I’d say some of the best promos arguably ever cut was by Macho Man Randy Savage, an argument could be made for Ric Flair
Search for some of Mick Foley’s promos during his time in ECW on Youtube….
So I know he’s never been known as being great on the mic, but when Bret Hart “snapped” on the March 17th, 1997 episode of Raw is one of the greatest moments ever.
Love this topic!
Obviously Stone Cold and The Rock get mentioned all the time and rightfully so p- I prefer SCSA but I think Flair belongs in the discussion as well.
I also think CM Punk is an all-timer on the mic. That promo with him and Triple H still blows me away
Chris Jericho, CM Punk, The Miz…all naturals on the mic that can go off script and come up with ideas on their own. I would even throw MJF as a natural and will probably be one of the greats at the end of his career in regard to promo ability.
Yeah Bret was never a great mic guy but that moment was incredible
No doubt The Rock and Stone Cold had great mic skills during the Attitude Era. Of course Chris Jericho had some good ones as well when he was talking to Stephanie McMahon some of things he would say had me saying “ouch that was harsh” lol. I enjoyed when Triple HHH and Shawn Micheals when they where in DX and can’t forget the New Age Outlaws.
Savage was on a whole other level than anyone in the business past or present, him and Dusty Rhodes would easily top my list. Jake Roberts too, he was…and as AEW has shown…still is, one of the best talkers of all time. Also, while he lacks enough self awareness to keep himself employed these days, Jim Cornette’s rants are better than anyone’s.
yeah I love Jake Roberts work in AEW. WWE missed a chance with him managing someone for them.
Aye the Bret Hart segment where he snapped was epic, when I was a kid I thought it was real!
A lot of valid arguments presented here
Check Drew Galloway’s return promo to ICW
Jericho was pretty epic I must say
of recent times i really like mjf from aew, good heel
Ric Flair, Macho Man, Hulk Hogan, Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin to name a few.
A darkhorse entry for me is Sid.
