'''[[GMA Network]]'s programs''' include news and current affairs shows, [[documentaries]], [[drama]]s, dubbed foreign serials, entertainment, news and talk shows, game shows, variety shows, musicals, sitcoms, children's shows, fantasy and reality shows.
[[Professional wrestling]] has accrued a considerable amount of [[slang]], in-references and [[jargon]].<ref name=torch>{{cite web|url=http://www.pwtorch.com/insiderglossary.shtml|title=Torch Glossary of Insider Terms|publisher=PWTorch.com|accessdate=2007-07-10|date=2000}}</ref> Much of it stems from the industry's origins in the days of [[carnival]]s, and the slang itself is often referred to as "[[carny]] talk." Often wrestlers used this lingo in the presence of fans so as not to reveal the [[#W|worked]] nature of the business.<ref name=torch/> In recent years, widespread wrestling discussion on the [[Internet]] popularized the terms.<ref name=torch/>

;Hotshot: when a promoter or booker rushes to a feud, a climax of a feud, or books a big match on [[television]] instead of at a [[pay-per-view]] in order to get a short-term boost for business.<ref name=torch/> Also applies to angles or turns that are done for shock value rather than acting as a part of an ongoing storyline.<ref name=torch/>
;Hot tag: in a tag team match, when a [[Face (professional wrestling)|face]] wrestler tags in a fresh partner after several minutes of being dominated by his opponents.<ref name=torch/> Often the hot tag happens after several teases (where the other face is enticed into the ring, only to be stopped by the referee and the heels getting away with illegal tactics).

==N==
===Sitcom===
*[[Ful Haus]] (2007-present)
;No-contest: a match which ends without a winner normally due to a legitimate injury where the wrestler can not continue or to prolong a [[#F|feud]]. Usually ended by injury on a surgically repaired bodypart. Commonly done by [[Triple H]] due to a knee injury.
*[[Camera Cafe]] (2008-present)
;Near-fall: occurs when a wrestler's shoulders are pinned to the mat for a count of two, but the wrestler manages to escape before the referee's hand hits the mat a third time, which would signify a [[Pin (professional wrestling)|pinfall]].
;No-sell: giving no reaction to another wrestler's offense or moves. (See [[Hulk Hogan]] and "Hulking Up") <ref name=torch/>
;No-show: when a wrestler doesn't show up for a match.<ref name=torch/> No-shows are usually staged, often for the purposes of a storyline. Legit no-shows are less frequent, since the wrestler (or other employee) is usually fired or suspended afterwards. Examples: [[Warrior (wrestler)|Ultimate Warrior]] in the summer of 1996 and [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] in 2002.


==O==
===Reality===
*[[Survivor Philippines]] (2008-present)
;Outlaw Rule: In a tag match involving more than two teams, teammates cannot pin each other in order to win a match. Named after the [[New Age Outlaws]], who pulled this off in a three-team tag match.
*[[Celebrity Duets: Philippine Edition]] (2007-present)
;Over: refers to a performer whom the fans care about (either positively or negatively) or the act of making someone look good, often by losing to them.<ref name=torch/> Wrestlers can be over as either [[#F|faces]] or [[#H|heels]]. The term suggests that the fans are buying into what the wrestler is selling, meaning his character. One of the most common ways a wrestler can be "put over" is by winning a match. It's also possible to put someone over by taking [[bump (professional wrestling)|bumps]] or [[#S|selling]] a move.
;Over-sell: showing too much of a reaction to another wrestler's offense. For example, tumbling head over heels all the way across the ring from a simple punch would be an over-sell.


==P==
;Paper: to give away a great number of free (comped) tickets to increase the size of the crowd for publicity.<ref name=torch/>
;Paper Champion: a similar term to [[#T|transitional champion]], the name comes from the long strip of paper with a new champion's name printed on it, that is similarly colored to a championship belt to replace the former champion's nameplate. This can be either kept there in the interim while the new champion's nameplate is being engraved, or simply removed when a "transitional champion" loses the belt again to the former champion, saving the time and cost for a new nameplate engraving.
