All the great have had a catchphrase. Something that goes with their intro, something that ends a promo, or something that just works in a match.
We all know Austin's "And that's the bottom line...", and Rock's "If you smell what the Rock is cookin'" (and many others), and Bret's "Best there is, best there was, best there ever will be". Heck, even Hacksaw Jim Duggan had "Hooooooo!", and the Godfather had, "Take a ride on the hooooooo train".
Where are they today? No one has a catch phrase, outside of Vickie Guerrero's "Excuse me!". JBL had the "Wrestling God" line for a while, and it's gone to the wayside (thankfully).
Everyone today gets critiqued on their mic skills, and how lax they are in this area, yet we have the Hardys as champions. Cena is great on the mic, and outside of the occasional "You can't see me", he doesn't have a catch phrase anymore. He doesn't even use "The champ is here", or "You want some? Come get some."
Do wrestlers need to use catchphrases to get over anymore? Who could have a great catchphrase, and who has the charisma, and mic skills, to pull one off?
