That salmon jacket is absolutely iconic. The promo is incredible on its own but the addition of that jacket which felt like something Mark Henry “the person” and not Mark Henry “the wrestler” would wear made it feel like he was truly retiring. A+ moment.
Jericho and his man of 1,004 holds needs to be on this list of best promos. The giant stack of printer paper, the fact that it cut to commercial and when it came back he was still talking, and him repeating "arm bar" as different holds - perfection!
@@jonathanpeck6112 if we can’t collectively remember it, guess what? It was not great. Here’s great that’s actually great: nWo Heel turn Hogan, Dusty Rhodes hard times, Ric Flair spilled liquor, biggest side of town promo, Rock Billy & God promo, Roman Reigns this is my yard now, Road Warriors “Snack on Danger, Dine on death” promo, CM Punk pipe bomb, Roddy Piper don’t throw rocks at a man with a machine gun promo, Jake Roberts “avarice” promo, Vince McMahon Bret screwed Bret. Now, here’s great for all the WRONG reasons: Sid Vicious “we’re live, pal.” Promo, Warrior “load the ship with the rocket fuel”, New Jack “OJ Simpson keep up the good work” promo (if you’re white it may not be the same but for us it hits different when we hear it!😂), Steiner math, Booker T “hogan we coming for YOU, N--A!, Shawn Michaels “lost my smile” promo. See how all those stand out in your mind? THAT is what counts as a good promo.
@@ludotoyhunter8492If you think that Paul E. “Dangerously” Heyman isn’t the greatest orator in the history of this business, you can, in the man’s own words, “S..k My F….n D..k!”
Listen man...thank you. Thank you 1000 times for everything you produce and put out for us to view. This was another video you knocked completely out of the park. Incredibly well edited, well spoken and just...great. No other way to put it. Thank you for talking about the promos but also allowing the promo's to play as originally aired. Too many video makers like to talk over things to hear themselves instead of providing a commentary and then allowing the actual video to speak for itself.
Quite possibly THE BEST promo anyone has ever done. The passion he had with that promo. The way it interweved reality and kayfabe. But what makes that promo even better is the phone call he made after winning the championship from Lesnar. He called up Vicki after the match telling her thanks for always sticking beside him and always being there for him.
That Booker promo was a slip, so I don't know if it really counts, and honestly, you can analyze every Warrior promo and get 30 minutes of content from each one. That man was insane.
The most amazing thing about the Steiner Math promo is that Scott Steiner has an actual math degree and all the math he does in the promo is actually accurate. All of which becomes twice as funny when you find out he lost that match at Sacrifice.
@@venomsnekko no he doesn’t. His degree is actually in education but with a focus on mathematical principles. Meaning that he has enough knowledge to understand the basics to teach but he would need that teachers edition handy at ALL TIMES! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@caseyj8313 yes my dad did too. He used to watch wwf with me during the attitude era when I was totally in love with the rock. And even tho my dad claimed to "hate" wrestling, we watched raw and smackdown together every week, and he often used to laugh at Vince and the other mcmahon family members. I remember when Vincent sent Linda to the nut house- my dad found that funny too. Such happy memories of my childhood because and something I cherish now I'm a parent myself. 😊😊
Eddie’s Addict promo on Brock still brings a tear to my eye all these years later. That’s peak character building…when the lines between reality and kayfabe get really, really blurry.
I think dolph ziggler took inspiration from Eddie for his promo in 2016 putting his career on the line against the miz because he said a lot of similar stuff about it being a sickness/being an addict
Maybe we'll get some actual history. 1 Mid-Atlantic and the rest from WWF/E. WCW and ECW isn't best in "History" when more than 50% has been ignored. Not 1 JC's NWA / Crocket Promotion stuff, Iron Sheik, Dr D, Piper.. No thanks. This isn't history.
