Let's get ready to rumble!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| “ | For the thousands in attendance... and the millions watching around the world... ladies and gentlemen... (dramatic pause) LLLLLET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE! | ” |
-The full version of the famous quote
"Let's get ready to rumble!" is the trademarked catchphrase of American boxing announcer Michael Buffer, which he uses to introduce the featured bout on televised boxing events.
The quote has been used extensively in the media to hype sporting events. It is also used in the video game series Ready 2 Rumble Boxing and was the main lyric in hit singles "Let's Get Ready to Rumble (USA)" by Michael Buffer and "Let's Get Ready to Rhumble" by PJ & Duncan AKA.
- At the 1999 Indianapolis 500, Buffer served as guest public address announcer, and changed the catchphrase to "Let's get ready for racing!"
- WWE wrestling stable D-Generation X does a variation of Buffer's famous speech; the only difference is the word "rumble" is replaced with the infamous DX catchphrase "suck it".
- Buffer has used the phrase in other contexts; for instance, in a New York Lottery commercial, he changed the ending to "Win Big!", then went on to expound on the prizes offered by that state's lottery.
