Catchphrases that never caught on

Recommended Posts

Ever since the advent of promos, certain wrestlers have had trademark words or lines that they try to include in most promos. Sayings like "Whatcha gonna do, when Hulkamania runs wild on you," "And that's the bottom line," and "Do you smell what the Rock is cooking" were wildly successful. Unfortunately, some wrestlers experimented with new phrases that weren't so popular and were quickly abandoned. Some continued to use their horrible lines. What are you're thoughts on the worst catchphrases ever?

 

Shawn Michaels - "Neeeeeeeew world heavyweight champion"

Sting - "It's showtime"

Rock - "Shut up juice"

"How ya like me now"-Hardcore Holly

 

 

"And that's the last word"-Big Show

 

 

Rock's one catchphrase..."How ya lips feel?" or something like that.

Yeah, he was great as the Big Shot. His first month or so with Crash was cool too.

 

As for catchphrases,

 

Tazz-"Thug life born, thug life bred and when I die I'll be thug life dead"

"What?"

Not under the 'never caught on' category, obviously. At it's core, it was magnificent, one of the greatest catchphrases ever. Then it was destroyed so utterly from overuse that it became one of the worst. It's really only suited for a super heel characterization as well. In a few years when nobody remembers it anymore, I'm going to start using it for myself.

The funniest What moment was probably when Undertaker tricked the crowd into saying they slept with their sisters.

 

 

 

A chant that never caught on...Thank God.

 

"You are...an asshole!"

 

Who could forget...the GREATEST CATCHPHRASE EVER!!!!

 

"Tag." Ok, so it really isn't a phrase, but DEAR GOD IT WAS FUNNY.

Right before Austin started doing "What?" incessantly, he had his paranoid character saying "My name is Stone Cold Steve Austin, and I am the World Wrestling Federation Champion" all the time. I felt it was good, since that's all he cared about. Then he started the "What?" and it went downhill.

More like a funny line, because it wasn't really a catchphrase...

 

"I'm gonna lay the smackdown, on his crippled ass!"

 

 

Anytime someone used Rock's catchphrases sucked.

Headbangers: "And if you're not down with that, we got two words for ya. YOU SUCK!"

 

Headbangers kicked ass. I miss those guys.

 

TAKA: "Because we are eeeeeeevilllllll..."

Funaki: "Indeeeeeeeed."

 

With the exception of a few signs in the crowd and some squash matches that never did much for them, I loved it.
