gbacon85 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015    He was great on the mic as a heel but he could be very bland as a baby. That time he pretended Bret was coming out at a Raw in Canada is one of my favorite ever promos.With the midget? Yeah that was money Nah, the midget stuff was coked up Michaels just being an arse, I'm pretty sure it's this promo he meant (sorry if wrong)... http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xq9mks_shawn-michaels-heel-promo_sport  Some of the best heel promo work I've ever seen. Never seen that, lost interest and missed pretty much 02-09 so cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Maverick Posted April 26, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 26, 2015 Yeah it's one of my favorite ever wrestling things period. Don't think I've ever heard that much heat anywhere before or since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 27, 2015 Moderators Share Posted April 27, 2015 Not on there as he's not that amazing a promo unless you like swearing and going "HA HA HA!" in between every other word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted April 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 27, 2015 Not on there as he's not that amazing a promo unless you like swearing and going "HA HA HA!" in between every other word. but when he's swearing and going HA HA HA! he's fucking brilliant. Â Douglas should be in there...if Taz is in there, Douglas should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 27, 2015 To be fair though, if Tazz is in there then so should the majority of all wrestlers that have ever cut a promo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted April 27, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yeah, let's try and discuss guys on their own merits rather than who could Koko their way onto the actual list. Â I actually really liked Shane Douglas on the mic in ECW, second time around. It was the passion he put into his promos that convinced me that "The Franchise" actually was a guy that could be the big fish in a pond the size of ECW and I didn't mind him on top in the slightest. The promos went a long way towards that, because it sure as hell wasn't his matches. I could easily have viewed him as Dean Douglas getting ideas above his station, but I totally believed him went he was ranting about being the best. I quite liked his promo against Taz in the build for Guilty As Charged 1999 when he told Taz "the task is easier up north or down south" as preposterous as that sounds in hindsight. But he sounded like he believed every word, so I bought into him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted April 28, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yeah Douglas, for his over reliance on swearing a lot had that great promo voice which helped him so convincing and pissed off. Occasionally he struck gold with it, especially in the ECW environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted April 28, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 28, 2015 Nick Bockwinkel seems a bit too far down the list to me, and to have Scott Steiner on there at all is pretty baffling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â My favourite Douglas promo was really OTT on the un-necessary swearing, but the message he as the old timer - despite only being 34 years old at the time - was giving to the arrogant young up-&-comer Justin Credible was excellent. Â (Copied from the "Great Wrestling Transcripts" topic which is in UKFF Gold): Â "You fucking pussy! Â There's a long and storied story that starts at that front door. When Terry Funk walked through that door six years ago, he knew his job was to take Shane Douglas and make him a fucking Franchise. Â And every single person that's walked through that door in the last six years has become nothing more than a notch in my belt, Justin Credible. Â Now if you think that you, punk, if you think that you are gonna make me a notch in your belt? You got another thing coming, motherfucker. Â You see: one thing I specialized my whole career. Whether North, South or right here. I've known when to cross over the fucking line. Â Hey Justin: There's a fucking line, motherfucker, right in the middle of the ring. Â If you're man enough, step the fuck over it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeRobertsParoleOfficer Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Â Angle should be rated higher. at times an incredible pro. guy could elicit Flair/Rude promo heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted April 29, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2015 I don't know about that, the majority of Angle's promo heat was cheap hometown-bashing. There was nothing particularly special about his promos in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted April 29, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2015 Sting makes it onto my list, but only because of how incredible he was for a short run between the nWo debut and going into the rafters. I've made practically everyone I know listen to the promo he cut just before heading off into the rafters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made practically everyone I know listen to the promo he cut just before heading off into the rafters. Â I don't rate Sting as a promo in general, but his "stick it" speech the night after Fall Brawl is one of my favourite promos ever. In fact, it's one of my favourite segments of any kind in wrestling telly, ever. I loved the storyline and Sting walking away when they needed him most was a massive kick in the balls, and he gave that monologue the conviction it needed. Just fantastic. As a WCW fan, you sit there thinking "..... Shit, what happens now?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
