WWE (Wrestling)	comment	WWE, short for World Wrestling Entertainment,note Currently marketed solely as WWE, but World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. remains the legal name of the company is a "global entertainment" juggernaut specializing in professional wrestling. It was formerly known as the Capital Wrestling Corporation, World Wide Wrestling Federation and World Wrestling Federation. In 2002, a trademark dispute with the nonprofit World Wide Fund for Nature required the company to settle on the current initialism.The company was founded in 1952 by Roderick "Jess" McMahon (1882-1954) and Raymond "Toots" Mondt (1894-1976) to promote wrestling matches in the New York City area. Vincent J. McMahon (1914-1984) took over in 1954, following the death of his father. Vincent expanded the company to cover the entire northeastern United States from Washington, D.C. to Pittsburgh to Maine. Run by Vincent K. McMahon (1945-) after acquiring the company from his father in 1982, the then-WWF revolutionized — and monopolized — the pro wrestling world in the 1980s, using a series of closed-circuit broadcast events, colorful characters, and clever cross-promotion with MTV to transform wrestling from a regionalized industry with a series of small players in a loose confederation into its own private Idaho, and transforming themselves into a multi-billion-dollar global entertainment conglomerate. In 2022, McMahon stepped down from day-to-day management of the company he owned, and would fully resign from the company in 2024 after a sex scandal, leaving the promotion in the hands of WWE President Nick Khan, with son-in-law Paul "Triple H" Levesque (1969-) taking his place as head booker. In 2023, WWE announced a merger with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, creating a large combat sports powerhouse owned by UFC owner Endeavor Group Holdings.WWE currently has five different television shows that they produce weekly: Raw and SmackDown are the A shows, which air live on weekly television, and are currently treated as two separate brands, with the characters and storylines not interacting except at special pay-per-view events.note This is not always the case; they were initially split in 2002, merged in 2012, and re-split in 2016. Though cross-pollination between the two shows happens pretty regularly NXT started out as a developmental show, but thanks to heavily featuring technically-gifted former indy darlings and the quality of its matches and storylines, has gained a fanbase and become a brand unto itself, albeit one often treated by WWE booking as subordinate to Raw or SmackDown (though the focus has since mostly shifted back to developing new talent). Main Event acts as the B Show for Raw and SmackDown, while NXT Level Up (stylized as "LVL UP") is NXT's B show.They currently hold twelve Premium Live Events (formerly called pay-pay-views) a yearnote All featuring Main Roster talent. It's worth nothing that since 2014, NXT runs their own group of PLEs called NXT: Takeover featuring talent from that brand:

WWE (Wrestling) / int_110439d6	type	Suplex Finisher
WWE (Wrestling) / int_110439d6	comment	Suplex Finisher: Somewhat surprisingly, very few wrestlers use a suplex as an actual finishing move. The most notable examples are probably Mr. Perfect's Perfectplex and the T-Bone Suplex of Shelton Benjamin. There are also, to some extent, Goldust's Final Cut, Goldberg's Jackhammer and Al Snow's Snowplow brainbuster. Notable examples where a variety is used as the direct set-up for a finisher include Eddie Guerrero's Three Amigos twisting snap suplexes (for the Frog Splash), and the trifecta of German suplexes often used by Chris Benoit (for the Diving Headbutt) and Kurt Angle.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_13d7a65e	type	The Artifact
WWE (Wrestling) / int_13d7a65e	comment	The Artifact: Several finishers and hometowns no longer fit with their gimmicks. Most notable being Triple H, who started in the WWF as an upper-class blueblood, but since that is no longer his gimmick, his finisher (The Pedigree), his hometown (Greenwich, Connecticut), and even his ring name ("Triple H" refers to the initials of his original WWE ring name, Hunter Hearst Helmsley) don't fit. Though he really does live in Greenwich (but contrary to his original gimmick, wasn't born there, actually hailing from Nashua, NH). Even more glaring is The Undertaker, who, in what is currently portrayed as an at-least-semi-realistic combat sports league, is Death himself. Believe it or not, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was once a Gorgeous George type with blonde hair. The name of his finishing move - the "Stunner" - is an oblique reference to this. Ghanaian wrestler Kofi Kingston was initially billed as Jamaican, and his character's surname is the capital of Jamaica. It's now acknowledged that he's from Ghana, but the name has stuck as the character remains a Jamaican culture enthusiast. In his case it helps that there are actual Ghanaians with the name Kingston. Before he changed its name to the Lighter and Softer "Attitude Adjustment", John Cena's finishing move, the "FU", was this when Brock Lesnar was off the roster, because it was named for its similarity to Lesnar's finishing move, the "F5" (both start from the fireman's carry position). His submission move is also the STF, originally the STFU.

Has recently become this since 2016 when the WWE entered the New Era (particularly ever since Triple H replaced Vince McMahon as WWE's Head of Creative back in July of 2022) has content on WWE TV Programming has gotten more violent and darker despite maintaining its TV-PG rating. And it's not just the men who are engaging in more violent and intense feuds: their female counterparts have also gotten involved in more violent and meaningful storylines in which the focus is on pure hatred towards each other and not childish catfights where the heels tend to mock their rivals' looks.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_1616e13	type	Ripped from the Headlines
WWE (Wrestling) / int_1616e13	comment	Time and the trajectory of their careers shows that Matt Hardy was always over, but not in a main event sense after he came back. Edge was clearly positioned as the star coming out of their feud, enjoying World Title feuds with the biggest wrestling star in a generation while Hardy moved to Smackdown where he wrestled with MNM and the Hurricane in nothing feuds. However, WWE rehiring him was probably the best thing for him because he might've sabotaged his career for good: before that, he came up with a school shooter gimmick (Angelic Diablo!) who wore trenchcoats and posed with guns.

It was broadcasted on WWE.com up until the end of season 5, then it was moved to Hulu, so not many were aware of this. It's now part of the WWE Network, and are being talked about more, so the awareness factor has increased.

Vince McMahon would briefly create McMahonism, mostly as retaliation for Shawn Michaels' newfound born-again status. The cult of "straight edge" appeared to look this way thanks to CM Punk and his now-defunct "Straight Edge Society." Whatever the hell The Wyatt Family follows - or at least Erick Rowan, Luke Harper, and Braun Strowman. (Bray Wyatt already believes himself to be a god, so...)

