Commentator Vince-isms
Vince McMahon is the best and worst commentator of all time. He was easily detestable and almost pretended to know nothing about wrestling as well was a complete "corporate phony".
But he was brilliant in that he was good at swaying a narrative, had a great commentator's cadence and flowed nicely with the match. That being said, he had certain turns of phrases that were just great, and for me are ingrained in wrestling lore. Add your "Vince-Isms" in this thread, because there are a lot to choose from. In short TPWW Wrasslin Forum, which is your favourite go to Vince line? My personal fave was him calling Bret Hart (most specifically) "The most scientific WWF wrestler of all time". I just thing it is easily the most hilarious explanation of a technical wrestler. Is he doing equations before the match? Why were technical wrestlers always referred to as "scientific" wrestlers. It is completely idiotic. Yet as a kid, I knew exactly what he was saying, and I guess makes sense, but what the hell. The man is crazy. |
Whatamanuever

I enjoy "Illustrious"
|
Austin always busts that out and you can tell it was because Vince was always saying it around him.
|
"In any event..."
|
hahahaha
|
One! Two! And he got him...no no!
|
SHHHHAAAAAAWWWWWNNN MIIIICHAAAEEEELLLS, THE BOY TOY, YEAH! WHOA-HO-HO-HO, HE'S HAVING A GOOD TIME, YEAH!
|
Please, Bobby Heenan!
|
Welcome.
We got a capacity crowd. |
OOH MY!
|
any time he allowed somebody he was employing/paying cash to to shit on him during commentary
|
Oh, No!!!
|
THE COVER! 2 AND...no, no. I thought he had him.
|
i'm imagining these all in Vince's commentator voice.
|
Un-be-leivable!!
A favorite of mine was of Vince doing the old school Royal Rumble inductions, especially Hakuuuuuu. |

C'mon ref, get in there!
What a son of a bitch! (only said once, and bitch was bleeped. The call is great because of why.) |
"Let's go to the ring!"
or "Let's go backstage where Sean Mooney is standing by with (insert name here)!" Always said as if whoever was in the ring or waiting backstage was the most exciting thing or person imaginable. |
Kind of wish Cole did that, acted like things mattered.

"THAT'S GORILLA MONSOON!" Vader attacking Monsoon is far and away one of by favorite moments ever.
|
1-2-DIDHEGETHIMNOHEKICKEDOUT!
|
I like when there's like an awkward moment and he has to no sell it, but you know he's going out of his fucking mind "behind the camera"
|
My least favorite Vince-ism is at every Royal Rumble everybody "joined the fray" ....every fucking person "joined the fray".....fuuuuuuuuu
|
lmfao
|
When i'm done work I'm gonna watch a bunch of New Gen stuff and die and contribute far too much to this thread.
|
When he starts every show with a WELCOME EVERYOOOONE!

Some anatomical terms I learned from Vince was solar plexus and sternum.
Also..."HE'S HAMMERING AWAY" and "HAHAHA GO GET EM RAZOR!" |
lmfao yes
|
AND SPEAKING OF THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN TED DIBIASE
|
I'm just realizing pretty much everything he said was awesome because he is gimmicking his voice and cadence so hard.
BAM BAM BIGELOW TO SQUARE OF ONE-ON-ONE WITH THE BRITISH BULL DOG |
I'm also reminded of the first Rumble that Austin won, when he was in the ring by himself and the clock wound down and Bret's music hit, Vince just yelled YES! YES! YES! That may have been the same one that had Jake's return where he just yelled JAKE! THE SNAKE! ROBERTS!
|
Vince as a commentator is the equivalent of Hulk Hogan. Bit technically good at the job but enough of a character that he's remembered as a specific kind of awesome.
|
Yeah I'd agree with that. It is awesome that he was able to "play that character" and transform so seamlessly into heel vince. He did it years before in the Memphis territory when the WWF did some work with Lawler and he was pretty damned good at it then. I think it was in '93.
His campiness is matched by none, and crafted perfectly. |
High impact maneuver
