1
00:00:02,890 --> 00:00:06,910
You know that feeling we all get when
WWE is totally awesome?
2
00:00:07,130 --> 00:00:08,370
Ooh, yeah!
3
00:00:09,410 --> 00:00:10,970
That feeling of fun.
4
00:00:11,790 --> 00:00:15,930
Nostalgia. The memories that made you a
lifelong fan.
5
00:00:16,290 --> 00:00:21,790
Like the most awesome catchphrases in
WWE history.
6
00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:25,770
From the commanding... Acknowledge me!
7
00:00:26,870 --> 00:00:29,030
To the cocky... Oh, it's true.
8
00:00:29,350 --> 00:00:30,350
It's true.
9
00:00:30,530 --> 00:00:32,430
The diamond ring wearing... Woo!
10
00:00:32,910 --> 00:00:34,470
And the do -it -yourself.
11
00:00:36,350 --> 00:00:41,730
These are the signature WWE catchphrases
that echo through arena.
12
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:44,010
You can't see me!
13
00:00:44,450 --> 00:00:46,210
And bring us to our feet.
14
00:00:46,450 --> 00:00:51,810
What? To chant in unison, this is us!
15
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,560
Welcome to This is Awesome, the only
show that celebrates the most awesome
16
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,600
everything. Then, now, forever, and
together.
17
00:01:16,980 --> 00:01:21,140
I'm your host, Greg Miller, at
GameOverGreggy on Instagram and Threads.
18
00:01:21,140 --> 00:01:26,340
today, we celebrate the most awesome
catchphrases in WWE history.
19
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:31,660
Now, far more than just words, a
catchphrase can come to define a
20
00:01:31,660 --> 00:01:35,680
larger -than -life persona. It becomes
their signature, makes them memorable.
21
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,400
not to mention marketable, and perhaps
more than anything acts as sort of a
22
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,640
rallying cry that fires up fans and
connects us to the superstars.
23
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,240
So, what do you guys want to talk about?
24
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:54,920
What happens at Between the Rings may
not be the most memorable thing all the
25
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,520
time. What is always memorable, though,
is a really good catchphrase.
26
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,100
What you're gonna do?
27
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,820
I'm the best in the world. The best
there is?
28
00:02:05,210 --> 00:02:07,850
The best there was and the best there
ever will be.
29
00:02:08,130 --> 00:02:12,810
Catchphrases are the best way for an
audience to latch on to a performer.
30
00:02:13,270 --> 00:02:17,490
To be the man, you have to beat the man.
31
00:02:18,050 --> 00:02:19,790
Hello, ladies.
32
00:02:20,830 --> 00:02:23,830
I am the game.
33
00:02:24,250 --> 00:02:26,610
The iconic ones, man, they hit hard.
34
00:02:26,890 --> 00:02:28,250
Viva la raza!
35
00:02:28,930 --> 00:02:29,930
Yeah!
36
00:02:33,770 --> 00:02:40,650
Hey, yo. If you're, you know, trying
37
00:02:40,650 --> 00:02:46,210
to be a complete WWE superstar, there's
nothing better than having an arena full
38
00:02:46,210 --> 00:02:48,090
of people already know what you're going
to say.
39
00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:51,590
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
children of all ages.
40
00:02:52,110 --> 00:02:56,910
It's time once again for everybody to
come and watch us.
41
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,260
A catchphrase is, it's super important,
but it's also very good to let it come
42
00:03:05,260 --> 00:03:10,720
naturally. New Day Rocks! New Day Rocks!
I'll give you the origin story of the
43
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,240
New Day Rocks chant. I dug into my
cheerleading bag from college. So I
44
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,440
well, we should make our own cadence so
that everybody knows that when they're
45
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,000
doing this, it's specifically for New
Day. Once you have that connection, now
46
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,960
they're invested in you.
47
00:03:30,929 --> 00:03:36,230
Man, yeet means like, yeah, no, maybe,
hello. Like, man, what up, Uzi?
48
00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:38,210
Let me hear you say, yeet!
49
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:39,510
Yeet!
50
00:03:39,690 --> 00:03:41,470
We've all been saying it.
51
00:03:41,770 --> 00:03:43,550
It just caught on with me, apparently.
52
00:03:44,150 --> 00:03:48,630
Man, I'm in there, you know, hitting the
punches, and they're like, yeet, yeet,
53
00:03:48,630 --> 00:03:50,710
yeet, yeet.
54
00:03:51,030 --> 00:03:54,430
It came organically. I didn't force
nothing. It was just there.
55
00:03:54,690 --> 00:03:55,690
I was like, what?
56
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,720
So the street privacy catchphrase, we
want to smoke, is actually derived from,
57
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,060
was a huge fan of The Rock, so like,
it's a way of saying, just bring it.
58
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,820
Just bring it.
59
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,960
It's basically saying that we want to
smoke, we want these problems, and bring
60
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,220
them on, because we ain't running from
the task at hand.
61
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:18,440
Here's what I think.
62
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,959
It doesn't matter what you think, man.
63
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,840
What makes catchphrases so special to
me.
64
00:04:25,290 --> 00:04:29,610
It is definitely something people look
forward to. They feel included and they
65
00:04:29,610 --> 00:04:31,650
feel that they are actually part of the
show.
66
00:04:31,930 --> 00:04:32,930
Thank you!
67
00:04:34,410 --> 00:04:37,910
You'll look out in the crowd when I do
the thank you. It's like the hands go up
68
00:04:37,910 --> 00:04:39,190
in the air and they do it with you.
69
00:04:39,530 --> 00:04:40,530
Thank you!
70
00:04:42,170 --> 00:04:47,830
I'm a big 90s movie fan, specifically
Pauly Shore movies. And Encino Man, he
71
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:48,830
the shoosh.
72
00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:49,950
Shoosh!
73
00:04:50,310 --> 00:04:54,330
And I was doing a promo one night and
the crowd was kind of getting on us.
74
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,380
And to kind of quiet them down, I just
pulled it out.
75
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,580
You could just even feel and see people
in the audience, like, respond to it.
76
00:05:05,420 --> 00:05:08,280
And so from that moment, I was like,
we're going to keep this thing. We're
77
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:09,280
to stick it out.
78
00:05:11,540 --> 00:05:13,320
You never know what's going to stick.
79
00:05:13,620 --> 00:05:16,200
You never know what is going to catch on
with people.
80
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,920
Literally anything can be a catchphrase.
81
00:05:23,390 --> 00:05:25,770
It can be a sentence. Now can you dig
that?
82
00:05:26,870 --> 00:05:27,870
Snooker!
83
00:05:28,330 --> 00:05:29,550
It can be a word.
84
00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:34,390
Sometimes these catchphrases, they
become their own beast.
85
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:37,410
We just got two words for you.
86
00:05:40,950 --> 00:05:45,630
Every kid at least once told their
parents or a teacher to suck it.
87
00:05:46,010 --> 00:05:48,730
Oh, let's get rid of the sucker!
88
00:05:49,750 --> 00:05:54,240
Okay. tell you how many detention slips
I got because I kept telling everybody
89
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,540
to suck it.
90
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,560
I'll throw myself in the fire here
saying that I was one of the kids
91
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,720
trouble at school telling teachers to
suck it.
92
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,020
None of us understood that we weren't
supposed to be saying suck it, okay?
93
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,980
Let's get rid of this. Suck it!
94
00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:11,700
Suck it!
95
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,080
Years later, I was able to tell Shawn
Michaels.
96
00:06:18,430 --> 00:06:20,350
Do you know I had no idea what suck it
meant?
97
00:06:20,750 --> 00:06:26,870
And I would just tell adults to suck it
all the time. And he was horrified of
98
00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:27,870
that.
99
00:06:28,070 --> 00:06:33,590
It's amazing, man. Like, after 25 years,
people are still getting in trouble for
100
00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:34,590
saying suck it.
101
00:06:34,650 --> 00:06:39,130
Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid got in
trouble for saying it. It's crazy.