Everything else is a halftime show. In the 80s this wasn't an issue in the WWF because the secondary and tag titles held some importance. The Intercontinental champ seemed like a big deal. Those same titles are no longer valued by the company, and so the fans ignore them in turn.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_1c6ded94	comment	As of 2010, WWE has toned down their usage of this trope - they now have a plethora of foreigners (such as Wicked Cultured Alberto Del Rio, Genius Bruiser Wade Barrett, Miles Gloriosus Sheamus, Violent Glaswegian Drew McIntyre), and while many of them are heels, none of them are evil because they are foreign - each has a full-on heel gimmick to get heat. Sheamus and Del Rio would evenutally turn face, and while Del Rio was quickly turned back, Sheamus has continued to have success as both face and heel. McIntyre would become a face upon his return to the company in 2017. Only Barrett has remained a heel for his entire career.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_1e7487cd	type	Breaking the Fourth Wall
WWE (Wrestling) / int_1e7487cd	comment	Breaking the Fourth Wall: It's extremely rare that they actually do this, rather than just Leaning on the Fourth Wall, but it finally happened (pretty much) in NXT season 3. During Goldust and Aksana's wedding, Michael Cole wondered aloud why Goldust was getting along with his brother after seemingly hating him previously, and Josh Matthews responded with "You know this is fake, right?" After a few seconds of mock-disbelief, they went right back into taking the ceremony pseudo-seriously. Until the re-launch at a developmental territory, NXT in general had increasingly begun to break or lean on the fourth wall, whether it was through commentary or someone like Dolph Ziggler mockingly accusing a challenge of being rigged and Matt Striker simply answering with "Ya think?" The pros at their seats were also generally not in character and so it wasn't uncommon to see the various heels and faces chatting or otherwise doing something unrelated to the show. During his now-iconic worked shoot promo in 2011, CM Punk briefly made reference to the fourth wall, even going so far as to waving directly to the camera. Since then, his character has given him the freedom to escape the confines of the show's premise anytime he wants. Most Worked Shoot angles are this by default, since they hinge on acknowledging that wrestling is scripted and the people involved are playing characters and are booked to win/lose/play the character they play. A lot of this happened before and during the ECW One Night Stand PPV in 2005, particularly from Joey Styles and Paul Heyman, where they pretended to shoot on WWE.

Florida-born Michelle McCool is sort of a bitchy Southern belle as a heel. Hillbilly Jim (and his "kin"), full stop. Ditto the Godwinns.

Plots can be dropped abruptly due to an unfavourable initial response from higher-ups (like Vince McMahon), a change of writers, or unexpected audience reactions sending the wrestlers involved onto a different path or even through the Heelâ€“Face Revolving Door.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_2835de61	comment	Evil Power Vacuum: 2009-2011 was horrible for WWE's main event, and arguably the source for both the demise of the brand extension in 2011 and the company's reliance on part-timers in the New Tens. Starting with the departure of Jeff Hardy, several top stars left the company, went into retirement, or adopted part-timer status over this period of time: Shawn Michaels, Batista, Chris Jericho, Triple H, The Undertaker, and Edge. By the time of Edge's retirement, the main event scene had decayed to only two main event talent: John Cena and Randy Orton. WWE had already seen the writing on the wall in 2010 and had done its best to elevate the midcard of both shows to find a new top star to help with the problem, but it wasn't until CM Punk's ascent to superstardom during the "Summer of Punk II" in 2011 that they actually got one. After Punk, Daniel Bryan began to steadily build his popularity, and The Shield (all of whom were earmarked for top spots in developmental) debuted and began their own steady push, leaving all four men waiting in the wings for when the time was right. When Punk legitimately walked out on the company at the beginning of 2014, they pulled the trigger on Bryan at WrestleMania XXX and broke up the Shield a few months after that (and after having Evolution put them over), injecting four new main eventers into the roster relatively at the same time, filling the vacuum for the next couple of years. The injury epidemic of early 2016 was so bad that, at one point, there was only one active main eventer in the entire main roster (Dean Ambrose). Everyone else was either a part-timer or injured. This was particularly bad, as that was during the Road to WrestleMania. After that, the company made more of an effort to push more people to the top — AJ Styles, Finn Balor, and Kevin Owens carved out a place in the main event scene by winning world titles and feuding with the already established main eventers: the former members of The Shield, John Cena, and Randy Orton. The forced hiatus of Roman Reigns thanks to his leukemia tore a massive hole in the main event scene, because the brand split spread out all the upper-midcard/main event talent between RAW and SmackDown — combined with another injury epidemic that hit the company at the same time, there were only four actual main event talents on RAW in total: Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, and Reigns' ex-Shield teammates, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. Of those four, only Strowman was actually competing as a main eventer; Balor was in the midcard and Ambrose and Rollins were in the tag team division. The latter two were forced to break up the same night that Reigns revealed his condition to the world (by accelerating Ambrose's planned Faceâ€“Heel Turn) just so the company could have a top heel and a top face to fill the void.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_2b42db02	comment	The Omniscient Council of Vagueness: The "anonymous" RAW general manager ('played' by a laptop) was a bit of a mixed bag. It really depended on who was reading his/hernote well, [[Wrestling/Hornswoggle his]] emails. A heel like Cole could get away with murder while escaping responsibility for what the GM ordered. Other times, the GM would help out the babyfaces. It seems like WWE is publicly owned even in kayfabe now, hence the implication that the Board of Directors is independent of Vince and can go over him. This used to be the role of the "President" who seemed to have all the executive power. (Back when Vince was still "just" a color commentator.) Jack Tunney was a sort of super-commissioner. In kayfabe, WWE's "board of directors" are mostly faceless and nameless. The board is by design ambiguous: It can either help The Authority or hurt them (e.g. The same board that fired Vince also fired HHH during the walkout storyline). In terms of power, the board seems to rule over all: they can hire/fire anyone they want, they can cook up any match that they want, and they can choose to strip a title if they want. It seems that this power is kept in reserve, as the day-to-day issues are handled by the McMahons. Vince is the Chairman in reality, but in Kayfabe the last times he was on television, it was as a figurehead. Stephanie and Hunter are the ones answering to the BoD right now. The board kept the Authority from doing stuff like firing Bryan when he became a threat to Orton's title reign, and maintains a check on Stephanie's rasher decisions.

With the Cruiser Weight Classic in 2016, it was stated the weight limit would be 205 lbs, which theoretically means anyone weighing at least 205 can also be a heavyweight champion in WWE, still higher than contemporary boxing but lower than any other major pro wrestling promotion with weight classes(and most MMA promotions, as the sport's pro wrestling roots gave them similar weight classes). This may not change who actually gets the belt, but it's a step.

