6 infamously hilarious comments in WWE history

Pro wrestling thrives on the action inside the ring as well as the comments hurled by the performers at each other. They get a rush as well as applause from the crowd, which then motivates them in the subsequent action.

WWE history is littered with verbal insults and below-the-belt remarks. They make us cringe and applaud at the same time. Few of them are done within the limits of the characters, other times they come out of it.

Here are six infamous wrestling comments.

#6 Stone Cold Steve Austin

Steve Austin and Booker T shared a love-hate relationship. Austin was insulting Booker T on an episode of SmackDown in 2001 by daring him to face The Texas Rattlesnake in the ring. Tazz was running commentary and thought he had enough of Austin’s insulting words. Tazz shared a bitter past with Austin from 'WCW/ECW Alliance' days.

He headed to the ring to confront Austin, and on seeing him in the ring, Austin said,

“Unless Booker T got real short, and real fat, real quick, you ain't no Booker T!”

Sadness was evident on Tazz's face, with the realisation that his place was now behind a desk.

#5 Paul Heyman

The wrestlers of ECW and John Bradshaw Layfield shared a hostile relationship. JBL was a staunch critic of ECW, and he had recently had an extended (9 months) WWE Championship reign on SmackDown.

Most people thought he was lucky to be the champion instead of popular wrestlers such as Booker T, Eddie Guerrero, and The Undertaker.

JBL got a chance to air his views on 2005's 'ECW One Night Stand', where he spoke about bounced cheques and business malpractices of ECW and Paul Heyman. Heyman, who was present at the event delivered a powerful rebuttal to JBL. He said,

“The only reason you were WWE Champion for a year is because Triple H didn't want to work Tuesdays!”

This must have left JBL's head hanging in shame.

#4 Daniel Bryan

John Cena and Daniel Bryan didn't see eye to eye. This incident happened before their battle at SummerSlam 2013. On Miz TV in 2013, they stood in the ring and exchanged a few words. Bryan wore a t-shirt similar to that of Cena with 'The Champ Is Here' printed on the front. Bryan then told Cena,

“This shirt is a parody of you, because I think you are a parody of wrestling”

This must have been a stinging comment because Cena had always boasted about his victories and contribution to WWE.

#3 Stone Cold

The late 90s was full of vulgar language, and Stone Cold was connecting with the fans via his abuses and insults. In 1996, he was selected to wrestle a returning Bret Hart.

In an interview, Steve Austin said,

“If you put the letter S in front of 'Hitman', you have my exact opinion of Bret Hart!”

Austin lost the bout, but continued with his jibes.

#2 Cody Rhodes

Cody Rhodes was famous for insulting members of the audience, mocking their aesthetics and hygiene, and he often boasted about his father, Dusty Rhodes.

Once he told a lady in the crowd,

“I can literally hear you getting fatter”

He then turned to an announcer and said,

“You know how many countless hours I spend in the gym while you are reading Superman comics and checking out rottentomatoes.com?”

This added extra weight to the show because it was unscripted.

#1 CM Punk

CM Punk is one of the greatest talkers in pro wrestling, and he is famous for some of the best insults in recent WWE history. His mic battles with The Rock were epic.

One was during his match with The Rock on RAW in 2013. He acted arrogant and showed complete confidence that The Rock did not deserve his spot. Punk said,
