h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

That's a very good start at systematics. wonder if we might briefly comment on fan psychology which the catch phrases address. Like, who doesn't love to believe that "it is so because i say so", or more interesting what is the mechanism a wrestler uses to make the crowd love to hate him, my favourite HHH is an obvious here

And yes, i'm always that inspirational because ....
I'm ... damn ... BRILLIANT

Fan psychology: good idea. I will have a think about it and see what I can come up with.

Trips is kind of a bad example because other than "I am that damn good" and "Time to play the game" he doesn't really bother with catchphrases. I guess the ones he uses get his point across...and he is the guy responsible for "Suck it!" after all. Perhaps his time in DX cured him of the need to use them?

oh well i don't insist on The Game being in this one , after all, you can do another post on ATTITUDE and there he'd definitely be in

I say do we limit ourselves to present day WWE or will we freerange through the scene? I'd kind of favour the latter ...

I'm not as familiar with the other feds as I am with WWE, so I'm depending on you for the wider perspective but yes, we should have as broad a frame of reference as possible.

Alright, you go ahead, i follow.

it just occurred to me: The title of your new posting might be the same as the discussion thread: Why watch ... or Wrestling - Why Watch
