Here is a brief explanation of some of the more common wrestling terms you are likely to come across on this site.
Presented in A-Z fashion, and beginning with...

Austin 3:16 : First uttered by Stone Cold Steve Austin during his post-King of The Ring ceremony speech, it was an era defining concept. Austin 3:16 is to the new millennium what Hulkamania was to the 1980`s. Steve Austin is the Hulk Hogan of the new millennium.

Babyface : These are the `good guys` of wrestling.

Blading : (see also `Juicing`) The process where a wrestler discretely moves out of camera shot and cuts his own head with a razor blade, creating the illusion that his head has been viciously `busted open` by his opponent... Yes, the blood is always real.

Candy Ass : Insult coined by The Rock.

Card : The line-up of matches that comprise a pay-per-view is referred to as the card.

Heel : These are the `bad guys` of wrestling.

Over : A wrestler is considered `over` when the fans appear to have accepted, and are sufficiently responding to, him or her as either a babyface or a heel. Steve Austin is an example of a mega-over babyface, whereas Triple H would be a good example of an `over` heel. The end result of `getting over` with the fans is the ultimate accomplishment in wrestling, and therefore is one every wrestler strives to achieve in their career.

Jabroni : An insult, coined by The Rock.

Juicing : See `Blading`.

Mid-Carder : A wrestler who is typically booked for matches that take place in the middle of the card, and doesn`t usually main event.

Roody Poo : A term used by The Rock, usually appended by `candy ass` to generate the full reference, `roody poo candy ass`; which is what The Rock is going to `lay the smack down` on. See Candy Ass.

Sell : As in `sell a move`. When a wrestler is `selling` he is attempting to convey the impact of a particular move. For example, writhing in `fake` pain, or responding over-dramatically to a punch to the face.

Spot : A `spot` is a significant element of the match that has been pre-rehearsed by both wrestlers, set to be executed at a certain point.

Top Draw : A wrestler who is over (see Over) and popular enough to be written into the main events at pay-per-views would be considered the company`s `top draw`.