102
00:06:39,390 --> 00:06:42,970
The way it became part of pop culture in
general.
103
00:06:43,490 --> 00:06:47,210
Derrick Lewis from the UFC, all doing
that. But they know exactly where it
104
00:06:47,210 --> 00:06:48,210
from, trust me.
105
00:06:48,350 --> 00:06:54,350
And if you ain't down with that, we got
two words for ya.
106
00:06:55,030 --> 00:06:56,030
Suck it!
107
00:06:58,150 --> 00:07:04,310
Forgive us, for we know not what we did.
I was indeed among those kids flinging
108
00:07:04,310 --> 00:07:06,370
suck it around like it was a morning
greeting.
109
00:07:06,690 --> 00:07:08,650
Ah, the good old days.
110
00:07:09,130 --> 00:07:13,230
Okay, let's begin with the king of
catchphrases, The Rock.
111
00:07:13,570 --> 00:07:16,870
The people's champion is so good on the
mic.
112
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,500
that virtually everything that comes out
of his mouth is instantly, quote,
113
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:27,860
worthy. Whether insulting a Rudy Poo
candy ass or daring a jabroni to bring
114
00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:32,920
the Great One is the master of the
verbal smackdown. Quite literally, the
115
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,020
-coined smackdown officially entered the
Merriam -Webster dictionary in 2007.
116
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:44,920
But despite all his legendary eyebrow
-raising one -liners, there is one.
117
00:07:45,340 --> 00:07:50,240
tongue -wagging catchphrase that has
come to epitomize the most electrifying
118
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,420
in sports entertainment.
119
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,880
If you smell.
120
00:07:57,500 --> 00:08:03,040
If you smell.
121
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,560
Not just if you smell, if you smell.
122
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,680
Look at the tongue, look at the tongue,
look at the tongue.
123
00:08:15,470 --> 00:08:19,350
What the rock. What the rock is cooking.
124
00:08:19,830 --> 00:08:20,830
So good.
125
00:08:21,150 --> 00:08:22,150
So good.
126
00:08:22,730 --> 00:08:27,710
When you really dissect it, what a wild
catchphrase that is. If you smell.
127
00:08:29,550 --> 00:08:30,650
If you smell.
128
00:08:32,850 --> 00:08:35,809
What the rock is cooking.
129
00:08:36,289 --> 00:08:38,990
If you want to make sure somebody
understood what you said, it was, you
130
00:08:38,990 --> 00:08:39,729
what I'm cooking.
131
00:08:39,730 --> 00:08:41,650
It's boots to asses time.
132
00:08:42,549 --> 00:08:43,690
If you smell.
133
00:08:50,730 --> 00:08:54,150
He meant it. I'm going to do this. I'm
going to do that. You smell what I'm
134
00:08:54,150 --> 00:08:55,770
cooking. Can you feel my energy?
135
00:08:56,030 --> 00:08:57,030
It smells.
136
00:08:58,370 --> 00:09:02,290
What The Rock is cooking. It's a fun one
to say.
137
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:07,950
The WrestleMania 14.
138
00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:13,170
The Rock has an interview with Jennifer
Flowers. And he just randomly says, If
139
00:09:13,170 --> 00:09:17,110
The Rock were the jury, The Rock feels
like this. Nine times out of ten, he'd
140
00:09:17,110 --> 00:09:18,110
a hung jury.
141
00:09:18,270 --> 00:09:19,270
Have you smelled what I'm cooking?
142
00:09:19,430 --> 00:09:24,270
Who would guess that something like that
would stick? And here we are all these
143
00:09:24,270 --> 00:09:27,770
years later, and it is perhaps the
greatest catchphrase of all time.
144
00:09:28,130 --> 00:09:32,230
A simple phrase that he said, and it
caught fire.
145
00:09:32,590 --> 00:09:35,930
That just shows you the genius of The
Rock.
146
00:09:36,230 --> 00:09:40,110
There is no one on the planet like The
Rock!
147
00:09:40,350 --> 00:09:42,290
The jabroni beating now!
148
00:09:43,530 --> 00:09:45,330
Pie eating trail!
149
00:09:54,050 --> 00:09:59,110
No one could cut a better promo than The
Rock. Everything that came out of his
150
00:09:59,110 --> 00:10:00,930
mouth was just so funny to me.
151
00:10:01,130 --> 00:10:06,150
The Rock says, what you gonna do when
the 24... No, wait, that's not it.
152
00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:06,629
not it.
153
00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:10,730
And that's the bottom line, because the
great one said so.
154
00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:13,710
What are you playing, peek -a -boo?
155
00:10:21,890 --> 00:10:26,610
The Rock had this amazing power over us
where it didn't matter what he said.
156
00:10:26,990 --> 00:10:30,590
The next day, all of us at school were
repeating.
157
00:10:32,790 --> 00:10:39,290
The Rock, who can arguably be known as
the king of the
158
00:10:39,290 --> 00:10:42,390
catchphrases. Just bring it.
159
00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:44,870
It doesn't matter what you think.
160
00:10:45,290 --> 00:10:46,290
Finally.
161
00:10:46,910 --> 00:10:51,150
The Rock has come back to Atlanta,
162
00:10:52,030 --> 00:10:53,030
Dallas,
163
00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:55,790
New Orleans.
164
00:10:56,490 --> 00:11:02,290
Know your damn role and shut your damn
mouth.
165
00:11:05,010 --> 00:11:09,330
The reason why do you smell what The
Rock is cooking is his number one.
166
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,500
It's because it was how we finished
every sentence.
167
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,600
You have no class and you can all kiss
the people's ass.
168
00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:23,420
If you smell what The Rock is
169
00:11:23,420 --> 00:11:26,600
cooking.
170
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:32,500
With any catchphrase, it's not just the
phrase itself, but it's how you deliver
171
00:11:32,500 --> 00:11:38,260
it. So the way that The Rock said, do
you smell what The Rock's cooking?
172
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:44,180
There was an inimitable way that The
Rock said things that enhanced the
173
00:11:44,180 --> 00:11:50,660
catchphrase. The most electrifying line
in sports entertainment today, if you
174
00:11:50,660 --> 00:11:53,320
smell what The Rock is cooking.
175
00:11:54,820 --> 00:11:57,000
You just felt it.
176
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:05,900
As soon as you hear,
177
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,700
if you...
178
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,420
But the rock is cooking.
179
00:12:14,020 --> 00:12:18,800
The ultimate catchphrase of catchphrase.
180
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:25,260
He's absolutely untouchable. You would
need decades to catch up with just his
181
00:12:25,260 --> 00:12:26,260
catchphrases.
182
00:12:26,780 --> 00:12:27,860
He's the master.
183
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,860
We're saying it loud and proud, and
we're saying it together.
184
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:34,940
He's just a man.
185
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:57,240
Ah, yes, I think I can smell it, Rock.
The aroma of an exquisite dinner, a
186
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:02,500
family feast, if you will, with one seat
reserved for the head of the table. And
187
00:13:02,500 --> 00:13:07,660
given Rock's ominous words from Raw's
day one kickoff, seemingly directed at
188
00:13:07,660 --> 00:13:12,420
Roman Reigns, we may soon find out who
sits ahead of this fabled table.
189
00:13:12,820 --> 00:13:19,180
Should the Rock sit at the bar, or
should the Rock
190
00:13:19,180 --> 00:13:20,180
sit?
191
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,020
At the head of the table.
192
00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:31,700
Despite Reigns' hilarious retort, we'd
be fools not to pay the highest respect
193
00:13:31,700 --> 00:13:37,520
to the tribal chief. And until the
undisputed WWE Universal Champion shows
194
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,760
signs of slowing down, you simply have
to acknowledge him.
195
00:13:44,740 --> 00:13:48,340
From the day that I was born, this has
been my birthright.
196
00:13:49,710 --> 00:13:52,750
And now the crowning of Roman Reigns.
197
00:13:53,490 --> 00:13:59,470
There's only one man that carries this
company on his back. And his name is the
198
00:13:59,470 --> 00:14:04,650
tribal chief, the head of the table,
Roman Reigns.