Eric Bischoff also deserves credit for turning heel after a run as WCW's milquetoast commentator; though his position as Exec Producer of WCW was inside knowledge, his heel turn made it official, and he 'took over'' WCW with the help of his stable, the New World Order. This is what inspired commentator Vince to do the same. Eric, as RAW general manager, better fit this trope — as did Paul Heyman as both SmackDown general manager and ECW chairman. Longtime SmackDown general manager Teddy Long, however, is an inversion: He tolerates no disrespect or Loophole Abuse by the heels.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_3dd3a9eb	type	Tone Shift
WWE (Wrestling) / int_3dd3a9eb	comment	Tone Shift: The history of WWE is defined by its main eventers: "Rock n' Wrestling" Era: In the late 80s, fans grew up watching Hulk Hogan telling us to eat your vitamins and say your prayers. They grew up watching a dead man wrestle. A guy with a red Mohawk who acted like a rooster. A guy from the G.I. Joe cartoons who then turned on America. A male supermodel. A man named after a boat. A barber. We can keep going. The "new generation" in WWE isn't thought of as highly as others simply because they didn't have Hogan and Savage (and others like them), over-the-top larger-than-life personalities with the charisma to sell ice cubes to Eskimos. "New Generation" Era: The WWF was trying to transition from a live-action cartoon back to a wrestling company, and the fans were...not as receptive as the WWF had hoped. '93-'96 was the "eye of the hurricane" so to speak, the calm between the storms: The WWF at the time was going through a turnover in talents after WCW had cleaned them out. They lost some of the gimmickry eventually and pulled off a more athletically-driven program prior to Attitude taking over, but in the early-to-mid 90's, there was a garbageman, a repo man, hog farmers, a Native American dude, Max Moon, a dentist, a hockey player, and so on. They repackaged the company after the steroid trials, trying to clean up their act with guys like Bret Hart, Hennig, Flair, and Shawn Michaels. Attitude Era: 1997-2001. This era changed wrestling from being aimed at kids, to being aimed at teenagers. The landscape isn't the same today as it was then. Austin, HHH, Shawn, Foley, Taker etc. were veterans who toiled in the midcard for years. They were competitive. They were hungry to succeed. They had their pick of WWE, WCW and ECW. After the Montreal Screwjob (which created the evil Mr. McMahon character), and Austin defeating Shawn Micheals for the WWF title, thus igniting the Attitude Era. WWF changed from a warm & fuzzy program to a much more controversial one revolving around the Austin character, who drank beer on TV, gave everyone the middle finger, and raised hell. DX and Goldust were making sex jokes, groping audience members and acting like total degenerates. Women were used as eye candy to appeal to male viewers. It was all about controversy and getting ratings. Smackdown! debuted as a B-Show based on one of The Rock's edgier catchphrases. In some ways, the most embarrassing chapter in the company's history, and in others the most exciting (because it's just so unpredictable). Ruthless Aggression Era: 2001-2008. Like the New Generation era, was a transitional period for WWE. With the demise of WCW and ECW, the company regressed back to its roots, though not entirely: Wrestling was still TV-14 at this time, allowing sexuality, swearing, blood, among other things. The RA era was an extension of the Attitude Era; a mix of new talent and old talent, and a rebuilding time for WWE. An era that made many of it's own historic moments, such as Raw having a Women's Main Event, having the Cruiserweight Title Match as a main event (when Matt Hardy took on Rey Mysterio) and, for the first time, TLC was featured as a singles match. Other highlights include the formation of the group Evolution that launched the careers of both Batista and Randy Orton, the return of HBK to wrestling from a 4 year hiatus, and the start of John Cena's career (in which he stumbled upon his rap gimmick that launched his popularity). "PG" Era: 2008-2016. Many claim that wrestling went "PG" because Linda McMahon was running for senate and she wanted a squeaky clean image, divorced from the past decade of debauchery and sophomoric humor (she lost both races in part due to her televised appearances during the Attitude Era). However, the shift back to a "safer" family-oriented show was out of necessity for WWE's survival. Rampant drug and alcohol abuse, wrestler after wrestler being crippled by the dangerous stunts, the death of Eddie Guerrero and the Chris Benoit murder-suicide, former wrestlers dying from drug abuse, governmental scrutiny (that means the FBI), and every talking head known to man out to crucify pro wrestling in general and WWE in particular—all of that meant big-money advertisers pulling out. It was quickly discovered that Cena appealed to women and children more than the diehard male 18-34 male demographic of wrestling fans; thus WWE attracted a more mainstream audience, which meant more money. Other popularity-driven decisions included bookings of The Shield and experiments with new talent, including call ups from NXT. Indeed, WWE has made a remarkable turnaround: It's seen (again) by the mainstream as family entertainment. Big-money advertisers are lining up, the government isn't hounding them anymore, the media has stopped digging around WWE trash cans looking for scandals, WWE performers (especially John Cena) are in high demand in other forms of entertainment and make frequent media appearances. For a while, the downgrade to PG ironically destroyed what little credibility and class the women's division had, as it was forbidden for female wrestlers to get beaten up by men, so they had catfights for the audience's amusement. "The New Era": 2016-2023. By the end of the PG Era, audiences, on-air talent, and even authority figures were occasionally letting it be known that the company's direction wasn't quite where it could be. A series of changes were instituted to adjust the company's business model. Women were once again billed as legitimate wrestling talents and not "Divas", thanks largely to the efforts of the "Four Horsewomen" and Paige, who came up during the PG Era. Several high profile performers were called up from developmental, signed, or pulled away from top competing brands like NJPW and independent promotions, and, unusually, allowed to keep their same monikers, the prime example being AJ Styles. Shane McMahon returned as a Reasonable Authority Figure to balance out the rest of his family, resulting in Smackdown! (now Smackdown LIVE) and RAW once again being treated as competing A-shows. The Cruiserweight Classic tournament led to the resurrected division getting its own show, the UK Championship tournament and other efforts similarly signaled expansion, etc. All of the above was the first year of this "New Era", and by 2019, the WWE's most popular star was, for the first time in its history, a woman. Endeavor Era: 2023-present. By 2023, a series of scandals regarding Vince McMahon has caused him in real life to resign in disgrace but not before selling the company to Endeavour Group Holdings, the parent company of UFC. With the resignation of McMahon, Triple H has gotten complete creative control and has made many adjustments towards the storylines including making the tag team division more important than ever, adding a second world championship after Roman Reigns united the previous two and gradually making LA Knight a top superstar. Some notable returns many thought weren't possible include Kairi Sane, Naomi, and especially Cody Rhodes and CM Punk, the former due to helping to start and was the face of WWE's new competition and the latter due to having a notorious walkout and grudge against the company for many years. This is also the first time in a long time that the head on-screen authority figure wasn't a villain who was trying to make the faces life a living hell but a Reasonable Authority Figure.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_4a3e547f	comment	Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Many, many instances. Triple H, especially, loves this one. During most of the backstage segments that aren't direct promos or interviews, most superstars don't acknowledge that there is a camera crew right there in the room with them. They'll sometimes openly discuss secret plans as if they were the only ones in the room and the people who's backs they're sneaking behind couldn't just watch the show later on DVR. Kane is a notable exception; towards the end of most backstage skits he's in, he'll give an evil stare directly into the camera. NXT season 3. The show was due to be "cancelled" mid-season in order to bring Smackdown to the SyFy network, and WWE apparently took this as an opportunity to launch into full-blown self-referential insanity, especially at the commentary table. Michael Cole constantly derided the show as being terrible and "quit" at one point. He was briefly replaced by CM Punk, which resulted in an episode where the commentary (aside from seeing a substantial increase in quality) reached a nearly Mystery Science Theater 3000 level of mocking, and it stayed right around that level ever since. In addition to just trashing the show in general, the commentary frequently danced around kayfabe.

