WRESTLING - TERMS - Wrestling - http://maxpages.com/wrestlescope/WRESTLING

To discontinue a gimmick that is not
creating good ratings. The Sultan
(Tiger Ali Singh) has been killed.
Mark
A fan who does not know any of these
terms and thinks wrestling is real.
Pop
The crowds initial reaction as a
wrestler comes out to the arena. When
Steve Austin helped Mankind win the
world title the 1st time, and the place
was EXTREMLY LOUD, that was a
HUGE pop.
Push
When a wrestler wins many matches in
a row and suddenly becomes so much
better than he was before. Val Venis
has been getting pushed much lately.
Run In
When one wrestler runs in to interfere
in another wrestlers match. This starts
a feud most of the time. DX does this a
lot.
Sailor Man
Otherwise known as a jobber.
Someone who is thrown in the ring to
lose. You'll see this a lot if you watch
WWF Saturday Night ShotGun.
Save
When one wrestler interferes with a
match to save his partner or friend
from losing. The Corporation as well
Jeff Jarrett and Debra do this a lot.
Screw Job
When fans get screwed out of seeing a
clean finish. This usually happens on
PPV's and the last match of Raw.
Mankind and Stone Cold have been
screwed out of the title many times.
Shoot
1) An interview that expresses the
wrestlers true feelings and he does not
hold back.
2) When two wrestlers stop faking
their moves and actaully want to hurt
each other.
Ahmed Johnson used to really hurt his
opponent.
Sell
To make a move look real. Mankind
does this well...sometimes
Stiff
A wrestler who is good for nothing
and has no wrestling ability. "Gillberg"
is a stiff.
Tweener
Someone who is neither a good guy or
bad guy. Kane is usually a tweeners.
Work
A series of events that all go together
and form a plot. The Shawn Micheals
having back surgery and retiring is all
a work. Some also believe that the Bret
Hart being screwed by Vince is also a
work.
