Meatball (wrestler)

In professional wrestling, "Meatball" is a derogatory term used to describe a wrestler who is perceived as lacking in skill, athleticism, or charisma. The term implies that the wrestler is bulky and primarily relies on size and strength rather than technical ability or performance skills.

The term is often applied to wrestlers who are seen as being primarily hired for their imposing physique rather than their wrestling prowess. A "Meatball" wrestler might be criticized for being slow, clumsy, or unable to execute complex maneuvers. They may also be seen as lacking in promo skills, failing to connect with the audience on a personal level.

The use of "Meatball" is subjective and often considered insulting. What one person deems a lack of skill, another may see as a distinct and effective wrestling style. The term can also be used as a form of locker room ribbing or as part of a storyline to denigrate an opponent. However, it typically carries a negative connotation, suggesting a wrestler is not deserving of their position or success.
