LOL! I was having the same thoughts. I like the title ripper or crippler.

Crippler is also a good title, but a little too violent for me. It's like calling someone "Bone-crusher"

The term's been around so long, Even if we did change it, people would still use the old term anyway..lol
When Karl Gotch used to come down to the wrestling school, everybody would wince, cause they know they were gonna get stretched. Maybe we should change the term to"this Gotch guy is gonna leave a mark on me"..lol
John

I would be very ok with being called a "Gotch-Cha style" wrestler :)~

Hm, locksmith is clever. Yeah, "hooker" is not so good lol. Some argue that Thesz may have coined the term himself. How about simply Hook Wrestler?

If a person is a "hooker" than does that mean the one getting hooked is a "John"?

It sounds like we need to setup some sort of poll to decide. What do you think Mr. Shannon?

LOL, I am not so sure democracy and polls will change much. But feel free to vote here (by posting)!
