Terms the IWC has no clue how to use
I'll start with the worst offender: Burried
If someone is burried they are used in such a way that they are dead. PERMANENTLY. They will never be able to make money again. Being used to get someone over =/= burial. Being in a midcard program =/= burial. |

X Pac heat. If a heel gets over that the IWC doesn'twant to get over (Vickie Guerrero when she started) then they have X Pac heat

Honestly, there is a better word for X-Pac heat... apathy. It wasn't that Syxx sucked. At all. Its just that pretty much after his DX return, he kept doing the same shit. Same music. Same entrance. Same whiny promos. Spin kick, crotch chop, bronco buster, X-factor, by-the-numbers matches most of the time. After awhile, it stopped being "cool" and just became boring goofy shit. Yet instead of using the growing backlash to freshen up (like The Rock), he just kept on doing the same thing night in and night out to the point where he wasn't getting "We hate you because you're a heel" heat, he was getting "Uuugh, again! ? We don't want to see this shit anymore, go away!" heat.

No one uses "BAH GAWD", "SLOBBERKNOCKER, 'BARN BURNER" or "HELL, FIRE & BRIMSTONE" the correct way either.

This is also the fault of the independents, but "strong style."
Typically refers to the NJPW style incorporating far more strikes and submissions into the style. However, a ton of people associate it with the indy head dropping, trying to one up each other with big moves, and really just beating the crap out of each other. In reality, that is just a bastardization of the old AJPW King's Road style. |

Also Destor, who do you think has actually been buried on a big league level? The only one that even remotely comes to mind is MAYBE Jarrett before he left for WCW when he fought Chyna, but even that was putting someone over. But that is based on how I perceived the match at the time, and I haven't seen it since it aired.

Natayla being Khali's GF springs to mind as a recent succesful burial. |

want to clarify about Nattie: Her only ability to generate money is by being "the girl who can wrestle." By trivializing her role they've reduced (or eliminated) her ability to be taken seriously. There's also the fart gimmick and the fat gimmick. she has repeatedly been burried harder than anyone in recent years, or at least as far as I can recall.

Can you be buried when you haven't properly been elevated?
I only say that because I don't feel he had enough exposure outside of the brief "Chosen One" character, which fell flat. Being put with 3MB never do do anything else though, is somewhat of a burial I would say. |

Drew was never good to begin with. Go watch some of his pre 3MB matches. They were boring as fuck.

What about chavito for buried? I know a lot aren't his biggest fans, but he had a lot going for him. Respected wrestling family, quite a lot of charisma, a good hand in ring, but the tail end of his WWE run was brutal and it would take a lot now for him to be taken seriously at any title level.
Doubt he would make money for anyone now, but I really think he could have done under different circumstances. |

Really felt bad for a guy who would take one bump a night from a midget while getting paid $100,000 a year downside. Poor guy. I'm sure he was.crying all.the way.to the bank.

Kaval was drawing in TNA, and could still draw anywhere he's booked.
From what I've read though, he's buried himself for being an asshole backstage. That could be wrong, I've never met the guy. |

Chavo shouldn't have sniffed the World Title at any point.
He did become ECW Champ after that feud for what it's worth. Plus he was getting a bit long in the tooth at that point. He made his money and now can pretty much pick and choose what he wants to do. |

Was at a pretty decent level before, feuds with Misterio, Benoit etc...Pretty much asked for his release after that feud, by the time he was only wrestling on superstars and losing to rookies on NXT.
Was worth nothing when he left WWE. Had been a good hand in good feuds before that, and an ECW champ like you say. |

Kaval is a ridiculous person.
He's like if Kalyx became a wrestler. SERIOUS BUSINESS |
