I hate all of those but my least favorite is "the talent", I know it's a carry over from regular TV but even there it feels diminishing of all the talented crew who put together the production of a show. It feels extra insulting in wrestling given how untalented most wrestlers are today

None. I use them all regularly. I said 'that guy is more over than the other' in real life the other day without realizing.

I hate that "work" and "shoot" are now fully embedded in my vocabulary and I have to worry about saying it to people that don't watch wrestling. But I agree with you that I can't stand people who say "the product." Another one I can't stand is calling WWE "The Fed."

I fucking hate the term "buried".

A dude jobs clean once, and some faggots claim he's buried.

baby and babyface just sounds gay to me.
over has the opposite meaning in wrestling.
Normally, "Over" means done or finished. you're through. it's over. that sort of thing.

i don't know why the lingo is even still used.
it makes NO SENSE at all to use any of these terms anymore.
the whole point of that lingo was to keep people from learning wrestling is rigged. that's been out the window for AT LEAST 25+ years now (really longer.)
Nobody, even the kids and younger fans of today, still thinks Pro Wrestling is legit.

To be fair it got added to the Oxford dictionary, so it's an actual word now and not just pro wrestling lingo.

This has always bugged me. And then it's led to the booking we have today where everything is 50/50 and no one gets over.

Although I agree in principle, I think this has more to do with wrestling culture itself than the actual word "buried". Idiots think that losing once, no matter who to, "buries" someone.

I mean, over can also mean other things. Like 'over there' or over, as in opposite of under.

Shut the fuck up. You guys are really annoying, but you'll never be as bad as the SCJerk R*ddit, that place is literally 99.9% buzzwords and obsessing over ticket sales and ratings, nobody even posts funnies