;Parts Unknown: Billing a wrestler as being from "Parts Unknown" (rather than from his real hometown or another actual place) is intended to add to a wrestler's mystique. In the post-[[kayfabe]] era, it is used less and less.
;Paying dues: the concept that newer or younger wrestlers must be hazed or punished in the early parts of their careers, both in and out of the ring.<ref name=torch/> (See "[[#J|job]]" and "[[#R|rib]]")
;Phantom bump: when a wrestler or referee takes a bump even though the move they are selling was visibly [[#B|botched]] or otherwise not present.<ref name=torch/>
;Plant: is a [[professional wrestling]] term for a trained wrestler or actor who poses as a fan, usually seated in the front row of an event.<ref name=torch/> Plants are a good tool for a [[heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] wrestler to gain [[heat (professional wrestling)|heat]] from the crowd.<ref name=torch/> Usually the "plant" is an unknown trained wrestler.<ref name=torch/> (Note: not all attacks on fans are on "plants". Occasionally, a wrestler ''will'' start a legit attack on a real fan who has engaged in behavior such as spitting, cursing, or insulting the wrestler's family members). Alternatively, to get [[#O|over]], some heels may do such actions as grab a fan's hat and throw it away.
;[[Play-by-play]]: the reporting of a sporting event with a voice over describing the details of the action of the match in progress. The play-by-play person is assisted by a [[#C|color commentator]].
;[[Pop (professional wrestling)|Pop]]: a sudden crowd reaction, either positive or negative.<ref name=torch/>
;[[Promo (professional wrestling)|Promo]]: a promotional interview (as in "cutting a promo").<ref name=torch/> Often includes either an "in-ring interview" or (on television) a skit by wrestlers and other performers to advance a storyline or feud.<ref name=torch/>
;[[Professional wrestling promotion|Promotion]]: a group that organizes professional wrestling events.<ref name=torch/>
;[[Professional wrestling in Japan|Puroresu]]: Japanese professional wrestling
;Put over: to allow oneself to be pinned or otherwise defeated by someone or to compliment them in an interview to get that person [[#O|over]].<ref name=torch/>
;Psychology: the story of a match. It can be as simple as a wrestler going after someone's bad leg or trying to hit a move to which the wrestler knows they have a weakness.
;[[Push (professional wrestling)|Push]]: when a wrestler gains popularity with wins and positive exposure.<ref name=torch/> A push can be a sudden win over a major superstar, or becoming involved in a high profile angle. (Compare "[[#B|bury]]")

====Iloilo and Bacolod====
;Rasslin': refers to a [[Southern United States|southern]] style of [[professional wrestling]] which emphasizes kayfabe and stiffness, with fewer squash matches and generally longer feuds. It was synonymous with the [[National Wrestling Alliance|NWA]]-affiliated promotions. Rasslin' included [[television|TV]] tapings at smaller venues, as compared to the larger and more well-known arenas utilized by northern U.S. promotions such as the [[American Wrestling Association|AWA]] and [[World Wrestling Entertainment|W(W)WF]]. The term is derived from a phonetic spelling of how the word "wrestling" sounds when spoken with a heavy Southern [[Accent (linguistics)|accent]]. It is also commonly used in a derogatory manner by non-Southern wrestling fans to describe that style of wrestling. When [[Ted Turner]] purchased [[Jim Crockett Promotions]] in 1988, he allegedly called [[Vince McMahon]] to tell him that he was now in the "rasslin'" business. McMahon allegedly differentiated his company's style by responding, "That's great, Ted. I'm in the entertainment business."