199
00:14:10,750 --> 00:14:11,750
Acknowledge me.
200
00:14:15,330 --> 00:14:17,110
There's someone like Roman Reigns.
201
00:14:18,510 --> 00:14:22,410
especially being the undisputed WWE
Universal Champion.
202
00:14:22,890 --> 00:14:26,310
You can go out there and tell people to
acknowledge you, and they will.
203
00:14:27,850 --> 00:14:28,850
Acknowledge me!
204
00:14:31,230 --> 00:14:32,630
It speaks for itself, right?
205
00:14:33,130 --> 00:14:36,950
I don't have to say anything else. I
understand exactly what it means.
206
00:14:38,370 --> 00:14:42,970
He knows that he throws up the one and
tells them to acknowledge me, they're
207
00:14:42,970 --> 00:14:43,970
going to acknowledge him.
208
00:14:44,450 --> 00:14:46,050
You get to feel the anticipation.
209
00:14:46,940 --> 00:14:48,520
You feel the buildup, right?
210
00:14:51,740 --> 00:14:56,380
Standing out there with the biggest star
and waiting for them to say,
211
00:14:56,540 --> 00:14:57,880
acknowledge me.
212
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,080
Electricity, for real.
213
00:15:01,060 --> 00:15:03,860
Roman Reigns is just asking for a little
respect.
214
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,180
Is that so hard to find?
215
00:15:07,060 --> 00:15:08,060
You there.
216
00:15:09,820 --> 00:15:10,840
Sitting at home.
217
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:13,760
Acknowledge me.
218
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:15,600
You might as well.
219
00:15:16,170 --> 00:15:21,810
Everybody's acknowledging me. I'll
acknowledge you, Roman. I acknowledge
220
00:15:21,850 --> 00:15:22,850
You are my champion.
221
00:15:23,130 --> 00:15:29,690
The greatest title run of the modern
era. We must acknowledge Roman
222
00:15:29,690 --> 00:15:30,710
Reigns.
223
00:15:32,850 --> 00:15:34,130
Acknowledge me.
224
00:15:36,570 --> 00:15:43,230
Roman Reigns demands acknowledgement
because as decorated as he
225
00:15:43,230 --> 00:15:44,230
is,
226
00:15:44,460 --> 00:15:51,100
1 ,202 days that Roman Reigns has ruled
as the champion.
227
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,700
It's still not enough.
228
00:15:54,180 --> 00:15:55,740
This is my show.
229
00:15:56,540 --> 00:15:58,380
This is my ring.
230
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,100
This cameraman right here, this is my
cameraman.
231
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,560
These people, these are all my people
because they acknowledge me.
232
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,980
He doesn't care if you boo.
233
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,680
He doesn't care if you cheer.
234
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,080
But you're going to recognize that he's
in the building and it's his time.
235
00:16:18,780 --> 00:16:21,940
All you had to do was acknowledge me.
236
00:16:22,580 --> 00:16:25,480
He has your attention and you will
acknowledge him.
237
00:16:26,580 --> 00:16:27,580
Acknowledge me.
238
00:16:28,300 --> 00:16:29,300
Acknowledge me.
239
00:16:29,460 --> 00:16:33,480
On t -shirts and everything and fans
love when he says whatever city we're
240
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,460
Memphis, Tennessee.
241
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,580
Dallas, Texas.
242
00:16:41,180 --> 00:16:42,180
Philadelphia.
243
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,120
Montreal!
244
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:52,560
We're acknowledging that we are bearing
witness to a true industry
245
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,120
game changer.
246
00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:56,980
The entire universe.
247
00:16:59,780 --> 00:17:00,860
Acknowledge me!
248
00:17:05,940 --> 00:17:11,500
In what has become a familiar
catchphrase of my own, reacting to Roman
249
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:16,200
video packages on this show, We
acknowledge you, Tribal Chief. We
250
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,960
you, my Tribal Chief.
251
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:24,800
Now, on to a word, or maybe a sound,
that quite literally defined a career.
252
00:17:25,380 --> 00:17:26,380
Woo!
253
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,260
Yep, it's the signature calling card of
the nature boy himself,
254
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,180
Ric Flair.
255
00:17:33,660 --> 00:17:40,360
This 16 -time world champion gets a lot
of love on This Is Awesome, and for a
256
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:42,180
very, very, very, very good reason.
257
00:17:42,700 --> 00:17:48,780
Nature first used his iconic outburst of
excitement more than 50 years ago. And
258
00:17:48,780 --> 00:17:53,020
just as diamonds are forever, so too is
this catchphrase.
259
00:17:54,300 --> 00:17:56,460
I'm getting a strange signal from Zone
3.
260
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,720
All right, let's take a look.
261
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:00,120
Woo!
262
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:01,960
Woo!
263
00:18:02,620 --> 00:18:04,140
Woo! Woo!
264
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,500
Woo! You can't just woo.
265
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,900
Like, that's not... You have to... Woo!
266
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,040
Everybody loves Ric Flair just because
of the fact that he talked his talk and
267
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,040
he walked his walk.
268
00:18:18,140 --> 00:18:24,400
And I got a limousine sitting out there
a mile long with 25 women just dying for
269
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:29,740
me to go, whoo! This whole atmosphere
that Ric Flair used to create whenever
270
00:18:29,740 --> 00:18:34,440
walked down to that rink, all that is
already included in that movie.
271
00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:35,920
It's flamboyant.
272
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,140
Bullet pointing whatever you're saying
with, whoo!
273
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,360
Silence! Roll violence!
274
00:18:41,860 --> 00:18:42,860
Custom made!
275
00:18:42,940 --> 00:18:43,940
Whoo!
276
00:18:44,100 --> 00:18:46,880
Fits back, and he says, you know what?
That made perfect sense to me.
277
00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:48,100
Woo!
278
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,660
I'm Magic Jackson!
279
00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:51,020
Come and get it, baby!
280
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:52,380
Woo!
281
00:18:53,700 --> 00:18:57,560
When we're looking at catchphrases, I
don't know if any more have a larger
282
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:58,560
than Ric Flair's woo.
283
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,880
Whenever somebody throws a chuck, the
entire crowd goes, woo.
284
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:08,880
It's everywhere.
285
00:19:09,150 --> 00:19:11,330
You know, you've got NFL teams doing
chants.
286
00:19:15,830 --> 00:19:22,590
Remember Rick and Kurt
287
00:19:22,590 --> 00:19:24,310
Angle had a woo -off.
288
00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:36,830
WrestleMania 21, when WrestleMania goes
to Hollywood, they was filming these
289
00:19:36,830 --> 00:19:38,610
vignettes, and...
290
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,500
He wooed a donkey.
291
00:19:42,740 --> 00:19:47,620
Woo! Woo! Woo! Oh, man. I guess he was
really tired of that ass.
292
00:19:49,700 --> 00:19:55,900
Whether you like it or you don't like
it, it's the greatest thing done
293
00:19:55,900 --> 00:20:02,440
today! Woo! My dad and his character and
what he stands for, people gravitate
294
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:03,860
towards him. Woo!
295
00:20:04,590 --> 00:20:05,870
Setting the world on fire.
296
00:20:06,110 --> 00:20:10,230
It's amazing how generations upon
generations of people know exactly who
297
00:20:10,230 --> 00:20:14,050
Flair is, because he's just such an
icon.
298
00:20:14,750 --> 00:20:19,590
Diamonds are forever, and so is Ric
Flair.
299
00:20:19,850 --> 00:20:20,850
Woo!
300
00:20:25,210 --> 00:20:31,370
Yes, you are Ric Flair. And the fact
that we are still wooing to this very
301
00:20:31,370 --> 00:20:32,490
is truly a testament.
302
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,260
to the cultural and long -lasting impact
Flair has had on sports entertainment.
303
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,180
Woo forever.