Just a few off the top of my head Mr Bios. The Gangstas promo where New Jack congratulates OJ, Cornette's promo about Evansville in Smoky Mountain, David Schultz's promo about San Francisco and Jericho's 1001 move list promo.
The one where Flair starts taking his clothes off and throwing them in the audience is the all time greatest promo ever. I can watch that one at least once a week and its still funny. Other classics are Savage WM5 "I hate your guts", Warrior "crash the plane", Jake Roberts "averice", any of the 99/00 Steiner promos, Hogan at the Andre WM3 contract signing "YOU SPEAK ENGLISH WHEN YOU TALK TO ME!"
That one is revolutionary in the sense when you watch it it makes you realize how terrible promos are today when even that is better than most stuff we get today.
I was there live for the ''Who's your daddy Montreal?'' and I have to say the televised version does not reprensent how loud it was. Montreal is an awesome wrestling city.
Hogan's Bash At The Beach '96 promo is still one of my favorites. I could be wrong, but I think it was the only time we ever saw red and yellow Hogan cut a heel promo.
It's so weird to think that the Hogan NWO heel turn promo at Bash at the Beach (July 7th) and the Austin 3:16 promo (June 23rd) at the 96 KOFT were two weeks apart.
One of my favorite promos is Macho Man Randy Savage telling Hulk Hogan that he hated his guts before Wrestlemania. That was Macho Man at his absolute best
Haven't even watched 1 minute of this yet but hot damn that intro was absolutely badass! Great job with that bro. You talking right after that "the rock says" with a slower tempo was fire!
I've always loved Steve Austins promo in ECW. The one he states that no one is going to stop him on becoming the superstar that he always knew he could be.
The promos I think that should be added for sequel video if you have one -The sit-down promo on Smackdown with The Rock and Austin for Wrestlemania X-7 -The WWE'13 promo with Punk and Austin - Dusty Rhodes "The view never changes promo" to Dustin about being his tag partner. -Paul Heyman's shoot work promo to Vince about him stealing from him - Austin's "I am going to tell you a story about man named Stone Cold Steve Austin" promo - Roddy Piper's "Don't throw stones at a man with a machine gun." - Scott Steiner's shoot promo on Ric Flair on Nitro in 2001 - Ultimate Warrior challenging Hulk Hogan to the ultimate challenge. There is probably more I can't think of.
Did I? Did I? Whoooo! I remember seeing it live. Like OSW said, Whopper Promo. Flair promos never cease to entertain. Another mention should go to his "I was born with a Golden Spoon in my mouth!" And bragged about all his clothes, styling and profiling.
Every word of that promo was accurate. 100% real and true and Vince knew it. And now Heyman gets the last laugh and honored at the HoF and Vince is out of work and won't even be mentioned by name in any WWE media. Heyman is the best talker in the history of wrestling. No question. Vince was the abusive, exploitative lion tamer who covered himself in fish chum and walked straight into the cage. He didn't know what he was in for.
Great content. Appreciate the POV that there are so many to choose from. Thanks for that walk down memory lane. Must commend ur choices of first and last videos, too.
Great video. It may not have been Rock's best promo, but when he turned heel because of "Die Rocky Die" was pretty awesome. I also love Mark Henry's false retirement.
That was an excellent promo. Farooq had one of my all time favorite lines in a promo. When he was facing the Undertaker at the 1997 KOTR, Kane's appearance had been teased and there was a lot of black mail from Paul Bearer. Farooq addresses that and tells the Undertaker the only black male he has to worry about is in the ring tonight. Omg.... I love that line in reference to the upcoming debut of Kane.
The worked shoot at Bash at the Beach 2000 could also have been in the video. Nice compilation though. I always learn a lot about wrestling history watching your channel.
Thanks for this. Its one of the main things a Wrestling fan would look for although I would rather you had the full promos rather than pictures with just audio.
