Necking Is Nice, but Kneeing or Elbowing Is Not ... Why?

Is it just me (watching too much World Wrestling Entertainment acrobatics 
), but when 'someone*' says "necking" it makes me think of 'making-out,' but when someone says "kneeing" or "elbowing" it makes me think of 'someone hammering-down from the ringside-ropes onto someone else.'
('Kneeing' & 'elbowing' only make me think of the massage-moves if you put them in a massage-context ... if you say "someone came up to me on the street and kneed and elbowed me," I don't think 'the stopped you, turned you around and helped you relax your back-muscles!' 
)
Why is that?
*(particularly SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE's Rachel Dratch ... on account of She's the most-recent person I've heard do it on popular media)

Never knew that about giraffes @Rollo1 . i guess if you have a neck as long as theirs, might as well make the most of it... even if it means using it for a weapon!

Those are the same thoughts that come to me when I hear those words.
'Necking' is done by a couple showing affection (or lust) to one another.
'Kneeing' and 'elbowing' are strikes as in fighting sports like the UFC or WWE.

But 'elbowing' is also a masseuse's good way to work-out the knots in a client's back! Why don't we think of that before the UFC/WWE-use? ... Media-Saturation?
