Former WWE Superstars like Steve Austin and Chris Jericho (both still on the WWE payroll) host popular podcasts where they dissect the behind-the-scenes aspects of the business.

If you pay attention, you'll pick up a unique style of lingo that comprises many conversations between people who actually work or have worked for WWE. Here are 13 terms that will enlighten you about the inner-workings behind what you see on the screen.
