Line #145 BadassBoast/ProfessionalWrestling


1	* Most, if not all, wrestlers' theme songs will have these. That's kind of the whole point of having theme music for the wrestlers to come out to.
2	** Wrestling/TripleH's theme:
3	--->I am the game, you don't wanna play me
4	--->I am control, no way you can change me
5	--->I am heavy debt, no way you can pay me
6	--->I am the pain, and I know you can't take me
7	--->Look over your shoulder, ready to run
8	--->Like a good little bitch, from a smoking gun
9	--->I am the game, and I make the rules
10	--->So move on out, and you can die like a fool
11	--->Try and figure out what the move's gonna be
12	--->Come on over sucker, why don't you ask me?
13	--->Don't you forget there's a price you can pay
14	--->Because I am the Game, and I want to play
15	** Wrestling/RandyOrton's theme:
16	--->I have a voice that is my savior
17	--->Hates to love and loves to hate
18	--->I have the voice that has the knowledge
19	--->And the power to rule your fate
20	--->I hear voices in my head
21	--->They council me
22	--->They understand
23	--->They talk to me, they talk to me
24	--->They tell me things that I will do

42	--->The one force of nature they call by name
43	--->I come from tomorrow to take back today

48	--->Don't think that you can know me
49	--->Don't try to play that game
50	--->Each day that I get better

55	--->I go inside this light
56	--->I see new life unfold
57	--->Each second I burn brighter
58	--->Your fire is going cold
59	--->You could try to beg for mercy

66
67	--->(I came to play!) I came to play, there a price to pay\
68	Time for you to get down on your knees and pray\