304
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:45,100
Now, with a reputation for being a
rattlesnake in the ring, Stone Cold
305
00:20:45,100 --> 00:20:50,160
Austin never hesitated to open up a can
of whoop -ass on his mealy -mouthed,
306
00:20:50,180 --> 00:20:53,500
beady -eyed, sorry sons of... You know
the rest.
307
00:20:54,140 --> 00:20:59,520
His passion and intensity were
unparalleled. But, surprisingly enough,
308
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:05,460
his ability to talk some good old
-fashioned Texas trash and dish out some
309
00:21:05,460 --> 00:21:08,220
the most celebrated catchphrases of all
time.
310
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,160
What?
311
00:21:16,300 --> 00:21:17,820
Don't call Steve Austin.
312
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,180
One of the kings of catchphrases.
313
00:21:24,430 --> 00:21:28,530
It doesn't matter what he says. You're
like, oh my gosh, I want to say that. I
314
00:21:28,530 --> 00:21:30,030
want to be that. I want to do that.
315
00:21:31,450 --> 00:21:38,350
The night that he delivered the epic
Austin 316 line, it changed my
316
00:21:38,350 --> 00:21:42,470
world. Talk about your Psalms. Talk
about John 316.
317
00:21:43,230 --> 00:21:46,530
Austin 316 says I just whipped your ass.
318
00:21:46,930 --> 00:21:52,870
The very next week, 316 signs
everywhere. Austin 316, Austin 316,
319
00:21:53,780 --> 00:21:56,440
Austin 316 says I just whipped your ass.
320
00:21:56,860 --> 00:22:01,780
The Austin 316 shirt. Maybe the greatest
Stone Cold shirt of all time. Maybe the
321
00:22:01,780 --> 00:22:05,240
greatest sports entertainment shirt of
all time. People that don't even watch
322
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,900
wrestling know what this is.
323
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,520
Austin stuns Austin!
324
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,040
I see this shirt everywhere to this day.
325
00:22:12,340 --> 00:22:16,880
It became a whole thing from that one
line, that one time.
326
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,800
Most of the time, catchphrases take time
for audience to gravitate to.
327
00:22:22,300 --> 00:22:23,880
But that one was instantaneous.
328
00:22:26,860 --> 00:22:30,180
One coat of Austin 316 got the job done.
329
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,300
But another of Stone Cold's patch
freezes had to be sprayed over and over
330
00:22:35,300 --> 00:22:36,300
it stuck.
331
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:39,600
What? Your name is Hugh Morris.
332
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:42,000
What? Is that funny?
333
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:45,160
What? Is that humorous? What?
334
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,340
The old what chant. Yeah.
335
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,700
Thanks for that one.
336
00:22:50,970 --> 00:22:51,970
What? What?
337
00:22:52,030 --> 00:22:58,650
What? What? There's no catchphrase like
what that exists in the
338
00:22:58,650 --> 00:23:00,030
WWE. Are you okay?
339
00:23:00,890 --> 00:23:01,890
What?
340
00:23:02,170 --> 00:23:06,090
It was him just obnoxiously doing it to
cut people off.
341
00:23:06,290 --> 00:23:08,450
I was hoping to get your comments. What?
342
00:23:08,910 --> 00:23:14,210
And it just kind of gradually became its
own play with the crowd kind of a
343
00:23:14,210 --> 00:23:15,990
thing. I got some jumbo.
344
00:23:16,750 --> 00:23:17,830
Three beers.
345
00:23:18,530 --> 00:23:20,010
Some cordon de cam.
346
00:23:20,940 --> 00:23:21,980
A shot of whiskey?
347
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:24,640
What? You like Stone Cold Steve Austin?
348
00:23:24,980 --> 00:23:27,000
What? You want a beer? What?
349
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,480
Put on some chapstick?
350
00:23:28,740 --> 00:23:30,740
What? Put in some chewing gum?
351
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,680
What? Anyone else doing this I don't
think would have worked as well.
352
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,300
Stone Cold made this work.
353
00:23:35,540 --> 00:23:36,540
I agree.
354
00:23:36,860 --> 00:23:37,860
What?
355
00:23:38,980 --> 00:23:42,300
That was like the first one where the
people started hijacking things.
356
00:23:42,980 --> 00:23:46,600
Because they would just want you to
death, right? Don't stay in a gym!
357
00:23:49,290 --> 00:23:53,990
They still do it to this day. I'm a past
and future WWE champion.
358
00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:59,890
They'll give you the what treatment if
you're pausing at certain moments.
359
00:24:00,130 --> 00:24:01,210
Really? What?
360
00:24:01,490 --> 00:24:06,170
It's almost become annoying but fun.
You're being rude.
361
00:24:06,550 --> 00:24:10,330
What? It is so distracting. It is so
hard to not acknowledge.
362
00:24:10,590 --> 00:24:11,830
If y 'all keep what in me.
363
00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:16,680
I'm going to smash all of y 'all like I
would smash Steve Austin.
364
00:24:17,020 --> 00:24:20,280
My favorite comeback is you all sound
like a bunch of ducks.
365
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,480
What? What?
366
00:24:21,540 --> 00:24:26,300
What? What? I think the fact that this
is still around, it just shows the
367
00:24:26,300 --> 00:24:29,140
of what a simple word can do.
368
00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:30,440
What? What?
369
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,480
When Stone Cold does something and says
something, it's sick.
370
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,060
And that's the bottom line. What?
371
00:24:37,380 --> 00:24:39,980
Because Stone Cold says so.
372
00:24:43,500 --> 00:24:49,200
When it comes to razor -tongued
catchphrases, Stone Cold is truly in a
373
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:55,340
his own. But our next superstar had a
catchphrase that, let's just say, was
374
00:24:55,340 --> 00:24:57,000
cream of the crop. Ooh, yeah!
375
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,300
Yep, we're talking about Macho Man Randy
Savage.
376
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,960
The flamboyant, larger -than -life
superstar was known for just two words
377
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,780
delivered in a signature raspy voice
only he could do.
378
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,240
that it's become part of the very fabric
of WWE.
379
00:25:17,580 --> 00:25:20,720
I think everyone loved Rename Jumeirah.
380
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,540
Oh, yeah.
381
00:25:31,260 --> 00:25:34,620
It's just the way he said it. Oh, yeah.
382
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,700
His voice is a catchphrase in itself.
383
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,040
Complete.
384
00:25:41,260 --> 00:25:45,000
It's kind of like you smoke 80 packs of
cigarettes a day. It's just that raspy
385
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,400
growl and the energy, and you watch the
veins pop out of his neck.
386
00:25:53,660 --> 00:25:54,140
Randy
387
00:25:54,140 --> 00:26:01,640
Savage
388
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:07,680
was somehow able to sum up his essence
in that catchphrase.
389
00:26:08,060 --> 00:26:09,060
Ooh, yeah.
390
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:13,540
Tells you everything that you need to
know about the Macho Man Randy Savage.
391
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,980
Ooh, yeah. Dig it. Yeah.
392
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:22,840
He may be the most fun WWE personality
to imitate.
393
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:29,280
The cream is going to rise to the top.
Put the cream right to the top. Ooh,
394
00:26:29,380 --> 00:26:32,780
yeah. Ooh, yeah. Ooh, yeah.
395
00:26:33,100 --> 00:26:34,220
Ooh, yeah.
396
00:26:34,620 --> 00:26:37,280
Followed up with a dig it. Ooh, yeah.
Dig it.
397
00:26:37,660 --> 00:26:38,439
Dig it!
398
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:39,440
Ooh, yeah!
399
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:40,960
Dig it!
400
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:48,020
Ooh, yeah is something that I repeated
non -stop as a
401
00:26:48,020 --> 00:26:50,960
kid, chasing my sisters around, chasing
the dog around.
402
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,060
Everyone's at home doing it. You know,
your mom asks if you'll get something
403
00:26:55,060 --> 00:26:58,320
the washing for her. You don't just say
yeah, you go, ooh, yeah!
404
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:00,040
You just have to, it's infectious.
