Memorable Promos

Blitzkrieg

What are some of the most memorable promos that you've seen in wrestling? for whatever reason (funny, historical,etc.)


One that comes to my mind, was from Paul Heyman. It was during the Invasion angle in November of 2001, and he just blasted Vince McMahon.

It was so intense, because a lot of what Heyman was saying had so much truth behind it.

He said, "When Heenen ang Mean Gene were singing Tuttie Fruitie, He was producing edgy television Vince later called 'Attitude'."

He also said "when Doink the Clown was in the WWF, Stone Cold was having his first beer in ECW."

I can't remember everything Heyman said, but he basically sat their and said that Vince stole all of his ideas to make the WWE what it is. It was great stuff.

Most foley promos are in there is best was the cain Dewey promo he did while he was in ECW

Blitzkrieg

Yeah, that one was great..about his kid and all the fans not giving a fuck.

Foley is definitely in my top 5 as far as mic-skill goes.

Crockerinho

He's in my top 1 he can do comedy, serious, anger etc..

A lot of people might not like him, but Triple H might just be my favorite promo guy ever.

Dr. Giganto

Man, that was awesome. If I'm not mistaken, he even brought up the Montreal screwjob.

One of my favorites was the Rock's "Billy Gunn talking to God" promo:

"Oh Dear God, see my name's Billy. And I just won King of the Ring. But theres just one problem. Everybody still thinks that I absolutely SUCK!. And just then Billy Gunn, your house started to shake, the heavens opened up, and God himself spoke to you and said this. "Bob...", "But my name's Bil.." "IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!!!"

I think that was the first time he used the It Doesnt Matter line

Also, remember shortly before the Orton-Foley match, when Foley called Orton into the ring and he gave this crazy promo and Orton looked terrified, and then Foley punched himself in the head until he started bleeding. That was intense

those are classic..hahaha

Yep, that promo was awesome, and it almost caused the disappointment behind the crappy resurrection of ECW - because he made it sound like it was gonna blow everything out of the water. Plus he finished with one of my favourite lines ever in wrestling....

"This Invasion.. just got taken, to the... EXXXXTRRREEMMMEEE!!" The crowd went nuts after that, it was awesome. I don't think I've ever marked so much during a promo.

3D. Wrestling Clique, Monksdiner, JimmyVan and KnowYourNews' Crafty Old Veteran.

Dr. Giganto

This never aired, but after the cameras went off after No Mercy, JBL got back in the ring and cut a killer promo on the crowd. It was awesome.

And since I mentioned the Rock earlier, I'll bringup a few more of his.

It was Stephanie's birthday and Rock came out to sing "Happy Birthday" her. He sang:

"Happy birthday to Steph
You're a ho with big breasts
So take the night off from hooking
If you smell what the Rock is cooking"

Then, when Steph was in the ring with Rhyno and Booker, and Rocky and Jericho came out to mock them. Jericho was feuding with Rhyno at the time.

Jericho: At Summerslam, I'm gonna take care of that greasy, disgusting, vile piece of trash in that ring right there. And then I'm gonna wrestle Rhyno.

Then there was the one when Rock and Jericho kept using each other's catchphrases. That was classic
