Quotes

Dean: You remember Top Notch Wrestling?

Sam: Yeah. Those wrestling shows Dad took us to when we were kids.
Dean: Right. Came across an obituary last night. Larry "The Hangman" Lee died.
Sam: Oh no. Wasn't he-

Dean: He was Dad's favorite. Anytime that noose would come out, Dad would be on his feet. It was one of the few times I ever saw him actually saw him happy.
Dean: You know, when I was-when I was ten I got my first B&E 'borrowing' some family's pay-per-view so I could watch the cage match with you and Tower of Power.
Dean: You now they're having a memorial show tonight. I know you're itching to get back-

Sam: We should go to it.
Dean: Really?

Sam: Why not? The world is still gonna be screwed tomorrow, right?
Dean: You think about that. Town after town putting your ass on the line for next to nothing. No money, no glory. Wow.
Sam: You realize you just literally described our jobs.
Sam: What happened?
Dean: Mostly tequila. Cut with holy water. I bought drinks for all the wrestlers, and then they were all 'well you gotta drink too.' Man they could drink. Especially Rio. I think I heard my liver screaming at me.
Crowley: The Rod of Aaron. Created by God on the sixth day and given to Aaron brother of Moses. I knew it was powerful but had no idea it was a-

Simmons:' Hand of God. Can I touch it?
Crowley: With all due respect Simmons, I don't think you can handle my rod.

Lucifer: I bet I can. Is it just me or is it getting a little phallic in here?
Lucifer: You really thought you could double cross me? Me!? You know I invented the double, like literally.
Crowley: So this is what it feels like to be God. Not bad. Tingly.

Trivia & References

Beyond the Mat is a 1999 documentary about pro wrestling, it takes a look behind the scenes and life outside the ring of three wrestlers -- Mick Foley, Terry Funk and Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
Lucifer: Remember, ABC. Always be closing.
Lucifer: Alright. You're gonna look high, look low, far and wide. Search every warehouse, every farmhouse, every hen house, outhouse and doghouse.
Dean: Hello? FBI I got some questions. Bueller?
When Dean gets in the wrestling he first does a strut and screams "Woooo!" which is reminiscent of "Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Followed by climbing the ropes and yelling, "Oh, yeah!" Which is reminiscent of "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
Dean uses the alias "Agent Roussimoff," a reference to wrestler André the Giant, born André René Roussimoff.
