An abortion happens when the fan start losing interest in a feud or gimmick. Screen writers then begin making new story lines and plots to make the fans satisfied.
2. The top group of superstars on a given wrestling show are grouped into a team. What is this team called?

Answer: A-Team

A-Team stars usually fill up Pay Per View cards and main event matches on shows such as WWE's "RAW" and "Smackdown".
3. Would Vince McMahon be put into the top group of superstars in the 1980s?

Answer: No

Of course Vince wouldn't be a top group (A-Team) superstar. He never even wrestled a main event match in the 1980s. A-Team superstars of today would be John Cena, Rey Mysterio, Sabu, or AJ Styles.
4. An agent helps wrestlers obtain matches. Most of them know what to do because agents are mostly whom?

Answer: Wrestling Veterans

Veterans such as Dean Malenko are top agents. They know how to book matches and which ones will pull top ratings.
5. Which of the following is a camera technique that makes wrestlers look bigger than they are?

Answer: Andre Shot

This was named after the late, great Andre the Giant. He usually stood on phone books during back stage interviews. The Andre Shot is done when the superstar stands on something or stands near somebody shorter than them during an interview.
6. In what years did WWE's Attitude Era stride?

Answer: 1997-2001

During this year the WWE got more graphic and featured more adult content. Superstars such as Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock had their best moments in this era.
7. TNA "Impact" would be considered an A-Show.

Answer: True

A-Shows are those which draw high ratings. WWE's are "Raw" and "Smackdown" and TNA's is "Impact". When WCW was still around, "Nitro" was their top show.
8. A fictional storyline can also be called an what?

Answer: angle

An example of an angle would be Lita being pregnant and losing her child in the Kane-Lita rivalry. She never was pregnant, but the fans followed the storyline.
9. Who was the main writer of the old apter magazines?

Answer: Bill Apter

These magazines poked fun at wrestling. They said that wrestling was all staged and none of it was real. Apter had a passion for getting out his opinion.
10. An apter magazine gave its opinion that wrestling was not staged.

Answer: False

Ironically, Bill Apter, the founder, is now a writer for Pro Wrestling Illustrated. An apter magazine is the exact oposite of this magazine. Well I hope you enjoyed the A part of the series. Look out for B!