405
00:27:00,570 --> 00:27:01,590
Ooh, yeah.
406
00:27:01,810 --> 00:27:05,710
Oh, damn it. That's not it either.
Everyone wants to do the macho voice
407
00:27:05,710 --> 00:27:11,790
they say it. And to be honest, nine out
of ten are bad. So maybe people need to
408
00:27:11,790 --> 00:27:13,170
stop trying to do the macho voice.
409
00:27:13,970 --> 00:27:14,970
Ooh, yeah.
410
00:27:16,030 --> 00:27:17,410
See, it's not great for the throat.
411
00:27:19,150 --> 00:27:20,150
Oh, that hurts.
412
00:27:21,510 --> 00:27:26,450
I think a moment that we all loved
growing up was watching Macho Man
413
00:27:26,450 --> 00:27:27,450
Miss Elizabeth.
414
00:27:27,970 --> 00:27:28,970
Elizabeth!
415
00:27:30,140 --> 00:27:33,060
Elizabeth, will you marry me?
416
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,040
Will you marry me?
417
00:27:39,620 --> 00:27:41,160
Oh, yeah.
418
00:27:43,420 --> 00:27:48,160
And she went, oh, yeah. And my heart
melted as a child.
419
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,680
Macho man Randy Savage, do you take this
woman as your lawful wedded wife?
420
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,600
When it came down to the I do, that
pause, it was like.
421
00:27:58,220 --> 00:28:01,860
Do the thing, do the thing, do the
thing. Come on, March, not now.
422
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,200
Call feet.
423
00:28:06,580 --> 00:28:08,180
Oh, yeah.
424
00:28:11,140 --> 00:28:12,380
He said the thing.
425
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,020
You did it, my dog.
426
00:28:17,180 --> 00:28:20,180
Because of that catchphrase. Oh, yeah.
427
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:23,720
His ability to be identified with that.
428
00:28:24,010 --> 00:28:30,790
He got married to Slim Jim and it's
429
00:28:30,790 --> 00:28:31,990
inseparable now.
430
00:28:36,810 --> 00:28:40,670
A credit to how big of a star Macho Man
was that we've, you know, we've got
431
00:28:40,670 --> 00:28:43,930
people in the food industry trying to
drag him in because they know that if
432
00:28:43,930 --> 00:28:46,950
can attach their brand to him, it's
going to go global.
433
00:28:52,860 --> 00:28:58,780
Slim Jim probably sold a billion stocks
of beef jerky off the back of Macho
434
00:28:58,780 --> 00:29:03,380
Man's voice inflection. And that's how
you know you've got an iconic
435
00:29:03,380 --> 00:29:04,460
catchphrase, right?
436
00:29:05,980 --> 00:29:12,980
And to this day, nobody has that voice.
And if someone did come in like that,
437
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,960
I don't think people would believe it.
438
00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:18,040
who was Randy Macho Man Savage, you
believed everything.
439
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,440
The number one wrestler and professional
wrestler is the Macho Man Randy Savage.
440
00:29:22,660 --> 00:29:23,700
Oh, yeah!
441
00:29:28,580 --> 00:29:33,240
You know, I still think of him every
time I have one of these. What an
442
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:39,120
entertainer who truly transcended WWE
and caused many a sore throat to many of
443
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:39,939
us fans.
444
00:29:39,940 --> 00:29:45,120
Okay, on to a catchphrase made famous by
a dynamic duo better known...
445
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:50,680
As the Dudley boys, when these guys were
in the ring, it meant one thing, wood.
446
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:56,600
More precisely, their opponents going
through wood. We all knew when Bubba Ray
447
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,180
Dudley yelled, Devon!
448
00:29:59,100 --> 00:30:00,380
Get the tables!
449
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,560
Some poor soul would end up at the
centerpiece.
450
00:30:05,980 --> 00:30:09,740
What are you going to do tonight when
you are standing in the middle of a ring
451
00:30:09,740 --> 00:30:15,080
and 20 ,000 screaming people say, Devon!
452
00:30:16,690 --> 00:30:17,930
Get the table!
453
00:30:20,950 --> 00:30:27,870
The crowd reaction to that is just
freaking
454
00:30:27,870 --> 00:30:28,870
surreal.
455
00:30:31,450 --> 00:30:38,430
One day, in a
456
00:30:38,430 --> 00:30:41,750
ring, I don't even know when this
happened. I just looked at Devon and I
457
00:30:41,870 --> 00:30:43,470
get the tables.
458
00:30:56,590 --> 00:31:00,570
Much like a lot of other things that
catch on.
459
00:31:01,250 --> 00:31:04,650
Just a spur of the moment thing that
comes off the top of your head.
460
00:31:10,810 --> 00:31:17,410
Put the tables away and
461
00:31:17,410 --> 00:31:18,670
stretch good cheer.
462
00:31:24,930 --> 00:31:28,610
Not only do you have the fun of getting
the yell, get the table, but then you
463
00:31:28,610 --> 00:31:30,310
know you're going to see someone go
through that table.
464
00:31:33,730 --> 00:31:40,270
For the love
465
00:31:40,270 --> 00:31:44,370
of God, did you see that?
466
00:31:46,030 --> 00:31:48,890
With one motion.
467
00:31:49,290 --> 00:31:54,170
An entire arena would signal for Devon
to get the table. I think it was really
468
00:31:54,170 --> 00:31:56,650
testament to what they brought to the
industry.
469
00:32:00,630 --> 00:32:06,830
Me and Devon did not invent putting
people through tables.
470
00:32:07,250 --> 00:32:10,190
Me and Devon made it cool.
471
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:23,080
They most certainly did, and it goes to
show that the best catchphrases are born
472
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:28,100
organically. Although, our next
catchphrase may have been born
473
00:32:28,820 --> 00:32:34,380
You see, WWE superstar Ron Simmons was
known to mutter damn to himself anytime
474
00:32:34,380 --> 00:32:36,380
something didn't go his way in the ring.
475
00:32:36,620 --> 00:32:40,820
Well, fans in the first few rows at live
events could hear this, and before
476
00:32:40,820 --> 00:32:43,120
long, they began to chant damn during
matches.
477
00:32:43,340 --> 00:32:44,600
And, you know.
478
00:32:44,940 --> 00:32:49,120
Once the WWE universe gets a hold of
something, the rest is history.
479
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,120
Damn.
480
00:32:52,420 --> 00:32:54,220
Damn. Damn.
481
00:32:54,540 --> 00:32:55,540
Damn.
482
00:32:58,100 --> 00:33:00,720
So let me tell you something about Ron
Simmons, right?
483
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,740
First, worldly recognized African
-American world champion.
484
00:33:05,220 --> 00:33:09,420
He has realized his dream to become the
best in the world.
485
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,900
One of the greatest tag team specialists
of all time.
486
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:13,500
The APA.
487
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:15,900
The baddest of the bad.
488
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,220
All -American in college football.
489
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,560
He's in the College Football Hall of
Fame. He's in the WWE Hall of Fame. But
490
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:29,340
some odd reason, despite all those
accolades, the one thing he is known for
491
00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:31,500
than anything is one word.
492
00:33:32,300 --> 00:33:33,300
Bam!
493
00:33:33,580 --> 00:33:34,680
There might be...
494
00:33:34,990 --> 00:33:39,650
No one better at summation in a single
word than Ron Simmons.
495
00:33:39,910 --> 00:33:46,410
I mean, he figured out one word that can
let you know everything
496
00:33:46,410 --> 00:33:49,070
about what's happening in a room.
497
00:33:49,990 --> 00:33:54,650
More than anything, I thought what made
it catch on with its popularity is my
498
00:33:54,650 --> 00:33:56,430
voice and the way it's being said.
499
00:33:56,850 --> 00:33:59,790
If you don't feel the uh right here,
don't even try to say it.
500
00:34:00,450 --> 00:34:04,330
This is so funny, and his comedic timing
with it.
501
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,200
Perfect. Always.
