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

15. "Pro Wrestling/Pro Wrestler"

Vinnie Mac probs rolls his eyes whenever Daniel Bryan calls himself a wrestler. "Sports Entertainment" covers all bases in WWE's universe - wrestling is something other companies limited by traditions do. Note that you'll rarely (if ever) hear someone like Bryan refer to themselves as a "pro wrestler" though.

Terms like "Superstar", "star" and "athlete" are generally preferred in Vince's brain. That has even dripped into the lexicon of fans and writers alike. How many times have you read writers on this site use 'WWE star', for example?

Loads.
