Welcome to my Top 50 Greatest Wrestling Catchphrases
listing. This will be done in three parts in three days, so don't worry, it's
not a 50 day job like my Top 50 Final Fantasy Characters listing was. Day #1 is
today, I'll list from #50 to #26. Tomorrow I'll list from #25 to #11. I'll then
list the Top 10 on day three, but also talk about why each entry into the Top
10 got to where they are.
Also, unlike My Top 50 FF Characters listing, this isn't a
biased list. This is what I truly think the most important 50 catchphrases are
in the industry, past and present. By industry, yes, I mean WWE. Each wrestler
(not superstar!) in this list has or does work for the company. And by past and
present, I'm not focusing on one part of the history of the biz. I've got eighties,
nineties, noughties and present quotes in there. I've tried to call this down
the line as possible. There is also a maximum of three quotes per wrestler, and
there are a few guys in there that have three, not too may though.
Disagree? Think I've placed a phrase too high or low? Think
I've missed a great catchphrase? Comment below, I'm more than willing to listen
and maybe even change the list if you convince me! This isn't my favourite
list, I don't think #1 is my favourite catchphrase. But it's probably
undisputedly the most important phrase in this wickedly addictive thing we call
wrestling.
And finally, there are commentator quotes on here, but they
are regular catchphrases not particular to a wrestler. this is a list of
catchphrases, not quotes, there are a lot of awesome quotes out there, but they
aren't regular phrases said by the respective people.
Without further ado, here:s #50 - #26 in the Greatest
