Move set. It's not a damn video game, people.
On a different note, "Bitter," "has been" and pretty much anything related to that. Usually it just ends up being "someone from a prior generation when the business was different who doesn't like the current style." Never mind that many fans also don't like the current style. If Bruno or Ole says something bad about it, it's because they're bitter old men who can't get over the fact that they aren't in main events anymore.

I dislike the use of the term "jobber" nowadays in how utterly divorced it is from what it entails.
Kane, Mark Henry, and Big Show are not jobbers. CJ Parker is closer to the mark.

"The internet" in the context of how WWE sometimes use it as a term of scorn.
All the while, constantly shilling social media and an online network that only appeals to those very same internet using fans.
It extends to the other term of annoyance for me, the "IWC". Yes, wrestling has fans who talk about it online. Just everything else in the world of pop culture these days

Calling a talented and well liked wrestler an indy or internet "darling". Also for some unexplainable reason, I can't stand the phrase "drop the title to" Basically, when someone on the internet says "(wrestler A) can drop the title to (wrestler B) at (so and so ppv)"

Sports entertainment.
A dumbass phrase that will never catch on no matter how many times Vince enforces it.

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.

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.

'Buried'. Because a lot of people seem to struggle with what it actually means. This SO F***ING MUCH. Here's how I see it... Marc Mero in 1998, losing matches clean to Sable, basically wrestling her first ever matches in that feud? I'd probably call that a burial. Daniel Bryan getting beat down 5-on-1 and not overcoming the odds John Cena-style? No freakin' way, yet most called it as such because "WWE hate him and think he's a B+ player" and all that paranoid stuff. I despise how most people seem to use it as a coverall word for "I hate that my favourite guy lost this week". Just say that, because it's a lot more believable, you know?

I third the mention of hating the term "X-pac heat". He seems to be singled out for something that has happened to wrestlers through out wrestling history. If anything, I'm surprised "hhheat' isn't a term.

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."

Whenever people suggest a rowdy crowd are simply "trying to get themselves over" "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.

"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.

Sports entertainment. A dumbass phrase that will never catch on no matter how many times Vince enforces it. Y'know, I'm actually not sure at this point whether it's better to be called "sports entertainment" or "pro-wrestling" considering the negative PR both terms tend to carry with them. Whenever people suggest a rowdy crowd are simply "trying to get themselves over" "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. 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.

I think if he is guilty of anything, it's deliberately wearing the same shirt every time to get recognized, and that's not a big deal. Helps he at least has several of the same shirt, so it's clean.

A lot have already been said. But, I'll throw this in. The IWC I was a wrestling fan first. Then I got in the internet. When I was on the internet, I stumbled on inside information. A lot of it ended up coming true. So, I went back. I also found a way to converse about wrestling. Let's be real: Admitting you were a wrestling fan wasn't a recipe for popularity in the early to mid 90s, when I entered the awkward teen years and into high school. (Yes, I know some will judge me for that comment but none of you wanted to be made fun of at that age, regardless of your ability to let it roll off your back). But, because I now had a way to converse with wrestling fans and had the curtain lifted a bit, I'm suddenly classified as a group to be mocked? No. I see what you're saying but I don't necessarily consider "IWC" a group to be mocked. I consider myself part of the IWC, just like I consider myself an American. If I said, "Americans elected Mr. X Retard in the last election", I'm not insulting or mocking all Americans, but just the ones who voted for Mr. X Retard.

I mean yeah, him wearing the same shirt every time can't be a coincidence, but that's more just him being smart than anything else.
