Ciampa can fukking talk, man. Not in some extravagant promo-master Rock/Jericho style of talking, but dude has that low-key KO to him, where he sounds natural and like he means the words that come out of his mouth, without dropping forced catch phrases or wink-wink-nudge statements. And his voice sounds like the voice of a man who's been in a barfight and probably grabbed a stool at some point.

The bolded IMO is probably the most important aspect of being a great promo. Man or woman, whether you're a yeller/screamer or boastful type or a low-key matter of fact individual with understanding of timing and inflection ... believability (it ain't a word but whatever) or lack thereof will always shine through.

Yup. It's why Charlotte's promo work comes off better than Becky's, even though Becky is a better structural speaker - because the most important thing is putting what you need to say in a way that sounds like you would say it.

It's why people laugh about certain rappers using random ridiculous word choices - you can tell when something ain't comfortable to a person.

Ciampa, Owens, Bryan... these are guys that just have that to them. Miz, too. Meanwhile, Seth, early Roman... sometimes you can basically hear them trying to parrot other people's script.

Damn I hate scripted promos.

Also, believability is a word, it just isn't tagged as one here

Well, Finn hit that camera-look.
But... yeah, cuh is already an infinitely superior talker as a heel. It hasn't been long in the E, but I already infinitely prefer his character. The hairline death is even a benefit in this case. Dude has an 10-pack and a horseshoe hairline and doesn't think anyone is on his level. He should be the biggest heel in NXT by a country mile by year's end.
