WWE Banned List - Why You Can't Say These 23 Terms

10. "DQ"

"DQ" is out, but "that match ended in a disqualification" is totally fine.

It has to be, 'cause WWE's announcers use the word "disqualification" constantly. If they didn't, they'd have to whip up some replacement like, 'the match ended in questionable circumstances', and that would just plain suck. A disqualification is the best descriptor there is here.

"DQ" however? That can go straight in Vince's rubbish bin. It sounds too old-school for a start, and isn't definitive enough sounding for McMahon.
