The chant borrows from professional wrestler Ric Flair, whose trademark woo and flamboyant showmanship made him one of wrestling's most imitated personalities. Fans turned the woo into a call and response crowd routine, pairing it with two claps to build rhythm before the shout. The format spread through American stadiums and student sections, then moved easily into short online clips because everyone can copy it without lyrics or instruments. It remains popular as a compact sports celebration, instantly signalling bravado, momentum and a crowd ready to get loud together.
