Darthtiki 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2005 So I'm in a group communications class which covers public speaking and the teacher mentioned as one of our prep assignments we'll have to stand up and recite a quote, so I figured I'd pick the collective brain of the board to come up with something. Also, in this class there is a guy named Jerry Lawler...god I wish I was joking here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ransome Report post Posted August 31, 2005 How long does the quote have to be? Two obvious great wrestling quotes would be Ric Flair's post-RR victory speech (on the Flair DVD) and Paul Heyman's pre-SS 2001 rant against Vince McMahon (transcript is pretty readily available on the net, very long though). Although, given how obscure these wrestling quotes would be to the general public, how would the teacher grade you on them? Like, if the teacher has never heard them how would he/she know you're reciting them correctly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MideonMark Report post Posted August 31, 2005 Might be a bit long to recite as a quote but anyway, the greatest wrestling quote in history- "Intense pain is a wonderful thing, Gene Okerlund. Your life flashes before your eyes, things that are the most important to you become crystal clear. You start to begin to learn the meaning of life. Last week when they stuffed me in that ambulance and I looked across and I saw Flair, Sting, Woman, Bagwell and myself, I realized that we were people brought together not by philosophy, but by necessity. And I started to think, new world order, new world order, where have I heard that? And I remembered in the Good Book it says, 'When the new world order is put into place it signals the beginning of the end of time.' Well, WCW is our world, it's where we live and breathe. And if you want to destroy it, Hogan and The Outsiders, you've already made a mistake that jumps off the page. If you're gonna take a baseball bat to a Horseman, finish the job. Because there's one rule of gang fighting. See, we are the original gang and we're the most vicious in all of professional wrestling history. They send one of yours to the hospital, you send two of theirs to the morgue.'' Arn F'n Anderson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two obvious great wrestling quotes would be Ric Flair's post-RR victory speech (on the Flair DVD) and Paul Heyman's pre-SS 2001 rant against Vince McMahon (transcript is pretty readily available on the net, very long though). Although, given how obscure these wrestling quotes would be to the general public, how would the teacher grade you on them? Like, if the teacher has never heard them how would he/she know you're reciting them correctly? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ""In just a few moments, at my leisure, I will call Vince McMahon out on HIS ring, in front of HIS public, on a television show that is owned by HIS grand company....At least that is...until this Sunday at Survivor Series. I know how much you appreciate what Shane, Stephanie and I have done, how Shane Stephanie and I have stood up to the tyranny of Vince McMahon and how this Sunday, the WWF will die. But don't blame me for that...it's not my fault. I am not the one who lifts up my leg...and pees all over the memory of Bruno Sammartino. I am not the one who desecrated the memory of Superstar Billy Graham. And I am not the one who ruined everything that was accomplished by Stone Cold Steve Austin. (The crowd was not taking this well, as the crowd was booing, and A**hole chants were breaking out throughout the promo) You see, at Survivor Series, it means so much more than the personalities that are involved, it's about ending what Vince McMahon has tried to accomplish. I sat there at that desk on Monday and I listened to Mick Foley and I agreed with everything that Mick Foley had to say! That the WWF truly does suck! (Crowd boos) Don't boo me....have you watched the TV show lately? Vince Mcmahon has lost his mind. The man does not have it anymore. He is a has-been, his ideas are (outdated), his concepts are draconian, and Mick Foley was right... because the WWF is imploding from within. Like every great empire the WWF is imploding from within. Vince's loyal employees, like Stone Cold and Mick Foley who want nothing to do with him, like his Children who want him to burn in hell...and I don't blame them. Vince McMahon will see the WWF die this Sunday at Survivor Series, and he has no hope to save his precious company. Vince has the same chances of saving the WWF as he did of realizing his dream of starting his own football league. (At this time, Vince McMahon came out. He walked to the ring with a steeled look on his face. Paul Heyman was on his knees bowing as he walked down the ramp. When Vince got in the ring, he just stood there and continued to listed to Paul.) Heyman continued. I want you to know, that I was down on my knees, as I know you are used to men kissing your ass Vinny. Every time you walk in the back....There is Patterson and Brisco saying, "What a great idea Vince!" (Making kissing sounds at Vince's backside). You like men kissing your ass, don't you Vince. Because that's what you are all about...A Billionaire! The Billionaire, Vince McMahon, the Creator of Sports Entertainment. (Gets