Best promo guy in their prime poll

[WMG the 2nd]

Macho man is my pick but I understand flair as a top one. Id rather you had put Dusty over Hogan because Hogan’s worked for me as a kid but he was borderline Utlimate Warrior status a lot of time. Savage could walk that line better than both of juiced up meat head talking shyt but also making a point and making sure people wanted to watch him wrestle.

but Ric used to speak venom, talk cash shyt, and make you want to see anybody beat him.

Alright..I've read enough. Clearly Flair is held in high regard and he should. He took the Buddy Rogers gimmick to another level on his charisma and antics...Flair dropped money after money promo. Jake the Snake Roberts is more psychological and natural than anyone ever in mainstream pro wrestling. Really no one like him. That was evident during his acceptance speech at the HOF..he threw away the written shyt and told those terrific stories like it was NOTHING. Absolutely amazing.

Of course Macho Man Randy Savage is the definition of 80s wrestling. Cape, sunglasses, the voice, iconic finisher..legendary money promos. He had the superstar look from day one.

90 to 92 he cut the best promos in the buisness.


If we had to break it down starting in the 1970s in terms of cutting promos

Billy Graham
Piper from 82-84
Dusty Rhodes 1985
Ric Flair to 86-89
Jake the snake from 90 to 92
Cactus Jack 93-95
Steve Austin 96-98
The Rock 98-2003


Stopped giving a fukk after that
And I guess CM Punk held it down sometime after 2010.

I can't say who's the best but Jake the Snake is nowhere near Macho Man, Flair, or Hogan on that list

Personal taste is personal taste but I get the feeling a lot of folks are getting persona mixed up with promo-ability here. That's the only reason I can think of for Roberts trailing like this

Quotables on quotables in this one (right after Jake left Steamboat with the DDT on the concrete).

Jake the Snake ain't known for any of his promos breh. He's known for carrying around a fukking snake!

Even mean gene had to shake off what he was saying and get back In character.

It's Jake Roberts for me if its strictly judged on promos. But if you throw in charisma, character and personality along with it, then its Macho Man followed by Flair.

 

[Peter Popoff]

The Rock then Bret.

When is the last time you've seen anybody -- let alone an interviewer -- get SHIVERS from 90 seconds worth of words?
