Wrestling Terminology

Wrestling terminology includes terms like "face" and "heel," which refer to good and bad characters, respectively. "Kayfabe" is the portrayal of staged events within the industry as real to build storylines. "Bump" means a wrestler taking a fall or hit, while "suplex" is a move that lifts an opponent and flips them to the mat. "Promo" refers to a scripted speech to develop a character or story. Finally, "finisher" is a signature move that aims to end a match decisively. These terms help define the sport's blend of athleticism, performance, and storytelling.
