Guest oldschoolwrestling Report post Posted February 14, 2002 A few columns back, Lance Storm ripped into the fans for using "What" too often. Well this is from his latest column: The winner of an Olympic Gold medal was predetermined, arranged, WORKED. WHAT! I said, “WORKED” WHAT!! I still enjoy watching Figure Skating but after these recent events, it raises the question could Pro-Wrestling be added as an Olympic event. WHAT! I said “Olympic Event! WHAT!! Say it isn't so Lance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Army Eye Report post Posted February 15, 2002 shrug, what's the problem. Lance has said that he LIKES the What stuff, he just doesn't appreciate when the fans do it during every single heel promo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Galactic Gigolo Report post Posted February 15, 2002 Am I the only one who thinks that using "What?" is really lame when it's done in writing. I mean come on, it's really lame. What? I said it's really lame. See. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Greg Report post Posted February 15, 2002 He enjoys watching figure skating? I just lost some respect for Storm. He didn't just watch figure skating, he watched CANADIAN figure skating. Greg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ratboy Report post Posted February 16, 2002 Yes, I'd think Canadians are more likely to watch anything involving ice skates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Galactic Gigolo Report post Posted February 16, 2002 Yes, I'd think Canadians are more likely to watch anything involving ice skates. I remember the line from the South Park movie where Kyle's Mom asked if they expected them to be afraid of their hockey sticks or something similar to that. "You Canadians are all the same with your beady eyes and flapping heads." "Hey, hey. I find that racist. Mam, you are a racist." And then later on... "But it's destroying our children..." "Mam, can I finish? Can I finish? (pause) Okay, I'm finished." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BookerTman Report post Posted February 17, 2002 I don't know about you, but I think this is the most ANNOYING catchphrase since Lawler laid his eyes on a woman's chest.

Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted February 17, 2002 I didn't mind austin using WHAT when he was a parnoid heel but now t just makes me want to change the channel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BlackRainbow1025 Report post Posted February 17, 2002 Exactly, when heel Austin used it to annoy the fans it was funny. Now with ALL the crowd saying it, most of the time for no reason, like when Angle is talking, it's just bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Army Eye Report post Posted February 17, 2002 When will they get sick of saying "what"? WILL THEY? Or will it become timeless, like the Flair "Whooo!" whenever someone hits a chop. This is what keeps me up at night. I don't even like it during Austin's promos. he doesn't do good promos anymore, it's all just filler for the crowd to get their "what" fix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest HoffmanHBK Report post Posted February 17, 2002 Austin cuts teriffic promos. He tells a story, usually humorous. The Beverly Hilbillies, his beer belly, his "addiction"...then, he spins it around to promote his upcoming match. He creates interest. And, at times, he even works the "what" chants into his promos. I'd say Austin is cutting some of the best promos in the biz. Makes sense, as he always has. Does the "what" really add anything? No, but it doesn't hurt either, and Austin is ridiculously over, which is what the WWF is going for. To borrow a line from DDP, Austin's promo's arent a bad thing, they're a good thing.

Guest The Vanilla Midget Report post Posted February 17, 2002 When will they get sick of saying "what"? WILL THEY? i think they are already starting to get sick of "what." it is now only used really during austin and angle promos, which is a desired effect, and i think it would be forgotten even quicker when these 2 stop using gaps in their promos for the chant. i think that once the wwf decides not to use it anymore, "what" will probably last for about a month.

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted February 17, 2002 About watching Canadian figure skating: When all of that controversy hit about the Canadian team getting the silver...it occured to me that the canadian figure skating chick was FREAKING HOT. I wish that I had been watching Canadian figure skating. Thankfully the controversy allowed me to see the routine several times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
