See topic. Did it originate with Triple H or Jim Ross?

I'm more in favour of THIS INDUSTRY. Makes it sound more blue collar.

It's not a meme.
It's a way of life.

I've never liked it. They should call it "this sport", even though it technically isn't.
It just sounds better
"Business" makes it sound like a meat packing company or something.

Pretty sure it's a reference to Triple H's constant use of the term in the early 2000's.
"Diamond of THIS BUSINESS." "See Shawn, in THIS BUSINESS."
etc.

I thought it started with Trips on Tough Enough telling the rookies how he respects DIS BIDNESS, and then all of his 30-minute promos since

I always thought it stemmed from HHH's promos in late 2011 (during the walkout and Kevin Nash fiasco).

Thanks for the responses. I always thought it stemmed from Ross being a condescending blowhard when talking about Arquette winning the WCW championship and getting on his soapbox about "THIS BUSINESS" while brushing off DDP's corrections.

Wonder how JR justified Vince McMahon being a former WWF and ECW champion. Just as bad as Arquette IMO.

And Triple H trashing Goldberg is funny, if only for the fact that Goldberg at his peak was vastly more over than Triple H ever was, even with the WWE hype machine operating at full force.

The Legends Roundtable series made me realise that JR either will defend the WWE until his dying breath no matter how ridiculous the claim or he just hates WCW that much to straight up lie.

The bit from "I'm not bragging" needs to be autotuned.

In the case of him winning the ECW title he pretty much only won it due to Umaga doing every bit of the work, and honestly given his history him winning the WWF title seems very appropriate to me. Though I probably would have bumped up Stephanie's heel turn and had Triple H beat him for the title instead of having him just vacate it.

can't say wrestling unless you're shooting, don't want to say sports entertainment, so "this business" is what's left

Meh I never minded Vince being the WWE Champion for a week considering he's jacked and went toe to toe with other mainevent champions. He's somewhat Lex Luthor of the WWE. David Arquette is a lanky B list actor. If it was a celeb it should be a professional football player or Jackie Chan or Arnie.
