1. Buried
This one has gotten absolutely, positively ridiculous. You see this one
all the time. When someone loses a match in a certain way, or if someone loses multiple matches in a row, they've been "buried". No. No, they haven't. You could say Zack Ryder is being "buried", based on reports that he is being punished for recent comments he's made on social media. They brought him back to television just to have him destroyed. That's a pretty good "buried" nomination. Historically, when a wrestling promotion finds out that someone is leaving the company, they try to "bury" them on the way out. The thinking is that the wrestler will look weak when he or she shows up in another company. Another version of a "burial" is what the WWF tried to do to Hunter Hearst Helmsley after the infamous "Curtain Call" incident at Madison Square Garden. Scott Hall and Kevin Nash were already out the door, and Shawn Michaels was untouchable due to his status on the card, so Hunter was left to take the fall. He was scheduled to win the 1996 King Of The Ring, but that was taken from him, letting Steve Austin win it. He was pushed down the card, losing match after match as punishment. Because he did it all without complaints, not only did his punishment eventually come to an end, but he was rewarded for riding it out, helping him to become the Triple H we all know today. Like was mentioned in a previous entry, people have to lose matches. If you have winners, you have losers. Not every time that sees a wrestler lose more than one match in a row is an instance of a "burial". Be patient for a little while.
