    Notice how back then the best promos were almost always cut by the heels? You sympathized with the babyface, and at the same time the heels were what you wanted to be, but you hated them because you weren't like them. The greatness that is PRO WRESTLING

    @BlackDynamiteNYC this was during a time before wrestlers were truly polished when it came to the interview. Sure there were some naturals at shit talking but as the mid 80's and 90s rolled around, mic skills became just as important as ring presence and thats when wrestlers really started honing their verbal arsenal.

    when are people going to realize that the Vince McMahon wasn't the see all and be all of wrestling until the mid to later 80's. Wrestlers moved around and did tours of the WWF but it was the NWA that had the most talent...ummmm one reason why Ole is pissed with Vince Jr is because they sent Georgia wrestlers to the WWF to keep them afloat from time to time. Promoters let wrestlers be more of a free agent. Sure some areas had guys that stayed in that one area but talent moved around. At one time Dusty Rhodes was working WWF...NWA...and AWA all at once. The territory system was better for keeping things more interesting and things from getting stale...now....well if you want a hamburger you can only go to McMahon's....(add canned laughter here)...LOL

    @BlackDynamiteNYC Totally agree. Flair, Piper and definitely Dusty Rhodes. I grew up in Greenville, SC the heart of Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling as a kid in the 80s and wouldn't take anything for it. Every Monday night me and my dad would go to the matches. I only knew of WWF happenings from Pro Wrestling Illustrated. I don't recall any WWF wrestlers with great mic skills during that time, only the managers, i.e. Blassie, Albano, Grand Wizard, etc.

      Peter Maivia jumps to mind. "The Rock's" Grandfather gave him quite a verbal legacy. "Big Cat" Ernie Ladd and Dusty Rhodes both appeared in the Northeast from time to time. As did Bostonian Kevin Sullivan. Larry Zbyszko once he betrayed the most popular and accomplished guy the company had known before some guy from Venice Beach.😏💪 And the now late great "Superstar" Billy Graham who was very influential and as adept on a live Mic as his Manager Ernie "The Grand Wizard" Roth.🤔😉🎤💪🤼‍♂️B.W.
