Even though it's not a catchphrase, and even though I like HHH....
For the last few months he's been trying to get people in the crowd to bow down to him when he's on the Turnbuckles during his entrance.
He's trying too hard to get that to be the norm.
I noticed this during a RAW right after he came back, he came out right before the commercial, and he was just wasting time for 3 minutes. He spent the whole time more or less trying to get the crowd to bow down when the live feed restarted.
It failed.
He's got a small group of people doing it, but it just feels so forced.

When Lance Storm cut a promo before his match he always started the promo with "If I can be serious for a minute"

When Lance Storm cut a promo before his match he always started the promo with "If I can be serious for a minute" I actually liked that one, although I don't suppose a few people liking something makes it "over."

- DDP's "Hollywood SCUM Hogan" - DDP's "Good thing/Bad thing" crap. I was a HUGE mark for "That's not a BAD THING, that's - a GOOD THING!" I had just gotten back into WWF at the time and for some reason I immediately latched onto DDP; just something about his big goofy grin and his ridiculous catchphrases. As far as Shelton goes I think his new catchphrase is actually "The Gold Standard" and I kinda like it - nice double entendre on his golden hairdo. Nah "The Gold Standard" is his attempted nickname to justify his hair. "Ain't no Stoppin' Me Now(wwwwwwwwwwwwww)" is his catchphrase via the virtue of it ending his promos.

"Don't hate the playa, hate the game!" That's my No. 2 choice. My No. 1 is ... "THAT"S NOT JUST THE COOLEST ... THAT'S NOT JUST THE BEST ... THAT'S JUSTIN CREDIBLE."Just weak all the way around. I still don't understand how that guy eventually came to be accepted in ECW. That one was really horrible.

Not a catchphrase, but I always hated Edge's "You Think You Know Me" song. It's just so wierd. I always created kind of an awkward vibe. Was that a man or a woman singing? It was like they wanted to make Edge seem like an androgynous, angsty teenager.
"You think you know me. You think you know me. You think you know me. You're just a puppet."
If I were in the WWE and they gave me that music, I'd refuse. No thanks, I'll come out to silence before I come out to that crap.

Or by virtue of it being his entire promo, sometimes. (Shelton wins a match against a jobber. His theme music starts.) Music: Ain't no stoppin' me nowwwwwwww!!! (Music continues with other lyrics nobody remembers. Shelton grabs a mic. Music fades out.) Shelton: Ain't no stoppin' me nowwwwwww!!! (Music starts up again.) Music: Ain't no stoppin' me nowwwwwwww!!!

"I didn't do it!"
"That's not just the coolest, that's not just the best! (interruption) "That's from CALGARY, ALBERTA CANADA!" "That's Justin Credible!"
"Shawn Michaels has left the building!" "WHO CARES!?"
"Lives are gonna be in Waylon Mercy's hands!" (or, just for RD) "Life's a bowl of beans in Waylon Mercy's hands!"
One more I liked, not a catchphrase, but in 1996 IYH Beware of Dog......hehehe "Where were YOU during the blackout?" (savio music plays, then cuts out)

I'd just like to add that I'm strongly against having wrestlers saying their catchphrases ( or anything for that matter) at the beginning of their theme songs. I hate it. What's worse is having them say their own name at the start of their music. Gregory Helms anyone?Whats up with dat www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xzky0OAghHQ2:12

I'm remembering a very painful attempt at creating a catchphrase for DDP in the last years of WCW.
Something about him saying "(Insert wrestler's name here) likes to spank it, whack it, and JACK it!"

Reminds WCW 2000's constant use of: "You boys are gonna be S.O.L! BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" I think it started off as a Kevin Nash phrase, then the Natural Born Thrillers, then the Insiders, then... everybody! Rock's "How's Your Lips?" was so stupid! It was created for that single night, put on a T-shirt & Rock didn't show up again for ages, but when he did, he certainly wasn't asking how people's lips were!
