undercard
n.— «Donofrio, who had back surgery Monday for injuries he traces in part to wrestling, said, “If you’re an undercard guy, if you don’t work, you don’t eat. That’s the shame of the business. You talk about the biggest complaint of the guys: There’s no union, no insurance. If you get hurt, you’re on your own. You hit a nerve there.”» —“Wrestler’s rampage hints at demons in profession” by Hal Habib, Carlos Frías Palm Beach Post (Florida) June 28, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
