Top Forum Fads/Legends Countdown (Complete)

20: Khaliese (27 pts.)

"ONVCRCHL;NFEOFAI FMAMUVHRCFGHAFA;FCCIROICVVCX"

That's usually what we heard whenever the Great Khali got on the mic. Logic would dictate that he was speaking a foreign language, while other theories state otherwise, such as Angryfan coming to the conclusion that Khali was walking around with caramels in his mouth.

But whatever he said, forum members had fun translating Khali's words to fit whatever messages they wanted to get across. Unfortunately, now that Khali has a translator, this trend is at risk of extermination.

Maybe he'll brainchop his translator and the trend will survive.

19: Finlay's Lacerated Knee (29 pts.)

We here at the Wrestlecrap forums try to shy away from making light of one's injuries. But every now and then, an injury becomes so overstated, that it becomes a tool, a trend if you will, for us crappers.

Case in point, Finlay's lacerated knee. This serious injury happened around 1999-2000 during a match with Brian Knobbs. Finlay was put through a table, which cut up his leg pretty bad. This put the Irishman on the shelf for more than five years. He made sure to point out on occasion that he came back from a lacerated knee, though.

Thus, crappers took it upon themselves to bring up the laceration whenever discussion things someone is responsible for.

Triple H holds down his peers? He also lacerated Finlay's knee.

Lashley was put through the table? Wow, yeah, I guess it really WAS overstated!

18: Credit: Rajah (30 pts.)

The internet was filling up with wrestling-related websites by the day back during the wrestling boom of the late-90s. Thus, the IWC was born. Among these many sites was the then-called rajahwwf.com. This site was run quite well with many entertaining sections, particularly the women's section that allegedly even Trish Stratus endorsed.

But as time went by, the site's legitimacy came into question. Links to poor wrestling sites popped up, while news was vague and questionable. It wasn't long before wrestlecrappers picked up on this, and whenever "newz" reared its ugly head in these threads, someone had to "credit: rajah."

While the above term still appears, the trend evolved to include random references to rajah's ambiguity. Simply put, forum members would often throw in messages reading "this may or may not happen, credit rajah."

And as long as the afformentioned site remains online, and perhaps afterwards, we will all continue to credit any newz to the man called rajah.

Sorry. Fixed.

Rajah may or may not deserve a higher place on the list.

17: Scream When You Hear Chikara (32 pts.)

The story goes, at least according to Spankypac, that a tag team comprised of Shane Matthews and Jagged elled their way through their Chikara promos. This led to participants in any Chikara-related threads to make like those two guys and uses caps and exclamation marks to symbolize their LOUD ENTHUSIASM WHENEVER TALKING ABOUT CHIKARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

YEAH, BABY!!!!!!!!!! SCREAMIN' FOR CHIKARA!!!!!!!!! 17TH BEST FAD EVER!!!!!!!!!! LET'S GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM!!!!!!!! I CAN GO TO BED NOW!!!!!!!!!

[I'm Billy Imake shirts 2 tight]

whats CHIKARA

16: Scott Steiner Says Heh! (32 pts.)

Scott Steiner is crazy; we all know that. He does a lot of yelling and cursing in his promos and he is never shy about doing whatever is necessary to get his point across. This includes giving us all a verbal nudge in the form of "Heh?"

This appears innocent enough, as it's not uncommon for someone to say "heh" or "huh" to get a reaction. However, in Big Poppa Pump's case, he said it a lot. Boy, did he say it. The only problem is, he talked so much in his promos, it was hard to really notice one three-letter word.

That is, until this magical video appeared.

Ever since then, "heh" has been a quick, throwaway thread post that everyone used to let the previous poster that something either didn't make sense, or that his or her attention was needed elsewhere.

[Stu]

Dammit, I may as well do the next five.

[I'm Billy Imake shirts 2 tight]

go for it!!

15: Johnny Parisi Who? (39 pts.)

