Favorite Wrestler sayings and quotes.....


fusionfreak

Recommended Posts

What are some of you favorite words from the mouths of grapplers, high flyers, technicians, managers, announcers, color commentators and owners and promoters. As long as there in the wrestling, rastlin or sports entertainment business (or whatever else the label might be) what are your favorite quotes, sayings, statements, etc.

 

Also, be sure to include who said it if you know. Maybe some background history too.

 

One of my favorites comes from the announcer/commentator side of things. I'm not sure who first said it and who it was first said about but I always find it funny when they say, "Wow, he's got muscles in places that most people don't even have places." One of those things that's so chessy it's funny.

Thanks for posting that. I've always had neautral feelings on CM Punk but that makes me like him alot now. I love seeing good heels. I wish he could do stuff like that in WWE. Don't get me wrong, I think PG wrestling is great for tv and the kids but it gets a little old to me.</p>

<p>Gotta go with the entire promo to do it justice.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25360" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Isn't this the prettiest little thing you've ever seen? It was over a year ago I held this belt high in the air after I fought for it for the first time in Dayton, Ohio against Samoa Joe and I proclaimed this belt the most important thing to me. Right now, in my hands, as of this day 6/18/05, THIS becomes the most important belt in the world! This belt in the hands of any other man is just a belt, but in my hands it becomes power. Just like this microphone in the hands of any of the boys in the back is just a microphone, but in the hands of a dangerous man like myself it becomes a pipe-bomb. These words that I speak spoken but anybody else are just words strung loosely together to form sentences. What I say I mean, and what I mean I say, and they become anthems! You see, if I could be afforded the time here a little bit of a story. There was once an old man, walking home from work. He was walking in the snow, and he stumbled upon a snake frozen in the ice. He took that snake, and he brought it home, and he took care of it, and he thawed it out, and he nursed it back to health. And as soon as that snake was well enough, it bit the old man. And as the old man lay there dying he asked the snake, 'Why? I took care of you. I loved you. I saved your life.' And that snake looked that man right in the eye and said, 'You stupid old man. I'm a snake.' The greatest thing the devil ever did was make you people believe he didn't exist...and you're looking at him right now! I AM THE DEVIL HIMSELF! And all of you stupid, mindless people fell for it! You all believed in the same make-believe superhero that the legendary Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat saw some year ago today. No, you see, you don't know anything. You followed me hook-line and sinker, all of you did, and I'm not mad at you...I just feel sorry for you. This belongs to me! Everything you see here belongs to me, and I did what I had to do to get my hands on this. Now I am the GREATEST PRO WRESTLER walkin' the Earth today! This is my stage, this is my theater, you are my puppets! When I pulled those marionette strings, and I moved your emotions, and I played with them, and honestly it's 'cause I get off on it. I hate each and every single one of you with a thousand burns and I will not stop...I will not stop until I prove that I am better than you, that I am better than Low Ki, that I am better than AJ Styles! I'm better than Samoa Joe. Ladies and gentlemen, the champ is here! You don't have to love it, but you better learn to accept it. 'Cause I'm taking this with me, and there's not a single person in that locker room that can stop me!</div></blockquote>

<p>Gotta love those Bobby Heenan lines...dude was a riot. I rewatched the '92 Rumble match not long ago, and Heenan's constant rooting for Flair might have been the best part of the entire match.</p><p> </p><p>

I also loved the CM Punk promo recited by thatoneguy. Anyone who says ROH doesn't put together interesting storylines or characters obviously never saw that promo. Or the entire Summer of Punk, for that matter.</p>

<p>one more...I don't have a transcript or anything. But it was one of the Heatwave PPVs. 98 I think. Anyways...The Dudleyz engaged in a promo against the crowd, that was one of the best examples of getting heat I have EVER seen. They literally had half the crowd wanting to kill them. Including a line that can't be said here...but I'll bleep it out.</p><p> </p><p>

Bubba Ray is adressing the crowd when he spots a mother and daughter, this proceeding line ignites the crowd. "...And we got a mother right here...who taught her daughter how to S@*% D&@*!!!" </p><p> </p><p>

