You thought I misspelled "Rasslin" didn't you? Well, it is a recognized term in the world of wrestling. Read on if you don't believe me! I dare you to call Vince McMahon on it , I just dare you!
# Rasslin', the Southern United States style and way of pronouncing "wrestling". Supposedly used by Ted Turner in a phone call to Vince McMahon to announce he had entered the wrestling business.
# Receipt, seeking revenge against another wrestler when after that person put too much force into his attacks or maneuvers on his opponent, deliberately or accidentally.
# Ref bump, when the referee for a match is intentionally knocked out, generally to allow outside interference, usage of an illegal weapon, or outright "cheating".
# Repackage, to completely change a wrestler's gimmick, going beyond a simple face or heel turn. Usually, wrestlers are taken off of TV for a period of time before being repackaged. Other times wrestlers are repackaged quickly, on TV, by simply acting differently.
# Rest hold, a hold applied more lightly at a designated point in a match in order to save energy (eg chinlocks).
