| Work |
|
(noun) Simply put, wrestling is a work because it is fake but it tries to lead people to believe that it is real. While a shoot is real, everything else in wrestling is a work.
|
|
| Worked Shoot |
|
(noun) An angle that is made to look so incredibly realistic that people will think that it is actually a shoot. Often the people involved in a worked shoot will break character in order to make it look like whatever event just happened wasn’t part of the script. These angles are often done to appeal to the smart fans.

| Worker |
|
(noun) Wrestlers are said to "work" a match and are thus called "workers". The more talented they are, the better a "worker" they are considered. As a match progresses, it is possible to separate the match into "action" and "inaction" portions. When the wrestlers are doing something that's the action, and when they're in a resthold or lying on the mat after a double-knockout or whatever, that's the inaction. The ratio of action to inaction is the workrate. A wrestler whose matches have lots of action and a minimum of resting has good workrate, and a wrestler who spends the entire match in a reverse chinlock has bad workrate.
