The words of the business are pretty standard and while some of the old school words still get used alot of them don't.
However I can't post a list of the words I know just because I know how many yarders jump on here and could use the words around actual promoters tricking them into thinking they are trained in the art.

True that would not be good to let out.
Its like giving a jobber a belt on his first day out of training and seeing what happens to him next.

I agree. There needs to be some kayfabe left. The trained people in the business need to make it hard for untrained guys. They need to encourage them to get trained. the terminology should be learned in training.

Couldn't agree more. As a fun exercise I used to teach my students a new word every session. I'd love to get their vocabulary up to a point where we can have a full on conversation in front of the marks and not have them any the wiser.  |

The bad thing is that the internet has ruined most of the Kayfabe. With all the wrestlers out there doing tell alls, it is hard to keep andything kayfabe.
