Paid Members Fox Piss Posted May 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 25, 2012 Joey Styles and co are really fucking liking lists arnt they. Â Randy Savage at number 11? Didn't think he would be rated so highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 25, 2012 The worst list I've ever read. In any form of entertainment or sport. Nobody can agree with that. Fucking ridiculous. Christ, Vince McMahon should be top five. There's a lot of agenda ridden stuff there, but the glaring one is Mick Foley. Say what you want about him, he was blinding in his day. And the fact he's so low on the list AND he's actually employed by them makes you think someone in that promotion doesn't like him that much. CM Punk ahead of Hulk Hogan is hilarious, though. Its like comparing Joey Styles to Lance Russell. Â Also, I think Lou Albano and Rick Rude just came back to life, only to die of a heart attack having fucking Santino ahead of them.

Reznor Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Here is the full list of WWE's "top 25 masters of the mic" as listed on WWE.com: What do we think of that then? Not a lot.  Triple H and Mr Mcmahon are way low for a start.  Far too much to pick at with placings tbh  And where's Lawler?...HBK?.....  Road Dogg even?....

ThePhenom Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 They've put The Miz and Santino in the top 25? Oh dear. Roddy Piper doesn't belong anywhere near the top 5 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted May 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 25, 2012 Piper was one of the sharpest tongues and most vocal onscreen performers during their big boom period in 1985-86. In his prime, he was probably better than Austin, Rock or any of the catchphrase spouting lot from the late 90s. The Piper's Pit's been ripped off more times than anything else over the last 25 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted May 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 25, 2012 Christ. Even by WWE's random shit-list standards, this is a really shit, shit list. Chris Jericho is the 5th best promo guy, of all time! Like, in the entire history of the WWE only four people better have graced a microphone. Fuck off.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 25, 2012 I just realised when I noticed Vince on the list that, aside from Linda, the McMahons are pretty fantastic on the mic. Steph and Shane are superb, too, aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoistVaj Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Absolutely nothing wrong with Piper's placement there, one of the greatest of all time on the mic. CM Punk ahead of Hogan is a laugh though, utterly ridiculous. As much as I like Austin, I'd rather listen to promos from a lot of other guys on that list to be honest.

Steph and Shane are superb, too, aren't they? Yeah, they are. Steph didn't take to it as natural as her old man or brother at first but when she eventually clicked- she did. Can't be many better women- if any- better than her on the stick, can there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted May 25, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted May 25, 2012 Cena in the top ten? Get to fuck. I think he's great, but his promo work is very hit and miss. Mostly miss, come to think of it. Â As ever, current stars rank higher than they should in these sort of lists. It's to be expected. If they knocked out a list like this without a bunch of the current roster in there it would be like admitting that there aren't any big stars around anymore.

King Pitcos Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 The Rock being above Cena suggests this list was compiled sometime in 2010. Jericho being above Cena suggests this list is stupid. Still, everyone on the list was great in their heyday and for their target audience, and it's all subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshC Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Everyone I say this to pooh-poohs it, but I think DiBiase is overrated on the mic. Â Great gimmick, good charisma, good ring work too... but yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno about that, but it is harder to judge midcarders from that period because their characters were more one dimensional, and they rarely had the opportunity to say much of note for any length of time. Short pre and post PPV matches promos, and those little 20 second comments with their logo behind them during squash matches accounted for the bulk of their mic work.