502
00:34:06,900 --> 00:34:10,460
If you were seeing two people interact
backstage, whenever you felt that, like,
503
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,960
there's some tension at all, this is a
bit awkward between them two.
504
00:34:13,300 --> 00:34:14,940
God almighty.
505
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:22,000
You are the tooth fairy, the world's
largest tooth fairy. Some craziness will
506
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,780
happening around him. He wouldn't even
be in the room sometimes.
507
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,320
Like, he would just magically appear.
508
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,159
It was so exciting to just kind of watch
in the corners of the screen thinking,
509
00:34:30,219 --> 00:34:34,820
is he coming? He always made you wait
like that extra one or two seconds and
510
00:34:34,820 --> 00:34:36,540
then he would hit you with the payoff.
511
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:41,780
And as soon as he would say it, it's
just like instant joy.
512
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,739
You never knew when it was coming and it
got you every time.
513
00:34:45,980 --> 00:34:49,960
That to me was my favorite part. Just
seeing who he was saying it to, their
514
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,159
reactions when they would jump.
515
00:34:51,780 --> 00:34:53,920
It was so versatile.
516
00:34:54,650 --> 00:34:59,150
It was so easy to use in pretty much
every situation imaginable.
517
00:35:00,890 --> 00:35:03,130
You know,
518
00:35:04,810 --> 00:35:07,790
it can be an upset damn. It can be a
happy damn. It can be an angry damn.
519
00:35:08,090 --> 00:35:11,930
Many variations of damn. And I think Ron
Simmons has perfected all of them.
520
00:35:12,150 --> 00:35:18,870
Damn is a word we all say, but we don't
say
521
00:35:18,870 --> 00:35:20,170
it like Ron Simmons.
522
00:35:20,390 --> 00:35:23,910
There's something different about it
coming off of that man's lips.
523
00:35:24,300 --> 00:35:28,240
Ron Simmons is not a man that you want
to see angry.
524
00:35:28,580 --> 00:35:32,320
So that damn immediately brings everyone
to attention.
525
00:35:32,660 --> 00:35:33,660
Damn!
526
00:35:33,860 --> 00:35:36,700
One of the best catchphrases ever, and
it's only one word.
527
00:35:36,940 --> 00:35:37,940
Man, a few words.
528
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:39,740
Everybody can relate to damn.
529
00:35:40,900 --> 00:35:44,500
Everybody. Ron Simmons, that pretty much
says it all.
530
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:49,500
To be able to show up on any WWE program
and utter one word, still get a
531
00:35:49,500 --> 00:35:51,660
paycheck? God bless you, Ron Simmons.
532
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,320
Damn!
533
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:56,360
Okay, let me try.
534
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:58,040
Damn!
535
00:35:58,380 --> 00:36:04,420
Not bad, right? But I do agree. Ron
Simmons' guttural damn just cannot be
536
00:36:04,420 --> 00:36:10,540
replicated and has become one of the all
-time great gifts on social media. It's
537
00:36:10,540 --> 00:36:11,960
true. It's damn true.
538
00:36:12,380 --> 00:36:18,300
See what I did there? A seamless
transition to a catchphrase made famous
539
00:36:18,300 --> 00:36:20,380
Hall of Famer Kurt Angle.
540
00:36:20,700 --> 00:36:25,840
Now, your Olympic hero was known to tout
his many achievements. And no matter
541
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:30,160
how annoying it would be to some of us
fans, it's hard to contest the wrestling
542
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,960
machine's claims, especially when the
man speaking punctuates his statement
543
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,020
such a clear validation of the truth.
544
00:36:38,900 --> 00:36:43,760
Kurt Angle, the most celebrated real
athlete in WWF history.
545
00:36:46,030 --> 00:36:51,410
Nobody has taken to the world of sports
entertainment from outside of it the way
546
00:36:51,410 --> 00:36:52,810
Kurt Angle did.
547
00:36:53,250 --> 00:36:57,450
It's no surprise that he's an incredible
athlete. He won an Olympic medal with a
548
00:36:57,450 --> 00:37:02,950
broken freaking neck. But it's the fact
that on that first night, he was able to
549
00:37:02,950 --> 00:37:07,990
grab a microphone and tell the audience,
you do not boo an Olympic gold
550
00:37:07,990 --> 00:37:10,270
medalist. Oh, it's true. It's true.
551
00:37:10,990 --> 00:37:13,270
You do not boo Olympic gold medalists.
552
00:37:14,060 --> 00:37:16,020
I'm the best in the world. It's true.
553
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,520
It's true. You do not boo me.
554
00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:24,880
And immediately you knew exactly who you
were dealing with. Nobody wants to be
555
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:29,140
told something and then have the person
brag about it. I might as well be the
556
00:37:29,140 --> 00:37:31,320
poster boy for Ruthless Aggressive.
557
00:37:31,740 --> 00:37:32,740
Oh, it's true.
558
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,160
It's true.
559
00:37:34,820 --> 00:37:39,620
It's true, especially after he just said
a bunch of nonsense. It was incredible,
560
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,580
and it would just rile people up.
561
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:47,840
And I've seen rednecks all around the
world. And I have to say that you people
562
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:53,580
are definitely the most genuine
rednecks. It's true. Give yourself a
563
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,520
I understand you don't like this, but
don't boo.
564
00:37:56,860 --> 00:37:57,920
It's a fact.
565
00:37:58,490 --> 00:38:00,850
I am. I'm better than you. It's true.
It's true.
566
00:38:02,010 --> 00:38:04,670
It's film. This is not video. This is
not like law.
567
00:38:04,890 --> 00:38:05,890
Things take time.
568
00:38:06,030 --> 00:38:10,470
Hey, I do film all the time. It's true.
Here's an Olympic gold medalist who's
569
00:38:10,470 --> 00:38:13,390
clearly above and beyond anyone else on
the roster.
570
00:38:13,630 --> 00:38:17,010
His guard didn't have to be up. He had
nothing to prove.
571
00:38:17,350 --> 00:38:22,690
Your Olympic hero is going to bring home
the big one. And that, my friends, is
572
00:38:22,690 --> 00:38:26,190
true. This is a guy who's so
accomplished and he knows it.
573
00:38:26,460 --> 00:38:30,820
So he had no problem laying it all out
there. And when he got a little pushback
574
00:38:30,820 --> 00:38:35,000
from the fans or who he's talking to,
no, it's true. Oh, it's true.
575
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:39,540
Join me in Olympic Heroes for
abstinence. The best sex is no sex.
576
00:38:39,900 --> 00:38:40,859
It's true.
577
00:38:40,860 --> 00:38:45,040
It's true. When he would tell you
something that you knew wasn't
578
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,040
true, and then he doubled down on it by
saying, oh, it's true.
579
00:38:48,860 --> 00:38:52,640
It's just, it made you want to see
somebody tear his head off. And we all
580
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,600
that if we wait for Patrick Ewing.
581
00:38:55,130 --> 00:39:00,470
and the New York Knicks to bring home a
title, we'd probably be waiting forever.
582
00:39:01,590 --> 00:39:03,950
We would. We would. It's true.
583
00:39:04,250 --> 00:39:07,950
Just when you think a man has invented a
catchphrase, he evolved the
584
00:39:07,950 --> 00:39:11,050
catchphrase. Has this ever been done
before in WWE history?
585
00:39:11,730 --> 00:39:16,990
Not that I know of. It used to just be
true, but then it became damn true.
586
00:39:17,430 --> 00:39:18,430
Well, it's true.
587
00:39:18,940 --> 00:39:22,580
It's damn true. Kurt Angle just got
under people's skins in general. He's
588
00:39:22,580 --> 00:39:25,840
Olympic gold medal. So when he's then
arrogant on top of it, you think, oh, I
589
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,240
can't hang this guy.
590
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:28,640
It's true.
591
00:39:29,460 --> 00:39:30,760
Don't make me say it again.
592
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,100
Look, I know it is. That doesn't mean I
don't hate you. That doesn't mean you're
593
00:39:34,100 --> 00:39:35,420
unbearable on my TV screen.
