Catchphrase: Signed off on Championship Wrestling from Florida broadcasts by saying, "So long, from the Sunshine State." When WWE had their Florida Championship Wrestling developmental program (before it was rebranded as NXT Wrestling), a clip of Solie saying this would appear at the end of every episode. Introduced many now famous wrestling expressions, such as "wearing the crimson mask" (meaning the wrestler's face was covered in blood) and "Katie bar the door, it's a Pier 6 brawl." | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Gordon Solie (Wrestling) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Was broadcasting for Continental during a storyline where the Dirty White Girl came out with a "bruise" under her eye, claiming that the Dirty White Boy (Tony Anthony, aka WWE's TL Hopper and Uncle Cletus Godwinn) had hit her. This turned out to be a ruse to lure Tom Prichard out so DWB could attack him, with DWG rubbing off the makeup under her eye.note WWE sloppily recycled this angle in 1999 with Chaz (Headbanger Mosh) and the late Marianna Komlos. Solie went from being concerned to angry, refusing to interview DWB. | |
