I hate the term "work"

Glad we cleared that up. I still make the point not everyone hired has some in ring talent on any level, but look nice, be it swimwear models or massive guys. After that it's down to the individual if they try to improve or coast along.

Another example, Mark Henry, hired right after the 96 Olympics on a 10 year contract without an hour of training. Early Mark Henry was painful to see.

I just can't stand it. What is WORK and how do you WORK somebody? Like seriously. Isn't everybody employed talented in atleast SOME aspect? Who are we to decide who can "work" and who can't? We don't go around telling cashiers that they can't "work". Trust me, these people wouldn't be employed if they weren't good workers. The only difference is, some "workers" are allowed to "work" a good match.

What is "stand?" How do you "stand ... *it*?" Especially when one is already standing when they DO say "I can't stand it."

The moral of the story: it's a term that's been around far longer than anyone on the Internet, and it's just splitting hairs to pick on a word as commonplace as "work." If you get a pass on "work," then every idiomatic expression in the English language and every piece of job-related jargon on the planet is subject to a thread.

I hate the term "super star."
They are wrestlers!

serious. Considering how workrate in real life is used in reference to how hard and how consist you work without complaint, John Cena probably has the greatest workrate in the business right now.

Agreed.

As for those saying that those who don't wrestle shouldn't use the lingo... I don't have to be able to sew to know that a shirt when hit with a mild breeze wasn't made very well.

As for Candice - she was injured at least three times. I can think of that many off the top of my head.