However, it would be zig-zagged afterwards; the word "wrestler" was part of CM Punk's Insistent Terminology, and by the end of the 2010s, WWE has relented somewhat on the policy, reportedly due to falling ratings.

The only notable exclusion is Chris Benoit, who prior to his own Canon Discontinuity since June 2007, only has his World Title reign from 2004 recognized but never his 1-day reign in 2000. Upon her return in 2009, Gail Kim was touted as a two-time Women's Champion. She only has one Womens' Title reign in WWE, which was in her debut in 2003. The other title reign they're referring to was her inaugural reign as the TNA Knockout's Champion in 2007. Superstars' title reign(s) in NXT. The Women's Championship reigns are included in the superstar's title history (and is even a requirement for the Grand Slam) in the main roster. The male title reigns (NXT World, North American, and Tag Team Chamionships) aren't, though they're not completely ignoredExamplesThe main roster World (WWE or/and Universal) Championship reigns of former NXT Champions Seth Rollins, Finn BÃ¡lor, Kevin Owens, and Drew McIntyre are acknowledged separately (collectively in Rollins' case) from their NXT World Championship reigns.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_5740acf7	comment	Chickification: While male WWE performers have consistently been referred to as Superstars (after "Superstar" Billy Graham), until WrestleNania 32 female WWE performers were referred to as Divas (after catty, self-serving, high-maintenance women everywhere). They were easily spotted by their hair extensions, breast implants, and non-stop jiggling/squealing whenever they move. WWE has more examples on the trope's page itself than any other published series. Going from the long running Fabulous Moolah, the huge draw that was Wendi Richter and the jeered villainy of Sherri Martel to the career damaging run of Bertha Faye and pay per view pillow fights between diva search contestants, the company's whole women's division started strong in 1956 but has been afflicted with this trope since 1995. During the prototype Diva Search (ten years before it was officially called that), John Laurinaitis immediately crossed off a ton of applicants and told everyone that the message from upstairs was, "We're looking for 10s". WWE is more anxious about bruising their cosmetic surgery than putting on a watchable match, a casualty of Mickie's exploding implant. Gail Kim was busy throwing unconvincing punches when she thought, nope, f**k it, I'm done during a Battle Royale and walked right out. Thing is, nobody even noticed until she stomped backstage and told Johnny Ace that she quit. He laughed in her face. The Women's Championship itself was Chickified in 2010 when they retired the Women's Championship and replaced it with a garish pink and silver butterfly shaped-belt called the Divas Championship. No prior history carries over to the belt, either, which is pretty convenient. Even JBL made an on-air comment about AJ being the longest reigning Divas champion of all time (which technically she is) by snarkily bringing up the Fabulous Moolah, who had the single longest reign with any championship ever. Now anytime the company wants to push a Diva, all they have to do now is break AJ's streak, which is not hard. Nikki Bella currently holds this illustrious honor. Word is Bruce Prichard didn't think women belonged in wrestling except as arm candy, and that was the start of the decline. There were always exceptions like Mickie James and Trish Stratus (who got her start in modeling) managing to transcend the roles handed to them. But WWE never really changed with the times, and with shifting attitudes toward women in both Hollywood and MMA (not to mention the easy availability of porn), the juvenilia of the 90s looks more out of place than ever, as the Diva segments hemorrhaged viewers and the company perversely trained swimsuit models to have bad matches, as it's supposedly "sexier" that way. Thankfully, thanks to a Twitter row between AJ Lee and Stephanie McMahon, this seems to finally be changing. NXT's women have been allowed to work like the men for a couple years now, putting on some of the best matches period in recent years at the NXT quarterly TakeOver specials, and 3 of them were recently called up to the main roster to start a "Divas Revolution". Their debut segment on Raw got huge "This Is Awesome" chants, and since then not only have the main shows often had two different women's matches booked, but the matches themselves are booked normally, instead of the "bathroom break" pattern of 5 minute long badly booked matches that had been stinking up the women's division for years.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_575fd5e2	comment	Dark Is Not Evil: The Undertaker, if he's a face. 'Taker is often rivaled in this department by Randy Orton. Despite being known as "The Viper" and hardly ever smiling, he gets enormous cheers from the fans. It must have been a Draco in Leather Pants transition. A popular theory about Orton's popularity is that he reminds fans of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. He dresses in similar clothing (black boots and trunks), has a snake-like nickname (The Viper compared to Austin's Texas Rattlesnake), works a slow, deliberate "no-frills" style similar to Austin's and his finisher, the RKO bears a passing similarity to Austin's Stone Cold Stunner. Orton, coincidentally (or perhaps deliberately) has since shaved his head and begun using the Lou Thesz Press. Austin himself fits as well. He's a Type V Antihero (hero in name only) who dresses in dark colors, drinks beer, attacks people unprovoked (sometimes even women, civilians and the elderly) and is generally loathsome... He then turned that dial up to 11 and exacerbated this behavior as part of a Faceâ€“Heel Turn; despite the announcers screaming how reprehensible these actions were, and the other wrestlers condemning him, fans continued to cheer him simply because he was Stone Cold Steve Austin. As a result, his turn never quite took and he was turned back relatively quickly.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_6627695f	comment	Author Appeal: McMahon is a 6'2" (1.88 m) ex-bodybuilder himself, and it's no secret Vince seems to think tall, very muscular men make the ideal wrestler. So it's no surprise those types are often the champion. Just ask Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Batista, Brock Lesnar, and Triple H, to name a few. When you're wrestling in front of 17-60,0000 fans inside a massive dome, the size of the wrestler does matter. And the extra padding comes in handy when taking bumps. Philosopher Kevin Nash spelled it out in his inimitable style: "Superstar" Billy Graham got the wheels turning on the concept of a larger-than-life, charismatic, ex-bodybuilder type. Hulk Hogan followed this basic outline, but in being the megastar he was, he set the mold and was the true prototype of a patented Vinnie Mac babyface superman: Goofy, wins often, rainbow-colored merch, spouts slogans. Vince doesn't care much for high spots ("flippy shit!") or martial arts, thus eliminating the main draw of Cruiserweight Divisions. When they do appear on Raw, it usually involves said Cruiserweights doing Heavyweight spots (suplexes and holds). Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, and Rey Mysterio Jr. are all superstars who have figured out how to incorporate these spots into a Heavyweight-style match. John Morrison seems to have figured out how to game the system, too. Evan Bourne is terrible at it. Most conspicuous of all was X-Pac back when he was being pushed; a series of neck injuries forced him to wrestle like a big man, despite his small stature. NXT has a little more leeway when it comes to this style. This is probably one of the few that can be justified; Hayabusa once missed a springboard moonsault and didn't walk for a decade. Vince's strong dislike of high flying moves makes a lot more sense when you factor in corporate liability and teaching kids (many of them underage) to try these lethal moves in their backyard. And then, there is always Benoit... That said, either Vince's hardline stance against cruiserweights of various shades is softening or someone was able to convince him of their niche value - in 2016, after what felt like years of rumors, the division was revived; first with a tournament, then with WWE signing a large chunk of the field to contracts for a division to be featured on WWE Raw with its own championship, and then with the division getting its own one-hour WWE Network time block. Also applies to people under Vince. Triple H often has the same mindset as Vince but also has called for "Ring of Honor-types", John Laurinaitis hired bikini models (e.g., Kelly Kelly) and people with interest in Japanese wrestling (e.g., MVP), Jim Ross brought in fitness models (e.g., Trish Stratus) and along with Jerry Brisco likes bringing in college athletes (e.g., Brock Lesnar and The World's Greatest Tag Team).