That line always stuck out, but the promo in it's entirety is the stuff of legend, watch it if you can find it and see how good the Dudleyz used to be at getting MASSIVE heel heat.</p>

<p>The Dudley Boys were awesome. When I watched those promos it was a revelation to me. It was full-on no-holds-barred HEAT. No limits. No restrictions. No pantomime crowd response. It was two jerks being total jerks and envoking a legitimate emotional response from the crowd. It took my breath away.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm sure I'll remember more later, but one of my favourite lines came from CM Punk at the Summerslam they had this year in Los Angeles. I actually don't remember the line, but he referred to "douchebag vampire" referencing Twilight. I thought it was great in that it was such a modern reference. Wrestling is so often in it's own little bubble, or behind the times (ZZ Top? Really) but as a weekly television show it really needs to be 'now'. For that moment, wrestling was in the now.</p><p> </p><p>

Woo Woo Woo. You Know It!</p>

edit: I remember reading about how the Dudleyz would get so much fan heat that fans would actually wait around the parking lot for them to come out afterwards :D

 

Actually that was a pretty common thing to occur in the old school days. Back when territories thrived, before Vince bought everyone out and publically admitted pro wrestling was fake, good heels would often get that much heat. I've heard some stories about the Fabulous Freebirds that... my God. They were lucky to survive.

 

... but yeah. Since the era of sports entertainment it's hard to get that level of heat. Even Punk and Jericho, who are entertaining villains who get loud reactions to their promos... The majority of the fans don't REALLY hate them. It's still pantomime heat. Folks know it's part of the show and boo because they're the baddies. However, The Dudleys stepped over the line, they really pissed people off. Which was awesome.

I tend to cheer for the bad guys in wrestling. When I was a kid (in the 80's) I hated the bad guys.

"Ya know.... You're in a cashino, everybody says well, gosh, a cashino you should gambllle. Let me tell you something, Anvil, you don't want to play cards with me, because I'll cheat. Okay, I cheat. You want to play 21? I got 22. You want to play blackjack? I got two of those too. You want to play aces and eights? Well, I got some of those too. Bottom line is this. You do not gamble with me... When you walk into a casino, when you want to gamble, the main thing you must do, is this, you must accept losing. I don't accept losing, and neither does Damien. Damien, my friend! My friend Damien is right here. You don't want to see this, do you? Let me show you something. I tell you what Anvil, go ahead and roll the dice. Mr. Cameraman, get your ass back up here. Hell-oooo, I'm talkin' to you. Get that camera back up here. That's what you should worry about, Anvil. The bottom line is this, when the DDT comes, then the snake comes out. Worry about the DDT. DDT! DDT! DDT! DDT! DDT! DDT! THINK ABOUT IT!"

one more...I don't have a transcript or anything. But it was one of the Heatwave PPVs. 98 I think. Anyways...The Dudleyz engaged in a promo against the crowd, that was one of the best examples of getting heat I have EVER seen. They literally had half the crowd wanting to kill them. Including a line that can't be said here...but I'll bleep it out.

 

Bubba Ray is adressing the crowd when he spots a mother and daughter, this proceeding line ignites the crowd. "...And we got a mother right here...who taught her daughter how to S@*% D&@*!!!"

 

That line always stuck out, but the promo in it's entirety is the stuff of legend, watch it if you can find it and see how good the Dudleyz used to be at getting MASSIVE heel heat.

 

The Dudleyz in ECW were the best. If anyone went to a ECW House show, these guys would get heat as soon as they came out of the curtain. I went to about 20 shows throughout the years in Florida and everyone had Bubba destroying a fat women,a mother/daughter or just some punk in the crowd. Bubba would work over Balls Mahoney and while doing it all of a sudden u would here"Heystand your fat ass up and give me your chair" Classic Add Joel Gertner who would work over the crowd almost as good.

 

The best quote tho was from the fans and it was "F*CK u Dvon" the crowd would chant this from the start till they left the ring. Was just funny cause Dvon does not talk except for his Testify thing,he would stand there and fans would chant.
