Today is Dedicated to the letter O

Ooooo my so very many things to learn about O! If you had any questions about the "Outlaw Rule" this should steer you in the right direction. I hadn't made the connection about the New Age Outlaws until today - duh! I just wasn't thinking to clearly on that note.

* Opposition Promotion, a promotion set up in an established promoter's area with the intent to oust the established promoter. The idea of Opposition Promotions has mostly died out along with territorial wrestling promotions.

* Over, refers to a wrestler being popular and accepted by the fans.

* Over-book, to book a finish to a match that involves either interference from a large number of wrestlers who are not involved in the actual match or some other unneeded extra curriculars (i.e. destroying the ring). (Compare "clusterfuck")

* Over-sell, showing too much of a reaction to another wrestler's offense.

* Outlaw rule, a rule stating that in a four-way tag team match (where anyone is allowed to tag anyone else) partners on the same team can't pin each other. Named for the New Age Outlaws, who once simply pinned each other to win a match.
