Jargon. Professional wrestling's cavernous compilation of catchphrases and crafty colloquialisms. Let's carry this carny catch-as-catch-can commentary to a cool conclusion. Yeah. This is a word article. Specifically, the words of professional wrestling that have spread beyond their origin and into mainstream media. Terms that have become widespread enough to be accepted into at least one dictionary and no, the urban dictionary doesn't count! Now, some of these terms are words that have existed in a different meaning long before professional wrestling came around but have had a new meaning added from wrestling. Others are words that never so much as saw the light of day before rasslin' rode into media's rodeo and decided the time was ripe for some slang not seen before in our stories. Put simply, these are the words and meanings that wrestling conceived. So we're calling an audible, this article will be the highspot of your day, going over on a massive scale and no this jargon isn't for cheap heat because hopefully the payoff will make the dirt sheets. So go be a mark and pop for this lark, this slow-burning work that proves Kayfabe is making a comeback. This is the end of this spiel, the finish was going to be clean but... F*ck it. We turned heel.
Betting on being a brilliant brother to Bodhi since 2008 (-1 Asian Handicap). Find me @LiamJJohnson on Twitter where you might find some wonderful pearls of wisdom in a stout cocktail of profanity, football discussion and general musings. Or you might not. Depends how red my eyes are.
