Vince McMahon's list of banned words is certainly an interesting one. The WWE Chairman has banned several words related to the business, and the term 'wrestler' was one of them. Vince McMahon created his own unique lingo for his company, to set itself apart from other promotions. Addressing the fans as the 'WWE Universe', and dubbing wrestlers as 'WWE Superstars' were just one of several rules that he made.

Last year, a fan took to Twitter and asked wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer whether WWE had done the impossible, as he had been noticing several wrestlers use the term 'wrestler', and not Superstars. Meltzer simply responded with a 'yes'. Then-WWE Superstar Cash Wheeler responded to Meltzer's tweet and hinted that he was responsible for Vince McMahon unbanning the word. Vince McMahon had received lots of criticism over banning of pro wrestling lingo that had been a part of the business for decades on end, and it's refreshing to see that many of those words are being brought back in use.
