What happened to catchphrases? | WrestleZone Forums

R-Truth has been great in that aspect however, far more than any other mid-carder and better than most of the main eventers too. The Truth! Shall set you free./The truth has set me free! C-O-N-... Spiracy I'm a gooooooood R-Truth! You gon get got! Little Jimmy! And that's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing

I think WWE stars today do far too little in the way of interacting with the crow.

R-Truth has been great in that aspect however, far more than any other mid-carder and better than most of the main eventers too.

The Truth! Shall set you free./The truth has set me free!
C-O-N-... Spiracy
I'm a gooooooood R-Truth!
You gon get got!
Little Jimmy!
And that's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Ya'll best stop with that WHAT!? thing.
Ya'll pissin me the hell off!
Don't boo me, you should be booing yourselves.

He's got so many solid (and a few great) catch phrases it's no wonder he's over with the live crowds.

The Miz has "Awesome", & "Really?" & "Because I'm The Miz!... and I'm... AWESOME!!!"

A good number of guys have at least one or two catch phrases.

That said, no one aside from John Cena & R-Truth interact consistently with the crowds. CM Punk talks at the crowd, once in a while he asks the crowd a question, but mostly he just talks AT them and says he's their voice. /shrug meh. It seems to be working for him which is good but I keep expecting Punk's bandwagon to get smaller and smaller as time goes on. The guys that really get over well with the crowds are the guys that really make the crowds feel like they are a part of the show.

I truly believe that if more of the superstars would include the crowd more during their promo's that ticket sales would increase, and likely so would ratings. I mean Steve Austin always worked the crowd. "If you want to see Stone Cold kick this guys ass give me a hell yeah." "HELL YEAH!!!" Kurt Angle was constantly working the "You Suck!" & "What!?" chants.
