Do the Germans have a word for “schadenfreude”?

By Scott Keith on 22 August 2021

Not a reader e-mail, but just to reference something from the Summerslam thread this morning because think we need a new word in our wrestling vocabulary. It’s the word for that feeling you get when you’re watching a PPV that you thought was only going 3 hours, and you just saw a great match that should close the show, but you look at the clock and you’re already three hours into the show and there’s still another hour left, and you remember there’s still a Goldberg match to come, and Miz comes out to talk about his dripstick for 10 minutes and your soul leaves your body.

Do the Germans have a word for that? Because I think we need one for it.
