17. "House Show"

"Use live event", says Vince McMahon's personally-approved sheet of WWE commentary gold dust. The words 'house show' are never to leave one's lips - if they do, then the person responsible will incur the wrath of an irate boss.

WWE's non-televised output is a live touring event, and traditional wrasslin' speak (no matter how accurate) isn't welcome as part of an announcer's vernacular. WWE are The Rolling Stones, damn it, not the National Wrestling Alliance.
