I'm watching an old Raw and it struck me just how often "beyond a shadow of a doubt" is used in WWE promos. I can imagine Rock or HHH saying it 100 different times already. Foley is the one who said it in this particular promo. There are tons of other WWE-isms, so why don't we list them and make it so no one can hear a WWE style promo again without thinking of those awesome scriptwriters

Dusty wasn't really on hard times. He actually made a nice living as a wrestler.

Calling someone out in front of 30,000 strangers to 'settle something' actually escalates problems instead of providing a safe environment for people to hear honest grievances.

In addition to that, if there are unresolved issues after the initial dispute, waiting until there is another audience a full week later may not be the most efficient route to resolution.

Yeah, it's like, just text each other. Or e-mail. That's how most work gets done these days!

Nobody in WWE knows how to correctly say the idiom "tear you limb from limb". They always say some variation like "from limb to limb" or "limb by limb". Also the next time Jericho gives an interview, listen to how fast he says "WWE". It's like he's made it into one word, "Dubudubyee". Dude says it faster than anyone else.

You can't ruin what's already ruined. What was once cocaine fuled wildmen screaming about murdering people is now a bunch of bitchy office workers arguing about who broke the photocopier.

I know Vince does this a lot too. It's like if you didn't know the context you'd have no idea what he was even saying.

"Never give up, never surrender!" "Actually John, that kind of thinking led to World War I continuing for 4 years over the most meaningless of goals, leaving europe devastated and a generation lost. Maybe think about that."

"And there's NO ONE BACK THERE IN THE LOCKER ROOM who can face me..." *looks toward the ramp, two seconds of awkward silence* "NO ONE at all who could, um, even have like, a hope of a chance of..." *glances at ramp again* "..could face me for this WWE champion title, because I am the best, and uh, because..." *rival's music finally hits* It amazes me how often they hang someone out to dry for like an extra 10 seconds past when they're obviously supposed to be interrupting him. It's live theater, learn your loving cues, people!

It's live theater, learn your loving cues, people! There's a ton going on backstage while the show is running, so I always wonder if this is more frequently on the end of a wrestler sprinting to Gorilla, the tech crew scrambling to get an entrance cue ready, or because they booked out the specific amount of time for the segment and the person in the ring went through their promo too fast or skipped parts of it.

What ruined WWE promos for me, maybe more than any verbal tics, was that guys backstage aren't allowed to just look at the camera and yell at a guy. They have to be interviewed by a mannequin and stare off into the distance.

This is probably one that doesn't annoy many people but the one that gets me is a super simple one where its generally a really weak promo person who relies on "I mean" as the connector between two points. Its usually a cocky heel who sounds like they're just trying to regurgitate lines learned backstage. Nikki Bella is a major culprit for example. Looked up a random promo just then for examples and got it 3 times within the first minute: "my Sister was the one who betrayed me, I mean, when we came to the WWE it was meant to be the Bella twins against the world, and its never been that way, I mean, I've always been there for Brie, I always loved her, but secretly she never became the woman I wanted her to be, I mean, she is just so selfish". Stop loving saying I mean.