Awesome video. The Dusty Rhodes "Hard Times" tears me up everytime. Thank you for doing what you do. I know you are busy as is but is this a part 1? I hope so. Love and peace
Stone Cold's "You treat me like a dog and you expect me to smile? You remind me of a jackass" is my all-time favorite promo. But there's so many other great ones. Off the top of my head: -The sitdown interview between Austin and Rock leading to Wrestlemania 17 -Mick Foley turning on The Rock after he thought Rock threw away his book -The People's Slot Machine promo from a Smackdown episode in 1999 is underappretiated. It's right up there with the Billy Gunn promo. -MJF's pipebomb -The interview between CM Punk and Stone Cold for the WWE 13 videogame -John Cena destroying Roman Reigns -Triple H and Rock teasing a Wrestlemania match in 2014
It will always be my most funniest promo that the Rock has ever done to anyone. Although, the response that he gave back to Bubba Ray's stuttering was so damn funny too.
Brett's promo was under-rated, I dont think any wrestler before or since that promo has ever been able to be a heel in one country and a hero in another like what Brett accomplished.
My most memorable promos that I haven't already seen mentioned are all Jon Moxley/Dean Ambrose. The first was the promo he cut on Seth Rollins the week after he betrayed The Shield. That cemented my Moxley fandom, and a decade later, he's my PERSONAL Best In The World at the moment. The second is the promo he cut on Seth after winning the WWE title about how he deserves it and will do anything to keep it. The third is the most personal for me: the promo he cut after coming back to AEW post-rehab. An absolute masterclass, similar in many ways to Eddie's promo from this video, but also used more as a rallying cry for those struggling with demons. It means a lot to me specifically because the love of my life is a recovering alcoholic, and hearing Mox say those things inspired me (because her addiction left figurative scars on me before she started recovery, as did many other things) and also gave me hope that she, too, can and will get through.
"Wooo! I did it again! And I have nobody to thank but myself! Not one of you people helped me! Not you Dad! Not you Mom! And certainly not you my lousy brother Bret!" -Owen Hart after winning his 2nd slammy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scott Hall " you want a war?" Gives me chills today just like it did that night I was watching Nitro, best and most important promo ever, made both companies better
Not having Jim Cornette's bloody shirt promo w/ The MIdnight Express against Paul Heyman on this list is a travesty of justice. Maybe for part 2. Otherwise, awesome content as usual!
Mark Henry's false retirement in the salmon suit was phenomenal.
His promo when he won the world title and threatened Jim Ross was hilarious also
@@pleaseshutup7053Both were classic.
That salmon jacket is absolutely iconic. The promo is incredible on its own but the addition of that jacket which felt like something Mark Henry “the person” and not Mark Henry “the wrestler” would wear made it feel like he was truly retiring. A+ moment.
My favorite fake retirement promo ever.
I was in the crowd that night, still my favorite memory from any live wrestling show I've attended.
Flair's old "Slick Rick" promo when he goes off about holding his alligators down is also a gem
This^ WOOOH!
Hell yeah
Flair has like 20 promos that should be considred among the best. "You're Lookin At The Man" is a masterpiece
Rolex wearin.
Diamond ring wearin.
Kiss stealin.
Wheelin, dealin,
Jet flyin son of a gun,
And I'm Having a Hard Time Holding These Alligators Down!
The Steiner Math promo. The stuff of legends
Oh for sure 🐐🐐🐐
“You’re fat”
YOU SEE THEY SAY ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL
The best thing about the promo is how his sums are correct
Pipebomb > Math
Jericho and his man of 1,004 holds needs to be on this list of best promos. The giant stack of printer paper, the fact that it cut to commercial and when it came back he was still talking, and him repeating "arm bar" as different holds - perfection!
one of the best>!

When it cut to commercial, he started insulting the audience and when it cut back that’s why they were booing him🤣

@@ryanbutler8333it was 9 days ago bro, I don't think the comment is getting deleted. 😂

One of my favorites is Ric Flairs victory speech from the Royal Rumble 1992. "With a tear in my eye, this is the greatest moment of my life".
