Language differences
I was wondering how wrestlers communicate to each other in the ring when they are from different language speaking countries?
For instance when Goldberg recently went to Japan, how did they call spots to each other in the ring and not mess the whole thing up? |

Goldberg doesn't speak English, either...
Fortunately, he only has two moves, so it's easy for people to figger out what's next... |

"Buh?" = "I'm going for the spear."
"Vuh?" = "Get ready to take a Jackhammer." "Guh?" = "I'm going to do a ridiculously sloppy move that will most likely injure you and permanently end your career." |

I believe most moves in the wrestling world are universal. So in Japan and other places most moves are the same name as you would spell and pronounce them in English. Also, I've heard some of them just go on instict alone, without having to call an audible or whatever.

a different language than you do. I believe it was only Goldberg that went to Japan,as part of a pre-WWE contract that he had to fulfill.In most cases,you can go with the flow (if it's an experienced guy). Wrestling is an artform;and between two experienced competitors,or two guys who've worked each other many times before,you basically just know when to go for what,and work on instinct - like JL said. Now as far as the difference in wrestling here,and then in Japan - it's a whole 'nother topic itself.Let's just say that wrestling here compared to wrestling in Japan is like comparing being hit with a folding chair to being hit with a Ford F-150. |

Essa Rios had a limited knowledge of English which led to his release.
