I hate the term "mic skills" but what really annoys me is when people confuse it with "charisma".
Saying guys like Jeff Hardy and Chris Benoit had no charisma is especially frustrating.

"They called an audible"
Everything called is audible, dumb ass
"Ring psychology" used by people who boo a headlock after 5 seconds

For some reason lately people on this board overuse the word carny, particularly when describing Vince McMahon. Not that its inaccurate, it's just that its kind of an obnoxious word, and it gets way overused on here.

"Workrate". Holy shit "workrate". I don't hate the term with its original definition, which referred to the pacing of the match. For some reason, people started to use "workrate" to mean "good wrestling", when that has absolutely nothing to do with the rate of the work being done in the ring. The use of it has calmed down a lot in the past 10 years, but for a while almost every discussion on the internet about wrestling would have at least one person saying a wrestler they liked had high workrate, even if they were talking about Orton or Big Show.

you still got it chants.. it's one thing to chant at guys like Steamboat who returns after 15 years absence and another thing to chant at Jericho who's back after 3 months. People who respond to these chants with "I never lost it!" Obviously, you idiot. That's why you still have it.

The term "smark", mostly because the lines between that and a "mark" are so blurred anymore, fans and wrestlers seem to drop either term interchangeably.

ALL 'rasslin terminology is kinda irritating in the wrong hands.
They're fun words to play with, but when you start seeing just how out of control little geeks can get with this stuff, it's just not fun anymore.
Professional Wrestling is "a scene." As with all scenes, some people just get weird about it. They're amusing to a point, but when you get these people that read a bunch of dirt and then think they're like backstage that talk to you like you're an idiot because you like the same dumb thing they like, but you do it wrong somehow it kinda isn't anymore.
Being a smark is the worst. It was WAY better when you were a little guy and you just took it all in. As a man who tries to follow this stuff, you just get mad. You see so many guys that have a piece of the puzzle that would be amazing if they just got to the rest of it, but they don't for whatever reason and you salt because you think you get it and the way they're doing it stinks.
You can still be polite about it though. Some people lose that one.
