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.
I heard that Road Dogg used to say "... if you smell what I'm cookin?'" when in Memphis CW with The Rock (Flex Kavana). And this added to Road Dogg's real life jealousy and heat with The Rock later in WWF.
how can anyone not love the "what" chant?? must've never been to a live show. highlight of my year so far as starting a "what" chant at Jinder during the Portland show.
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 want Austin to come back as part of the Cody feud, have Rock cut a brutal promo on Austin and Austin just looks at him and goes "What!?" the roof would blow off the place
August 13th, 2001 Monday Night Raw is when Austin debuted the What chant. Simon needs to do a retro review of this episode because it is great. I'm watching it now because of this video. Great work guys!
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."
My Pa always talks about the Evanglist Billy Graham and I used to think "Oh yeah the Superstar Billy Graham I think I've heard of him" before realising I was thinking of the wrestler. Funny that
My sister and I both debated on what Chef Rock was cooking. And we always come back to the same answer... A big 'ol pot 'o beans!!! And I love the WHAT chant!!!
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.
Imagine if the Road Warriors took the line "Welcome to Prime Time,Bitch!" from the same movie instead... actually..., how has no one dropped that in a promo yet?!
THAT is how he came up with the dumb nonsense phrase, “Slap Nuts”? Nobody was ever saying it before, and just like “fetch” it never became a thing (despite Jarrett’s desperate efforts).

Say what you want about Kevin Dunn but if he's the one who came up with the camera shaking slightly whenever Ron Simmons says "DAMN!" in those backstage segments, well, he's had at least one brilliant idea.
Everyone liked it when it was part of Austin’s shtick. Nowadays, BOY HOWDY it’s overstayed its welcome by about 2 decades. Anyone in the crowd who “what” chants now is just annoying
@@StraightEdgeKnight19no he's not you are And simple math says two of us one of you and multiple other comments telling the what chant to f.uck off into the sun making YOU the minority.
@@PJErvin Here’s my point in a more blunt fashion : people who what chant now are fucking morons (as evidenced by the OPs inability to get your/you’re right), and their opinion is null and void.
wwe needs to hire more security. their job would be to point out anyone who tries to start a "WHAT" chant. tap that person and the shoulder. whisper in their ear, "get the fuck out."

Thank you, that's really interesting wrestling trivia!
Such a great film really surprised it wasn’t on this list
I heard Sharmel talk about things like this on Books WWE24
The Warriors is such a good movie
Classic
I wish there was a way to hear the actual voice-mail Austin left for Christian😂😂😂
Everytime I hear Slap Nuts... Why do I hear Pokemon battle music? Thanks MarkyD!
A wild slap nuts appears
Used ref bump... opponent fell asleep
@ASirensFlameGet booed out of building.
My favorite JR line is calling XPac "Quicker than a hiccup." I still use that.
For me it's "don't worry about the mule, load the wagon."
I like The Rock new catchphrase, “Now go home and smoke some more crack!”
We are a decade away from The Rock being regarded as highly as Hulk Hogan. Just gotta wait for enough "creative control" bs to happen.
I now want to hear that message to cage.
A wild slapnuts appeared!
Shuv it man
Guitar shot. Ref bump. Kick to the nutsacks. Stroke.
So Glad You Got The ""What"" Story Correct
Other Channels are so Lamia in their research
I see what you did there😂
Eggs. The Rock is cooking eggs. How else do you get so big?
No. It's roasted salmon with a mango paste sauce.
Drinking lots of juice for breakfast lunch and dinner

Should’ve had Cactus Jack’s “bang bang” on this list.

Stone Cold talked about the What origins on an old DVD. I was surprised that he was friends with Christian
I mean the entire show "Young Rock" is basically a 3 seasons long origin story of his various catchphrases
Thanks to Markyd any reference of jeff jarret without A wild slap nuts appears feel wrong haha
Horror and wrestling do make good bedfellows.
I want Austin to come back as part of the Cody feud, have Rock cut a brutal promo on Austin and Austin just looks at him and goes "What!?" the roof would blow off the place

Ron Simmons' story is the best

I like the What? Chant lol it's great.

every time I hear the words "baybay" I always think of WrestlingBios and Chris Jericho. J James BayBay Dillon.
The What?, originated from Austin on the phone with Christian a Bar & Christian suggested he do it for f7n one night during a promo and it caught on.
WHAT?!