*[[Ratsada]] - regional newscast of GMA Iloilo and Bacolod
;Ref bump: when the referee for a match is intentionally knocked out, generally to allow outside interference or other illegal act.<ref name=torch/>
*[[Arangkada (GMA morning show)| Arangkada]] - regional morning show of GMA Iloilo and Bacolod
;Rest hold: a hold applied more lightly at a designated point in a match in order to save energy.<ref name=torch/>
*[[Istayl Naton]] - regional lifestyle and magazine show of GMA Iloilo and Bacolod
;Rib: practical jokes played by or on wrestlers.<ref name=torch/> [[Owen Hart]] was known to pull ribs on the boys and [[Vince McMahon]]. Wrestlers spend a lot of time together in close quarters and often resort to practical jokes, either to break the monotony or to get revenge for real or imagined wrongs.
;Ribber: someone involved in the pro wrestling business who is well known for playing practical jokes.
;Ring psychology: wrestling a match properly so that the crowd becomes personally involved in the show.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/SlamWrestlingBiosB/booker_00jun18.html|title=Booker T: Wrestling's consummate performer|author=John Powell|publisher=SLAM!

;Ring rat: someone with amorous feelings for wrestlers and frequents wrestling events to flirt or pursue sexual liaisons with wrestlers.<ref name=torch/><ref>Laurer, Joanie. ''If They Only Knew'', 192–193.</ref>
;Ring rust: when a wrestler is out-of-practice, and thus more prone to [[#B|blow spots]], as a result of a long period away from wrestling.
;Road agent: (see [[#A|agent]])
;Roid Rage: paranoia, depression, and explosive outbursts caused by steroid use.<ref name=roid>{{cite web|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/more/06/25/wrestler.dead.ap/index.html?cnn=yes|title=WWE star killed family, self|author=Associated Press|publisher=SportsIllustrated.cnn.com|accessdate=2007-06-26|date=June 26, 2007}}</ref>
;Roids: slang phrase for steroids.<ref name=roid/> (See [[#G|gas]] and [[#J|juice]])
;Run-in: occurs when one or more individuals who are not actively participating in a match run into the ring.<ref name=torch/> Run-ins are almost always made by [[#H|heels]], typically to further a [[#F|feud]] with a [[#F|face]].<ref name=torch/> More often than not, a run-in will result in a "beatdown" in which the heel(s) pummel the face(s) until the script calls for the beating to stop, either from the heels' satisfaction with their handiwork, a retaliatory run-in by one or more faces, or (less often) the entrance of one or more authority figures (referees, [[#A|agents]], security personnel). Sometimes a run-in results from a face wanting to stop a heel from physically punishing a weaker opponent, usually to set up a feud.
;[[Rushed finish]]: when the end of a match is hurried, usually due to a botch, injury, or time constraints.


==S==
====Cebu====
*[[Balitang Bisdak]] - regional newscast of GMA Cebu
;Sandbag: to not cooperate with a [[Professional wrestling throws|throw]] and to act as dead weight, which makes the moves the wrestler is attempting much harder, if not impossible to pull off.<ref name=torch/> It's usually done in protest to something that the wrestler performing the move has done incorrectly earlier in the match, such as not protecting his/her opponent or working [[#S|stiff]].
*[[Buena Mano]] - regional morning show of GMA Cebu
;[[Screwjob (professional wrestling)|Screwjob]]: a match with a controversial or unsatisfying finish, often involving cheating or outside interference.<ref name=torch/>
*[[Eat na 'ta!]] - regional noontime show produced by GMA Entertainment Group for GMA Cebu
;[[Sell (professional wrestling)|Sell]]: reacting to an opponents attacks in a manner that suggests that the techniques are being applied at full-force.<ref name=torch/>
*[[Istayl Nato]] - regional lifestyle magazine show produced by GMA Entertainment Group for GMA Cebu
;[[Shoot (professional wrestling)|Shoot]]: any "real" event in the world or wrestling (as in "shoot interview").<ref name=torch/><ref name=only152/> (Compare "[[#W|worked shoot]]")
;[[Shooter (professional wrestling)|Shooter]]: a wrestler who has a background in legitimate fighting (originally [[catch wrestling]], now more often [[mixed martial arts]]), or otherwise has a reputation as a tough guy.<ref name=torch/> One notch below a "[[#H|hooker]]".
