Is it forbidden in the wrestling industry to use the words "Real" & "Fake"?

[Buzzed Lightyear]

You hardly ever hear it. In podcasts, in YouTube interviews, a lot of wrestling dorks on the internet, & I take it it's like that backstage too.

So let's say if Angelo Dawkins gets into it with somebody does he have to say "I'm a shoot nıgga fam, keep that work shıt from round me."?

Or do Jimmy Uso say to Jay "Cardi B got a work ass but she can get that work, Uce."

Is it a rule that they aren't to use those words?

“You think this is fake?”



Been waiting for an excuse to post this clip again

I’m sure those words are no issue now, but back in the day it musta been a strict no-no.

To some fans and wrestlers, fake makes it sound like it they aren't athletes or the moves don't actually hurt so it's pretty much a no-no. No one really argues with scripted though.

It seems like wrestlers are OK with it being called "predetermined" by media people now, but still can get mad about "fake".

I find it funny when listening to interviews and they talk about how they get into arguments in the locker room almost every wrestler says “he comes in the locker room and starts cutting this promo on me”

its never “he came in the locker room yelling and cursing”

Funny how upset they get about it, wrestling is fake lol, it's not really a big deal, it just is.

From their perspective, the word fake sounds like you're trying to erase the fact that they get injured and bumps actually hurt. Pre-determined and scripted both amount to the same thing but doesn't offend most wrestlers.

Pretty much it's semantics and wrestlers or fans getting defensive since wrestlers and fans are so used to defending it.

Yea, my mom used to say that she thought they were the best athletes in the world and tbh, I agree

I get it but it's fake and they're being sensitive over it

There was somewhat a commercial about this

It’s called play fighting, or theatrical combat.
