More terms you need to know. We should have everyone up to speed by the end of this series. Maybe some competition is in order to test your knoweldge? I will try to come up with a quiz on these terms just for fun!
# Gaijin, an American, or other foreign worker in Japanese promotions. (Not a wrestling term, as it is a Japanese word for a foreigner.)
# Garbage Wrestling, "hardcore" matches or extremely spot heavy matches wherein wrestlers use nothing but weaponry or highly planned out spots to attack each other, also outrageous gimmick matches that have no obvious elements of traditional in-ring competition. The term was coined by Giant Baba of All Japan Pro-Wrestling when he referred to Atsushi Onita's FMW promotion (which used barbed wire and other such dangerous implements) as "garbage." The term later evolved to encompass spotfests as well.
# Gas, steroids (see also juice and roids). Also, stamina (as in out of gas, when a wrestler is tired and unable to perform properly)
# Gate, amount of money generated from ticket sales. Merchandise sales are often a part of "the gate".
# Geek, to cut oneself.
# Get the tights, grabbing the opponent's upper part of the trousers or shorts, or the lower part of the shirt or tank top in order to get the pin.
# Gig, the blade a wrestler uses to cut himself.
# Gig mark, A scar from blading.
