As part of my continuing educational series on wrestling terminology I bring to you the letter F. Again my thanks to the folks at Wikipedia for these definitions. If you want to investigate a more detailed list of terms check out "Professional Wrestling Slang" on Wikipedia.
Todays Terms:
False finish, a spot which the audience expects to finish the match but the wrestler kicks out or makes it to the ropes, used to build excitement during the home stretch.
Fan cam, a video of a wrestling event taped by a member in the audience.
Fan Favorite, alternative name for Face often used in magazines like PWI.
The Federation, an alternative slang name for World Wrestling Entertainment, referring to its past days as the World Wrestling Federation and refusal of calling the company the former.
Feeding, the heel's role during a babyface comeback where he runs at the babyface only to be repeatedly fended off, with the hope that the series of bumps by the heel will generate positive fan heat for the babyface. A babyface could also feed the heel in hopes of generating fan sympathy.Could also refer to providing an opponent with a body part to perform a move, i.e. feeding an opponent the arm so they can perform an armbar.
