1{{Character Catchphrase}}s are a staple of ProfessionalWrestling. Wrestling lives for these, and virtually every wrestler has CharacterCatchphrase or two. As such, it deserves its own page.

5* ''CatchPhrase/DwayneJohnson''
6[[/index]]
7----
8* [[Wrestling/EnzoAndCass Enzo Amore]] had a catch-speech of his own:
9--> ''"'''MY''' name! Is Enzo! Amore! And I am... a Certified G! And a bonafide stud! And you can't! Teach! That!\
10And '''this''' right here?! This is BIIIIIG CASS! And he's seven foot tall! And you can't! Teach! That!\
11And '''this''' right here?! This is Carmella! And she's ''hot as hell!'' And you can't! Teach! That!\
12Bada-boom! Realest guy(s) in the room! How you doin'..?!"''
13** And then [[SigningoffCatchphrase after]] cutting a promo against their opponents in the ring:
14--> ''"There is only ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE YOU, AND I'M GONNA SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU. S. A. W. F. T. SAWFT!"''
15* There's never a bad time for Wrestling/BookerT to refer to someone as a "sucka", most often when, at the end of a promo, he asks "CAN YOU DIG IT, SUCKAAAAAAAA?!"
16** "He didn't say that... TELL ME he did not just say that!" was oft-used in 2001 and referenced afterwards occasionally.
17* During his WWE run as Daniel Bryan, Wrestling/BryanDanielson had "YES! YES! YES!", [[HeyThatsMyLine "NO! NO! NO!"]] and [[ThatManIsDead "FICKLE! FICKLE! FICKLE!"]]
18** And in Wrestling/RingOfHonor under his real name, [[CrowdChant "You're gonna get your fucking head kicked in!"]]
19* Wrestling/DGenerationX:
20** Wrestling/TripleH has one question for you:
21--> ''Are you ready?'' (crowd goes YEAHHHHHHHHH!) ''No! I said... ARE... YOU... READYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? Then... for the thousands in attendance, for the millions watching at home... and for [random line related to some incident]. LEEEEEET'S GET READY TO SUCK IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!''
22** [[Wrestling/BillyGunn The New Age]] [[Wrestling/RoadDogg Outlaws]] had a catch-SPEECH, spoken at the beginning of most of their matches:
23--> ''"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, Wrestling/DGenerationX is proud to present the current/future and (previous reigns)-time TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD...THE ROAD DOGG JESSE JAMES, THE BAD ASS [[Wrestling/BillyGunn BILLY GUNN]], THE NEW! AGE! OUTLAWS!"''
24*** "OH, YOU DIDN'T KNOW? You and your ass better CAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL SOMEBOOOOOOODYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!"
25** And of course, the team's own, iconic [[SigningoffCatchphrase goodbye]]:
26--> ''"And if you ain't down with that, we got TWO WORDS FOR YA!"''[[labelnote:Give it to 'em]]"Suck it!"[[/labelnote]]
27* Wrestling/HacksawJimDuggan's boisterous HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
28* Wrestling/{{Goldberg}} would often demand of the camera a simple "WHO'S NEXT?", fitting for a guy who almost never cut a promo.
29* Did Wrestling/EddieGuerrero tell you he didn't have a catchphrase? [[ILied HE LIED]]!
30* Given the [[ClusterFBomb volatility]] and cult following of his series of shoot interviews, Wrestling/TheIronSheik turned this list into a catch phrase:
31--> ''"Suplex 'em, put 'em in the camel clutch, break his back, fuck his ass, and make him humble!"''
32* In the early years of Wrestling/ProWrestlingZero1 and later, Wrestling/{{TNA}}, Wrestling/LowKi had a saying:
33--> ''"[[TheNapoleon It is not the size of the fighter, but the size of the fight he will bring!]]"''
34* Wrestling/DiamondDallasPage wants you to know that in your next match, YOU WILL FEEL! THE! BANG!
35* Wrestling/CMPunk has [[BorrowedCatchphrase "IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!!"]] (before [[WhamLine the pipe bomb]]) and "BEST IN THE WORLD!!" (after the pipe bomb)
36** And in the indies, "UsefulNotes/StraightEdge means I'm better than you!"
37%%
38%% Sort the following examples alphabetically and with context!
39%%
40* Wrestling/KurtAngle won an Olympic gold medal with a broken freakin' neck. OH IT'S TRUE...'''''IT'S! DAMN! TRUE!''''''
41** It's real, it's damn real!
42* [[Wrestling/ScottSteiner Big Poppa Pump]] is your hook-up. HOLLA IF YOU HEAR ME!
43* Monty Brown had "Feel the power... of [[FinishingMove The Pounce]]!"
