I’m pretty sure he had every bit of that respect being one of the few that defined SmackDown. Truly gave it an identity in a different era. He had full control of the crowd in his palms. Dude could go from heel to face 5 times in the week and he would make it believable. Even in the heel times, you still loved the dude because he was wrestling.

@@ellechero2008 it’s also pointless to say. That would literally be anyone if they were to just drop. That’s just naturally what’s gonna happen but he was already at the top in 05. Won the champion and just leave it up to the audience. Because y’all fully contradict film and how loved he was when he was here. Any “star” is gonna be worth more after they pass and that’s the logic. That’s where I’m trying to comprehend the boozes point because there is none.

You can tell Roman and The Rock are related. The catchphrase engages fans and is a nod to whatever city they are in. They are an amazing presence whether face or heel.

They aren’t actually related. Roman and the Rocks grandfathers were “blood brothers” due to being very close. The rocks grandfather was accepted into the anoa’i tribe due to loyalty. Just to make it simple they refer to themselves as cousins. Also fun fact the Usos and Reigns aren’t cousins. Roman is actually their uncle.

@Alvin Narciso I am Hawaiian I actually understand blood brothers I thought the rocks father was either blood related or married in.

Roman Reigns came along way from saying:"Believe that!"(similar catchphrase to Naruto's:"Believe it!" In the English version), to saying:"Acknowledge me!" We have to acknowledge Roman Reigns as the face of WWE.

One line that should be on this list is Rick Rude: "What I'd like right now, is to have all of the fat, out of shape (insert city and noun)....." I was there live to see Rude do that bit at Superbrawl II, and it took several tries for him to get the phrase out because he was getting so much heat.

“Yeaahhhhh…let me talk to ya,” is gonna end up on here eventually.
Rip to scott hall 😢
still miss Eddie till this day, he would add so much to the current Rey vs Dominik feud
DX was acknowledging the ladies waaaay before Val Venus and he stole many of the things they said in their promos and reused in his. Merch also. HHH literally said in 98 "I'm locked, cocked, and ready to unload." Two years later, that's on a Val Venus t shirt from late 99/early 00.
Enzo and Cass were elite.
New Age Outlaws absolutely leaving everyone for dead in this category. Iconic
The Little Rock shoutout was unexpected but appreciated. I love it when my small town gets mentioned lol
Bray Wyatt "We're Here" has to be on here. It was such an awesome run. Also 2 more honorable mentions have to go to Vikki Guerrero Excuse Me & Big E "Feel the Power"
“the champ is here! 🐓”

I agree, finally should be top 5 or something. that would always send chills. it always did with me if he was in one of the top cities where the crowd would be amped up, dallas, houston, chicago, New York, (his brooklyn surprise return proves that,) DC, Philadelphia, or if he’s close to his CA homes, mainly my neck of the woods (LA, San Diego,) but if he went north, that was everything! especially around san francisco or the east bay. then don’t get me started when he’s in Miami. especially if they did an event near where the Hurricanes would play at. every now and again he’d bring up the name of the canes.
I honestly didn't remember Eddie for the catchphrase Orale. I associated it more with the start of Konnan's promos.

'Let me talk to ya' and 'YEAH' are getting popular nowadays
“Smackdown Live is the house that AJ Styles built!”
I like how Roman Reigns is so pathetic, he has to beg the crowd to pay attention to him.
The best one for the rock was the one where he said “FINALLY, THE ROCK HAS COME BACK…HOME.”
just imagining what could’ve been if eddie was still with us. I mean, that first event in Puerto Rico. the pop would’ve been a whole new level after he said that.
That first clip of cena, he spit on his lip 😂

"are there any ladies in New York City" lol
"Let me talk to ya" will rank in all time Top 10 by the time LA Knight hangs up his boot. Legendary ❤️
All I have to say is, "LET ME TALK TO YA!"
Paul talks so much in the exact same tone that you could edit every word from different promos and still make people believe it was one consecutive line
2:37 “Tell me he did not just say that”
