King of the Promos?

[robbo9292]

Now promos can help build storylines and build up to that big match at the pay per view. But who in your eyes do you see as the best person who can deliver a promo. Because i'm stuck for choice of who is the best at delivering promos. We have Ric Flair who is exceptional on the microphone but give Raven a microphone and camera time he can also cut great promos, along with Mick Foley as well.

 

So who in your eyes is the best promo cutter, the king of the promos?

[dangerously420]

CM Punk for me.

[jimufctna24]

Yes Punk for me as well, masterful on the mic, the best today

 

Edge used to be very good from 2006-2009 and The Miz is very good as well

 

Of all time id say The Rock and Steve Austin are the best

The Rock. Funny, full of energy & intensity and genuinely had the fans eating out of his hand.

 

Getting over catchphrases like "roody poo candy ass" takes skillz.

[Bring Back Minipops]

Jake Roberts was as good as anyone I've ever heard on the mic.

 

Roddy Piper couldnt half cut a promo as well.

[ColinBollocks]

I was watching a promo by The Rock just earlier on WWE Vintage Collection. Just a different league to everybody.

[Kenny McBride]

Jerry Lawler. The guy INCREDIBLE range. He could do funny, intense, explanatory, teasing, ranting and every other style with equal skill. He was absolutely magnificent.

This. Jerry is amazing on the stick...

 

Rock, Flair, Foley are also high up there.

- I love the battle of wits here and, then, later on in the show, how skitso Flair goes! Both great promo guys, and I rate Flair (before his crazy old man routine) as number one because of his creativity, contemporary cultural awareness in promos, and his ability to curtail his train of thought when time was running out. Even after the crazy old man routine took over, his getting-semi-nekkid-heart-attack-having-elbow-and-knee-dropping-gucci-shoe-rifling arse is still shit hot.

[Scott Malbranque]

Nobody captivated me or held my attention like Jake Roberts when I was a kid. His promos still stuck with me through all the years, so it'd have to be him. Angle, before he went crackers was pretty cool to listen to, too.

I think of the new wave, Punk, Barrett and Alex Shelly make me smile inside...

[Whiskey_Jim]

The Rock

[The Four Horsemen]

Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair and a very honorable mention to Arn Anderson heres a brilliant one from SMW :

[SpiralTap]

Warrior!

[ThePhenom]

I think either Stone Cold or The Rock, most of their mic work is amazing to watch. I would put Mick Foley, Brian Pillman and Chris Jericho up their as well.

[Smegma Cake]

At this moment of time? CM Punk, Wade Barrett and The Miz. Sheamus was doing some awesome stuff earlier this year and I loved Kanes stuff.

 

Of all time? Mick Foley, Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage. Ric Flair could ramble for hours so I'd probably put him up there too.
