So I was watching "For All Mankind"...

[Tommy Fits]

And got to thinking, is Foley top 5 mic wise ? I gotta say yes. I might even put him in my top 3. Even long after he went for the cheap pop he was still able to cut a great promo when he wanted.

Foley's best >>>>> the rocks best.

Foley's spot in an all time top 5-10 mic guys is very easy to reason out, dude is flat out good especially at making you believe him no matter how out there what he is saying could be at times. If he wants you to laugh you will, if he wants you to think he's ape shyt crazy you will.




-P-

 

[Kang Deezy]

He's at the very least in the top 10, no question about it.

 

[Silkk]

In no order: Foley, Rock, Flair, Punk, Jericho


So yea

 

[The Great One]

That doc made any ill feelings/disgust towards Foley go away..

 

[KendoNagasaki]

He's definitely up there in the Top Ten along with the likes of Austin, Flair, Rock, Jake Roberts, Punk, Jericho, etc. Along with Punk, he's my personal favourite promo guy of all time.

 

[Riley Escobar]

Easily top 10, I'd put him top 5 to be honest along with Jake, Rock, Flair and Austin

 

[Project Downtime]

Foley got that gift of gab

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

He has no ears to hear his own promos

 

[Silkk]

Only problem i dislike with his mic work is when he ALWAYS starts yelling to get the point across.

Well it is wrestling breh, and his character was meant to be a nutcase.


One of the best interview guys ever, no doubt. The RF (I think) shoot he did where he talked about him and Flair's beef, and the interview guy was like "Flair said [ mentions Flair naming Foley on a list of overrated luminaries such as Brutus the Barber Beefcake etc]" and Foley starts giving this pissed off answer and finishes with "but I'll be DAMNED if I'm gonna sit here and let him try to ruin the good name of Brutus the Barber Beefcake". Had me like the way he (completely on the fly) sold being legit pissed, had the interviewer all uncomfortable and shyt, then just flipped it with a funny line at the end. GOAT level oratory ability.

Should've said recently (post tna) like that promo he had with punk i believe, i was just sitting there like "when does the yelling start"

His mankind/ECW/Cactus jack promos were incredible. this is one of my favorites, just because of how well he sold it

I'd probably hate Foley less if his mic work weren't so good. This is the legacy he has shyt on over the past decade.