up in his face). I have waited SO long to say this to your face....I hate your stinking guts Vince. But it's not just me Vince. It's your children that hate your stinking guts, and at Survivor Series your children are going to do to you, what I have waited so long to see somebody do to you Vince. You are...so help me god....the most vile, disgusting, son of a bitch that I have ever seen in my life. (Vince winces, and the crowd boos louder) You took Hulk Hogan's blood, and you built Titan Towers. You stole Bret Hart's dream, and with that money you built yourself an airplane and put the WWF all over it. You did that, and you KNOW it you son of a bitch! You stole Shawn Michaels smile, took your company public, and made yourself a billionaire. But not a self made billionaire like you like to tell everyone...Oh NO. You made yourself a billionaire through other peoples hard work. Your Father, Vince McMahon went around the country shaking every promoters hand saying, "I will never compete with you." And when your father died...you competed. And with your ruthless, merciless, take no prisoners attitude, you drove everybody out of business...didn't you Vince? You ran all the competition into the ground, and you stole all their ideas...and you made yourself a billionaire out of it. And you know who's ideas you stole the most Vince? you stole MINE!! See I don't give a damn about Don Owen, and Sam Mushnick, and Jim Crockett. I just care about what you did to me and my family. How you stole my dreams and my legacy, and you stole everything that ECW represented. Because while Doink the Clown had green hair and a rubber nose.....Stone Cold Steve Austin was drinking his first beer in ECW DAMN YOU." While Bobby Heenen and Gene Okerland were dancing around and signing "Tutti Fruity", ECW was producing the edgy TV that you named "Attitude". What you got is my ideas, and you stole MY life, MY money, and MY LEGACY!! (Heyman takes off his hat and screams.) SCREW YOU!! SCREW YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!! And I will tell you something...you own children hate your guts and on Sunday, they will get even with you for everything that you stole from me...for everything that you stole from them. You flaunt your affairs in front of your wife, you flaunt your affairs in Playboy for your children to read...You BASTARD! Look at TAZZ! (pointing to Tazz at the booth). This man was a killer!! He was a machine. He was a "Wrestler"....a real man. But wrestling is a dirty word to you, isn't it Vince? you father built a wrestling company, and you...you had to have "Sports Entertainment" (Still pointing to Tazz). He was a wrestler. He was a great wrestler..he was a MAN. And now, he is a fat, little, obnoxious color commentator. And not even a GOOD one. He is a "Sports entertainer" He is not a wrestler, because you made wrestling a dirty word. What kind of a man are you"? (At this point, Tazz removes his headset and heads into the ring to a big pop.) "What kind of a man takes wrestling, and makes it Sports Entertainment? At Survivor Series, you're going down. You're going down Vince, and I'm going to watch it...and your children are going to stand over your grave Vince...and we are going to laugh. And there is not a damn thing you can do about it.....I'm feeling good about this...." (Tazz has heard enough, and puts the Tazzmission on Heyman, choking him out. Vince grabs the Microphone) -- The Paul Heyman promo prior to Survivor Series 2001. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest *KNK* Report post Posted September 2, 2005 Speaking of Punk, this one would be gold. "Raven, the reason I hate you, the reason, in my heart of hearts, why I hate you, is because I didn't know any better when I was a little kid, when my dad came home smelling like beer. I thought it was a hard day's work he was doing, I didn't realize he was out at the bar, I didn't realize "work" meant unemployment office. I didn't think it was strange for somebody to come home from work and have to take an Old Style, up it in the shower, while they showered. I didn't think it was strange for somebody to pass out. I thought an Old Style, a pack a day, was the norm. Raven, my father is exactly like you. And since day one in Ring of Honor, where fighting spirit is supposed to be revered, things aren't supposed to be this way. I'd shake your hand, like a normal man, but see the truth is I don't respect you! I hate you! I hate you for everything you've pissed away, everything I scraped and I've clawed for, that I haven't even earned yet, that you got handed to you and you flushed down a toilet! For what?! For pills?! For booze?! For alcohol, for women?! I am born of your poisoned society, so, on seventeenth of July, I will become a monster to fight the monsters of the world. And your time in Ring of Honor will be done! And that is a promise, because this is true! This is real! This is Straight Edge!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anderson is definitely underrated on promos and wrestling wise b/c he was always second fiddle to Flair. However, this ranks as one of the best promos I've ever seen. I'd suggest Hogan's crazy WM IV promo as well or Roberts WM VI promo. Roberts' is awesome (surprise, surprise) and Hogan's is like "WTF?!?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
