Today is Dedicated to the letter I

Here is all you need to know about I. We are getting to the end of the alphabet I promise. We haven't covered every term but there are enough that even a novice wrestling fan will have a good handle on most terms.

* Indy, short for "independent promotion", refers to a wrestling group that is too small to compete on a national level.
* International Object, a 1980s alternate term for "foreign object" during a time when Ted Turner had a policy on his networks that no one was to use the word "foreign", but instead "international". Wrestling announcers on TBS picked up on this, and a foreign object is still occasionally, jokingly, called an "international object".
* International Spot, A spot generally used at the start of a match.
* Internet wrestling community (or IWC), fans (often smarks) who talk about professional wrestling via the Internet.
