5 worst catchphrases in WWE history

In the world of the WWE, a catchphrase can often make or break a Superstar.

When you think of epic catchphrases, you look at Superstars like The Rock, whose epic burns have lived on, far past his in-ring career.

Whether it be "the millions AND MILLIONS", or "If you can smell...", the wrestler-turned-actor is regarded as one of the greatest talkers of all time.

You know you've got a winner when a whole brand is named after one of your catchphrases.

But not every catchphrase can be a winner, and here are 5 of the worst catchphrases in WWE history.

#5 "Vintage!"

You know there's something wrong, when your commentators are forming their own catchphrases.

But when Michael Cole started using "vintage" for every other move, the now infamous word didn't go as well as some classic lines like "slobberknocker" that Jim Ross used.

Instead, vintage quickly gave fans a headache, and made even less sense when he was using the word to describe stars still relatively new to the company.

Whilst the company never made any "vintage t-shirts (yet...) the word has quickly become something of an ongoing joke amongst fans, and sadly, not a very funny one.

#4 "It is my Destiny"

In WWE, Alberto Del Rio had plenty of success, capturing the WWE, World Heavyweight and US Championship.

But if you asked Del Rio about his success, he would bombard you with talks about his destiny.

The word was overly used in the Mexican Aristocrat's first year with the company, where he was slow to reach success.

After losing in World Title match at WrestleMania 27 and Extreme Rules, Del Rio saying he was destined for great success seemed to lack any real proof.

Since leaving the company, Del Rio has had success in other promotions, so maybe his destiny was to be a late bloomer.

#3 "You Can't See Me"

As one of the biggest stars in wrestling, John Cena has appeared on countless shows and has recently transitioned to Hollywood movies.

If there's one thing you can do, it's see him.

Whilst the Cenation leader debuted the line as part of his gangster gimmick, the line quickly lost all meaning when the Prototype moved from being a solid mid-carder to the biggest star of a generation.

The phrase, however, has sold thousands, if not millions of t-shirts, so I guess you can see Cena all the way to the bank.

#2 "Spear"

When Edge returned to WWE in January 2010, the Rated-R Superstar quickly feuded with former tag partner Chris Jericho.

But in his efforts to relieve Y2J of the World Heavyweight Championship, Edge repeatedly named his finisher, in an effort to get under the skin of Jericho.

Whilst I like a good spear, the move is just a move, and repeating its name doesn't make the attack any more deadly.

It didn't help that in the build-up to their WrestleMania 26 encounter, Jericho would start repeating "spear", leaving many fans searching for Ear-plugs (or is that, Spear-plugs)?

#1 "What"

I know, I know. What is great, one part of Stone Cold Steve Austin's list of epic catchphrases.

But ever since Austin retired in 2003, What has become one of the most grating words in all of wrestling.

The one word has been used by fans across the years, often ruining many Superstar's promos.

Even Austin has said himself that he does not enjoy hearing the word put off Superstars now that he has walked away from the squared circle.

When the Rattlesnake is there, feel free to use it, but when he's away, 'What' is my worst catchphrase in WWE.