;[[Shootfighting]]: competitive full-contact mixed martial arts tournaments, used in comparison to the staged performances of [[professional wrestling]].
;Smark: a [[portmanteau word|portmanteau]] of "smart mark," a phrase coined by Internet smart marks to describe a fan who enjoys pro wrestling despite or because they know that it is staged.<ref name=torch/> (compare "[[#M|mark]]").
;Smart: someone who has inside information on the wrestling business.<ref name=torch/>
;[[sports entertainment|Sports Entertainment]]: a term coined by WWE to differentiate its product from traditional professional wrestling as an attempt to garner interest from a broader audience. It refers to the mix of wrestling, scripted storylines, and concepts which borrow from other forms of pop-culture entertainment.
;Spot: a preplanned move,<ref name=torch/> which is designed to get a particular audience reaction or determine the pace of the match. Spots can be anything from an Irish Whip at a certain time, to a series of spots, for example a succession of reversals. Wrestlers who choreograph their matches before the show will usually decide on an opening spot and an ending, as well as several spots to use throughout the match. The remainder of the match will be divided between transition moves and general offensive and defensive moves. (See "[[#H|high spot]]" and "[[#B|blown spot]]")
;Spotfest: a match which consists mainly or entirely of spots, normally with little flow between moves and no logical transitions. Referring to a match as a spotfest may have positive and negative connotations. A spotfest is normally a fast-paced, exciting match with constant displays of athleticism. When the term is used in a [[pejorative]] context, the match appears choreographed (for example, it may contain [[#S|Spot shuffles]], where wrestlers will put themselves in obvious danger). In addition, spotfests often contain many high risk moves (i.e. [[Professional wrestling aerial techniques|aerial maneuvers]]), and therefore endanger the health of the participants. Spotfests tend to be more common in [[cruiserweight (professional wrestling)|cruiserweight]] matches.
;Spot monkey: A wrestler who is well known for focussing very heavily on cramming as many high spots into a single match without regard to in-ring psychology. More commonly found working in Cruiserweight or extreme style matches.<ref>Wrestling Booker.com (2008) Retrieved on 2008-04-11</ref> It is mostly used as a [[pejorative]] term.
;[[Squash (professional wrestling)|Squash]]: an extremely one-sided match which is usually over quickly.<ref name=torch/>
;Stable: is a group of wrestlers within a [[professional wrestling promotion|promotion]] who have a common element -- friendships, either real or [[kayfabe|storyline]], a common [[manager (professional wrestling)|manager]], or a common storyline -- which puts them together as a unit. Stables can be small alliances of three to six wrestlers (such as [[D-Generation X]], [[Evolution (professional wrestling)|Evolution]], and [[Four Horsemen (professional wrestling)|The Four Horsemen]]), or supergroups that include up to half the promotion's talent roster (such as the [[New World Order (professional wrestling)|New World Order]], the [[The Alliance (professional wrestling)|WCW/ECW Alliance]], [[Planet Jarrett]], and [[Sports Entertainment Xtreme]]).
;Stiff: when a wrestler puts excessive force into his attacks or maneuvers on his opponent,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2005/05/28/1060761-sun.html|title=Torrie toughs it out on WWE circuit|author=Paul Turenne|publisher=Winnipeg Sun|accessdate=2007-11-22|date=May 28, 2005}}</ref> deliberately or accidentally.<ref name=torch/>
;Stooge: although this sometimes means "to tell on someone," it more often refers to a [[#H|heel]] wrestler booked in the position of underling associate of another heel.<ref name=torch/> The stooge will do his boss' dirty work,<ref name=torch/> such as getting [[#S|squashed]] in matches against a [[#F|face]] (with whom the heel has a feud) to set up a run-in (and subsequent beatdown) and future match.
