[Gsmooth84]

@TheKojiSasaki r-truth

[illdoitin5mins]

If the wwe crowds want something good to say, bring back the HOLY SHIT! or YOU FUCKED UP! chants,

[imthelegendkiller]

i actually think the "WHAT?" chants are funny :P

[JDtheDrunk]

This chant is proof positive of the collective stupidity of pro wrestling fans.

[bridaco]

@JDtheDrunk Proof your simple mind is easily annoyed. Your own stupidity is proven with your posts.

[JDtheDrunk]

@bridaco What?

[pqer121]

@JDtheDrunk what?

[gannon1op]

i am okay with the what? but really during the national anthem? a bit rude

[imabeast3769]

Subscribe and I will subscribe just tell me you subscribe

[RedQueen112]

itll last for years and years and years and years lol

[1XxhernandezxX1]

Que?

[SFGFORTHEHORDE]

what?!

[BruceBurnett]

I'd rather listen to a crowd chanting "What?" at every pause then deal with a dead crowd every show!

WHAT?! FOREVER!

[martinjamesglasgow]

@Smikewwe92 yh i know my conment meant to say even if he had tried that first he wouldn't be able to

[rummankarim]

@martinjamesglasgow well yeah it's not part of his character 

[martinjamesglasgow]

even the rock couldn't get "what?" over like stone cold did

[5mikewwe92]

@martinjamesglasgow Dude, Rock never even tried or used "what?" in his promos . So what are you talking about....

[CallmeSurvivor]

10 years later, STILL THERE

[amojo7]

Pardon?

[baronvg]

Goddamn, it's been 10 fucking years, people! 9 yr old kids who didn't even exist back in 2001 are saying that fucking annoying shit and most likely have no clue where it's from.

TEN YEARS!!!! (and counting, sadly)

[ematame]

the "what" chants are the only downside to austins career

[LucasRochaBrazil]

WHAAAAAT!?

[MichelleMcc00lfaith]

hahaha OMG! but dont u think thats disrespect for Amercia:P

[theraVen27]

wow..angle had hair when this annoying chant started.

how sad are today's wwe crowds to still be yelling this non-stop. move on people.

[highsimondrums]

Wow, that chant is fucking annoying.

[BSGabesterrFan]

@highsimondrums WHAT!?

[theogofextreme]

@highsimondrums What?

[ThySyders]

@highsimondrums WHAT?!

[thndrct218]

what?

[XenittX]

somebody reply..

Do americans really dont understand all this WWE is staged?

[GunterJPN]

@XenittX

What?

[XenittX]

@GunterJPN

brainless -__- typical american

[GunterJPN]

@XenittX

stupid questions deserve stupid answers.

[XenittX]

@GunterJPN

im pretty sure half of the ppl in that crowd dont understand its fake..

why else would they be so excited and going on with it..

theres a reason this isnt popular in europe,, we arent brainless meatheads over here -__-

hoije wa

[theraVen27]

@XenittX

hmmm funny you say that when a big bulk of the "legends of wrestling" are European.

even better you say that your not brainless when we have all seen European humor..

[XenittX]

@theraVen27

Legends of wrestling?

I was talking about the fans in the stadium..

Dont get me wrong I never been to the us, but whenever I see things from over there in the news, like politics, it just shows very dumb ppl trying to make their point,, I cant help it. Ive read somewhere that 1out of 4 americans is retarded, and 1/2 is fat. Thats the image we get here..

And european humor? I dont get what you mean by that ...

[theraVen27]

@XenittX

yes u mention polotics and 1 of every 2 americans is retarded.

british comedy for example

[XenittX]

@theraVen27

see,, I was right..

and I never watched british comedy,, europe isnt only GB uno -__-

[XF0N]

@XenittX no seriously......what?

[napalmman420]

I Firmly believe Micheal Cole is on steroids. Look at him here compared to now.

[xalancampbellx]

[Igorchitao17]

[Fatboy101cuz]

[marblehillpjs]

i remember that moment at the Garden. it kept going aftr the show and outside in the streets, on the trains all the way uptown.

[takiyasamsama]

13 Jan '12...errr...WHAT!

[crusherfan53]

How Lillian kept a straight face singing the national anthem while what chants rain down is beyond me. I would've lost it.

[Tud3la]

@crusherfan53

Haha I think she welcomed it, since it's apart of the WWE business.

[crusherfan53]

@Tud3la

Haha probably but still, I would've laughed my ass off.

[TheKings91]

11 jan. still going

[crusherfan53]

Going on 11 years strong now

[Wolfy2k10]

OMG Lilian has a MARVELOUS VOICE!

[PatriotsofRefuge]

[ricksgym]

[StevehStudios]

2:19

HOLY SHIT. MICHAEL COLE WAS BUFF.

[RipEGandCB]

WOW. I never would have guessed that that's how the chant began!

[88fanforlife]

if i was christian i would never delete that message

[FinSoldier1]

I think ALL OF US know when the "WHAT?!" chants ACTUALLY started...

Aug. 27, 2001 ep. of RAW: Austin steals Kurt Angle's gold medals during Angle's tag match (Angle/Jericho vs RVD/Tazz).

Aug. 30, 2001 ep. of SmackDown!: Austin, throughout the whole evening, gave the famous "WHAT?!" promo, ending the night by throwing Kurt Angle's gold medals into the Detroit River.