44* The Mountie "The Mountie always gets his man!"
45* "Ravishing" Rick Rude: "What I'd like now, is for all you fat, out-of-shape, ''[alliteration based on city]]'' to be quiet, while I remove my robe, and show these ladies what a REAL man looks like!"
46* [[Wrestling/RobVanDam "Mr. Monday Night" Rob Van Dam]] will take time in the middle of the match to remind you he's "the whole fuckin'/damn show!"
47** And nobody, and I mean nobody, gets higher than Rob! Van! Dam!
48* "Ladies and gentlemen, Wrestling/ShawnMichaels has left the building". (a parody of the well known "Elvis has left the building")
49* And even the announcers get in on it, which can be traced back to Wrestling/GordonSolie's frequent comment that a wrestler was "wearing the crimson mask".
50** Wrestling/GorillaMonsoon frequently dealt with some of the more outlandish claims of Wrestling/JesseVentura and [[Wrestling/BobbyHeenan Bobby "The Brain" Heenan]] with "Will you stop?"
51** Wrestling/JimRoss's oft-parodied "[someone's] stompin' a mudhole", "[someone's getting beat] like a government mule", matches (or wrestlers) are "bowling-shoe ugly", and a really good, really vicious beating is a "slobber knocker".
52*** In his UWF days, Ross also shouted, "High elevation!" and "Pinning predicament" with amusing regularity.
53*** BAH GAWD!
54** Wrestling/JoeyStyles, meanwhile, has "OH MY GOD!" (or the lucha-related version, "AY DIOS MIO!"), a wrestler "getting introduced" to various hard-hitting objects, and referring to flying wrestlers as "Air _____".
55*** CAT FIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
56** Wrestling/JerryLawler [[{{Flanderization}} is happy to shout "Puppies!" at the slightest provocation.]]
57*** His Wrestling/{{TNA}} counterpart, Wrestling/{{Tazz}}, has "Let the pigeons loose!" whenever a Knockout (especially Wrestling/TheBeautifulPeople) enters the ring.
58*** Speaking of Taz(z), back in his Wrestling/{{WWE}} days, it was "Well, here comes the pain!" Whenever Wrestling/BrockLesnar's entrance theme played.
59*** And because of that, whenever D'Angelo Dinero enters the arena, Tazz gets to say "Welp, here comes the Pope!"
60** Wrestling/{{WCW}}'s Tony Schiavone frequently felt that the particular PPV/Nitro/Thunder/Worldwide/whatever was "[[ItsTheBestTropeEver the greatest night in the history of our sport]]". This has occurred more than once a week, leading some to believe that Schiavone has severe memory problems.
61** This is not [[Wrestling/BobbyHeenan Fair to Flair.]]
62* When you're [[Wrestling/NewWorldOrder nWo]], you're nWo 4 Life!
63** And you're "Just... 2... Sweeeeeet!"
64* Wrestling/HulkHogan's "What'cha gonna do when the Hulkster/Hulkamania runs wild on you?"
65* Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin's "Gimme a hell yeah!"
66** "And that's the bottom line, cuz Stone Cold said so!"
67* Wrestling/TheUndertaker's "Rest In Peace!"
68* Wrestling/JohnCena:
69** "You can't see me!" (today used more often in his EntranceMusic).
70** "If you want some, come get some!"
71* One of the earliest examples, from a {{heel}}, is [[Wrestling/SuperstarBillyGraham "Superstar" Billy Graham's]]: "I'm the man of the hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour!"
72* Wrestling/RicFlair has built up quite a selection throughout his career, from a simple "Wooo!", to "Diamonds are forever... and so is Ric Flair" to "limousine-ridin', jet-flyin', kiss-stealin', wheelin'-dealin' son of a gun" - and of course "To be The Man, you gotta beat The Man!"
73* One of the most repeated was [[Wrestling/RandySavage Randy "Macho Man" Savage's]] surprisingly versatile "OOOOOOOHHHH YEAH!"
74* Wrestling/{{Raven}} is well known for ending every interview with "Quote the Raven, nevermore"
75** And that's not even his only catchphrase. Other favorites include "so it is written, so it shall come to pass" and "the world is full of kings and queens, who'll blind your eyes and steal your dreams," and, of course, "WHAT ABOUT ME? WHAT ABOUT RAVEN?"
76* More recently, Wrestling/RonSimmons returned from Character Limbo to become a fan favorite, complete with merchandise, simply by uttering his old CatchPhrase, 'Damn!', at comically appropriate moments.
77* Hi, I'm Wrestling/DolphZiggler.
78** It should have been me!
79* [[Wrestling/TripleH It's time to play the game!]]
80** [[Wrestling/TripleH I... AM.. THE GAME! AND I AM... THAT... DAMN... GOOD!!]]

