Been reading a fair few wwe threads and a lot of people keep referring to various wrestlers as geeks? Where has this come from what does it even mean?

Freddy Blassie would call wrestlers that he didn't like 'pencil neck geeks' and Bryan & Vinny will also call wrestlers geeks when they just come off as massive losers that you don't have any kind of attachment to and can't take seriously.
*LANGUAGE*
This is them talking about Chris Harris' failed TNA return and he was the epitome of a geek.

Yeah, I picked it up from Bryan and Vinny personally. It also just sounds funny, lol. Geek. Gets your disdain across well with context

Even though he currently holds a title, Apollo Crews is the first guy I think of when I see the word geek.

Doesn't the word "geek" have a similar carny background as pro wrestling itself?

Right, it sums up a particular brand of wrestler who is very difficult to take seriously. Toothless faces, booked like idiots, heels who just are terminally useless, worthless officials who constantly screw up, etc. Doesn't the word "geek" have a similar carny background as pro wrestling itself? Yeah. Freaks would be the people with unusual health problems, like the Elephant Man, while geeks would perform bizarre feats, like bite the heads off of chickens or eat light bulbs.

When Alvarez mentions it.. the best example is the group of non storyline wrestlers that run out to separate a Kayfabe fight between feuding Wrestlers.
Usually a bunch of of midcarders who are not over enough to get a distracting reaction from the crowd
