The Rock was incredible with a catchphrase.

People wanted to gravitate towards him, so they never stopped echoing his schtick back to him, and it helped that his schtick was tremendous. One was so great that WWE named an entire show after it. "Finally, the Rock has come back..." and "The millions...and millions" were his most iconic. They generated a booming ovation every single time and cast him as an elusive gift to every city, every denizen of which was in love with him.

The best?

The best was "It doesn't matter!"

It was so brutally dismissive, and it wrong-footed the audience and his rival every time. It also allowed those rivals to show off their reaction in character. Being a heel is all about showing ass, which was rather easy to do when the Rock pulled their pants down.

Inexplicably, this was actually something Tiger Ali Singh did first.

For the uninitiated, Tiger Ali Singh was the absolute sh*ts, and as such was a brief undercard presence in 1998. He could actually talk, and played a rich pr*ck who paid audience plants to humiliate themselves. On one such occasion, he asked for the plant's name before cutting her off. "That's irrelevant, and doesn't really matter" he said.

A watching writer must have thought "Good bit. Let's give it to somebody with talent."
