10 Phrases that WWE commentators are banned from using

#3 "Hospital"

We've seen many times in WWE where superstars have faced beatdowns and were taken away in an ambulance into a hospital (in kayfabe). However, WWE makes sure that the announcers never use the word "hospital", and this is for a good reason.

Reportedly, during a live show, a WWE superstar was kayfabe injured and taken to the hospital. A bunch of fans had frantically called the local hospitals to see if the superstar was admitted. To ensure that this never happened again, Vince McMahon ordered that commentators begin using the term "local medical facility", a practice that's followed to date.

#2 "He/She"

Admittedly, WWE is a bit more liberal on this, so it isn't outright banned. However, commentators are discouraged from saying "he" or "she". Rather, they're told to refer to the superstar by name for effect.

Why that's the case, go figure!

#1 "Feud"

While WWE fans love using the word "feud" to describe a storyline between two competitors going at each other, WWE certainly doesn't! They prefer to use the word "rivalry" instead.
