Daniel Bryan may currently hold the title of "King of the single word chant", but Stone Cold Steve Austin was the man who first took a single word and turned it into a WWE mainstay. This was another happy accident that turned out to be iconic, as Austin was only saying it as a joke the first time he messed with a rival by saying "What" every time the person tried to get out a whole sentence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bzB2N9xnJk To this day, we still hear fans saying "What?" to certain people, especially authority figures. If you give the WWE Universe ammunition, they are going to use it. Had someone said "Hey Vince. We should make Steve Austin's new catchphrase the word what." they would have been laughed out of the room. Things like this cannot be predicted. They happen organically, and it's one of the reasons why WWE fans are the most enthusiastic fans in the world. These are just some of the things fans will chant at the drop of a hat, but there are so many more. What is your favorite crowd chant from the WWE Universe, be it Superstar-related or not?