70	They're never coming back, watch your future fade\
71	(I came to play!) I came to play to get my dues paid\

92	** [[Wrestling/ExoticAdrianStreet "Exotic" Adrian Street]] had [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bhLK6XPKCs his own take]] on the badass boast
93	--->I can tear a telephone directory in two
94	--->Bending iron bars is something else that I can do
95	--->I always pick my teeth with the nearest billiard cue
96	--->So imagine what I could do to you
97	* Wrestling promos also often fall under this trope, like Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin's "Austin 3:16" promo that is often credited (along with Wrestling/DGenerationX) with ushering in Wrestling/{{WWE}}'s Wrestling/AttitudeEra.
98	-->"You sit there and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn't get you anywhere! Talk about your Psalms, talk about John 3:16... Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass!"
99	** Not only that, but just one month after his victory at the 1996 Wrestling/KingOfTheRing, he provided this gem of a line in another promo:
100	-->"On the eighth day, God created Stone Cold and I'm rewriting the book! I will continue to whip every one's ass until someone's got the guts, the talent, or a ''machine gun'' to stop me!"
101	* Wrestling/TheUndertaker's speech when the Wrestling/MinistryOfDarkness sacrificed Dennis Knight on the January 11, 1999 ''[[Wrestling/{{WWERaw}} Raw]]'':
102	-->"For I am the Reaper of Men, the Chaser of Souls, the Weaver of Nightmares. I am the heart of darkness."
103	** Another Undertaker example: "I built the Devil's house brick by fiery brick, and when I come calling, he still answers me with 'Sir'."[[note]]This boast was said after Wrestling/{{Kane}} boasted on how he was the Devil's favorite demon, which was also badass.[[/note]]
104	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aS1Xfb6ckE Pain And Destruction]]
105	* Wrestling/CMPunk's now-legendary WorkedShoot just before he threatened to take his championship and leave WWE after beating Wrestling/JohnCena has this:
106	-->'''Punk''': ...day in and day out, for almost six years, I have proved to everybody in the world that I am the best—on this microphone! In the ring! [[StealthInsult Even on commentary]]! NOBODY CAN TOUCH ME!
107	** And again, in a promo on [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]]:
108	-->'''Punk''': Come ''Wrestling/RoyalRumble'', understand, when you step in the ring, your arms are just too short to box with God.
109	* Jon Moxley/Wrestling/DeanAmbrose speaks Badass Boast fluently.
110	-->"A lot of people have lost a lot of money betting against me."
111	* Wrestling/{{Raven}}'s best boasts combine with his nihilist outlook to verge on the nightmarish.
112	-->"I am the living, breathing embodiment of the Khmer Rouge. I am the most unforgiving person on the planet. I am a human cancer. I am a killer, warrior, and slaughterer of so many souls, that even God, Allah, and Buddha, working overtime, are having a hard time keeping score."
113	* [[Wrestling/CurtisAxel "To beat me, you have to be better than perfect!"]]
114	* Wrestling/TheOddities' theme by Music/InsaneClownPosse:
115	-->"I'm a sideshow looney, watch me get nuts.\
116	I do backflips out in fronta mad trucks\
117	In high school the kids always gave us props\
118	Cause I was 9 feet tall, and my boy's a {{Cyclops}}\
119	I can swim shark-filled waters\
120	Yeah, well I can chew nails and spit out quarters"
121	** The third verse adds:
122	-->"We's a little bit twisted I'll gladly admit it\
123	I can unscrew my head off and shoot hoops with it"
124	* Wrestling/TheWyattFamily loved this. Some examples...
125	--> '''Wrestling/BrayWyatt:''' "People buy and sell fear. They worship war, they crave war. But I'm not afraid of their wars, [[WroteTheBook I CREATED WAR!]]"
126	-->'''Bray Wyatt:''' "I am the color red in a world of black and white!"
127	-->'''Wrestling/LukeHarper:''' "Send us someone. [[ImpliedDeathThreat Just don't send anyone you want back.]]"
128	--> '''Bray Wyatt:''' "If [[Wrestling/JohnCena you]] look up at me, you will see a friend. If you look down at me, you will see an enemy, but if you look me in the eye, you will see ''{{a god\|AmI}}''."
129	--> '''Bray Wyatt:''' "[[Wrestling/JustinGabriel Foolish child]], I am the eater of worlds!"
130	--> '''Luke Harper:''' "[[Wrestling/TheShield You three boys]] picked a beautiful hill to die on."
131	--> '''Wrestling/ErickRowan:''' '''Run.'''
132	* [[Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield JBL]] is who he says he is:
133	--> "WRESTLING..."
134	--> [[DramaticPause ...]]
135	--> "'''[[AGodAmI GOD]]'''"
136	* Wrestling/{{Ryback}} said before his match with Bray Wyatt at ''Payback 2015'', "Today, the Eater of Worlds gets eaten."
137	* Scott Steiner, during his TNA run, and a longwinded, [[NoIndoorVoice high volume,]] awesome, bugshit insane boast that explained how he had a 141 and 2/3rds percent chance of beating Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle in a three way match at the upcoming PPV. The promo can be heard [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFoC3TR5rzI here.]]
138	* In a promo for a match against The London Riots in Wrestling/{{PROGRESS Wrestling}}, [[Wrestling/AleisterBlack Tommy End]] of The Sumerian Death Squad said "I am The Devil and I've brought hell with me" whilst pointing towards his tag partner Michael Dante.
139	* Wrestling/TheShield had some in their day. It started with Dean Ambrose, before their in-ring debut:
140	-->'''Wrestling/DeanAmbrose''': At the TLC pay-per-view, bring ladders! Bring tables! Bring chairs! Wrestling/TheShield brings ''the sword.''
141	** The following year:
142	-->'''Wrestling/SethRollins''': We're carved into stone, we're forged out of iron. Wrestling/TheShield ''({{beat}})'' is unyielding.
143	** And against Wrestling/RoddyPiper:
144	-->'''Wrestling/RomanReigns''': ...If you ever touch me again, I'm gonna break your old ass in half.
145	* {{Wrestling/Naomi\|Wrestler}} responded to Wrestling/AlexaBliss pretending [[RecognitionFailure she didn't know who she was]] with...
146	--> "Who am I? I'll show you exactly who I am. Why don't you come step through those ropes? Girl, I will snatch that blonde hair [[SuddenlyShouting BALD]]!"
147	* Double subverted with Debbie Keitel's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rW2T2SGLoM debut promo]]. She says "honestly, I'm nobody" but then reaffirms that she's someone who has [[{{Determinator}} worked really hard]].

152	* Wrestling/HacksawJimDuggan: [[NoIndoorVoice "HOOOO! HACKSAW'S GONNA DO WHAT HACKSAW CAME HERE TO DO! BEAT PEOPLE UP! WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT, TOUGH GUY? HOOO!"]]
153	* "Because I'm Wrestling/{{Taz\|z}}, [[RedBaron The Human Suplex Machine]]! Beat me if you can! Survive if I let you!"
154	* [[Wrestling/{{Vader}} Big Van Vader]]: "I fear no man! I feel no pain! What time is it? VADER TIME!"
155	* Wrestling/TheRoadWarriors, big time.
156	-->"By the time we're done with you, it'll look like we set fire to your face and put it out with an ax!"
157	-->"[[Wrestling/HerculesHernandez Power]] and Glory (Paul Roma)? When we get done with you, you'll be Sour and Gory, uhhh, what a rush!"
158	* Wrestling/DLoBrown's theme:
159	-->"You're looking at the real deal now\
160	Gonna kick your sorry ass out onto the street\
161	You think you own the streets\
