Work

A work is anything in wrestling that is planned or scripted, for the sake of entertainment. It is the opposite of shoot.

A shoot is the exact opposite of work. It is when an event deviates from a scripted plan and goes into a self-directed attempt to attack another talent or when a wrestler makes candid, unapproved comments during an interview.
