This is after listening to the Rock's theme song.
I'll admit "if you smell what the rock is cooking" is a decent catch phrase say in the middle of a promo, but how he got it to be one of those things that he can yell and get people scream along with him, as well as make it the beginning of his theme song is beyond me (not to mention the hollywood rock version where it's like 10 seconds long before he goes "is cooking" really softly).
I mean I can understand like "Ausitin 3:16 says... (Crowd) I just whooped your ASS", or "Beat me if you can, survive (Crowd) IF I LET YOU".
But "If you SMEEEEEEELLLLLLLLL.... what Rock.... is coooking" is just not very intimidating, and is pretty damn long. Imagine what would happen if "I spit in the face of people, who don't want to be cool" catches fire.

I believe The Rock's original catchphrase was "Do your nasal valve and septum inhale what The Rock is baking at 375 degrees for 20 minutes," but it was scrapped.

I hate the what chant almost as much as I can't stand Carlito and Benoit.

That "You suck" chant during Kurt Angle's music has to get up there.

"You Suck" is a testament to what Edge used to be.
The "what" chant annoys the piss out of me. A wrestler can be giving an amazing promo (Hassan) but the crowd just goes "WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?" over it. That and the "boring" chant are the two worst chants to ever start.

Weirdest thing to get over was the Dudleyz powerbombing women through tables.
I mean, wtf?

Definitely the Undertaker. I mean, he was a zombie that had a manager by the name of Paul Bearer with an urn that hailed from DEATH VALLEY. 'Taker was one of the more pun riddled wrestlers ever, and he got massively over to the point he is iconic now. Strange how things work out that way.
And for the record, I always liked the What? chants. *Ducks for cover*

I think the 'boring' chants are great, and should be used more often. Sends a message(well, it should)to creative that the turds they're throwin' at the wall ain't stickin'. Or that the wrestlers aren't pulling it off, depending on the situation.

Or that the marks in the audience have the attention span of a retarded moose.

This coming from a guy with Archanaman in his avatar . In that situation, I agree, because the Lita/Edge marriage was a thing I don't think many people wanted to see, but to chant "BORING!" during a wrestler's match is disrespectful... unless he truly blows.

Oh, and IMHO the strangest thing to actually get over is Kamala. He's a fat guy from the jungles of Uganda. You'd think living like a caveman in the jungle would be a pretty healthy lifestyle. Y'know, running after food. Running from larger predators. That's alot of cardio. Plus I don't imagine they have beer there, so how does one develop a spherical gut like that?

I like the boring chant when it's done during the diva search or HHH promo.
But alot of the time crowds chant it during a good technical match, that goes over their head.
As they just want tables and chairs.
