Noticed this in both WCW and WWF. Vince would talk about who someone was working on the "leg area". Tony would send it to Gene interviewing someone in the "locker room area". Why not just say leg or locker room? These aren't isolated occasions either. It happens all the time.

Wrestling shows are wild, fast, and out of control, and they're calling it live. They can't get more specific, they just need to present that information right away, so while they'd like to say lower calf or this specific wrestler's locker room, they admit all they know is its in the general area.

Huh? Which sounds better: He hit him in the face or He hit him in the face area?

I guess for "Locker Room Area" it's a catch all, whether they're filming in the locker room itself, or starting outside and going in, or if they can't find a room that looks good enough so film in a corridor, stuff like that. Makes it easier to remember on a regular basis.

I noticed the word area a lot more when they did a ball shot. Mostly because they couldn't say, "He hit him right in the cock there, Gorilla"

Monsoon was the only commentator with any knowledge on the human anatomy, thus he knew his body parts.
Architecture on the other hand...c'mon Gorilla- no one was LITERALLY hanging from the rafters (not even Crow Sting).
