So many D terms to choose from and so little time to learn them all. These are some that struck me as useful for you to know. If you have a burning desire to know them all check out Wikipedia for a complete list.
# Daydreaming, A term used to refer to someone laying down for the pin.
# Dead weight , when a wrestler goes limp in the middle of a move. This could be done intentionally, either to make his opponent look weak or just rib him, or unintentionally because the "dead weight" wrestler is unfamiliar with the cooperation needed to pull off a particular wrestling hold (or just not paying attention). An example of unintentional dead weight would be Hulk Hogan's body slam on Zeus during the 1989 Survivor Series where Hogan had to rely entirely on his own strength to lift the relatively untrained Zeus. See also Sandbag.
# The Deal, another term for title belt.
# Dirtsheet, a newsletter, magazine, or website that portrays wrestling as scripted entertainment, rather than portraying it as a sport. Dirtsheets often offer backstage information and gossip about wrestlers and others involved in wrestling.
# Diva, generally synonymous with valet, but can refer to any woman involved in wrestling, either as "eye candy" or as a wrestler. This term originated from WWE. See also Superstar.
