First off, we're not including catchphrases. But if we could be impartial for a moment (as in, not focus on personal favorites), what's the most famous or well-known quote in the history of professional wrestling? It could've come from an announcer/commentator, or it could've been from a wrestler during a promo.
A few candidates:
Gorilla Monsoon during Wrestlemania III: "The irresistible force meets the immovable object."
JR during Hell In A Cell: Good God, good God ... Will somebody stop the damn match? Enough's enough."
Bobby Heenan during the Rocker's breakup: "Jannety tried to dive through the window!"
Michael Cole during Foley's championship win: "Mankind has achieved his dream and the dream of everyone else who's been told: you can't do it!"
Darkhorse candidates:
Bret Hart's meltdown: "Frustrated isn't the goddamn word for it! This is bullshit!."
JR during Xpac's return: "Well look who's back."

Around these parts specifically:
"It's...Christian."
"Look at the adjective."
"Can we even afford to pay me to wrestle Ron...I DON'T KNOW!!!?"
"He's FAT!"
"1, 2, he got 'em!!-- no, he didn't."
But for real and in general:
"YES! YES! YES! He did it! I told you, Monsoon!"
Akin to the final call of the 1980 Olympics U.S. Hockey semi-final win over U.S.S.R.?

The Jim Ross calls from the HIAC match at KOTR 98 entered the pop culture lexicon in ways that very few other pro wrestling calls have.

2 Spring to mind :
"My names Billy and I just won King of the Ring, there's only one problem, everybody still thinks that I absolutely SUCK!"
And of course "Who are you to doubt El Dandy"

I heard people being called "pencil-necked geek" years before I found out that it was wrestling-related.

I mean, people can downplay the match all they like, and the "forcedness" of the moment, but we pretty much HAVE to mention "The boyhood dream, has come true!", don't we?