Jonathon Taylor here. What ? By stone cold Steve Austin
Ric Flair has the greatest phrases ever!
@4:00 Dream Warriors has so many great one liners.

Not me saying "heard" in response to "corner" lmao 😂

Christian Cage you are the bane of our lives 😂
I was really hoping this video would have an Ed Ogeron shoutout.
Booker T said rocky stole if you smell what I'm cookin from him
I love the fact that biggest name i the business SCSA called Christian. Lol
Come on man!….we all know what the Rock is cooking! It’s some pootang pie! 🥧😂
DAMN!! lol that guy was the best.
Solid ending there
If WWE were smart, they would book Steve Austin vs. Dominic Mysterio and pass on the legend of WHAT onto him
Obviously, the Rock is cooking 1 of 2 things. Either strudel or a certain kind of pie.
WHAT WHAT WHAT
Casserole?
Pancakes, Adam. Pancakes.
good video
A wild slap nuts appears
“You know what my watch is saying?”
I thought Adam Cole's catchphrase was, "I'm injured again."
The Rock is cooking apple pie.
I think that I'm the only one that enjoys the what chants 😂
Huge fan of Heather Slater and he is totally incapable of ending a sentence with anything other than bay-bay 😂
Thanks 🎉
Imagine if the Road Warriors took the line "Welcome to Prime Time,Bitch!" from the same movie instead... actually..., how has no one dropped that in a promo yet?!
Sounds like something that'd fit LA Knight lol
The best was when Umaga would get his toe stepped on and since he didnt wear boots he would yell "YEEEEOOOWW" ill never forget that rip.
I HATED WHAT! And is a good portion of the reason why I quit watching altogether during the Ruthless Aggression era.
THAT is how he came up with the dumb nonsense phrase, “Slap Nuts”?
Nobody was ever saying it before, and just like “fetch” it never became a thing (despite Jarrett’s desperate efforts).
I thought LA Knight said his catchphrase was a play on the Dr Dre song let me ride
Gumbo. The Rock is cooking gumbo.
J and J Security Joey Mercury
Rock cooks bad movies and bad charity videos.
I wonder who was the first, and last, to say "let me tell you something..." In pro wrestling? 🤔🤣 I don't hear it anymore
I'm sorry Mrs Jackson.
Who else likes quoting wrestling catchphrases to their family and friends?
It doesn’t matter who your family and friends are 🤨
I would, but my father is dead.
I think if Austin addresses mania crowd denouncing the what chant it may help stay the decline of them. Cuz they need to stop
He's cooking a human hand on a grill outside
0:25 I'm SICK AND TIRED of seeing doctored photos of championship belts. THAT belt never had the WWe logo and to my knowledge Mick never held a belt that had the WWe logo on it.
The origin of "JOIN US"
Thank For the Video and Happy Easter Day 🥚🎨🐇🖼️💐🌟🥇🏆

What?!
You don't like Stone Cold's catchphrase?
WHAT?!
No wonder Vince hated Christian
UP THE WTF!!!
What chant ruined Austin on the mic
What?
Love la knight creating such famous catchphrases such a genius not....he steals them bc he's bad
Say what you want about Kevin Dunn but if he's the one who came up with the camera shaking slightly whenever Ron Simmons says "DAMN!" in those backstage segments, well, he's had at least one brilliant idea.
To hell with that giant toothed tool
Just can't take "Acknowledge me." seriously... all I imagine is a random anime girl pleading for her senpai to pay attention to her. 🙄
What really isn’t that bad

WHO'S FIRST?!
How is “Slap Nuts” a vulgar phrase?
I don’t even know what it means. 🤷🏿♂️
nuts. as in balls. as in testicles.
It’s a reference to masturbation
JR only hates wrestling now because the poor bastard is stuck watching AEW
Tbh, whenever I think about the word "baybay", I think of Heath Slater, first 🤷🏾♂️
Uhh people actually do like the What? chant (mostly). What are u on sir?