594
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:36,840
I'm an Olympic champion.
595
00:39:37,140 --> 00:39:38,640
It's true. It's damn true.
596
00:39:38,940 --> 00:39:42,400
Oh, I can't stand you because it is. It
is true.
597
00:39:44,380 --> 00:39:45,620
Oh, it's true.
598
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,920
Whoa, Kurt, who are you staring at? I'll
tell you what that is. That's the face
599
00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:04,480
you make when you've just finished
watching three minutes of your Olympic
600
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:08,180
bragging and preaching to anyone who
will listen.
601
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:14,400
Okay, okay. Let me talk to you about
this next catchphrase. Another one -word
602
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:20,920
slogan that has gained massive
popularity at the hands of WWE superstar
603
00:40:20,940 --> 00:40:26,280
Knight. Knight is one of the most
charismatic stars in WWE today, and to
604
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,980
out on the mic. So it's no surprise that
he's got all the people saying, yeah!
605
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,420
Let me talk to him!
606
00:40:37,380 --> 00:40:41,800
Listen to this place!
607
00:40:43,380 --> 00:40:45,000
Tell them whose game this is!
608
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,600
This is the current hotness.
609
00:40:50,940 --> 00:40:57,760
in the catchphrase world yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah
610
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:03,960
it's just fun it's just a great time i'm
having fun right now yeah it's like
611
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:10,300
something comes over me i can't even
yeah there can only be one me yeah
612
00:41:10,300 --> 00:41:11,820
la night baby
613
00:41:14,779 --> 00:41:19,540
The whole world jumps to their feet
feeling like a Vorka because I made it
614
00:41:19,540 --> 00:41:20,540
way. Yeah.
615
00:41:21,940 --> 00:41:23,160
He's got a swagger.
616
00:41:23,380 --> 00:41:27,940
He's got a style to him. I'm the best
decision this company ever made.
617
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,700
Man's walking out there with gold chains
and Timberlands.
618
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,920
How can you not like this guy?
619
00:41:33,140 --> 00:41:35,100
And L .A. Knight is feeling it.
620
00:41:38,300 --> 00:41:39,300
Big elbow.
621
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,760
We didn't come off to do the glorious
bomb.
622
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,920
Four war games and we all teamed
together.
623
00:41:44,380 --> 00:41:46,220
And he said, war games, yeah.
624
00:41:47,500 --> 00:41:52,300
And we knew if this got the opportunity
to show the whole world that this thing
625
00:41:52,300 --> 00:41:56,360
would blow up. Heard it once, and he
just went, ah, he's got something.
626
00:41:56,660 --> 00:42:02,300
Yeah! It just brings you right back to a
time where that microphone was a
627
00:42:02,300 --> 00:42:03,300
dangerous weapon.
628
00:42:03,620 --> 00:42:07,500
I brought you a little gift. It's a map.
If you follow this, you'll find the
629
00:42:07,500 --> 00:42:10,780
exact directions of where you can stick
each and every one of those bottles of
630
00:42:10,780 --> 00:42:11,780
Prime. Yeah!
631
00:42:14,380 --> 00:42:19,800
Growing up, for the very first time on
NXT, he cast me off screen.
632
00:42:20,300 --> 00:42:23,700
I'm going to put it to you like this.
Don't worry about what I'm doing here.
633
00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:26,700
go ahead and take a walk in, Sel. Ain't
nobody trying to hear your prepubescent
634
00:42:26,700 --> 00:42:31,300
voice. As a broadcaster, this voice,
this is all I've got.
635
00:42:31,820 --> 00:42:34,900
Nana! Called me a Pop -Tart ring
announcer.
636
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:39,680
This little Pop -Tart announcer over
here, you got lost in these baby blues.
637
00:42:39,860 --> 00:42:40,860
Yeah!
638
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,480
He says, hoo -ha -da! than top dollar. A
lot, a lot of, yeah.
639
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:51,940
L .A. Knight has him on their feet.
640
00:42:54,540 --> 00:42:59,480
A yeah movement is happening, whether
you like it or not.
641
00:42:59,700 --> 00:43:03,340
Will everybody say it? L .A. Knight!
642
00:43:04,900 --> 00:43:11,300
Watching L .A. Knight's ascension to
superstardom has been truly
643
00:43:11,300 --> 00:43:16,810
awesome. Which, speaking of, is a word
our next catchphrase connoisseur has
644
00:43:16,810 --> 00:43:22,090
claimed as his own. I'm talking about
the Miz, whose mission in life is to let
645
00:43:22,090 --> 00:43:26,470
everyone know that he's the Miz and he's
awesome!
646
00:43:28,350 --> 00:43:33,310
Love him or hate him, agree or disagree,
one thing's certain. The A -lister's
647
00:43:33,310 --> 00:43:38,190
arrogance has fueled his two -decade
-long career, and that is kind of
648
00:43:40,110 --> 00:43:46,630
Hello, I am the most must -see WWE
superstar, The Miz, and I'm awesome!
649
00:43:47,990 --> 00:43:53,790
100 % I'm The Miz, and I'm awesome is a
very self -serving catchphrase.
650
00:43:54,110 --> 00:43:56,110
And there is The Miz, the A -lister!
651
00:43:56,650 --> 00:43:59,430
Very fitting for The Miz's catchphrase
to be, I'm awesome.
652
00:43:59,630 --> 00:44:01,110
He's clearly very full of himself.
653
00:44:01,490 --> 00:44:05,570
TV talk show in history, welcome to...
Miz TV!
654
00:44:07,470 --> 00:44:08,690
The Conceited!
655
00:44:09,210 --> 00:44:12,750
Hard, but fair. Sad, but true. It's
good.
656
00:44:13,130 --> 00:44:16,150
Smackdown Live is now the A show.
657
00:44:16,550 --> 00:44:19,570
I make it must see. I bring the ratings.
658
00:44:20,110 --> 00:44:22,330
The Miz is absolutely arrogant.
659
00:44:23,230 --> 00:44:25,690
Uh -oh! Skull crushing finale!
660
00:44:27,330 --> 00:44:29,890
Of course he would come out and say that
he's awesome.
661
00:44:30,130 --> 00:44:31,490
We all want to be awesome.
662
00:44:31,850 --> 00:44:34,630
And the Miz completely believes that
he's awesome.
663
00:44:35,930 --> 00:44:37,630
Very loud.
664
00:44:38,570 --> 00:44:45,290
In your face, obnoxious, maybe thinks
he's a little better than he actually
665
00:44:45,290 --> 00:44:46,290
is.
666
00:44:46,710 --> 00:44:47,710
Really?
667
00:44:48,790 --> 00:44:52,890
Really? We just hate arrogance, don't
we? In life, you meet anyone who's
668
00:44:52,890 --> 00:44:57,870
arrogant and we hate it, and here's
someone coming out and looks great, you
669
00:44:57,870 --> 00:44:59,250
instantly can't stand them.
670
00:45:00,330 --> 00:45:03,970
I think the beauty of The Miz's
catchphrase is just the simplicity of
671
00:45:04,190 --> 00:45:07,770
In six words, The Miz completely
describes...
672
00:45:08,010 --> 00:45:09,010
Everything about himself.
673
00:45:09,390 --> 00:45:10,430
I'm the Miz.
674
00:45:12,110 --> 00:45:18,670
And I'm... At first I was like, oh, this
is never going to catch on. But it's
675
00:45:18,670 --> 00:45:20,850
very much something we love to repeat.
676
00:45:24,270 --> 00:45:31,170
Once he hits you with it, you can't help
but stay
677
00:45:31,170 --> 00:45:31,968
with him.
678
00:45:31,970 --> 00:45:33,090
Don't leave your seats.
679
00:45:33,310 --> 00:45:35,250
Things are about to blossom.
680
00:45:35,610 --> 00:45:37,510
Because I'm the Miz.
681
00:45:39,319 --> 00:45:42,260
And I'm awesome!
682
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:47,880
You have a connection with people.
