As a life long wrestling fan, I often catch myself using terms when discussing wrestling with casual fans and then soon realise they have no idea what any of the wrestling jargon I am using means!  Thus with this in mind here are 8 common wrestling terms/jargon explained. #8 Gorilla Position A name given to the staging area just behind the entrance curtain where wrestlers await their music to cue & final instructions, before being seen by the audience.  For many years this spot was manned by Gorilla Monsoon & performers would be told to "go to Gorilla" just before their match. #7 Shoot In wrestling a shoot is when a wrestler deliberately goes off script breaking "kayfabe" (We'll get to that later) by making candid comments or actions etc.   The term/saying actually comes from “Shoot Style” wrestling from Japan, which is a very realistic looking hard hitting wrestling style. #6 Jobber A "jobber" is a slang term used to descr...

Not since the days of Demolition, The Hart Foundation, The Road Warriors & The British Bulldogs etc. in the late 1980's has there been such a wealth of talented Tag Teams in the world of Professional Wrestling, until now that is!  As the likes of The Young Bucks, The Revival. The Uso's & The New Day are arguably among a best crop of Pro Wrestling Tag Teams to come along since the 1980s "Golden Generation".  Thus with this in mind, we have decided to pick our Top 15 (basically because we couldn't whittle it down to 10 as there are so many great ones!) Tag Team Finishers of all time. Honourable Mention: Shaker Heights Spike (The Beverly Brothers) It wasn't very often we got to see the Shaker Heights Spike, in fact Blake & Beau (The Beverly Brothers) usually only performed the move on local enhancement talent, as on the bigger shows they themselves were regularly jobbed out to more popular teams. The move itself is devastating, Blake would ...

Lets be honest with ourselves, for every decent gimmick we have been presented with in pro wrestling (especially in WWE & WCW) over the years, there have been dozens of absolutely terrible ones.  With this in mind we have decided to choose, what are in our opinion, The Worst Tag Team Gimmicks of all time..... or at least those that we can remember. Honourable mentions: The Killer Bees & The Natural Disasters #15 Pretty Wonderful (Pretty Paul Roma & Mr Wonderful Paul Orndorff) #14 The Heavenly Bodies (Dr Tom Prichard & Gigolo Jimmy Del Ray) #13 The Gymini (Jake & Jesse) #12 High Energy (Owen Hart & Koko B Ware) #11 The Bodydonnas (Skip & Zip) #10 Power & Glory (Paul Roma & Hercules) #9 The Allied Powers (Lex Luger & The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith) #8 The Quebecers (Jacques & Pierre) #7 The Dynamic Dudes (Johnny Ace & Shane Douglas) #6 Well Dunn (Timothy Well & Steven...

The referee in the world of Professional Wrestling/Sports Entertainment (or whatever you like to call it) is much more than the guy to count the 1,2,3.  In fact he/she is as important, if not more important, than the actual competitors.  What many people don't realise is that the official passes messages throughout the match to each superstar, calls spots & even tells the competitors when it's "time to go home".   As of late, especially in key matches on WWE PPV's, referee's have made some huge errors, blowing the finish to huge matches (Wrestlemania 35's Main Event springs to mind as one of the biggest).  Yes, I know anyone can make a mistake, but there is a fine art to being a good pro wrestling referee & an even finer art to being a great one.  Thus with that in mind, lets take a look at who we believe are the 8 Greatest Professional Wrestling Referees of All Time. Honourable Mentions: Danny Davis, Jack Doan, Teddy Long & Red Shoes Un...
