History VerbalTic / ProfessionalWrestling

* Virtually anybody who cuts a promo (whether it's a straight promo or an interview), especially those before the Attitude Era, will say "let me tell you something" or "I'll tell you what", or "well, you know something" several times during the segment.
* Wrestling/RicFlair is almost incapable of finishing a sentence without adding at least one "Wooo!".The more passionate he gets, the more they show up.
** To a lesser extent, Wrestling/OwenHart, "Whoo!"
* Wrestling/DustyRhodes, if you wiiiiiiiiiiiill. Also 'Daddeh'.
* Wrestling/ExoticAdrianStreet? Mmm, nice.
* Let me tell you something, brother, that Wrestling/HulkHogan sure uses "brother" a lot, brother![[note]]Although, it's not like he's the only one who does it, man / dude / jack![[/note]]
** This goes all the way back to when he was Terry Boulder, daddy!
* Wrestling/HacksawJimDuggan: "Hooo!" (pronounced "hoe"), "Tough Guy!", and "U-S-A!"
* [[Wrestling/RandySavage Randy "Macho Man" Savage]]: "OOOOOHHHHHH YYYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" He also frequently used "YEAH!" and "DIG IT!" as punctuation.
* Wrestling/GeorgeSteele and '''"YOU!"'''
* ''Mira''. I don't know what you heard, mang, but [[Wrestling/ScottHall Razor Ramon]] has no verbal tics, chico.
* The Wrestling/UltimateWarrior punctuated his sentences with a sort of nasal, feral grunt, which got immortalized in his short-lived [[Comicbook/{{Warrior}} comic book]] as, "SKRONK!"
* Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin (''WHAT?'') used to do this by adding "[[BigWhat What?]]" (''WHAT?'') between ''every word he spoke'' (''WHAT?'') to cut off any response, (''WHAT?'') a habit that started during his memorable 2001 [[FaceHeelTurn heel run]] (''WHAT?'') (when it was ''supposed'' to be rude and annoying). (''WHAT?'') Like most things during that run, the [[MisaimedFandom crowd absolutely loved it]] and used it (''WHAT?'') long after Stone Cold stopped. (''WHAT?'')
* Whenever a unexpected guest comes out, expect Wrestling/JerryLawler to say [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRn0tRzsgjs "WHAT?" in the most shocked tone ever]].
* Wrestling/ScottSteiner's "HUH?!"
* Wrestling/JimRoss would often say things [[RuleOfThree three times! three times! three times]], bah gawd!
* Whenever Wrestling/ChrisJericho locks in a submission he screams "ASK HIM!" Presumably he's telling the ref to ask if his opponent submits, but he's even said it when holding someone outside a match with no referees in sight.
* "WA-AHHHH" from Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr during matches.
* [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince [=McMahon=]]] says "GODDAMNIT!" a lot off camera.
** He also uses the words "quite frankly" ''on'' camera a lot.
* Well, you know, it's like, not even exclusive to wrestlers, you know? Dave Meltzer of ''Wrestling/TheWrestlingObserverNewsletter'' always says "you know" and "well, it's like" during radio shows.
* Wrestling/TripleH went through a period of adding an "uh" sound to every third word he spoke.
* [[Characters/WWECommentators Theodore Long]] says holla, playa. Believe that.
* Wrestling/RonSimmons' "DAMN!" which is [[{{Flanderization}} pretty much the only thing he ever says]].
* The Radiant Rain had a tendency to shout "Yeah", especially if she successively applied a headlock, which, considering this is wrestling we're talking about, ''was a whole lot!''
* Wrestling/SaraDelRey's "yea." which seems to be her trying not to say "[[{{Kiai}} hiya]]"
* The Notorious 187 [[Wrestling/NelsonErazo Homicide]] is notorious for screaming "Brra!" on seemingly random whims, but especially when he's happy. Los Rabiosos and Los Hombres De La Calle were entire ''[[PowerStable stables]]'' with this verbal tic, the former even having it on their [[GangBangers collective wanted poster]]. Wrestling/IvelisseVelez does it sometimes too.
* Wrestling/{{Sheamus}} has a tendency to end every other sentence with "fella," fella.
* Wrestling/{{LayCool}} does this occasionally, saying phrases like "Flawless!" and "Real talk!" always in unison, and always after a short pause.
* Really? No mention of Wrestling/TheMiz? Really? Really? Really?
* Does [[Wrestling/BryanDanielson Daniel Bryan]] have a verbal tic? YES! YES! YES!
** Is that his only verbal tic? NO! NO! NO!
* Wrestling/BrayWyatt says no more lies, man! Wrestling/LukeHarper answers "yeah, yeah, yeah!"
* Zip Zap, one half of All-Star Championship Wrestling's tag team The Nightlife, is Number One. That's what we think he's trying to tell us anyway, has he randomly yells Number One! during his promos, and sometimes continually says "Number One, Number One, Number One!" till he's out of breath.
* Wrestling/PaulHeyman: "MY CLIENT, BROOOOCK LESNAAAR, CONQUERED THE UNDERTAKER'S STREAK AT WRESTLEMANIA!"
* WELLLLLLLLLL...we should also add Hawk of Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors / The Legion of Doom on here. UHHHHHHHH! WHAT A RUSH!
* Just a minute, punk! We shouldn't forget the Wrestling/BigBossMan either, boy!
* Wrestling/TitoSantana did this occasionally, baby!
* On the other hand, baby, "The Mouth of the South" Wrestling/JimmyHart did this on a regular basis.
* Woo! Woo! No mention of "Superfly" Wrestling/JimmySnuka, brudda? Woo! Woo![[note]]He was almost if not just as known for constantly saying "brother" as Hulk Hogan.[[/note]]
* WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAA!! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!! You can't have a page like this without Wrestling/TheBushwhackers!
* [[Wrestling/ShawnMichaels The Rockers]] had one, but it wasn't really as noticeable as the others, and was really only done at the end of their promos! "Yeah!" / "Woo!"
* HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!! When Wrestling/FredOttman wrestled as "Tugboat Thomas" (later just "Tugboat"), he would imitate the sound of a steam whistle while pulling his arm down. During his promos, he usually did this both right at the beginning and right at the end. HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!
* [[Wrestling/JakeRoberts Jake "The Snake" Roberts]] did this too, but it was also one of the less noticeable ones, my man. Even so, brother, he did do it. [[FaceHeelTurn "Trust me"]].
* Uhh, huhhuh, well, ya know... they says, a lotta people says that [[Wrestling/RoddyPiper 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper]] would go on these long run-on sentences, never been pinned in fifteen years, ya know, go off on these WIIILD tangents before makin' a point, Film/TheyLive is a documentary ya know! Covered subjects were usually fighting since he was 15 years old, the rivalry with Wrestling/HulkHogan and/or Mr. T, and whatever politically-flavored opinion happened to go through his head that day.
* Wrestling/{{Sting}} has a tendency to say the name of the person he's talking to every fifth word he says.
* (blows whistle) ATTEN-HUT!! You WILL add Wrestling/SgtSlaughter to this list, maggot! And THAT...is an order!!
* BRO-THER '''''LOVE''''', BE-SIDES HA-VING [[NoIndoorVoice NO, IN-DOOR]], '''''[[NoIndoorVoice VOICE]]''''', CON-STANT-LY DREW '''''OUT''''' AL-MOST EVERY-THING HE WAS '''''SAY'''''-ING!!![[note]]Either that, or he had everything PunctuatedForEmphasis.[[/note]]
** On the other hand, he spoke quite normally when he was just Bruce Prichard[[note]]i.e., before adopting his later Brother Love persona.[[/note]].