;Strong Style: a Japanese-inspired professional wrestling style that is worked, yet aims to deliver realistic performances.<ref name=torch/> The style emphasizes stiff attacks and worked shoots.<ref name=torch/>
;Superhuman comeback: when one wrestler, usually a [[#F|face]], [[#N|no-sells]] his opponent's offense, usually after several minutes of being dominated.<ref name=torch/> This tactic usually sets up the finish and victory by the face wrestler. The most common example is [[Hulk Hogan]], and most recently [[John Cena]]
;Superstar: a term used by the WWF/WWE when talking about a wrestler instead of "wrestler". Recently TNA has somewhat coined the term as well.
;Swerve: a sudden change in the direction of a storyline to surprise the fans. Usually, but not always, it involves one wrestler [[#T|turning on]] an ally, often to join someone who had been a mutual enemy to that point. These swerves almost always lead to the start of a new [[feud (professional wrestling)|feud]] between the former friends. Another kind of swerve is when a booker does everything in their power to convince the fans that something specific is going to happen at a show or someone they're expecting is going to debut (or come back), only to then do something completely different. It is sometimes the result of a false report by a wrestler to the press.<ref name=torch/>
;Spike: A term used for variations which target the neck and shoulders [Ex.:Vertical Suplex Powerbomb - '''Spike Vertical Suplex Powerbomb''' (Variation performed by Kenta Kobashi where he didn't push the opponents as far out, so they landed on their neck and shoulders instead of their back.)]

;[[Tag team]]: a pair of superstars working together in a tag team match (a match which pits two or more teams of wrestlers against one another).
*[[Istayl Nato]] - regional lifestyle magazine show produced by GMA Entertainment Group for GMA Davao
;Tap out: submitting to a submission maneuver by tapping on the mat. In [[kayfabe]], it indicates that a wrestler is giving up because the submission maneuver they are in is too painful.<ref name=only152>Laurer, Joanie. ''If They Only Knew'', 152.</ref>
*[[Una Ka BAI! (Balita At Ibapa)]] - regional morning show of GMA Davao
;Three-count: a [[Pin (professional wrestling)|pinfall]].
;Titantron''' or simply '''Tron: a screen which is directly above the stage area of the arena used for showing entrance videos, other segments, and promos. Based on the naming convention of [[Sony]]'s well-known [[JumboTron]], a large video screen used primarily in stadiums, arenas, and other public venues, the TitanTron was introduced as part of WWE's ''Raw'' set and was named after the then-parent company of the World Wrestling Federation, Titan Sports. The -tron suffix has since been used to unofficially identify other big screens used in wrestling.
;Transitional champion: a holder of a traditionally-short title reign which bridges two "eras", long-running title reigns by usually-popular champions.
;Turn: when a wrestler switches from face to heel or vice versa.<ref name=torch/>
:;Hard turn: is when a wrestler becomes a heel or face in a sudden surprise plot twist ([[#S|swerve]]).
:;Soft turn: is a gradual switch to heel or face over an extended period of time.
;Tweener: a morally ambiguous wrestler, neither a bad guy or good guy (an inbe''tweener''), <ref name=torch/> who will fight anyone regardless of alignment (e.g. [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] and [[Triple H]]). This term is also used to describe wrestlers who use tactics typically associated with heels (e.g., cheating), yet are still cheered by fans in spite of (or because of) these antics(e.g. [[Eddie Guerrero]] and [[Ric Flair]]).
;Two-and-a-half count: the count at which a wrestler is said to escape from a pinfall when a referee's hand comes very close to hitting the mat for a three-count. Other fractions are sometimes used for exaggeration or comedic effect--two and three quarters, two and seven eighths, etc.
