Did that gesture come from wrestling? I honestly thought it came from nowhere all of a sudden.

Yep. Basically a group of friends were wrestlers, and backstage they’d act like teenagers and do that gesture, and tell their coworkers to suck it. This at a time where on tv it was a kids a show. You had evil plumbers, and evil dentists, and whatever the hell the bushwackers were supposed to be. And then these group of friends convinced their boss to do these adult gestures on tv. It would be like if the power rangers one day just had Jason say to Tommy “Yo, suck my dick, Green Ranger!” Just out of nowhere. And suddenly you had teenagers who found it funny doing it everywhere. Eventually it became pop culture. Now people who have no idea what it came from were doing it, because everyone wants to tell others to suck it.
