Best promos EVER?

[Reality Check]

You know who is about to rant and rave in this thread when he sees this one, even though it's the most memorable promo of this decade thus far.

 

[R=G]

Nobody in the WWE can improvise like this anymore...not with that same wit and coherence

When you pay attention to what he's saying, he's kind of burying the company and their decision making too...lol

As he should.

Literally, the WWE made HORRIBLE decisions for years, but they actually co-signed Cena's actions where he attempted to bury The Rock and that was almost despicable. Rock is/was at a point where he needed nothing from the WWE and came back out of love/support for the business but because he did things his way, they resented him for it. Cena has been a corporate puppet for years, so you know if the company had a problem with his comments, Cena wouldn't say them. But the way it was booked was ridiculous at some points because why would you muddy up the name of the guy coming to BOOST ratings and numbers?

A guy the established audience hates vs. "A guy only back to promote his movie" is not a good marketing move

A guy the established audience hates vs. A returning and loved Icon, is much better.

Fortunately reality took precedent and Rock remained the face and the fans didn't turn on him, but simply the idea they'd even try to make Cena the face against any loved legend, especially one of the Big 3, is mind bogglingly dumb

My Favorite Flair promo

Ended Billy Gunn's Career

He made himself a star in a 2 minute promo

The night the Rock became a Gawd

-Hulk dropping that leg on Macho and calling all of those fans pieces of shyt.




-Ric Flair... Right now he's

, but that Rumble '92 promo was. His promo on Buddy Landell was legendary.




-Dusty... Hard times has already been posted, but it's a classic.

- I hate CM Punk but that pipebomb will forever be ingrained in the lore of professional wrestling.

-The last line of Scott Hall's HOF induction needs to be included.

-Harley Race made you believe that this shyt was real.



- If New Jack was sane, he could really help a lot of young guys, specifically the bruhs, craft spectacular promos.





- Of course you gotta include this


-Jake Roberts on Ted Dibiase

Hogan got that fukkin WORK in this promo:

 

[I-Hate-You]

Savage and Hogan leading up to that match was the best exchanges I've ever seen. Randy killed for sure.

Arn works behind the scenes in the E....I wonder how many wrestlers come up to him and ask him for advice on promos

 

[3Rivers]

Forget about 2 Cold, Ron Simmons always has me in this one





Luger

 

[Sypress]

Does anyone have that Cactus Jack promo from ECW where he was talking about Uncle Willie? That definitely deserves a spot in this thread, but it's been taken off of YouTube.

Here's some thread-worthy Rocky piff:







^ his charisma and arrogance there was off the charts



"yay he said Toronto, that's where we live "



"but i'll be sure to come back when the Lakers beat the Kings in May "


Steve Austin's first promo in ECW, and the basis for the Stone Cold character:




And finally, Undertaker's opening promo at Over The Edge 1999:



This shyt was so demonic that someone actually ended up dying in the ring that night.
