Maybe... Skin Game to me is talking about Goodman Grey tricking Nicodemus. Does it mean that to other people?
one of the definitions for slam is prison... Body prison could have a meaning I'd think.
Mpol:
Dual meaning to the title perhaps? Maybe the environment where the gods wrestle is like a prison of sorts? And we are dealing with an outcast of gods?

I can't ever think of a time I've ever heard "slam" refer to prison. "Slammer", on the other hand...
Whatever the case, I'm sure that whatever the secret meaning to the title is will be so specific that every theory we make will be completely wrong.

Oooh, Mayhaps they are stuck being embodied by weakling wrestlers just to survive in reality, a Body Slam :o

If heard it as "Tossed in the Slam" before, similar in usage to "in lockup" or "the Pen". It's definitely a slang term, not sure if its regional or anything more specific
