The Rock and The Iron Sheik.

The Rock is perhaps best known for his electrifying work on the mic. It is impossible to count the number of catchphrases that the man has come up with. He seems to be speaking a language of his own whenever he takes to the microphone. But that does not mean that all the words are necessarily his own.

One of the things that The Rock was known for was calling his opponents 'jabroni'. It was a derogatory term used to insult his rivals. But surprisingly, it was not The Rock that came up with the word but The Iron Sheik.

In an interview, The Rock revealed how the Sheik was known for using the word backstage all the time. And one day, e decided to use it in the ring. Since then it became a permanent part of his act. But kudos to The Rock as well for understanding what works and what does not in wrestling.
