"worked"[edit]

What an odd use of the word. "Contrived" or "choreographed", maybe. Is that UK slang of some kind? "Worked"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.88.11.121 (talk) 04:56, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Worked" is a professional wrestling term for "performed". The term is wikilinked to Glossary of professional wrestling terms#W so I'm sure you could have looked it up if you wanted.
Terms such as Contrived etc have pejorative implications which are liable to cause offence among wrestlers. "Choregraphed" is misleading since until relatively recently (say, the late 1990s in the USA) the art of working a match was seen to lie in the ability to improvise an exciting wrestling exhibition from the barest bones of predetermined content (a result, quite often a finish and perhaps one or two other "high spots" in a match.) 62.190.148.115 (talk) 16:05, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
