What would that come back be again? During one of his promos when he was the American Bad Ass, he became legit pissed at the crowd chanting "What ?" ( and Undertaker being pissed at the fans is something that almost never happens, so that tells how annoying that chant is ) and eventually stopped in the middle of his promo against Ric Flair and said "I' ll tell you something, why don' t you say WHAT if you like to sleep with your own sister ?" That was truely awesome. And considring he was the biggest heel of the company back then, it worked really fine ! ...and half the fans still said what before they realized what he said

That was a fine post explaining everything

Especially with Undertaker just shaking his head in despair afterwards. Seriously, Taker is one of the wrestlers who has the most love for the fans and even HE got pissed when he heard that. The power of WHAT is scary.

Yeah, Undertaker was giving a promo and the crowd was chating 'What' and he said "say what if you're inbred or something" very funny. The Hogan one is great as well. Crowd - "WHAT?" Hogan - "Cha Gonna Do?"

Crowd - "WHAT?" Hogan - "Cha Gonna Do?" I need to see a video of this ! What makes this good is that there is almost utter silence in the crowd immediately after he says it, and then the penny seems to drop and you here a few 'ahhhhhh!'s I'd love to see a wrestler just do it back to them. Not just once or twice. But keep doing it till the crowd gets bored (or the majority of them do) Have them book someone who they know is going to get it (Santino say) and just give him 10 minutes on one show. It was funny when Stone Cold done it. It ruins alot of wrestler's good mic work now though. I was watching Heat during Santino's poem promo, and they weren't even listening to what he was saying, so it does get ridiculous. One of my favourite ever WHAT!? dialogues: 'Your name is Hugh Morrus. What? Is that supposed to be funny? What? Is that supposed to be......humerous?' The fact that Austin was playing the enraged angry redneck but still came out with comedic lines like that made it so so awesome.

I thought Taker trotted out the little quote just before he made JR kiss McMahon's ass. Could be wrong and may want to review my videos. You know, I have to ask: why do some people hate Taker after all this time? I mean, he's taken a gimmick that would have been death (no pun intented) for lesser workers and made it work for over 17 years. I know I still have incredible respect for the guy and his abilities and yeah, I still mark for the hour long ring entrances. Man knows how to work a crowd. Oh and just to claim a very minor accomplishment: post #100.

Worst thing to happen to wrestling in a while Seconded. It was actually a factor in me not watching wrestling for several months. It was just too irritating. Also, I think the Undertaker gimmick is great. It does take the right person to make it work, but someone playing a seemingly undead strongman just fits in pro-wrestling. The lightning bolt stuff is too much, but aside from that the character works. Kane is essentially a wrestling Jason Vorhees, and that was awesome too.

I stand corrected. Been a couple of years since I've seen this. But I do agree on two points:
a.) Taker just shaking his head afterwards is classic.
b.) The whole "What?" thing drove me nuts too and people STILL smurfing do it at events! ENOUGH ALREADY!

I guess the crowd saying "WHAT?" is better than the crowd being quiet.
My favorite is when the crowd says "WOOO!" whenever someone slaps someone across the chest.

I'd rather listen to a "You ****ed up" chant then a "what".At least they were paying enough attention to call a blunder.

I remember reading in (i think it was) Power Slam magazine around the time of the 2002 Royal Rumble and there was an article in there about how Lance Storm was angry that fans chanted it during his matches. I may have to find that magazine though, just to be sure.
also, Heh?
