Character Catchphrases are a staple of Professional Wrestling. Wrestling lives for these, and virtually every wrestler has Character Catchphrase or two. As such, it deserves its own page.
Pages:
- Enzo Amore had a catch-speech of his own:"MY name! Is Enzo! Amore! And I am... a Certified G! And a bonafide stud! And you can't! Teach! That!
And this right here?! This is BIIIIIG CASS! And he's seven foot tall! And you can't! Teach! That!
And this right here?! This is Carmella! And she's hot as hell! And you can't! Teach! That!
Bada-boom! Realest guy(s) in the room! How you doin'..?!"- And then after cutting a promo against their opponents in the ring:
"There is only ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE YOU, AND I'M GONNA SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU. S. A. W. F. T. SAWFT!" - There's never a bad time for Booker T to refer to someone as a "sucka", most often when, at the end of a promo, he asks "CAN YOU DIG IT, SUCKAAAAAAAA?!"
- "He didn't say that... TELL ME he did not just say that!" was oft-used in 2001 and referenced afterwards occasionally.
- During his WWE run as Daniel Bryan, Bryan Danielson had "YES! YES! YES!", "NO! NO! NO!" and "FICKLE! FICKLE! FICKLE!"
- And in Ring of Honor under his real name, "You're gonna get your fucking head kicked in!"
- D-Generation X:
- Triple H has one question for you:
Are you ready? (crowd goes YEAHHHHHHHHH!) No! I said... ARE... YOU... READYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? Then... for the thousands in attendance, for the millions watching at home... and for [random line related to some incident]. LEEEEEET'S GET READY TO SUCK IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!- The New Age Outlaws had a catch-SPEECH, spoken at the beginning of most of their matches:
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, D-Generation X is proud to present the current/future and (previous reigns)-time TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD...THE ROAD DOGG JESSE JAMES, THE BAD ASS BILLY GUNN, THE NEW! AGE! OUTLAWS!"- "OH, YOU DIDN'T KNOW? You and your ass better CAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL SOMEBOOOOOOODYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"
- And of course, the team's own, iconic goodbye:
"And if you ain't down with that, we got TWO WORDS FOR YA!"Give it to 'em - "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan's boisterous HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
- Goldberg would often demand of the camera a simple "WHO'S NEXT?", fitting for a guy who almost never cut a promo.
- Did Eddie Guerrero tell you he didn't have a catchphrase? HE LIED!
- Given the volatility and cult following of his series of shoot interviews, The Iron Sheik turned this list into a catch phrase:"Suplex 'em, put 'em in the camel clutch, break his back, fuck his ass, and make him humble!"
- In the early years of Pro Wrestling ZERO1 and later, TNA, Low Ki had a saying:
- Diamond Dallas Page wants you to know that in your next match, YOU WILL FEEL! THE! BANG!
- CM Punk has "IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!!" (before the pipe bomb) and "BEST IN THE WORLD!!" (after the pipe bomb)
- And in the indies, "Straight Edge means I'm better than you!"
- Kurt Angle won an Olympic gold medal with a broken freakin' neck. OH IT'S TRUE...IT'S! DAMN! TRUE!'
- It's real, it's damn real!
- Big Poppa Pump is your hook-up. HOLLA IF YOU HEAR ME!
- Monty Brown had "Feel the power... of The Pounce!"
- The Mountie "The Mountie always gets his man!"
- "Ravishing" Rick Rude: "What I'd like now, is for all you fat, out-of-shape, [alliteration based on city]] to be quiet, while I remove my robe, and show these ladies what a REAL man looks like!"
- "Mr. Monday Night" Rob Van Dam will take time in the middle of the match to remind you he's "the whole fuckin'/damn show!"
- And nobody, and I mean nobody, gets higher than Rob! Van! Dam!
- "Ladies and gentlemen, Shawn Michaels has left the building". (a parody of the well known "Elvis has left the building")
- And even the announcers get in on it, which can be traced back to Gordon Solie's frequent comment that a wrestler was "wearing the crimson mask".
- Gorilla Monsoon frequently dealt with some of the more outlandish claims of Jesse Ventura and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan with "Will you stop?"
- Jim Ross's oft-parodied "[someone's] stompin' a mudhole", "[someone's getting beat] like a government mule", matches (or wrestlers) are "bowling-shoe ugly", and a really good, really vicious beating is a "slobber knocker".
- In his UWF days, Ross also shouted, "High elevation!" and "Pinning predicament" with amusing regularity.
- BAH GAWD!
- Joey Styles, meanwhile, has "OH MY GOD!" (or the lucha-related version, "AY DIOS MIO!"), a wrestler "getting introduced" to various hard-hitting objects, and referring to flying wrestlers as "Air _____".
- CAT FIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
- Jerry Lawler is happy to shout "Puppies!" at the slightest provocation.
- His TNA counterpart, Tazz, has "Let the pigeons loose!" whenever a Knockout (especially The Beautiful People) enters the ring.
- Speaking of Taz(z), back in his WWE days, it was "Well, here comes the pain!" Whenever Brock Lesnar's entrance theme played.
- And because of that, whenever D'Angelo Dinero enters the arena, Tazz gets to say "Welp, here comes the Pope!"
- WCW's Tony Schiavone frequently felt that the particular PPV/Nitro/Thunder/Worldwide/whatever was "the greatest night in the history of our sport". This has occurred more than once a week, leading some to believe that Schiavone has severe memory problems.
- This is not Fair to Flair.
- When you're nWo, you're nWo 4 Life!
- And you're "Just... 2... Sweeeeeet!"
- Hulk Hogan's "What'cha gonna do when the Hulkster/Hulkamania runs wild on you?"
- "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's "Gimme a hell yeah!"
- "And that's the bottom line, cuz Stone Cold said so!"
- The Undertaker's "Rest In Peace!"
- John Cena:
- "You can't see me!" (today used more often in his Entrance Music).
- "If you want some, come get some!"
- One of the earliest examples, from a heel, is "Superstar" Billy Graham's: "I'm the man of the hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour!"
- Ric Flair has built up quite a selection throughout his career, from a simple "Wooo!", to "Diamonds are forever... and so is Ric Flair" to "limousine-ridin', jet-flyin', kiss-stealin', wheelin'-dealin' son of a gun" - and of course "To be The Man, you gotta beat The Man!"
- One of the most repeated was Randy "Macho Man" Savage's surprisingly versatile "OOOOOOOHHHH YEAH!"
- Raven is well known for ending every interview with "Quote the Raven, nevermore"
- And that's not even his only catchphrase. Other favorites include "so it is written, so it shall come to pass" and "the world is full of kings and queens, who'll blind your eyes and steal your dreams," and, of course, "WHAT ABOUT ME? WHAT ABOUT RAVEN?"
- More recently, Ron Simmons returned from Character Limbo to become a fan favorite, complete with merchandise, simply by uttering his old Catchphrase, 'Damn!', at comically appropriate moments.

- That's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but THE TRUTH.
- Because I'M THE MIZ!! And I'm...! <loooong pause> AAAAAAWEESOOOME! - Despite this catchphrase now having fallen out of use for over half a decade - pretty much ever since he adopted the beginnings of his "Hollywood A-Lister" gimmick - the last word still features as the intro to his entrance music.
- Really..? Really? Really.
- When my hand goes up, your mouths go shut!!
- Woo woo woo, you know it!
- Clap it up, bro!

- He's got kids, he needs this job!
- "I'mmmm Matt Taven!"
- I am what I say that I am: "I AM A WRESTLING GOD!"