WWE (Wrestling) / int_663f35c0	comment	Only One Name: Many wrestlers in WWE history have gone by just one name, and in the PG Era onward, several wrestlers have debuted with a full-name in-ring moniker, only to have their first or last name stricken from their character. Examples: Sheamus (O'Shaunnesy), (Alexander) Rusev, (Buddy) Murphy, (Matt) Riddle, (Gene) Snitsky, Big E (Langston), Natalya (Neidhart), (Antonio) Cesaro, (Luke) Harper, (Erick) Rowan, and more.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_668d2146	comment	Progressively Prettier: In 2004 WWE decided on a "new direction" for its women's division, which basically amounted too "If you have a big nose, get it reduced. If you don't have big breasts, get them fixed. If you're noticeably pudgy anywhere besides your butt or breasts, slim down. If you're bulkier than a gymnast, slim down. If you're more toned than a skateboarder, get softer. If your hair tightly curls, straighten it. Maybe get that jaw line cut back too." Because developmental was still being run by traditionalist wrestling and sports promoters, all sorts of athletes would be brought in and then find no amount of strong lockups, technically sound mat wrestling, agility, striking, power or scenery chewing would get them out of developmental but a new set of double Ds would at least get them attention. A select few were largely spared the "diva makeover", such as Beth Phoenix due to WWE being in quick need for a competent baby face opponent for Mickie James after Trish Stratus was injured, but most such as James herself were cases of nothing until boob job. After Serena Deeb realized the "wrestling" route was a dead end and went cosmetic she got a contract and was moved to an in house developmental program that didn't do outside bookings, meaning less work for 2 years until she finally got on the "main roster". Then Deeb was released eight months later with only one televised match. Deeb would get a measure of vindication, as after retiring on the independent circuit WWE offered her a coaching job, proving it was more likely her rhinoplasty rather than her wrestling that was insufficient.

