I was watching the Best of Sting Blu Ray and one of the announcers from the 1980s kept pronouncing the word suplex as "suplay".
Is that the correct pronunciation of the word? Did announcers just begin butchering it so much in the 90s that the term suplex is now only pronounced as "suplex"?
I know Wikipedia is not an acceptable source for journals, but..."In Olympic and amateur wrestling there exists a move called a suplay, a Greco-Roman wrestling term. During his career, pro wrestling commentator Gordon Solie used the soo-play pronunciation[1] (as have the AWA's Rod Trongard and Terry Taylor), but almost all other pro wrestling talent pronounces it sue-plex; this suggests the two names define the same kind of move. The origin of the word suplex is Latin sub "under" and plexus "an intricate network or web-like formation".[citation needed]" (Wikipedia - Suplex).
So, should it be vertical suplex or vertical suplay? Belly to belly suplex or belly to belly suplay?
