Wrestling fans, past & present: Who was the all-time best at cutting promos?

[slj0101]

For the casual or non-fan: a "promo" is simply an on-camera interview where the wrestler calls out his/her opponent.


My own choices are the poll options. Choose your own if you like.

1. I always liked that pale short guy with the Undertaker

the one who carried an urn and wore too much makeup. He always cracked me up. what a nutcase.

3. Bearer, who I believe

used to be Percy Pringle back in the day.

[Fox Mulder]

5. Paul Bearer.

He was creepy.

2. Roddy Piper or SC Steve Austin

Piper because he was just crazy as shit when he did them. Austin because he called out EVERYBODY from the talent to the fans to the refs...everyone.

The Rock was usually pretty funny, but most of the big stars today (Cena, Batista, etc) seem a little too plastic.

4. YOU MAY NOT LIKE IT BUT YOU BETTER LEARN TO LOVE IT

CAUSE IT'S THE BEST THING GOING TODAY BABY!!!

My wife met him and said he was (is) a really nice guy. Bad credit but a really nice guy.

6. I always loved Chrs Jericho's promos.

And the original DX had some hilarious promos as well. (Even the second incarnation was pretty good...like the time they waged war on the CNN building.)

7. I think The Rock had the best promos.

He could really entertain an audience. I'll tell you right now, whenever The Rock had a mic in his hand, I was listening.

I never felt like that when Ric Flair or Stone Cold had the mic.

8. Kurt Angle

9. Honorable mention goes to the Iron Sheik,