82* My name is Wrestling/AlbertoDelRio, but you already know that.

88* [[Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys WASSUP!?]]
89** D-VON! GET THE TABLES!
90* [[Wrestling/RonKillings That's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but THE TRUTH.]]
91* [[Wrestling/TheMiz Because I'M THE MIZ!! And I'm...! <loooong pause> AAAAAAWEESOOOME!]] - Despite this catchphrase now having fallen out of use for over half a decade - pretty much ever since he adopted the beginnings of his "Hollywood A-Lister" gimmick - the last word ''still'' features as the intro to his entrance music.
92** Really..? ''Really?'' Really.
93** When my hand goes up, your mouths go shut!!
94* [[Wrestling/MattCardona Woo woo woo, you know it!]]
95** Clap it up, bro!
96* Wrestling/{{Ryback}} "FEED ME MORE!" "FINISH HIM!"
97* [[Wrestling/PaulBearer OHHHHHHHHH YEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!]]
98* How can we forget about the universal "After our fight at [insert PPV here] you no longer be [insert name of the championship here]champion anymore]"
99* "[[Wrestling/{{Konnan}} Yo yo yo let me speak on dis! Orale! Arriba la Raza! We are los vatos locos forever, man! We bout it bout it and rowdy rowdy!]]"

101* Wrestling/ChristopherDaniels is giving you permission to worship him..., ...., NOW!
102* This victory just proves what Wrestling/ChrisHero always says. "Kings reign supreme."
103* "[[Wrestling/CarlitoColon That's not cool.]]"
104* Particularly wordy promo from Caprice Coleman? Cedric Alexander's only got one way to follow that. "Amen"
105* Wrestling/{{Elias}} (née Samson) never plays anything before asking "WHO WANTS TO WALK WITH ELIAS?!"
106** "WWE stands for...Walk! With! Elias!"
107* [[Wrestling/BobbyRoode …Glorious!]]
108* Don't mess with Wrestling/BraunStrowman...unless you want to "get these hands".
109** Even if you regret it, "I'm not finished with you".
110* [[Wrestling/ElixSkipper "Prime Time" Elix Skipper's]] was simple and to the point: "Prime Time, Baby!"
111* "Ladies and gentlemen...my name is Wrestling/PaulHeyman!"
112* To [[Wrestling/{{WALTER}} WALTER/Gunther]] (and by extension, Imperium), "the mat is sacred".
113* Wrestling/LAKnight hates your guts because you're an asshole. "And that's not an insult, THAT, is just a fact of life!" [[VerbalTic "YEAH!"]]
114** "LEMME TALK TO YA!"
115** Wrestling/LAKnight wants to remind you dummies: "Whose game is it? It's LA Knight's game!"

120* [[Wrestling/JohnBradshawLayfield I]] am what I say that I am: "I AM A WRESTLING GOD!"
121* This catchphrase is the only one thing that matters most! And THAT, my friends, is [[Wrestling/TheUndisputedEra undisputed]].
122* Say hello to the three most dangerous letters in all of sports entertainment: "[[Wrestling/RandyOrton R-K-O]]".
123** ...or is it "R-K-[[Wrestling/MattRiddle BRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]]"?
124* Hello, ladies. You know something? Wrestling/ValVenis has two consecutive catchphrases when starting a promo.
125* If [[Wrestling/LanceStorm I]] could be serious for a moment...
126* Cameron Grimes takes not only his talents, but also his growth as a wrestler...'''TO! THE! MOON!'''
127* [[Wrestling/KarrionKross Tick-tock]]. The clock is ticking...
128* THIS IS [[Wrestling/{{PAIGE}} MY]] HOUSE!
129* Every time Wrestling/VinceMcMahon wants to dismiss a wrestler, he's got two words for them: "YOU'RE FIRED!"
130* You're either a [[Wrestling/BulletClub Good Brother]] or you're a--uh...what was that word again?[[labelnote:Give it to 'em]]"Nerd!"[[/labelnote]]
131* Wrestling/RomanReigns would like to remind you that whatever ring he steps in, "This is my yard". And your best response? "Acknowledge me."
