Mind your P's and Q's, well at least mind your P's because today is all about the letter P. Now who knew Pearl Harbor was actually a wrestling term. Read on you may surprise yourself with your knowledge!
# Paper, to give away a great number of free (comped) tickets to increase the size of the crowd for publicity.
# Paying Dues, the concept that newer or younger wrestlers must be punished in the early parts of their careers, both in and out of the ring (see "job" and "rib").
# Pearl Harbor, a sneak attack, usually before the bell rings to officially start a match; can also denote a sneak attack by one or more non-participants, or blindside attacks by managers or valets. Coined by commentator Gorilla Monsoon.
# Phantom bump, when a wrestler or referee takes a bump even though the move they are selling was visibly botched or otherwise not present.
# Pillmanize, when a wrestler "breaks" the bone of another wrestler by placing it between the seat and backrest of a closed folding chair and jumping on the chair. The technique was originally used on Brian Pillman's ankle by Stone Cold Steve Austin in a 1996 feud.
# Pillowstrikes, kicks and punches which don't look like they carry any impact.
