Words you used to refer to stuff before you knew wrestling insider lingo?

[Maikeru]

For my brother and I growing up, some that stand out include:

 

Goodie (instead of face; probably common among fans at the time I guess)

Baddie (heel; likewise)

He beat him fairly (he got a clean win)

Character (gimmick) 

 

And a few that were perhaps more unique: 

 

Wee wick ones (jobbers; 'wick' is Northern Irish slang for 'a bit rubbish') 

Good ones (name wrestlers)

Tip (touch; as in to tip a wrestler as they're coming down the aisle when at a live event)

 

Did anyone have anything more imaginative? 

 

[IANdrewDiceClay]

My Dad used to call jobbers, simply "the shite wrestlers you get on a Saturday."

[gmoney]

We just called jobbers "rubbish ones".

[JNLister]

In the first fanzine I wrote for, faces and heels were fan favourites and rulebreakers, which was Apter-mag speak. Squash matches were "rookie matches" which was our own inaccurate term.

[Devon Malcolm]

Yeah, with jobbers we used to call them crapheads.

[King Pitcos]

My mates granddad called jobbers “novices.” I used to think of them as ham-and-eggers because of Bobby Heenan’s bit in WWF magazine.

[The King Of Swing]

I still use repertoire over move set.

Fuck move set.

[Frankie Crisp]

‘That dead one’ gets used a lot when I’m chatting with mates about wrestling.

[PunkStep]

I used to call jobbers 'fall guys', which I think is a pretty apt term.

[MEGABUCKS]

Used to call jobbers - Rubbish wrestlers

PPV's - main events

Finishers - Last move

 

[King Pitcos]

We used to call PPVs main events as well! How did that come about, though? Surely the term “main event” would’ve only been in our stupid child heads from hearing people use it in the correct context.

[The King Of Swing]

I used to call them big events.

[RoryFice]

When I was young, jobbers were referred to in our family as "pantos", due to their generally crap ring attire.

[garynysmon]

I remember vividly where I first read about insider terms and it blew my mind.

Anyone remember this?

[Supremo]

Me and my brother used to call jobbers, "no names." 

"Was Raw any good?" "Nah, just a bunch of no name matches."

I think I've mentioned this before but the first time I got on the internet I remember reading Raw spoilers for the upcoming Friday night's show and being super jazzed about the new gimmick match called the, "Dark Match." My little mind was racing trying to think what it might entail. There's probably a thread to be made for the first time fans discovered the internet or Powerslam.
