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 |

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 |
44 | --->'''''I am the future!''''' |
45 | ** Wrestling/TheMiz's theme has a few: |
46 | --->Run away if you see me |
47 | --->Don't even say my name |
48 | --->Don't think that you can know me |
49 | --->Don't try to play that game |
50 | --->Each day that I get better |
51 | --->I watch as you get worse |
52 | --->My script is to the letter |
53 | --->And I'll write your final verse |
54 | |

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 |
60 | --->Go ahead and try to run |

71 | (I came to play!) I came to play to get my dues paid\ |
72 | I guess you had a dream, but it can't be saved\ |
73 | (I came to play!) I'm here to stay, best get out of my way\ |
74 | See all these lights there glowing\ |
75 | Hear all these people cheer\ |

83 | --->I never need bod, how could I be scared of a man? |
84 | --->I walk through this land like I run this, man |
85 | --->Never can you imagine the pain that I bring |

91 | ** "{{God}} made TheDevil just for fun. But when He wanted the real thing, He made... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZD3FAUqJEg Aja Kong!]]" |
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]]. |
148 | * On the February 3, 2006 ''[=SmackDown!=]'', Wrestling/GregoryHelms told Josh Matthews, [[IAmTheNoun I AM the Cruiserweight Division!]] |
149 | * [[Wrestling/SidEudy Sid Vicious]]: '''"I AM THE MASTER AND THE RULER OF THE WORLD!"'''' |
150 | * Before Wrestling/PaigeTurner's match with Miss Diss Lexia at ''Inspire Pro Light the Fuse'', she told Erica, "I was the first one here. I am the [[GeniusBonus XX]] Division!" |
151 | * In the promo video for Wrestling/HaniaTheHowlingHuntress' match with Mandy Leon on the ''[[Wrestling/RingOfHonor ROH]] Women of Honor Special'', she said, "I am the most athletic woman in this business!" |
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\ |
162 | Well pack your bags, your ass is dead meat\ |
163 | Victory's sweet, here's a receipt" |
