaten opponent with words or actions. Just wait for the showboating until after the guy is down for the count. And then? "If you've seen me wrestle," Triple H says, "I would get a large beverage and spit it on the guy." If no beverage is handy, spit out a good one-liner. "I got a lot of mileage out of 'Suck on that, bitch,'" Triple H says. "When you knock a guy out, that's always a good one."