Lee, Natalya, Paige and Beth Phoenix). Thankfully when Triple H replaced John Laurinaitis as WWE's Head of Talent, he began to gradually phase out the models and replaced them with indie wrestlers who don't fit the Diva mold while most of the cookie-cutter wrestlers are now on the men's side of things. These days, fans consider the WWE Women's Division more entertaining than the men's division.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_815ea36	comment	Foreign Wrestling Heel: Played straight with The Iron Sheik, Kamala, Vladimir Kozlov, William Regal, The Great Khali, practically every Canadian heel ever, and Finlay when he was heel. Averted by the likes of Kofi Kingston, Yoshi Tatsu and Finlay as a face, but played so straight with practically everyone of foreign extraction ever seen in WWE at some point in their careers, it's become one of Vinnie Mac's defining tropes - not that it's ever been confined to WWE, of course. Even applied to wrestlers who are not actually foreign or even of the same racial background as the character portrayed, providing they don't need to speak a lot - e.g. Jimmy Yang, a Korean-American, played Tajiri's Mook 'Akio' in a Japanese stable (some time before he subverted this trope by becoming 'Jimmy Wang Yang', a 'foreign'-looking chap who happens to act like he's a cowboy, which is therefore amusing), or Yokozuna, a quasi-'Japanese' Polynesian wrestler played by Rodney Anoai of the great Samoan wrestling dynasty. Many of this family have been presented as semi-savages when their ethnic background is recognized, from the Wild Samoans to Umaga. The Canadian Bret Hart got massive heel heat in America by proclaiming his home country's superiority, yet simultaneously retained a fanatically loyal Canadian fanbase that kept the Hitman face north of the border (and in the rest of the world) â€“ which presumably made his opponents Evil Foreigners from a Canadian perspective. Years later, the various incarnations of La Resistance were always Evil Foreigners (whether billed as from France or Quebec, except for one delirious babyface night in Montreal), which led to the absurd commentary habit of referring to them as first "French sympathizers" and subsequently "Quebec sympathizers" â€“ prompting some mystification amongst those who had missed the exact point at which the USA or indeed WWE had declared war on France and Quebec... WWE had always been rather supportive of the armed forces (witness Tribute to the Troops). That might explain it. Subverted when WWE did the "Kerwin White" gimmick with Chavo Guerrero, showing him pretending to want to be a stereotypical preppy white dude. After his Uncle Eddie's death, the gimmick died with him. (It should be noted that both Eddie and Chavo were/are American.) As of 2010, WWE has toned down their usage of this trope - they now have a plethora of foreigners (such as Wicked Cultured Alberto Del Rio, Genius Bruiser Wade Barrett, Miles Gloriosus Sheamus, Violent Glaswegian Drew McIntyre), and while many of them are heels, none of them are evil because they are foreign - each has a full-on heel gimmick to get heat. Sheamus and Del Rio would evenutally turn face, and while Del Rio was quickly turned back, Sheamus has continued to have success as both face and heel. McIntyre would become a face upon his return to the company in 2017. Only Barrett has remained a heel for his entire career. And as of 2012, an equal number of foreigners who are face. As with the heels, they're the good guys with their own characters rather than using their foreigner status as their sole defining feature. Revived by Fake Russians Rusev and Lana in 2014 (previously using the gimmick in NXT as well) despite generally being thought of as a Dead Horse Trope, and it's been surprisingly successful at garnering heat considering Cesaro got almost no heat at all while he did his anti-American United States Champion run just a few years earlier. This was dropped once Rusev reverted back to being Bulgarian.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_9bcd82c0	type	Took a Level in Badass
WWE (Wrestling) / int_9bcd82c0	comment	Took a Level in Badass: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is probably the ultimate example of this trope in Professional Wrestling. He started out as just a random henchman of Ted DiBiase, but thanks to the now-legendary promo at the 1996 King of the Ring event ("Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass!"), he gradually transformed into the stone-cold badass that fans eventually grew to love, cementing his place as a true legend of the ring and helping to put pro wrestling on the map in the late 90s. Dwayne Johnson. He is one of the most prominent examples of Rescued from the Scrappy Heap in pro wrestling for a reason. When he started his career in 1996 as Rocky Maivia, he was a talented face with a super-nice-guy persona that was despised by fans, but after he turned heel, and changed his ring name to The Rock, he began his rise as the "most electrifying man in sports entertainment". Jeff Hardy, full stop. When he and his brother Matt debuted in the company in the late 1990s, they lost every single one of their matches for a while. Ten years later, Jeff won the WWE Championship. Matt is a good example as well. The Miz transformed over time from a clownish Dirty Coward to a legitimately threatening heel. When he became WWE Champion in November 2010, it's a bit surprising that the entire universe didn't explode as a result. Stacy Keibler - After more than three years of mostly being used as eye candy, Stacy finally got a push of sorts in October of 2004 when she pinned Molly Holly to become Number One Contender to Trish Stratus's Women's Championship. Although she didn't win her one-on-one with Stratus, Keibler got a second opportunity soon afterward when she entered a seven-woman Battle Royal at Taboo Tuesday and made it two-thirds of the way through before getting eliminated by Holly. Candice Michelle - She will go down in history as the first Diva Search contestant (2004) to win the Women's Championship. She accomplished this in June 2007, when she pinned then-champion Melina at the first-ever Night Of Champions. She held the title for nearly four months, finally losing it to Beth Phoenix. Maria Kanellis - Another 2004 Diva Search contestant, she started out as a "dim-witted" backstage interviewer for comic relief on Monday Night Raw. She made occasional forays into the ring over the next few years, finally becoming more or less a full-time wrestler in 2008. That's when she became the first woman to pin Beth Phoenix since Phoenix had won the Women's Championship (though the match was non-title, and Kanellis needed some help from Candice Michelle to score the win). Kanellis and Phoenix met again at WrestleMania XXIV in a tag-team match that also included Ashley Massaro and Melina Perez, and Kanellis almost certainly would have pinned Phoenix clean if it hadn't been for interference by Santino Marella. Kelly Kelly - She joined the relaunched ECW on SyFy in June of 2006 as an exotic dancer ("exhibitionist," to use her term) with practically no wrestling skills. After just over a year of training, she began to appear in the ring sporadically and then full-time after being drafted to Monday Night Raw in 2008. She appeared in back-to-back (2008 and 2009) Divas Elimination Matches at Survivor Series, eliminating two opponents between them. Finally, she won the Divas Championship from Brie Bella on June 20, 2011, after being voted Number One Contender by the fans. Trish Stratus - Seven time Women's Champion, who started out as a valet for T&A and eye candy for Vince McMahon, and who was initially so bad in the ring that she could botch a catfight. In fact, much like how WWE saw its tag team division more so as a Breakup Breakout factory than anything else over time ever since Shawn Michaels went from one of the Rockers to one of the greatest of all time, WWE's insistence on turning models into wrestlers is largely due to this trope working so well for Trish. John Cena went from a comic-relief white-boy rapper to possibly the biggest face in the federation. Key moments in the transition included marking his return from injury by lifting Rikishi above his head, and slapping Vince in the face.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_a65288e2	type	Ascended Extra
WWE (Wrestling) / int_a65288e2	comment	Ascended Extra: There are almost innumerable examples in WWE of talents appearing as an extra in some sort of non-competitive capacity (as in, not even a Jobber that gets to wrestle a match) before becoming very visible in-ring performers. These early appearances are sometimes referenced in angles. Lita and Victoria started out as The Godfather's Hoes. Carmella, Alexa and Becky were part of Adam Rose's entourage (the "Rosebuds"). Alexa was part of the Triple H's posse, too, which explains her very large rocket. The fast track to being a top female superstar is to sneak into another star's entourage. One of the most notable in recent memory was CM Punk posing as a mobster of John Cena's elaborate WrestleMania 22 entrance in Chicago, Punk's hometown. (Before that, Punk had matches on Heat before his WM appearance.) Several years later, Punk would become Cena's biggest rival and feud with him in what could be argued was a pivotal angle for WWE and for the wrestling industry itself. Punk himself would even mention this during the build-up to their match at Money in the Bank. Hornswoggle got a ton of segments: A romance angle with Melina. He messed around with Jonathan Coachman and Steven Regal. He eventually won Vince's love for a few weeks and was pitted against The Great Khali (Getting booked into a long-term angle with Vince can really make your career. The only person it didnâ€™t really benefit was Kevin Owens, but he was already main-event caliber, anyway.) Him and Finlay tore it up a bit as buds. Then he got to compete in a mini five-man Rumble against little people equivalents of Mr. Kennedy, John Cena, Kane, Batista, and Khali. He turned out to be the anonymous GM. A computer, who was being operated by a dwarf half-son of the CEO of the company, was in charge of The Authority for the better part of a year or so. Then he and Finlay turned on McMahon, causing McMahon to beat up Hornswoggle with JBL's help. Then JBL revealed Finlay was Hornswoggleâ€™s real dad and that led to them feuding. It led to him and Finlay opening WM24. Hornswoggle retired as the undefeated Cruiserweight Champion. Another impressive example is WrestleMania XXX, where Triple H's entrance depicted him in full Evil Overlord mode sitting on a throne surrounded by a cadre of masked ladies. Said ladies were Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, and Alexa Bliss, all of whom were in NXT at the time (and this was before NXT became the hottest thing in wrestling). By 2021, all three would not only be on the roster, but each has multiple Women's Title reigns to their credit and be on the WrestleMania card in those title matches three years later. Speaking of which, the women's roster has a whole ever since the rebranding of the WWE Divas Division to the WWE Women's Division which allowed more nuanced and serious storylines, increased number of women's matches on the shows, unique characters and allowing the women to compete in stipulation matches that were previously been reserved for men such as the Royal Rumble match, the Elimination Chamber match, the Hell in a Cell match, the Money in the Bank ladder match, the TLC match, Falls Count Anywhere match, street fights, Last Woman Standing match and steel cage matches. As a result, fans have pretty much stopped using women's matches as the bathroom break these days. All the way back at WrestleMania VI in 1990, saw the tag team of Rhythm n' Blues being driven out to the ring in a 1950s-style car. The man driving the car was none other than future WCW superstar Diamond Dallas Page.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_b7e0c5ff	comment	Love Triangle: "Personal issues draw money." — Jerry Jarrett. When the news about the Matt-Lita-Edge love triangle leaked out, all hell broke loose. WWE fired Matt for airing heir dirty laundry in public, then only acknowledged it as a storyline because the audience wouldn't let it go (the "YOU SCREWED MATT" chants). Note that, at the time this came out, Lita had been forced into marriage with Kane. WWE kept her as a sympathetic babyface for months even after the crowds had turned on her. The fans crapped on her in Madison Square Garden: Heel Trish was playing defense for babyface Lita, who came out on crutches. So Matt got rehired because someone saw money in it ("WE WANT MATT" and "SLUT" chants all day), and the storyline with Kane was dropped in favor of a everything you're watching is not real but THIS IS real story, giving Edge and Lita a bigger push—almost rewarding them for what happened. (Edge mentioned in one of his documentaries that folks backstage were pissed at him, too. Triple H requested that Edge be fired.)What they were going for was reinforcing the Matt Hardy Will Not Die tagline. At SS, Matt lost due to a fluke (the face-plant in top of the turnbuckle) and Edge made the most of it. Edge just kept kicking him in the skull until the Ref called for the bell after Matt kept getting up and motioning come at me at Edge.The cycle repeated itself several times: Edge beat Matt towards what appears to be a complete inability to defend himself before Matt pulled off some piece of suicidal devastation and regained control. One such match ended in a no-contest when Matt Side Effected them both into a bunch of electrical boxes.On paper and in-storyline, they were 1-1 until the Loser Leaves Town match, in which Lita incapacitated him with the ropes to end the feud.