I WAS GOING TO COMMENT ON THIS . ONE OF THE TOP 5 GREATEST SOLO PERFORMANCES IN WRESTLING THAT MATCH
"Hey put that cigarette out" 🚬
- Mean Gene
Never ceases to amaze me how Scott Hall made double denim look cool.
Canadian tuxedo
And a vest to boot....
Someone once said to him "drink that and it'll put hair on your chest" and he proceeded to drink that for the rest of his life
Wait until you see a majestic bret hart in the rockies.
Some ppl can do no wrong, as everything is wrong with them. Lol
Hart’s heel turn promo is GOAT
Damn, that Dusty Rhodes promo still resonates today!
Word ahead of its time !! Everything he said is what’s going on today
Dusty is right all these years later
Hard times breed better men.
Cumpyoootuhs have taken a lot of jobs daddaay.
It’s a timeless masterpiece.
Paul Heyman’s ECW One Night Stand 2005 promo deserves a shoutout.
Paul's promo to Vince in 2001 was also really good!
any Paul Heyman Promo is great.
Oh man....I feel sorry for you kid.

Sid’s “half the brain” promo was the best 😅
I am a bit sad it's not here.
'The view never changes' always brings me tears. Dusty was something else with his words.
"It'll never be over!" - Dusty Rhodes
Macho Man's cup of coffee in the Big Time Promo is one of my all-time favorites.
Also, the Cream Of The Crop.
@@discoderThe cream will rise to the top! On balance, off balance
Eddie's "I'm an addict" promo brought me to tears with how believable it was. That was storytelling at its best.
Quite possibly THE BEST promo anyone has ever done. The passion he had with that promo. The way it interweved reality and kayfabe. But what makes that promo even better is the phone call he made after winning the championship from Lesnar. He called up Vicki after the match telling her thanks for always sticking beside him and always being there for him.
Booker T's "Hogan, we comin' for you,..." and Ultimate Warrior's Nitro promo of 20 minutes of off-one's-meds lunacy.
That Booker promo was a slip, so I don't know if it really counts, and honestly, you can analyze every Warrior promo and get 30 minutes of content from each one. That man was insane.

The most amazing thing about the Steiner Math promo is that Scott Steiner has an actual math degree and all the math he does in the promo is actually accurate. All of which becomes twice as funny when you find out he lost that match at Sacrifice.
It's not remotely accurate. He's actually adding numbers correctly, but that's not how you calculate percentages lol
@@venomsnekko no he doesn’t. His degree is actually in education but with a focus on mathematical principles. Meaning that he has enough knowledge to understand the basics to teach but he would need that teachers edition handy at ALL TIMES! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Vince "...Life sucks and then you die" is propably my favorite heel promo ever. Very underrated
Yea I remember my dad reciting just this
Ah yes, id always remember that promo everytime id hit rock bottom
Any promo with the word genitalia in it is a winner lol but yeah I love that one too
@caseyj8313 yes my dad did too. He used to watch wwf with me during the attitude era when I was totally in love with the rock. And even tho my dad claimed to "hate" wrestling, we watched raw and smackdown together every week, and he often used to laugh at Vince and the other mcmahon family members. I remember when Vincent sent Linda to the nut house- my dad found that funny too. Such happy memories of my childhood because and something I cherish now I'm a parent myself. 😊😊
I think Vince's greatest promo to me is *"when he said he was going to inject a lethal dose of poison into his company"*
"I wanna say Hi to my one little fan out there.. Hello Smokey... my CAT "
LEGENDARY
Eddie’s Addict promo on Brock still brings a tear to my eye all these years later. That’s peak character building…when the lines between reality and kayfabe get really, really blurry.