683
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:54,520
It makes you feel good inside and makes
you able to perform to the ability that
684
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:55,520
you want to perform in.
685
00:45:55,660 --> 00:45:59,100
He's got the charisma. He's got that
money -making face. He's got it all.
686
00:45:59,460 --> 00:46:02,620
Who wouldn't want to go out there with
that kind of confidence and exude that?
687
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,200
Only The Miz could pull that off.
688
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,620
My hat's off to him for making it work,
man.
689
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,000
He's made it awesome.
690
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,420
Who am I? I'm The Miz.
691
00:46:11,700 --> 00:46:12,700
What am I?
692
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,980
Awesome. There's your catchphrase. I'm
The Miz and I'm awesome.
693
00:46:20,180 --> 00:46:23,800
Not many with as massive an ego as The
Miz.
694
00:46:24,060 --> 00:46:27,380
He certainly insists that he is heard
and seen.
695
00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:34,700
Quite unlike the Doctor of Thuganomics
future WWE Hall of Famer John Cena, who
696
00:46:34,700 --> 00:46:36,820
actually claims that you can't see him.
697
00:46:39,150 --> 00:46:44,430
Whether a taunt in the ring or a fire
meme on social media, this catchphrase,
698
00:46:44,430 --> 00:46:46,750
like the man himself, one of the goats.
699
00:46:48,970 --> 00:46:51,070
You can't see me.
700
00:46:51,650 --> 00:46:55,930
You can't see me. It's become such a
huge thing.
701
00:46:56,370 --> 00:46:57,530
It's not just the words.
702
00:46:57,890 --> 00:46:59,370
It's the hand gesture.
703
00:46:59,730 --> 00:47:00,930
What's Sheena doing here?
704
00:47:01,410 --> 00:47:02,348
Oh, look at this.
705
00:47:02,350 --> 00:47:04,010
Mom. Dad.
706
00:47:05,490 --> 00:47:06,490
Older brother.
707
00:47:07,110 --> 00:47:08,110
Baby cousin.
708
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:09,600
He's six months old.
709
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:10,800
I don't care.
710
00:47:11,300 --> 00:47:14,540
John is telling you can't see me. You
can't see me.
711
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,840
When the hang goes up, everyone's on the
edge of their seat. I'll do it, do it,
712
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:18,840
do it, do it.
713
00:47:18,980 --> 00:47:20,420
You can't see me.
714
00:47:20,700 --> 00:47:22,140
You can't see me.
715
00:47:23,180 --> 00:47:25,380
One thing about catchphrases is they
don't often make sense.
716
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:27,600
It seems like it works better if it
makes no sense.
717
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,660
John Cena's you can't see me, probably
at the top of the list.
718
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:32,540
I can't see you.
719
00:47:32,780 --> 00:47:36,260
John Cena, big jacked up Superman type
guy. What do you mean?
720
00:47:36,810 --> 00:47:39,710
Do you really think you have, like,
invisibility powers?
721
00:47:40,570 --> 00:47:41,570
What does it mean?
722
00:47:42,570 --> 00:47:46,010
I think I have an idea, but can someone
please smart me up?
723
00:47:47,610 --> 00:47:50,910
Okay. I'm so glad you asked me to
translate this.
724
00:47:52,050 --> 00:47:58,550
You can't see me is derivative of hip
-hop vernacular and basically means
725
00:47:58,550 --> 00:48:01,630
not on my level. You're not as good as
me. You're not in the same league as me.
726
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:08,960
It was taken from a Tony Yeo record. And
that song, he goes like this, like just
727
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,820
for a hot second. It wasn't even that
long. And then maybe a few months later,
728
00:48:13,060 --> 00:48:18,240
John Cena starts hitting people with
the, you know, you can't see me. You
729
00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:19,240
see me.
730
00:48:20,260 --> 00:48:25,420
You can't see me is not just important
to the history of sports entertainment.
731
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,420
It's important to the history of the
internet.
732
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:34,680
Like this ongoing joke now that has
become a worldwide phenomenon to just
733
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,040
able to physically actually see John
Cena.
734
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:43,300
The memes of here I am with John Cena,
you know, and there's nobody there.
735
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,480
Why is this Funko Pop John Cena
translucent?
736
00:48:47,500 --> 00:48:48,620
Because you can't see him.
737
00:48:49,500 --> 00:48:51,740
I just saw John two or three weeks ago.
738
00:48:52,060 --> 00:48:54,840
He was doing something and I was like,
hey, I just want to come say hi to you.
739
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,500
don't know when the next time I'm going
to see you. And he's like, well, that's
740
00:48:57,500 --> 00:48:58,439
kind of my thing.
741
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:02,060
Wait, he can see me? I've never seen
John Cena yet.
742
00:49:02,300 --> 00:49:04,180
Ladies and gentlemen, John Cena!
743
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:06,720
Um, what's going on?
744
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,100
Sit around him.
745
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:11,440
I've never seen him. You can't see him!
746
00:49:11,780 --> 00:49:14,320
He's sitting right here!
747
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,400
I didn't think John Cena realized how
big it was going to get.
748
00:49:22,740 --> 00:49:27,100
You see kids doing it. You see athletes
doing it. My son, Will.
749
00:49:27,660 --> 00:49:29,000
He's 19 months old.
750
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,820
He thinks that waving is this.
751
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:34,800
Can you say hi?
752
00:49:36,180 --> 00:49:40,180
I mean, that just speaks to the power of
John Cena. It's honestly pretty crazy
753
00:49:40,180 --> 00:49:45,080
that he's been able to take the phrase,
you can't see me, from mocking an
754
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,020
opponent to just, you know, something
worldwide.
755
00:49:47,420 --> 00:49:51,040
He's the Hall of Famer from the Dallas
Cowboys, Michael Urban.
756
00:49:51,540 --> 00:49:53,980
It's camouflage and John Cena. You can't
see him.
757
00:50:00,550 --> 00:50:03,370
Mr. Hustle, loyalty, and respect.
758
00:50:04,070 --> 00:50:09,130
John Cena has certainly earned our love
and respect, and we do see you, John, an
759
00:50:09,130 --> 00:50:11,810
iconic catchphrase that will stand the
test of time.
760
00:50:12,130 --> 00:50:16,650
That wraps up our list, but before we
say goodbye, we have to pay homage to
761
00:50:16,650 --> 00:50:20,810
final catchphrase, the one invented by
the WWE Universe.
762
00:50:21,070 --> 00:50:26,910
Fans who love absolutely everything
about WWE and let us know by chanting in
763
00:50:26,910 --> 00:50:29,870
arenas around the world, this is...
764
00:50:38,439 --> 00:50:42,400
You all are our inspiration for this
show. Thank you so much.
765
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:47,100
We hope you enjoyed this look back at
the most awesome catchphrases in WWE
766
00:50:47,100 --> 00:50:48,100
history.
767
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:51,660
I'm your host, Greg Miller, and it's
been my pleasure to serve you.
768
00:50:57,930 --> 00:51:02,670
On the next This is Awesome, Volume 2 of
the most awesome moments in
769
00:51:02,670 --> 00:51:04,010
WrestleMania history.
770
00:51:04,350 --> 00:51:08,230
The boyhood dream has come true. From
the ultimate.
771
00:51:08,650 --> 00:51:10,270
The Warriors won the title!
772
00:51:10,630 --> 00:51:14,530
To the epic. Don't call his sinking
hands for Satan himself!
773
00:51:15,170 --> 00:51:17,630
It's sports entertainment's grandest
stage.
774
00:51:18,010 --> 00:51:19,870
Known for legendary beginnings.
775
00:51:20,130 --> 00:51:22,410
Batista has won the world title!
776
00:51:22,850 --> 00:51:24,390
And storybook endings.
777
00:51:24,810 --> 00:51:26,310
They said it couldn't be done!
778
00:51:26,610 --> 00:51:29,530
Witness the showcase of the immortals.
I'm not done!
779
00:51:30,110 --> 00:51:35,050
Only on the next This Is Us.
