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.

Talk about your Psalms, talk about John 3:16, Austin 3:16 says "I just whipped your ass."

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?