I think dolph ziggler took inspiration from Eddie for his promo in 2016 putting his career on the line against the miz because he said a lot of similar stuff about it being a sickness/being an addict
Agreed, still gives me chills. Wish he was still with us. RIP to a legend.

The bret heel promo is so good because it’s all the truth, gave everything that followed legitimacy. Great work.
This needs to be a series like Blunder or Reliving the War. Man, you'd be doing the community a service.
I second this
Maybe we'll get some actual history. 1 Mid-Atlantic and the rest from WWF/E. WCW and ECW isn't best in "History" when more than 50% has been ignored.
Not 1 JC's NWA / Crocket Promotion stuff, Iron Sheik, Dr D, Piper.. No thanks. This isn't history.
Yes, plz ! Make it happen!
Let’s do it…
Completely agree!!
Just a few off the top of my head Mr Bios. The Gangstas promo where New Jack congratulates OJ, Cornette's promo about Evansville in Smoky Mountain, David Schultz's promo about San Francisco and Jericho's 1001 move list promo.
What about Bret’s El Dandy promo? I think that was a heck of a promo, and El Dandy was a jam up guy. Who are you to doubt El Dandy?
"El Dandy?! He's just a cruiserweight"
This guy's a serious professional!
El Dandy is Smokey approved.
Jam Up Guy that El Dandy
must not be a jam up guy
What a great idea for a vid/Playlist. U do an amazing job coming up with great new ideas to keep ur channel going.
Hogan’s heel turn promo at BATB 1996 will always be my favorite. The wrestling business changed forever
HHH calling Stephanie "the great wide open" was absolute GOLD!!!
"I'm a long haired skirt wearing freak, why would you want me as your champion" Raven after winning the belt at bound 4 glory 05
😂😂😂
Macho Man was king at promos. Cup of coffee or cream rises to the top, doesn’t matter he was always on
The one where Flair starts taking his clothes off and throwing them in the audience is the all time greatest promo ever. I can watch that one at least once a week and its still funny.
Other classics are Savage WM5 "I hate your guts", Warrior "crash the plane", Jake Roberts "averice", any of the 99/00 Steiner promos, Hogan at the Andre WM3 contract signing "YOU SPEAK ENGLISH WHEN YOU TALK TO ME!"
“BISCHOFF…..YOU CUT THAT CAMERA AND I’LL BE NAKED WHEN YOU GET BACK!”
Man, "Wallow in the muck of your own avarice" is a thing of beauty.
That Jake promo was legendary. But his pre match promo at WM 7 was better. Short and unbelievably sweet.
@@mikem10481 his promos during him and taker's feud was classic too
The one where flair starts running the ropes right?
I still love that one.
Superb, highly recommended video!
Jumpin Jeff Farmer's Yip promo is my personal favorite!
You got ME....mad now.
That one is revolutionary in the sense when you watch it it makes you realize how terrible promos are today when even that is better than most stuff we get today.
I love the Pipe Bomb promo! I was fortunate enough to be there live to see it in person, and it still gives me chills every time I hear it.
Drew McIntyre deff drawing from Bret’s villain arc for his current run.
"I would pound your arse but you'd probably enjoy it" the best!
One of my all time favourties is the CM Punk "You are the New York Yankees" promo on Cena. He was on fire
Terry Funk's "OINK!!" promo is probably the funniest one ever
I was there live for the ''Who's your daddy Montreal?'' and I have to say the televised version does not reprensent how loud it was. Montreal is an awesome wrestling city.
Hogan's Bash At The Beach '96 promo is still one of my favorites. I could be wrong, but I think it was the only time we ever saw red and yellow Hogan cut a heel promo.

I like the ECW mark in the front row.
@@scotttimbers2137 yeah he was cheering Hogan on 😆
At that time, I never seen so much trash in the ring.
One of my favorite promos is Macho Man Randy Savage telling Hulk Hogan that he hated his guts before Wrestlemania. That was Macho Man at his absolute best
The times when Macho Man was on the Arsenio Hall show. He was just so entertaining and memorable!
