"WE ARE AWE-SOME!" *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap* "WE ARE AWE-SOME!" *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap* And then there's Sign Guy, Brock Lesnar Guy, Vladimir, Faith No More Guy, Hat Guy, Hulk Hogan Guy... Yeah, I disagree with you. Much prefer fans who make a noise.....any noise over the comatose mutes you see on Raw most weeks. I LOVE a rowdy crowd, even one with random chants at times, but "WE ARE AWESOME" crossed the line into annoyance for me. It turned something great into self-servicing wet garbage. Brock Lesnar Guy is more of a coincidence, isn't it? I could swear he's appeared at way more events than Brock has appeared at. Absolutely not a "coincidence" that he's been on camera so much. I don't know him personally and he could be a cool dude, but yeah he's definitely trying to put himself over.

"The Jannetty" of the team. Marty might not have been world title material in the eyes of wwf management, but he wasn't some bum who couldn't cut it. He still had moderate success in a lower-midcard role and won both the IC and tag belts after the Rockers breakup. He didn't just fade into obscurity immediately after the Rockers broke up. I'm not a fan of that term either, because if someone had one iota of success less than their partner, they get slapped with that.

When wrestlers refer to pro wrestling as "the/this business". It makes it sound like they're ashamed to acknowledge what industry that actually do belong to. I work in the film industry and it often gets referred to as 'the industry' . It's just a short hand for those of us who work in it. I'm sure we're not the only industry to do so. I figure wrestling is the same.

'Jobber' as an insult. Particularly when used by wrestlers who benefitted from jobbers.

It ssems to me that people are actively looking to crown a winner when teams break up, sticking the 'Janetty' label on the 'loser'. Which is ridiculous, and not how wrestling works.

When people use "selling" when they should use "bumping."

Any attempt to describe a legendary wrestler as a sports-entertainer
Like WWE saying "Bruno Sammartino was one of the greatest sports-entertainers of all time"
No, he was a wrestler.

"Divas" instead of "ladies" or "women".
Good lord, WWE is lame.

pretty much everything michael cole says, if he says it more than three times in the span of 10 minutes, which he probably will

Fans who use any form of the term "jobbing" when referring to someone losing a match, when the vast majority of the time the person using it has no idea what it means. Most don't seem to understand that being pinned after a 20 minute, competitive back and forth match is not "jobbing." I think this comes from when a wrestler loses It's also called doing the job Which is diffrent from being a jobber but a lot of fans don't get that

Labeling everything as NEWZ even if it comes from a usually good source.

I may just be pessimistic but PWInsider's full of shit sometimes, Meltzer seems to have as many misses as hits and MetsFan just comes off as dodgy as hell to me.

The term "mark" as an insult, especially when referring to kids who are fans.
Unless its Raven using that word, then its cool.
