Indie: A wrestling promotion that exclusively operates indoors Kayfabe: A Pokémon from one of those generations that I skipped. They're Normal/Fairy, I think. The Book: Every wrestling company is required to keep a large, leather-bound vellum tome where all matches and results are recorded for posterity. "Having The Book" is a position of great responsibility that can drive lesser minds mad, and The Book must always be defended against unscrupulous wrestlers who want to rewrite its contents to change the past.

Fire Russo: You may hear this chant pop up during some shows from both WCW and TNA. It’s referring to “Fire Russo”, a very popular wrestler who would get “fired up” by the crowd and was famous for being wildly unpredictable in the ring. WCW: World Class Wrestling. It made a million mistakes and was always bad, eventually destroyed when HHH drove a tank to a show and scared everyone so bad they signed with the underdog, WWF. WWF: Former name of WWE, they had to change it after a panda was injured in the ring and they spent so much money they couldn’t afford the F any more and had to downgrade to an E. TNA: Tits N rear end Wrestling, also the containment zone of Scott Steiner for many years.
