Spot (professional wrestling)
The Television & Movie Wiki: for TV, celebrities, and movies.
In professional wrestling, a spot is a pre-planned set of moves which is designed to get a particular audience reaction or determine the pace of the match.
Wrestlers who choreograph their matches before the show will usually decide on an opening spot and a take home spot, as well as several spots to use throughout the match. The remaineder of the match will be divided between transition moves and general offensive and defensive moves.
A spotfest refers to a match which consists mainly or entirely of spots, normally with little flow between moves and no logical transitions. A spotfest is normally a fast-paced, exciting match with constant displays of athleticism, but many fans regard spotfests as poorly structured. In addition, spotfests often contain many high risk moves, and therefore endanger the health of the participants. A spotfest will often include a large number of high-flying moves.
