    Honorable mention: Booker T "Can You Dig It, Sucka?". That catchphrase is a reference to the 1979 film "The Warriors" where a character named Cyrus uttered the line "Can you dig it?". That is where Booker got the inspiration from.

  • @chrisbreezy3048
    @chrisbreezy3048 Před 2 měsíci +2

    A quick side note regarding 'If you smell what The Rock is cookin'': it was first uttered by The Great One during his sit-down interview with Gennifer Flowers at WrestleMania XIV. As for the tongue waggle, I was under the impression that he did it during the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression Eras as a way to be edgy and impersonate cunnilingus. However, once WWE went PG, he stopped doing it altogether.

    I first remember Simmons' catchphrase from right after the time the APA was "fired", then JBL was brought back and didn't lift a finger to get Simmons brought back as well (he instead kicked off the Rich Guy with Cowboy Hat shtick). Simmons, after JBL walked off: "Well, I'll be damned."

    I always hated "Know your role and shut your mouth" as THAT IS NOT HOW IT GOES!!!!! Every time Rock said it I wanted to reach through the television and strangle him. Before Dwayne no-Johnson came along the saying goes "know your role and shut your hole!" The point with the insult is that it rhymes which makes it slide off the tongue better.