Sep. 3, 2001 ep. of RAW: you saw "WHAT?!" signs everywhere in the arena. Ending: Angle pushing Austin into a kiddy pool. LMFAO

[Avasonewingedangel]

3:16 for president!

[sharkmanhector4]

manita arriba si lo estas viendo en 2011, o si eres latino y viste el letrero QUE?? 1:06

[mramos1126]

Huh? I mean what?

[hungriheart]

50 yrs down the line if wwe still exists,people wil still chant it

WHAT CHANT-STONE COLD WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR THIS AS LONG AS PRO WRESTLING EXISTS

[hungriheart]

Has the WHAT chant been chanted any other place like NBA or NFL or even tna?

[theunholycrown666]

@hungriheart It was said by me to some retard on his mobile phone whilst in a restaurant last night (no joke). Was quite funny, Though I never heard it chanted at any other sporting events

[Gregolian]

This vid was made when Angle still had hair.  DAMN.

[pazzarelli26]

Still going goddamnit lmao WHAT?!

[CJ61269]

3:05 "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT"

[dmgreenberg]

And the rocket's red glare! WHAT? Red glare! WHAT? Red glare! WHAT?

[plasticwinter]

Kurt Angle: " quite frankly, it gets on my nerves" Me: quite frankly I DONT GIVE TWO SHITS WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?

[adsonkool]

[BengalsBlitz]

WHAT?WHAT?WHAT? CENA SUCKS! WHAT? ROCK SUCKS! WHAT? CM PUNKS THE BEST IN THE WORLD! WHAT? WWE SUCKS THESE DAYS? WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? IM GAY? WHAT?

[fordboyz15]

WHAT?!

[Caseygarnerguitar]

huh?? oh.. 

[Guatexico78]

" i hope it dies tomorrow..." HAHA! YEA RIGHT

[RyYajn]

Am I the only person that looked at the Star Spangled Banner portion of this video and just sort of felt a sinking feeling in the chest? Seems like some things just command a very basic level of respect. Apparently we are a nation who puts entertainers ahead of our National Anthem. That's pretty unfortunate for us, but even more unfortunate for the generations to come.

[MUNDOM316]

@RyYajn dude get over it it wasnt that big of a deal

[FoxhoundVideoGames]

@RyYajn What?

[animechats2]

0:58 christian it went from the biggest thing to the most annoying thing in ALL of wrestling entertainment . and whats even MORE annoying is that half the people dont even know WHY the hell theyre saying it for !!!!!!!!!!

[FoxhoundVideoGames]

@animechats2 What?

[wwefan34ejr]

I like how the name of the channel is Impactwrestlingforum and were watch stone cold :3

[ekoness]

WHAT??!!

[Justin3Santiago]

So now our national anthem is the "Star Spangled WHAT?"

[crasht213]

@Justin3Santiago WHAT!?

[Justin3Santiago]

@crasht213

Yeah, The Star Spangled WHAT?

[skroush1974]

Thing is, there's not one person in ACTIVE in wwe now that can cut a promo like ol' Stone Cold. and before you mention Rock, he's only building up his match w/ cena @ mania. i highly doubt he's making a full time wwe comeback, what with his successful movie career.

[FTVVEVERYONE]

@skroush1974 Rock cant cut a promo like SC. Rocks promos are full of "FINALLY THE ROCK HAS COME BACK.......TURN IT SIDEWAYS AND STICK IT UP YOUR ASS......IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK......CENA IS NOTHING BUT A FRUITY PEBBLE......LAY THE SMACKDOWN....IF YA SMELL" and all that lame ass shit. Stone Cold didnt need catchphrases to cut gritty promos and as proof of his popularity the "WHAT" thing is still goin strong 10 years later

[Dunamisdude]

What??!?

[mmprgreen350]

dont know how long its gunna last Nov 25th 2011 STILL GOING STRONG!!!! sadly it will never die

[nandotime3000]

That last "WHAT" was epic. Hahaha

[RMMaryport]

ahhhh just kidding, dont take this comment seriously

have fun :)

[SupremeMystique2]

@tna19931 open up bro, dont be so over patriotic.

[linkinwwefan]

song ??

[JinnTolser]

The whole "what" thing was never funny. It was annoying right from the start, as soon as Stone Cold started doing it. The fact that the crowd still does it all these years later just makes it even worse.

At least some heels like R-Truth play off of it pretty well.

[anticholinergic09]

"Dont you What ME lil' Jimmy!"

[Dae19832454]

And shock horror Vince tried to take some credit for this.

[kashiflover123]

lol in theur own national anthem haha

[YouGibbon]

Christians lucky. :D

[smashdude64]

[i3nni]

من قال وت سمع هههههههه

[biggjdogg]

Did he say he wonders how long it will last? hahaha. ironic

[YussufAbuelhaija]

If you like to say WHAT, give it a HELL YEAH! AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE, CAUSE STONE COLD SAID SO!!!

[YussufAbuelhaija]

Thumbs up if u saw Cole and mad buff muscles! 2:17, LOL!

[jadoneugene]

@ 1:40 we all do, Kurt.

[DanielWilliamClark]

The worst was when, during Kurt Angle's theme, the fans would follow-up "You Suck" with "What"?

[dismissed7]

@DanielWilliamClark I remember that! That was freaking hilarious! Lol!

[talal796]

ange:i cant talk now..
