Breath.
Why do wrestlers always chew gum on their way to the ring?
<-- You know the drill
I honestly don't know why I'm asking, I just kind of realised it in the middle of some old matches. I mean, is there any reason for chewing gum on your way to a wrestling match. Is it supposed to play on the term 'walk and chewing gum'?. I dunno, I just wanted to let that out

I always wondered why too. I thought it might be an old school trick to hide the fact that they were calling moves in the ring, that way people would think they were just chewing gum.
Also the one I see most often is Triple H. He is almost always chewing gum when coming down for a match.

Hellz yah. Nothing says "total badass" quite like bubblegum:agree:
well bball players have been known to chew gum because they didnt want to stick out their tongue and bite down on accident, i know that was micheal jordan's reason. i dont know if its true, but maybe wrestlers feel that way with all the running around and grappling

Chewing Gum keeps your mouth salivated, thus leading to smoother delivery whilst speaking. Some Wrestlers use it as an aid to help them deliver clear and concise promos and it just becomes something they do to help them get into character.(Also it looks cool when a Wrestler spits it out forcefully during a particulary awesome punch!)

To release nervous tension and to help keep their mouths from drying out under the strain, I would imagine.
Force of habit, another reason.
I think they look less ridiculous chewing gum than they do jawing a whole lot of nothing on their way to the ring.
No one can hear anything that they say, and yet they go on jawing and jawing as if they are carrying on a conversation or having an argument with someone.
HBK was pretty bad for that, and Delrio does it all the time too.
