Superstar hand jive: 15 hand signals that'll get you places

Vader’s “V”

It wasn’t intimidating enough for Vader to simply wear a steam-shooting, black-metallic mastodon mask when he first arrived in WCW in the early 1990s. The butt-kicking super heavyweight decided to up the fear factor by adding a trademark hand signal to the whole Vader package, as well. Ironically, the namesake of the “Star Wars” super villain chose a “V”-shaped signal that bore an undeniable likeness to the Vulcan salute popularized on “Star Trek.” Whether anyone’s dared to mention this incongruity to The Mastodon is unclear.