Yep, the I’ve flown with the eagles and slithered with the snakes promo is top tier.
@@JBond-fm1wb That's some beautiful stuff
He was larger than life there and that's what a wrestler should always be
Macho Man and Queen Sherri's unhinged rant at Dusty and Sapphire was dope
Jeff Jarretts "I go home" promo post losing the nwa title to Sting. Really sobering stuff from a legendary heel.
Haven't even watched 1 minute of this yet but hot damn that intro was absolutely badass! Great job with that bro. You talking right after that "the rock says" with a slower tempo was fire!
"Party's over Grandpa" is another moment that will forever live rent free in my head.
Great Broc Lesnar line!
Thank you for your time to compile these.
I've always loved Steve Austins promo in ECW. The one he states that no one is going to stop him on becoming the superstar that he always knew he could be.
Christian Cage’s first heel promo in AEW I think will be one that stands the test of time
An "Instant Classic", one might say.
100% would watch a whole series or playlist or even just a part 2. Would be amazing.
Love the content, as always. ❤
It’s amazing how a few phrases said at the right time can become so iconic and have such a huge effect on the entire business and its future
Bret's promo was so special. Biggest babyface promo of all time in Canada. Biggest heel promo in the USA.
The duality of promos.
The promos I think that should be added for sequel video if you have one
-The sit-down promo on Smackdown with The Rock and Austin for Wrestlemania X-7
-The WWE'13 promo with Punk and Austin
- Dusty Rhodes "The view never changes promo" to Dustin about being his tag partner.
-Paul Heyman's shoot work promo to Vince about him stealing from him
- Austin's "I am going to tell you a story about man named Stone Cold Steve Austin" promo
- Roddy Piper's "Don't throw stones at a man with a machine gun."
- Scott Steiner's shoot promo on Ric Flair on Nitro in 2001
- Ultimate Warrior challenging Hulk Hogan to the ultimate challenge.
There is probably more I can't think of.
Flair's promo on the last night of WCW will get you fired up
Did I? Did I? Whoooo!
I remember seeing it live. Like OSW said, Whopper Promo. Flair promos never cease to entertain. Another mention should go to his "I was born with a Golden Spoon in my mouth!" And bragged about all his clothes, styling and profiling.
Kane's promo with the dark music and red lights in the ring before his rey mysterio match, just pure genuis.!
I'm a Heyman guy so his shoot "You stole from....me" promo on Vince was a masterclass.
PAUL HEYMAN DESERVES AN EMMY
Every word of that promo was accurate. 100% real and true and Vince knew it. And now Heyman gets the last laugh and honored at the HoF and Vince is out of work and won't even be mentioned by name in any WWE media.
Heyman is the best talker in the history of wrestling. No question. Vince was the abusive, exploitative lion tamer who covered himself in fish chum and walked straight into the cage. He didn't know what he was in for.
You took hulk hogans blood and you built titan towers.
Dusty could become President with that promo today.
This video has 141% chance of being awesome
S’moa Joe
Scott Steiner cut one of the greatest promos of all time..😂

Yeah right, MTL ❤ HBK.
@@Mujanggamaybe now but definitely not in 1996-1997.

Great video. It may not have been Rock's best promo, but when he turned heel because of "Die Rocky Die" was pretty awesome. I also love Mark Henry's false retirement.
Farooq promo when he fired everyone from the Nation.. D-Lo hold the ropes for Clarence 😂😂
That was an excellent promo. Farooq had one of my all time favorite lines in a promo. When he was facing the Undertaker at the 1997 KOTR, Kane's appearance had been teased and there was a lot of black mail from Paul Bearer. Farooq addresses that and tells the Undertaker the only black male he has to worry about is in the ring tonight. Omg.... I love that line in reference to the upcoming debut of Kane.