Edge was clearly positioned as the star coming out of their feud, enjoying World Title feuds with the biggest wrestling star in a generation while Hardy moved to Smackdown where he wrestled with MNM and the Hurricane in nothing feuds. However, WWE rehiring him was probably the best thing for him because he might've sabotaged his career for good: before that, he came up with a school shooter gimmick (Angelic Diablo!) who wore trenchcoats and posed with guns. Since the 2010s, many prominent mid-carders such as Kofi Kingston, Damien Sandow, Cody Rhodes, and Wade Barrett have been pushed aside by the likes of such part-time talent like The Rock and Brock Lesnar for one simple reason: part-timers sell, most of the mid-card do not. Averted for now by Kingston, who's now part of the extremely entertaining heel stable/tag team The New Day, which became so popular they were quickly turnedf back face and became one of the hottest things in WWE. As of 2019 he even became WWE Champion while the other three all left the company in 2016. When Triple H took over WWE Creative following Vince's departure in 2022, he relegated the 24/7 Championship (which had been a prominent staple in comedy skits on Raw) to premium live events. Even when the current 24/7 Champion Dana Brooke had a match with Dakota Kai, the belt was nowhere to be seen. This is in stark contrast to the Intercontinental and US title championships, which Triple H made more prominent over the weeks. When the belt finally appeared again on Raw, Nikki Cross quickly captured it from Dana Brooke before throwing it in the trash, putting an end to the belt and deactivating it.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_baaff343	comment	WWE doesn't have bookers, it has "writers". They don't work angles, they run storylines. The "superstars" don't have gimmicks, but "characters", superstars don't operate in the locker room but "backstage". This started to become true to an extent, as WWE began favoring soap opera and Hollywood writers over pro wrestling bookers, resulting in WWE programming becoming more heavily scripted. "Superstars" are often told what to say word for word and sometimes have their matches planned out hold to hold in advance. For better or worse, WWE has effectively distanced itself from a lot of what makes pro wrestling, with some "superstars" prioritizing acting classes over tapes or training. Because of WWE's size and wide distribution, occasionally workers from other companies talk about "characters" or "writers" even if nothing of the sort is present just because WWE is so pervasive. In fact, one can judge WWE's foothold in any given area by going to a wrestling event and taking note of how much or how little of its terminology they fall into.

The WWF Light Heavyweight Title was infamous for not only disappearing frequently, but also for its champions to disappear once they'd lost the belt. Towards the end of his second reign, Dean Malenko didn't even bother carrying the belt to the ring with him. When the title was finally deactivated for good, X-Pac who was at the height of the trope he named was champion and got injured, taking the title out of the company. Presumably, he still has the belt to this day.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_c4a1d337	comment	Prejudiced For Pecs: Rick Rude told Austin that. "Dammit, Steve, this is an upper body business." WWE is behind the inflated size expectations of wrestlers in USA, though WCW shares the blame/credit. Before the WWF got a national TV deal, a 180 lbs man was considered on the small side but still a valid heavyweight. In WWF and WCW 220 lbs was considered too small◊ for a heavyweight. On the women's side WWE deflated size expectations. A 130 lbs woman used to be considered on the small side but still a valid heavyweight (which is itself a deflation, as the 138 Fabulous Moolah was initially considered too small to be a heavyweight by Jack Pfefer and got the Women's championship by virtue of the NWA deciding to not put a weight limit on the belt). By 2003 or so, 120 lbs was considered standard for WWE "divas". Thus watching WWE shows can be a pretty jarring experience for fans of US independent or foreign shows when they see wrestlers normally considered "towering" (Claudio Castagnoli) or "tiny" (Jacqueline) suddenly look pretty average. WWE occasionally does go against the grain, such as with 190 lbs Daniel Bryan or 180 lbs Chyna but they tend to be exceptions that prove the rule. Bryan's first World Championship reign was presented as him comically fleeing from Big Show and Mark Henry while Chyna was more famous for fighting men as none of the other woman gave her any real challenge-Lita got credit for simply not being squashed by her. After the fall of WCW the 220 lbs Chris Benoit as World Heavyweight Champion was a big deal in 2004. With the Cruiser Weight Classic in 2016, it was stated the weight limit would be 205 lbs, which theoretically means anyone weighing at least 205 can also be a heavyweight champion in WWE, still higher than contemporary boxing but lower than any other major pro wrestling promotion with weight classes(and most MMA promotions, as the sport's pro wrestling roots gave them similar weight classes). This may not change who actually gets the belt, but it's a step.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: Well, they discontinued WWE Magazine, but kept the kids' version of it... Since WWE's free shows became rated TV-PG, starting in 2008. The pay-per-views were rated TV-14, until the Hell in a Cell PPV, which was rated TV-PG. That's just the culture of the Aughts, though: Attitude was a reflection of the 90s, South Park and Jerry Springer. WWE has always been a funhouse mirror of popular culture, and if the culture isn't as edgy, and more PC, then so it with WWE. It's quite possible that VKM is now basing his decisions, also, as a grandfather rather than a businessman. The general consensus on the revived ECW (WWECW) brand. Despite several warnings (from Heyman and others) that it was a terrible idea to stick to formula in one of the former ECW strongholds and to only throw in one of the original ECW guys to keep the crowd happy, One Night Stand played out no differently from Raw, with Show main-eventing with Batista. The crowd, which had been pretty affable until this point, started booing like crazy which Joey Styles actually tried to play off as a "mixed reaction". Maybe he meant "mixed" between those giving the finger and those chanting for refunds. December to Dismember, broadcast from Georgia later that year, was nothing more than an Elimination Chamber event attended by actively hostile southerners. Also visible in the crowd are businessmen in suits waving inflatable kendo sticks. Yikes. These were preceded by a pair of not-bad PPVs, One Night Stand '05 and '06, which at least featured some tables and ladders. The addition of little-person wrestler Hornswoggle and his inclusion in many storylines seemed to come at the very beginning of this new phase of WWE's existence. Curiously, many fans don't seem to like the panto matches he's involved in very much. Actually, nowadays JBL and Cole go out to lunch whenever the Little Bastard appears, as if they're tired of him as well.. Saturday Morning Slam on The CW's Vortexx Saturday morning block is even more lighter & softer than its other programming, being rated TV-G as opposed to TV-PG. The show places more of an emphasis on colorful characters to appeal to a younger audience, and matches featured on the show tend to focus on the athletic aspects of pro wrestling, with WWE higher-ups even forbidding moves that target the head. Shortly before her release, the company had Sherri put over Todd Pettengil, the geeky host of the kids-themed WWF Mania (causing a young RD Reynolds' head to explode). Judging by her excitement, you'd think she was off to meet Benedict Cumberbatch.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_e39ce9	comment	The Face: Someone who comes along just once a decade. The Big Five. Namely, Bruno, Hogan, Austin, Rock (more or less a torch-carrier for Austin after the injury), and Cena; guys who fundamentally changed wrestling and left WWE far different than they found it. Billy Graham also deserves a ton of credit for introducing feuds: a long-running story arc leading up to the big blowoff. (In the olden days, heels never stood a chance unless it was against a midcard scrub, and then only to make the face look even more powerful.)