In case you haven't noticed, there are thousands of wrestlers in this world, and only so many major promotions to go around. Getting into WWE is difficult enough, and regardless of your role, big or small, you're still way ahead of the other thousands of wrestlers out there. And whether you're relegated to D-shows or only used occasionally, you're still getting exposure and, basically have a job.

But what if things got so bad, that your own boss didn't even know you existed, despite you being on the payroll? If we're talking about this guy, we may find ourselves asking "Johnny Who?"

Depending on who you ask, Johnny Parisi was picked up after WWE bought out WCW or sometime after the first ECW ONS. The bottom line, Johnny Parisi had a job and all the fans knew it. But it appeared Vince McMahon didn't, and no one wanted to tell him.

Wrestlecrappers cried foul on the misuse of Parisi, eventually moving on with their lives and using "Parisi Who?" as the punchline of the jokes.

In the end, Mr. Parisi's greatest moment may have come toward the end of ONS when the camera panned around the ring full of wrestlers, and Joey Styles casually said "Johnny Swinger is in there."

14: JR Loves Skittles (42 pts.)

At a time in which some guy was calling himself "Spongebob No Pants," girls were saying "chika bow wow," and some weirdo dressed for the opera was dancing at a bus station, it felt like wrestling fans were at an all time low when it came to commercial spokespeople.

Really, would this guy honestly encourage you to eat Starburst Berries and Cream?

But unbeknownst to the marketing department at all these companies, the greatest shiller known to man sat behind the WWE Raw announcers booth, and his name was JR.

Just watch this if you need proof!

Forum members couldn't help but notice JR's love for Skittles. Before they knew it, his orgasmic desire for the frutiy candies were referenced in almost every single thread. It got to the point we all wished he would trounce all those horrible commercial characters.

Sadly, it was not meant to be.

13: Cena/Umaga Face-off (44 pts.)

The John Cena/Umaga feud had been raging on for a few months, and it was about to come to a head at the 2007 Royal Rumble. WWE put together a graphic of the two facing each in hopes of increasing interest among fans and making them want to order the PPV.

All it really did was give crappers one more thing to photoshop.

The gist of it is that forum members sliced the picture in half and substituted other wacky and zany characters in place of each other. The above photo is courtesy of crapper guest nottombosley.

Another popular one was the image of Maria going down on Umaga.

12: Lashley Says Bathurd! (46 pts.)

Lashley is a big, powerful guy. And when he entered the ring on one episode of Smackdown to confront his arch nemesis, Finlay, everyone expacted Bobbo to do some ass kicking. But instead, he got on the mic and insulted Finlay.

Now there's nothing wrong with that. There is such a thing called "verbal abuse." But in this case, Lashley went down the wrong road. On this night, he took the mic, approached Finlay and said:

"You say your name is Finlay and you love to fight. Well I say your name is Finlay, and you're a bathurd."

First off, he didn't really shout it. Second, thanks to a lisp, it came off as "bathurd." Third, what the hell kind of insult is calling someone a "bastard??"

Seriously, any one of these other alternatives would have been a lot better.

The forum members have not let up on him since.

11: It's Still Real To Me, Dammit. (46 pts.)

You should all know the story behind this one. That is why, for the first time in this entire damn countdown, I'm just going to copy and paste the description. This is courtesy of our own Wrestlecrap.

"Video was taken at a fanfest/conversation between a wrestling panel and some fans. One guy got very emotional about it all and proclaimed the line 'It'still real to me dammit.' This clip soon found its way onto several sites (and not all wrestling sites)and the guy has become somewhat of a celebrity.
Oh, and he posts here from time to time and goes under the name 'kongaDave.'"

Okay, that's it for tonight folks. All that we have left now is the Top 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will gradually post those as I see fit, or whenever I have time.

Let me know if you want hints posted for these or if you'd rather be surprised.

Until then, have fun.
