You’ve stumbled upon some OLD quotes here folks! I am always looking to add to the collection, so if you have a great quote from 1997 and you can cite the time and place that it happened, then e-mail me and let me know! Thanks!
12/29/97 – Eric Bischoff – “Two things, Dillon. Number one, you’re mine, remember that. Number two and most importantly, you’re on! Hollywood Hogan will step into that ring tonight and he will win his WCW World Heavyweight title. And hey, fathead, don’t screw it up this time.”
12/22/97 – Jim Ross – “I’m a little uneasy about her hanging them balls on him.”
Jim Cornette – “Don’t worry about his balls, I’m worried about Santa Claus. I never thought I’d be happy to see Santa Claus coming out throwing candy to the kids…”
Luna – “Hey Santa, don’t you have a stocking to stuff somewhere else? The Artist Formerly Known as Goldust is expressing himself here!”
Jim Ross – “Well just gargle some more Draino and everything’ll be alright. Santa’s ignoring these two, uh, folks.”
Jim Cornette – “It’s snowing. I knew I shouldn’t ate those brownies that the fans brought in!”
Goldust – “When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed, will you get the hell outta here!”
Cornette & Ross – “Ha ha!”
Ross – “He sounds like Nathan Lane!”
Goldust – “I’m trying to do something nice for all my fans around the world and you’re sitting there with your fat old jolly stinky self. Come on!”
Jim Ross – “Is he talking to Santa or… his nearest relative?”
Jim Cornette – “I don’t know. I’m just wondering how I got in this business!”
Goldust – “Away to the window I flew like a flash, tore open the shutters and threw up the sash! The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow…”
Santa cracks Goldust with his bag of treats
Jim Ross – “Oh! Hello Santa! Ho ho ho, Goldust!”
Jim Cornette – “He hit him with the bag of goodies!”
Jim Ross – “The real Santa is kicking Goldust’s ass!”
12/15/97 – Hogan – “Well you know boss, you can tell that Hollywood’s in the house because nWo brothers, you don’t have to look under the ring, you don’t have to look in the sky, because Sting, Charlotte’s hero, is a coward. And he would never come out here, face to face and face Hollywood.”
12/8/97 – Marc Mero – “But what really irritates me is that Vince McMahon has got Marvelous Marc Mero wrestling a jobber.”
Jim Ross – “Whoa.”
Marc Mero – “You see Marvelous Marc Mero always wins, a jobber always loses. You are a jabroni. You’re a nobody. In fact, you’re not Sal Sincere, the pizza delivery boy, your name is Tom Brandi. They gave you this stupid gimmick, and you
did it. You should be ashamed of yourself.”
Jim Ross – “Yeah, I’m…and I’m a baaaad man.” – Marc Mero’s words to Sal Sincere (Tom Brandi) and Jim Ross’ repsonse.
12/1/97 – Eric Bischoff – “I’m not a wrestler. Have you ever heard me come out here and say I could wrestle?”
Mean Gene – “Well, um, not really, no…however I have, I’ve heard some rumblings.”
Eric Bischoff – “Point is, you can hear all the rumblings you want, probably coming from his [Larry Zybsyco] gut because he hasn’t had a pizza in a while…” – Eric Bischoff to Mean Gene concerning his pending match at Starrcade.
11/25/97 – “Whom gave you permission to speak? Shut your hole! And listen up! Helmsley you puke, since I am the Commissioner of the World Wrestling Federation, not only are you going to fight Sgt. Slaughter December 7th, but I’ve decided to make a little fun out of it and make it Slaughter Rules! So you and I Helmsley are going into a match called the Boot Camp Match! Ask anybody who has ever served our country in the Armed Forces what a Boot Camp Match is. Ask the Iron Sheik what a Boot Camp Match is. It ain’t pretty maggot!
Helmsley, think about this and ask yourself this question. Have you ever smelt napalm in the morning? Have you ever dug a fox-hole, Helmsley? Have you ever been pinned down in an ambush on Christmas Eve? Have you ever felt the cold steel of a bayonet inside your guts? Have you ever seen your fellow soldier blown up by a land mine? Have you ever played Russian Roulette? Maui Maui! Have you ever, Helmsley, been awarded the Purple Heart? Have you ever watched anybody die Helmsley? Have you ever killed anybody, Helmsley, with your bare hands? Ha ha ha! Think about it Helmsley, December 7th is gonna be your day of infamy and you just might be dismissed, permanently! And that’s an order!” – Sgt. Slaughter to Michael Cole about Triple H.