Randy as mentioned above has crossed into Steve Austin territory while John Morrison wouldn't seem too far out of place alongside Shawn Michaels. Ted DiBiase Jr. was one to his father during his post-Legacy heel run. Husky Harris was repackaged in NXT as Bray Wyatt, an expy of Dan Spivey's short-lived Waylon Mercy character from the mid-'90s which was itself an expy of Max Cady, Robert De Niro's character from the Martin Scorsese remake of Cape Fear.

WWE (Wrestling) / int_e563bf09	type	Insistent Terminology
WWE (Wrestling) / int_e563bf09	comment	Insistent Terminology: Professional wrestling soon gave way to "Sports Entertainment" and, as of 2010, "Live Entertainment." As mentioned by Joey Styles in a Worked Shoot, WWE's insistence upon calling the wrestlers "Superstars" (which, to be fair, they have done since the 80s). Likewise, from the Attitude Era until April 2016, female wrestlers were referred to as "Divas", despite the negative connotations the word carries about a woman being egotistical, flighty, and overbearing and/or with a large sense of entitlement. It sort of made sense in the '90s Anti-Hero environment of the Attitude Era but at best comes off as really 1990s when used with no sense of irony in any era since. This even carries over to the WWE women's singles title being the "Divas Championship", choosing to eliminate the Women's Championship that had been in WWE for over fifty years. Somewhat averted by A.J. Lee in her 2014 worked shoot on Stephanie McMahon, where she repeatedly used the word "woman" to refer to herself and other female talent. Afterwards it became more common for announcers and wrestlers to use "woman" or "girl" where "Diva" would have been ordinarily used, before the term was effectively retired at WrestleMania 32, with the Divas Championship being retired and replaced by a second Women's Championship. WWE doesn't have bookers, it has "writers". They don't work angles, they run storylines. The "superstars" don't have gimmicks, but "characters", superstars don't operate in the locker room but "backstage". This started to become true to an extent, as WWE began favoring soap opera and Hollywood writers over pro wrestling bookers, resulting in WWE programming becoming more heavily scripted. "Superstars" are often told what to say word for word and sometimes have their matches planned out hold to hold in advance. For better or worse, WWE has effectively distanced itself from a lot of what makes pro wrestling, with some "superstars" prioritizing acting classes over tapes or training. Because of WWE's size and wide distribution, occasionally workers from other companies talk about "characters" or "writers" even if nothing of the sort is present just because WWE is so pervasive. In fact, one can judge WWE's foothold in any given area by going to a wrestling event and taking note of how much or how little of its terminology they fall into. Taken to the next level when TVWeek wrote a press release about Drew Carey being inducted into the "Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame" (referring to the WWE Hall of Fame) and WWE demanded the headline be changed because it included the words "Pro Wrestling". Read more about it here. To be fair, the WWE Hall of Fame does not represent the industry as whole, so there were likely more reasons beyond simply the terminology, plus there is an actual independently-run Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame as well. WWE does not have "fans". Rather, they have the collective "WWE Universe". Championship belts are almost never referred to as objects in the modern era. Instead, they are referred to as the "championship" the belt represents, rather than as a "belt"; ex: "John Cena is holding up the WWE championship!", as opposed to "He is holding up the championship belt!"note This led to a comical bit when Mick Foley was on commentary and slipped up, then tried to cover himself when he said a wrestler was looking at "the World Heavyweight title belt... which is representative of being the World Heavyweight champion" If you're lucky, you'll find them referring to it as "title", but never "belt". One exception was made for Becky Lynch due to the popularity of "Becky Two Belts", but WWE soon dropped it by having Becky lose one belt. It most likely wasn't because of this particular use of terminology, but then again, with Vince McMahon you can never know. Personal pronouns, while not forbidden on commentary, are unusually rare. It's very common to hear a wrestler referred to by name and then referred to by name again in the very next sentence, even after it's been clearly established who the announcers are referring to and a pronoun (he, she, them, etc.) would be perfectly acceptable. Superstars don't get title shots, but title opportunities.(and at least on Superstar got into trouble for asking for a shot)

WWE (Wrestling) / int_efef300	comment	Put on a Bus to Hell: Wendi Richter, who was booked in a match against a mysterious masked opponent known as "The Spider Lady", would soon find out what happens if you're holding a WWF championship and refuse to sign a contract extension. Vince brought back Moolah as the Spider Lady and, with help from the referee, stripped Richter of the Women's Title without her knowing. Richter, who clearly kicked out of a small package from Moolah, was still counted out at three. This incident came be known as the "original" screwjob. (See below.) Wendi's since appeared on Raw and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Madusa anouncing her debut on WCW Monday Nitro by dropping the WWE Women's title belt in a trashcan. Vince was afraid that Bret Hart would do the same, and Hart became the recipient of the "Montreal Screwjob". After Bret, too, left for WCW, Vince dedicated a lot of time burying him in his shows and claimed, quite infamously, that "Bret screwed Bret". After Bret became interested in making a DVD for the WWE, Vince wasted no time in making amends with him and admitting, albeit vaguely, that it was partly his fault.

Verne Gagne with his AWA was the wizard behind most of the 80s Superstars. The Attitude Era was dominated by ex-WCW guys whom Eric Bischoff fired because he thought they couldn't draw. The 2000s drifted away from WWE's southern base to incorporate some East Coast names. Later, the company primarily poached ROH wrestlers.

Speaking of which, the entire WWE Women's Division has a whole has become this ever since the WWE Divas Division was rebranded as the WWE Women's Division which moved away from Fanservice matches such as bra-and-the-panties matches, pillow fights, pudding matches, costume battle royals and bikini contests as well as women acting catty and childish. Nowadays, WWE's current female talents are presented in the same manner as their male counterparts including more violent brawls which sometimes included the entire WWE women's roster, serious trash-talking and the ability to compete in match stipulations that were previously been reserved for men such as Hell in a Cell matches and the Royal Rumble match.
