Wrestling's fucked up terminology

shut up loser

Some of these are pretty obvious.
>Mark
Not even a wrestling-centric term. It's been used by con-artists among other professions that attempt to fundamentally deceive the audience. Probably stems from mark being interchangeable with the word "target"; He's my target, he's my mark.
>Rib
Pretty common term for a joke.
>Draw
Obvious. They draw fans in, hence they are draws. Not exclusive to wrestling, either.

I use these terms and everyday talk and people always ask why i say weird shit. i tell em quiet down marks im not exposing the business to ya

Did you just start watching rasslin or something? Nobody can be this stupid

>-Face
Their face faces the camera.
>-Heel
Their back, i.e. their heel, is to the camera.
>Tweener
In between a face and a heel.

>Mark

You could be right, always thought they used "mark" as in the name of a person.

>Rib

I admit, this is pretty obvious. Although some normies still asked what it means.

>Draw

Yeah, I kinda put this at the bottom because I was floundering a bit, to think of more insider terms.

But honestly...

>Shoot sounds gay as fuck.

>>3082364
Pretty close. Ticket salesman used to physically "mark" someone so the rest of the scammers knew who to look for.

>>3082371
That's a desperate attempt at defending the carnies.

>>3082366
Please do explain why a neutral character is labelled a "tweener"

>I fucking dare you

>>3082390
Because they're inbetween alignments

>>3082399
Can you agree that Neutral sounds better?

>>3082409
No because that sounds weird.
>John Cena is a heel
>John Cena is a face
>John Cena is a neutral

>>3082424
Ask any normie if Tweener sounds good.

>>3082558
It's not for normies though. It's for the scum of the earth aka carnies.

>>3082354
I'm beggin ya to have sex

>>3083069
People who have sex don't use those terms. You really believe sweaty obese men known as "smarks" get pussy?

>>3082354
>mark
Carnies used to literally mark gullible people with chalk so they could be milked of all their money by other carnies.
>shoot
As in shoot wrestling, corresponding to "shoot forward" and take down your opponent. A long time ago actual legit shoot wrestling matches were part of carnivals.
>rib
to tickle the ribs, a practical joke
>face
as in babyface
>heel
as in a person who is low to the ground, dastardly
>tween
one between face and heel
>draw
