It was either "Bang! Bang!" or "Tin Roof Rusted!" I think Foley made the right choice.

“This is awesome” ABSOLUTELY started in Ring of Honor. TNA may have had the first televised occurrence, and Meltzer may have heard it for the first time at Joe/Kobashi, but he’s a west coast guy. Anybody attending live events in the NE indies and ROH specifically in the early 2000s will tell you the same. ROH fans also coined “please don’t die” for exceptionally high highspots.

Here's a Wrestling Origin My Curiosity With Pro Wrestling started with 2002 4Kids Anime Ultimate Muscle while shows like Mucha! Lucha! and Los Luchadores from Saban Entertainment were only a small part of that Ultimate Muscle was the catalyst for fandom of the sport leading to runs with WWE, TNA, Lucha Underground, ROW and currently AEW so thank you 4Kids ya did something right for once

Crazy to think this is awesome was a mockery chant before it became a chant for a legit fantastic match. Although in hindsight I can see how it started as an insult before becoming a respected match salute. Ngl though I would've thought they would use the chant during the WWE attitude era where crowd chants were super hot. Also yes this is awesome is the best chant ever

In case anyone wondered why he was called "The Sandman" to begin with...it was LITERAL. I found out fairly soon after I first saw him in the late 90's that he'd had a surfer gimmick (odd as it STILL sounds and looks), but at first I assumed it referred to him "putting his opponents to sleep" with the cane, aided of course by the famous Metallica track...

Sweet Chin Music was first used to describe Shawn's "thrust kick" (which he'd used since the 80's) in 1995; IDT Russo had any authority THEN (if he was even in the company). He was first employed as a WWF Magazine writer called "Vic Venom" in around '96 or so, perhaps a booking assistant (to Vince McMahon and Pat Patterson) at most. I'm pretty sure he was merely a dirtsheet writer with a wrestling radio show; I think Shawn has that confused...
