list wrestling terms you never hear anymore
 

in todays WWE what do you never hear that you used to??



"collar and elbow tie up"

Inside cradle.

Tomahawk Chop

baaaaaaaaaaaaaack body drop

Pearl Harbour Job
Catch as Catch can

My personal fav:

TOTAL ELIMINAAAAAAAAATION!!!!
:D

"... And NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW..."

Gusher/Crimson Mask

AUSTIN! BAW GAWD, LOOK AT THE CARNAGE, HE'S BUSTED WIDE OPEN, THAT SON OF A BITCH BUSTED AUSTIN WIDE OPEN!! HE HAS DONNED THE PROVERBIAL CRIMSON MASK!!!

Remember back in the day when they used to imply that the wrestlers were wrestling for money and the winner would get the bigger purse

Solar Plexus and Sternum

Although I could be wrong on that...

Prett sure they do in ROH, but it just makes it seem even more small time

"He's broken in half"

"WILL SOMEBODY STOP THE DAMN MATCH!"

"wrestler"

JR tried bringing it back, he was in favour of reintroducing announced time limits as well, something else you don't get anymore.

Occipital protuberance

Jeff jar..oh wait

"Wrestling".

Also, I still miss hearing "The World Wrestling Federation".

Do they say "squared circle" anymore?

fans

I don't care about anything else. Wrestling needs this back!

Also Vince McMahon's growling at the start of a show..."WELCOME EVERY-WAAAAAAAAAN!" :D

I think it slips out on occasion, Regal's said a couple of times on NXT I'm sure.

Pier 6 brawl
Hanging from the rafters

Gorilla Monsoon.

"Going to the pay window (winddah), Baby "

Puppies.

Steel Cage Death Match

A lot of these just seem like stuff JR used to say.

They are.

VAM PYRO!!!! VAM PYRO!!!! VAM PYRO!!!!

Wrestling


Which saddens me because. I take this sport very seriously.

Pretty much anything JR said.

Havent heard Rock call anyone a jabroni since he came back.

Crippler Crossface.

Any Suplex name that isn't a vertical suplex or an "inverted" suplex.

Reverse cresent kick

Lariat.

chico santana

Kind of both amuses and saddens me to hear commentators not of the "old school" mindset calling moves.

No move ever gets a proper name any more, it's always a "modified-name-of-well-known-move-it-kinda-looks-vaguely-like"

Either that or a "variation of"

Pier 6 brawl

Y'know its mostly because Michael Cole is who he is that we don't hear these terms anymore
