13 WWE terms that will change the way you see pro wrestling

We already explained why the perception that the WWE is "fake" is very misguided. It's an elaborate theatrical production that incorporates the talents of hundreds of skilled performers, producers and technicians. And there's much more to the product than meets the eye.
