Below are a few terms used in wrestling and their correct meanings. I've started this thread due to two different threads in less than 24 hours having several posts by several different people try to talk the talk, but really have no idea what they're saying.

So here's what some of the stuff actually means. Please either stop using these phrases and words in relation to wrestling if you refuse to learn what the actually mean. Thank you.

1. Job, Do the Job, Jobber

To "do the job" or to "job" or to be a "jobber" means to lose a wrestling match. You are paid to go out to the ring and lose. Hence you go "do the job".

2. Jabroni

This is not a word, The Rock made up. It's actually been used for quite some time in wrestling locker rooms. It essentially is an insult and means a "nobody" or someone insignificant.

3. Juice, To Juice, Juicing

A term used for bleeding, blood or causing oneself to bleed in a match.

4. Color

Same thing as juice.

5. Do the honors

Same thing as Do the Job.

6. Angle

Originally this term meant promo. However today it means storyline.

7. Work

Something not real. (i.e. "That interview was just a work")

8. Shoot

Something that is real. A shoot is also a leg take down (i.e. "To shoot the legs")

9. Gimmik

Originally the term gimmik meant costume, however today it means what character a person is playing. This is not to be confused with a person being a heel or face. A person can have the gimmik of a clown and be either a heel or a face for example.

10. Heel

This means bad guy.

11. Face, Babyface

This means good guy.

12. Heat

Quite possibly one of the most misused terms out there. Heat is the type of reaction a crowd gives a wrestler. This goes for both heels and faces (i.e. "That guy has some good heat right now. We shouldn't have him job tonight")

13. Heel Heat

Much like the term, "heat" but this is intended for how much a bad guy is hated by the fans. The more heel heat and heel has, the more they are getting over and very likely the more money they make.

14. Over, Getting Over

To be popular with the fans, be it as a heel or as a face. If you are over, it means you are someone people pay to watch (whether it's to watch you get beaten up or watch you beat someone else up is a moot point).

15. Pop, To pop.

Another very often misused term. A pop is a great crowd reaction. This is usually reserved for babyfaces, but can also be applied for heels as well (i.e. "Randy Orton got a huge pop when he took that bump.")

16. Bump, To take a bump

A bump is taking an intentional fall and selling to make it look real. Unfortunately, sometimes some of the best performed bumps don't need to be sold as wrestlers can, and very often do, get injured.

17. Sell, Selling, To sell

To convince the crowd to suspend their disbelief. (i.e. "He's selling that submission good." or "He sold that interview".

18. Gig

A taped razor blade wrestlers use to Juice with, usually hidden in the taped fingers or wrist of a wrestler.

19. Ring rat.

Someone who works for free or is very underpaid, and usually a minor who is learning the business by doing odd jobs at shows such as cleaning up and helping set up the ring.

20. Call a match

Announcers "call matches" as a way to narrate to fans watching on TV what is happening. This term is also used when a wrestler "calls a match", meaning the spots used are discussed while the match is actually happening between the wrestlers (and sometimes a referee or manager as well). Usually the heel calls the match, however this is not always the case, and is less so now days than it was during the days of the territory system.

21. Spot.

A specific move, or series of moves that occur in a match. (i.e. "Don't forget to do that spot, where I clothesline you).

22.  Botch.

To mess up a Spot. (i.e. "He botched that move").

23. Run, to run a specific location.

To perform at a venue on a consistent basis. "WWE is known to run the garden every ten years at Wrestlemania."

24. Mark, to mark out.

Someone who believes all or a part of wrestling, that they see on TV, is real. (i.e. "He marked out when Jeff Hardy won.")

25. Smark

A term usually reserved for fans who frequent internet dirt sheets, a smark is one who claims to know or have inside information, and really doesn't or is just flat out wrong.

26. Go Home

A term wrestlers use with each other when calling a match to signal to end the contest. Once in a while it is  a referee's or a manager's responsibility to tell the wrestlers to "Go Home".

27. Turn, To Turn

To change from face to heel or vice versa.

28. Kayfabe

The art of trying to keep the secrets of wrestling a secret. Also a warning wrestlers use when someone not in the business is nearby and their conversation may be heard, and they don't want it to be heard (i.e. "Shhh....Kayfabe! Kayfabe!")


29. Bury. To bury someone. To be buried.

The verbally attack an opponent so badly that the fan is neither impressed by a victory over them, nor a loss to them. Burying an opponent, quite often can lead to attempting to steal heat away from them.

30. Screwjob

Made most famous by the 1997 Survivor Series Montreal Screwjob involving Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and Vince McMahon, it's often used to describe a match supposed to be going one way, but one or both wrestlers are shocked (and quite often angry) when the result is changed at the last minute or even during the match. As a side note, the Montreal Screwjob is still, even more than a decade later, one of the most talked about events in Wrestling history.

31. Swerve

To lead the fans one direction with a storyline, only to change that direction with no storytelling foreshadowing, thereby shocking the fans. This is seen less and less today as a result of internet spoilers.

32. Dusty Finish

Made famous due to matches between Dusty Rhodes and Superstar Billy Graham, a match reaches it's completion only to have the decision reversed.

33. Draw, Drawing Power

The ability to bring in fans to watch the matches.

34. Gas

Often used to describe steroids

35. Plant

A term used to describe a wrestler posing as a fan.

36. Wrestler's Court

An unofficial "court" that WWE wrestlers use for the policing of wrestlers that violate the  traditions held for so long by the industry. The punishments usually range from pranking (also known as Ribbing) to paying for other wrestlers' travel expenses. In Matt and Jeff Hardy's book Exist 2 Inspire, they discuss an situation where they had to go to "court" while it was still judged by The Undertaker, "We got to the next house show and John Bradshaw Layfield told us, 'You guys have been sentenced to Wrestler's Court. Your trial is set for next week at Raw. Wrestler's Court is exactly what it sounds like. All the wrestlers gather in the locker room, and they hold a mock trial. The Undertaker is the judge and John Bradshaw Layfield is the prosecuting attorney. It's pretty scary, because once you get up there on the stand, everybody's against you." Judges for Wrestler's Court have included the following: The Undertaker, John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Hardcore Bob Holly, and Brian Adams.


37. Stiff

When a wrestler puts excessive force behind his attacks or moves against his or her opponent, be it on purpose or by accident. Someof the more well known stiff workers are Vader, John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Hardcore Bob Holly, and Bubba Ray Dudley (also known as Brother Ray)

That's all I can think of right now off the top of my head, I'll post more. However, please, once again, actually use these terms correctly from now on. When you don;t and you use them incorrectly, you just make yourself look foolish to those who actually know a little bit about wrestling.

Thank you.
