Today is Dedicated to the letter B

These are terms you should know for the letter B. We have reached the end of the alphabet. This posts you will find do not contain every term but definitely enough to get you up to speed!

# B-Show, a wrestling event featuring the middle and lower-level talent of a wrestling promotion. (WWE Velocity and HEAT, TNA Xplosion, WCW Saturday Night)
# B-Team, group of wrestlers on a B-Show. Frequently, the B-Team will compete at a different venue the same night wrestlers on the A-Team are competing in a different event elsewhere, although a promotion will sometimes schedule an event with B-Team wrestlers to test a new market. See also A-Team.
# Babyface (or face or baby), a good guy (compare "tweener" and "heel")
# Backyard wrestling, the act of staging pro-style wrestling (not to be confused with sport wrestling or amateur wrestling) as a hobby rather than a job, usually (but not always) by untrained performers, predominantly teenagers. The term can also be used for an independent promotion that has very little, if any notability.
# Bait and Switch, When a promoter teases the fans into believing one thing is going to happen and switches to something else resulting in shock and surprise (best-case scenario) or confusion and disappointment (worst-case scenario).
# Batman match, alternate term for a very poorly executed match, with blown spots and showing light. This term takes its name from the 1966-1968 ABC-TV series, which featured bizarre and deliberately silly fight scenes with comical choreography.
# Beat down, when a wrestler or other performer is given a massive beating, usually by a group of wrestlers.
