Hollywood SCUM Hogan always makes me laugh man. That wasn't really "aborted," that went on for awhile and DDP regularly got the crowd so sing along with it. But it always drove me crazy how he set it up for the crowd to yell "HOGAN!" when they should have been the ones yelling "SCUM!"

Okay so I've got another one watching the July 8th 2002 episode that I'm in absolute awe about. It's more of an aborted nickname but dammit it's my thread lol.
This dude Shawn Michaels (specifically nWo Shawn) just called himself Big Daddy Caz. Big Daddy Caz.

Booker T's "don't hate the playa" is a good mention. It was so forced and he'd just throw it in at the end of the promo like "Oh yeah, before I stop talking, I gotta get my catchphrase in!"
I always thought James Storm "Sorry bout your damn luck!" was cringe, but I don't know if it was aborted.

I swear there was a guy who had something like, 'if you don't know me, blow me!' or something similar, but it might be a fever dream.

Anything they gave Benoit, he just was not someone a catchphrase worked with, always sounded forced and lame. I liked his "prove me wrong" catchphrase during his debuting months with the WWF, it fit his character as the best damn technical wrestler. I remember on an episode of Smackdown in late 2001/early 2002 Booker T countered Austin's "what" with "who," but I don't think it was meant to be a regular thing. Also, in WCW didn't someone in the commentary team try to get Chris Benoit over with the moniker "silent, but violent?" Not very threatening to be equated with a phrase that can be used to describe a fart. If your farts are violent you may want to consult a physician.

Didn't he also do "Don't hate the playa, hate the game" for a short bit before WCW closed (and I think he did a call-back to it in the Mania 19 build-up)? Yep, though that one I guess was used enough to even be part of the intro for his entrance theme in WCW for a bit, I think. It's been a bit, though. Yeah, in 2000/2001 WCW Booker’s entrance started with “Don’t hate the playah, hate the game” which WWE replaced with “Can you dig it suckaaaaaaaaa?”

“My name is Stone Cold Steve Austin I am the WWF Champion and I don’t deserve this!”
Seemed to do this a lot before The Invasion and then dropped it. Then started doing ‘What?’ after Summerslam which might have caught on…

I always thought James Storm "Sorry bout your damn luck!" was cringe, but I don't know if it was aborted. Not in the slightest. It was part of the entrance theme for Beer Money Inc., he said it when the team was heel, he said it when the team was face, he said it when the team ended. It was his catchphrase for years.

Then started doing ‘What?’ after Summerslam which might have caught on… And it's too bad it was aborted, as he was hilarious, that line included. I'd rather fans complain how they don't deserve this than STILL chanting the W-word. Oh wait, we already DO complain about that!

Stone Cold trying to get "Creepy Little Bastard" over for Christian....didn't last long until it was (fortunately) aborted.
Same with (I believe) Jim Ross trying to get "Big Red Retard" over for Kane....thankfully that one died a quick death.

Creepy Little Bastard and CLB absolutely caught on, that followed him around for awhile during his first WWE run. Shit, I’m pretty sure it’s been tongue in cheek referenced in AEW (or the AEWEU I can’t remember) As for the Kane thing, that also lingered around a LONG time. XPac might have been the first to use it, not at all 100% on that, but I’m pretty sure 3/4 of the roster called him that at some point in 2000/2001

I remember years ago seeing some random Rock clip where he was wearing that, and my reaction was pretty much "Wha..?" *How are your lips/ How're your lips. Not "How Is Your Lips?"

I don’t think Andre the Giant ever went to a physician’s office. O/T: Rock’s “Taste of Shut Up Juice” is one that immediately popped up into my head.

Roman Reigns “I’m not a good guy, I’m not a bad guy, I’m the guy” didn’t last long at all.
