DeanoTheGame Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Tazz really has had some stinkers. The worst one being 'they're beating him like he owes em money!' He used to say that during FBI's brief run on Smackdown. Everytime they did a beatdown he'd fucking use it. Then Cole would chip in with 'It's the numbers game!' Every fucking week, you could be sure those 2 lines would be used. Â Not a catchphrase either, but it's funny the things you pick up on listening to commentary. Back when Legacy used to get involved in every Orton match, Cole would shout 'Rhodes! DiBiase! Legacy!' in the exact same tone of voice every week. Booker T is probably the worst for having a list of phrases he has to crowbar into every episode of Smackdown, but it did lead to that excellent moment where Josh and Cole ripped him. 'WITH THA GREYTEST OF EEEZ!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-Dudz Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Lest we forget, Y2J was the man who got "Filthy, dirty, disugusting, skanky brutal, bottom-feeding, trash-bag 'ho!" over. But he has some way to knock off the undisputed King of the Catchphrase, The Rock. Â I think most people have had a cringeworthy period of catchphrases, usually when they're forced. The best ones are ones that are stumbled upon. Â As for worst? King's incessant yelling of "PUPPIES!" has absolutely got to be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted March 12, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 When Jericho used to shout "shut...the hell..up!" it would get huge reactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CW Saton Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I absolutely hated The Rock's short lived catchphrase "How's your lips?..'cause they're gonna get slapped off your face!" Â Why would a man threateningly inquire about another man's lips? Â Reminds me of "You sure got a pretty mouth, boy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vito Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Remember when Perry Saturn became retarded and ended most of his sentences with "You're welcome"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I quite liked retarded Perry Saturn and his mop,was a lot less boring then normal Perry Saturn was. Â Poor old Kanyon's ''Who betta than Kanyon?'' was quite shit too now that I remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted March 12, 2012 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 "Who Better Than Kanyon" was over. It was a cracking little catchphrase, I thought. When he got to the WWF, he had a custom shirt with it on and played if for some laughs. Â Actually, remember when Kanyon held the US title and the WWF tag team title at the same time and was regularly onscreen with Steve Austin everyweek? Someone seemed to love Kanyon. The only thing about DDP's burial that was redeeming was that after years of the roles reversed, DDP was now Kanyon's lacky. Â Kanyon also took the best Stone Cold stunner of all time. You just see it in the big "old Stone Cold returns" angle on Raw, but his bump was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reznor Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Poor old Kanyon's ''Who betta than Kanyon?'' was quite shit too now that I remember it. Really? Imo that was a really good one, and an ideal way to get a crowd into things, with the inevitable 'everybody' reply, followed by the tantrum. I'd say it did catch on. Â It was a good way of getting a relative nobody in WWF-land over, and he had that goofy kind of charisma to make it quite funny. Likewise in WCW when he had the little spiel before it when he went on about 'keeping it real in the one-triple 9" etc. Â Kanyon was a pretty fun character.

BiffingtonClyro Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 You could always rely on Kanyon hitting out with a mental looking move. I remember going Mortis in Revenge on the N64 and using the Electric Chair Drop finisher for a few hours. Halcyon days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that side of him was great too, and helped define him as somewhat unique, back in the days before all the indie monkeys started ripping the arse out things  Edge clearly liked that too.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 13, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 Is the general consensus that Kanyon was pretty good? I have to say that I can't remember seeing many of his matches, he came along when I stopped watching wrestling for a few years. Â What are generally regarded as his best matches?

I have to say that I can't remember seeing many of his matches, he came along when I stopped watching wrestling for a few years. What are generally regarded as his best matches? I can't recall any good singles matches he had. He really came to my attention when he was in "The Jersey Triad" with DDP and Bigelow. My favourite match with him in is from GAB 1999, Page & Kanyon vs. Benoit & Saturn for the tag belts. I think that's the one anyway.  Kanyon had a reputation for coming up with cool moves at the time. They even gave him a nickname, the innovator of offense or something.  He wasn't brilliant but he was one of those guys who'd always been really low on WCW cards and he was much better than that. Solid mid-carder, always going to have a decent, if spotty, match with anyone and when he hit the WWF, he had a good little gimmick that separated him from the rest of the WCW crew. Typical of the WWF, they focused on his lisp and he never did a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
