10 Secrets To A Guaranteed POP In Wrestling
7. Saying The Word "B*tch"
"Crap" doesn't work.
It's a lamewad way of saying "sh*t". Fans know that there's a better word. So that's out. Unless it's New Japan Pro Wrestling, saying the words "c*nt" and or "f*ck" are verboten.
Nobody on AEW TV has chanced a "tw*t" yet, but given how happy the average wrestler is to grab low-hanging fruit, it's extremely likely that, if it were allowed, you'd have heard a heel say "Your personality is as dry as nun's tw*t" on Dynamite by now.
Jungle Boy apparently got in trouble for calling Christian Cage "a p*ssy", so that's also off the table. Cody Rhodes once said "d*ck" - once - but nobody has said "c*ck", so all references to a penis are outlawed as well. Then again, Tony Schiavone frequently calls MJF a "pr*ck". Rick Ross said that Keith Lee is a "big motherf*cker", which won't happen again.
Does anybody say "You're an a**hole"? It's not altogether common. The options for a cheap expletive pop are limited.
So what's left?
Why, the word "Bitch!" of course.
It's eternal. The hard "B" sound adds emphasis to the disrespect. It's fun to say and listen to.
A wrestler can get themselves in superb cardiovascular condition and perfect their difficult craft over a painstaking span of years, but most of the time they're not as over as a consonant.