Right? How isnt this not on here? Best thing that came out of TNA
happy to have the long episodes! put them in part 2. love your content!!!
Scott Hall's declaration of war has to be the most historic promo.

Who else heard, "You want a war? You got one" and then suddenly had the Reliving The War intro song playing in their head?
New Jack's "Shout out to my homeboy OJ Simpson, keep up the good work baby. 2 less to worry about" was my favourite ever promo.
lol you know Cornette told New Jack “go out and piss some white people off.” And that’s what New Jack did 😅

-The sitdown interview between Austin and Rock leading to Wrestlemania 17
-Mick Foley turning on The Rock after he thought Rock threw away his book
-The People's Slot Machine promo from a Smackdown episode in 1999 is underappretiated. It's right up there with the Billy Gunn promo.
-MJF's pipebomb
-The interview between CM Punk and Stone Cold for the WWE 13 videogame
-John Cena destroying Roman Reigns
-Triple H and Rock teasing a Wrestlemania match in 2014
The paul barer undertaker Kane backstory about the fire was a gem as well
What a great great video!!! I’m standing and applauding you!!! That was awesome!!!
That Rock/Billy Gunn promo is one my all-time favorites 😂😂😂
IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOUR FAVORITE IS
It will always be my most funniest promo that the Rock has ever done to anyone. Although, the response that he gave back to Bubba Ray's stuttering was so damn funny too.
1997 WCW was so good for promos/rivalries. i am enjoying every minute of it on Peacock. that Macho Man/DDP rivalry was 🔥
"Cane Dewey?!?"
One of my all time favorites.
This is extremely well put together. We need a solid collection of the best promos ever. Thanks, mate!
Jay Lethal vs. Ric Flair in TNA
Whoooo!
THATS MY LINE!!!!
Kissin’ the girls, and making em cry!!! Even that fat one!!
Hahaha
That's my line!
Oldest ride longest line
Kissin the girls and makin em cry……even that fat one!!!!
Brett's promo was under-rated, I dont think any wrestler before or since that promo has ever been able to be a heel in one country and a hero in another like what Brett accomplished.
The Bret Hart "El Dandy" promo was priceless.
It's right up there with the "Frustrated" promo. 😃
My most memorable promos that I haven't already seen mentioned are all Jon Moxley/Dean Ambrose.
The first was the promo he cut on Seth Rollins the week after he betrayed The Shield. That cemented my Moxley fandom, and a decade later, he's my PERSONAL Best In The World at the moment. The second is the promo he cut on Seth after winning the WWE title about how he deserves it and will do anything to keep it.
The third is the most personal for me: the promo he cut after coming back to AEW post-rehab. An absolute masterclass, similar in many ways to Eddie's promo from this video, but also used more as a rallying cry for those struggling with demons. It means a lot to me specifically because the love of my life is a recovering alcoholic, and hearing Mox say those things inspired me (because her addiction left figurative scars on me before she started recovery, as did many other things) and also gave me hope that she, too, can and will get through.
Next time, go full force and include Jumpin' Jeff Farmer!
Yip!
I'm going... Full... Force!
"Wooo! I did it again! And I have nobody to thank but myself! Not one of you people helped me! Not you Dad! Not you Mom! And certainly not you my lousy brother Bret!"
-Owen Hart after winning his 2nd slammy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scott Hall " you want a war?" Gives me chills today just like it did that night I was watching Nitro, best and most important promo ever, made both companies better
The greatest moment and promo in pro wrestling history
Outstanding video, well done sir. 🤘🏻
Not having Jim Cornette's bloody shirt promo w/ The MIdnight Express against Paul Heyman on this list is a travesty of justice. Maybe for part 2. Otherwise, awesome content as usual!
Damn! More of these please, great video, so many memories.
This channel is amazing. The amount of content that comes out here is really incredible. Thanks for all the hard work you do!
When you hear "Across the Nation" when you hear "you want a war? You're gonna get one!"
