Superstars of today on the mic

[Smoking With Cigarettes]

Who on the roster would you guys say has the ability to best create that buzz using the mic?

Owens drops some potent bombs on the mic (when he said no one missed del rio when he was gone) but he does it in a way that is smug and relaxed.

Ambrose got a way about him that makes me interested when he talks because he is just wild.

New Day gets reaction out of the crowds and they always seem to find to bring something new each night.

Cena gets a reaction whether its what he intended for or not.

Miz promo game solid and he can drop some bombs too.

So who y'all got

When was this?

When was this?

Smackdown before SS.

If ya start at 1:20 you can see what leads up to it, Owens says it around 1:30

When was this?

Smackdown. I was cracking up because it was true.

miz needs to be removed. cena promos are either pandering to the crowd or just burying his opponent talking about how he's a nobody who makes his title worthless, his opponent has no heart and is only in it for money, or the face that runs the place line talking about how even if he isn't in the title picture, he's more important than the title. that is not a good promo game in my eyes.

Ambrose promos are good as a Baby face

But I need them heel promos

 

[mrken12]

To rank them:

New Day
Dudley Boyz
Ambrose
Owens
Bray Wyatt/Sheamus

Miz is done so he doesn't even count.

And Cena is a joke on the mic. He's nothing but cliches, pandering, and unnecessary burying. You're supposed to sell feuds with your promos and he hasn't done that in years.

Have him interrupt one of Roman's matches drunk and singing "Sweet Caroline"

 

[StatUS]

Bray, when he makes sense.
Owens
Ambrose
Xavier
Bubba Ray

Rusev is slept on too. He pretty much carried that Dolph feud.

I'm feeling Paige's mic work lately too

Forgot about Bray. Probably because the reason why he does what he does changes every few months and he hasn't won a meaningful one in a hot minute. Was gonna make a thread asking how the brehs would book him from now till mania but wanted to make this one first

[R=G]

I like Naomi on the mic..
Ambrose is alright
Miz is consistent..
Sasha is legit..
New Day do their comedy thing the right way


That's about it. Wade isn't allowed to cut loose like in 2010.

 

[Bars4TheCause]

Cena is the best in the company on the mic, easily. Brock is the next best but he doesn't talk anymore. Then Undertaker, Big Show, etc. The new generation are the worst ever at promos and it doesn't help that they generally never have a storyline.

 

[Project Downtime]

Bray, when he makes sense.
Owens
Ambrose
Xavier
Bubba Ray

Wonder who got on Paige case about her mic work. Because her mic work shortcomings were exposed few times.

Willing to bet if performers were not micromanaged and scripted to death, these lists would be a lot longer.

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Ambrose has the potential to be the IMO best promo guy they have outside of like Heyman but it's not materializing right now. I can't even really think of the last one of his that left a mark, it might be the one he and Roman did after the Shield split.
