Guest fattyfudge Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) I've been thinking about this recently, and i wanted to ask you guys, in your opinion, what are some of the best wrestling promos? Now there is a hell of a lot to choose from, but in my opinion, one of the best has to be Paul Heyman's promo at ECW one night stand 2005, where he gets the crowd unbelievably amped and even lays into the Smackdown & Raw guys. I'll post it below in case you haven't seen it [video=youtube;-7AoX3LkxpA] Edited June 5, 2014 by John Hancock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Beltster Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Jumping Jeff Farmer shouldn't be allowed into this because its obvious his promo is untouchable, its not fair on anybody else to have to compete with YIP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC 536 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 This is genuinely my favourite wrestling promo of all time. [video=dailymotion;x1st1uk]http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1st1uk_steve-austin-ecw-promo-10-10-95_sport It was also eerily prophetic at the end.

Guest Jack Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Shoot promos are entertaining but I'm not sure they can be considered great promos. No matter how well they're delivered, the content is too cheap and promos like that don't sell tickets or PPVs. I'd go for Hogan's after his heel turn. Actually, Hogan for a while after his heel turn was a brilliant promo and you can probably take your pick from those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vanillascooper Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I always have a fondness for Flairs Abuse of Power promo on Eric B. In WcW. I just remember the emotion & the feeling of watching it live on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fattyfudge Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) I think this should also get an honorable mention [video=youtube;SQ7_5MMboo4] Edited June 7, 2014 by dsrchris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Beltster Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hogan from 1986 - 1987 was my favourite, he was so f*cking perfect on the mic over those 2 years. Unbelievable, I've never seen anybody better, ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC 536 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Two great (and short) promos from Jake Roberts. [video=youtube_share;EzE9UgLGjWs]http://youtu.be/EzE9UgLGjWs [video=youtube_share;xUHbb8fgSQ4]http://youtu.be/xUHbb8fgSQ4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaolinHandLock 73 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I don't know about 'best promo ever', but this promo is good, bad, and hilarious all in one. [video=youtube;rFqrppW9N0c] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FreeSpirit Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Paul Heyman on RAW the night after WrestleMania 30. He put Brock Lesnar over so well as to why the streak was conquered and attacked the stupid "What" chant!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ciaran The King Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Surely in the last 12 months Bray Waytt has placed himself in the upper echelons of being one of the best promo guys ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Beltster Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 He's good but best ever...nah. Wrestling has a looooooong history and many amazing promos. Wyatt isn't even close to them. When you are in an era of being overly scripted and 'produced' then your chances of being as good as the best is slim for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ciaran The King Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Silly question maybe but are Bray's promos all scripted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Beltster Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Everything is scripted now. They scripted the Rock when he came back, if he is getting scripted Bray Wyatt certainly is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ciaran The King Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I thought Rock and other stars of that calibre had/have artistic freedom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
