My Top 5 Favourite Promos

Intro

Ok guys, by now you should have read my list of my most underrated wrestling promos, so I figured it's time to hit you with my best. So sit back, relax, and grab yourselves some Mars bars, and lets get started.

5 The Paradox Of MJF

Back in early 2022. MJF, and. Cm Punk were embroided in a fierce battle of words, that became the highlight of AEW television. The pair would throw barbs back and forth at each other, from the back end of 2021, and all this fell into place, like a glove, but the best came, when I least expected it. On an episode of Dynamite, we saw the walls of Max's gingerbread house, slowly start to come down, as his vulnreble side, started to take on a show of its own, as the revolation, that he faced anti semetic bullying at school, was the capalyst for why he's the person, that he's become, but the fact that he lingered on to the hope, and love of being a Pro wrestling fan, got him through those times, but when he got the chance to meet his hero. Cm Punk, he jumped at the chance. This promo is perfect, because it was delivered with passion, and emotion. Punk couldn't believe what he had seen, and neither could I.

 4Hey Bubby Go F*** Yourself

I have just two thing to say about this segment, the first thing, was, that this was the first appearance from Jon Moxley since he had come out from Rehab, he spoke with fire and grace, and it was great to see, he looked healthy, and this was a clear implication, that Mox was back, and he wasn't going anywhere, anytime soon, and the second thing is this, if your that fan that told Mox to get out of the ring, because he's a drunk, I said this at the time, and my opinion hasn't changed. I hope you walk into your living room, and step on a piece of Lego.

3 A Rattlesnake was Born

1996 saw the WWF continue its creative state of flux. WCW Nitro was starting to fire on all cylinders, and the WWF had no answer to this. The current years at that time wouldn't be kind to the company. He who shall not be named, was indited on Federal drug charges, relating to the distribution of steroids, and fan interest had dwindled, a public image facelift was needed, and answers would slowly start to come forward, as the time, come june of 96 the King Of The Ring Tournament, would echo these sentiments. As soon as Stone Cold Steve Austin, beat. Jake The Snake Roberts, he would say the Promo that would make him millions, whilst taking shots at Roberts, this is perfection. And just like that, the fight had begun, and the Monday Night wars, were getting ready to head into overdrive. The Phrase Austin 316, still till this day, ends up on the list of WWESHOP, and. WWEEUROSHOP. coms list of top items sold, that includes mugs, and t shirts, and thats 28 years after the promo was conceived.

2 John Cena and Bray Wyatt

This came at a time when, the WWE was struggling to create new stars, the NXT Developmental system, was starting to thrive under the guidance of HHH, his way of booking, merging factions together, like glue, proved to be an excellent way for the future to blend with the main roster. Even though on the surface, this looks like a segment on the surface, it's. Johns promowork on this night was nothing short of exceptional and, his interactions with The Eater Of Worlds, made for a spellbinding experience as a fan. Bray really did have the whole world in his hands. RIP Bray. I hope the fireflies are looking after you.

1 Cm Punk The Pipebomb

What can I say about this promo, that hasn't been said already, if you cast your minds back to 2010, and 2011, the WWE's creative, was severely lacking, from the failure to create new stars, and the heavy reliance on their multi-coloured, cereal munching, cash cow, made for a confusing time for talent, this was compounded by the fact that The Miz, was placed in the main event of Mania 27, and the following years build, would rely on a years long build. So enter stage left Cm Punk, by the time july 2011 had come around, Punks relationship with WWE, was starting to become tiresome, his frustrations, that came from less than par creative, had started to get him down, so on an episode of Monday Night Raw in early July of 2011. Michael Hayes, told. The Voice Of The Voiceless, that they were going to let him air all of his grievances, and my god it was great to see. John Cena had just lost to R Truth, and in his weakened state. Punk came out and sat on the stage, he then proceeded to rip back the forbidden curtain, for all to see, from not liking the idea that John is the best in the world, forshadowing the future, whilst bringing up a friendship, that would later on disintergrate. Punks promo didn't just break down the forth wall, its become the standard bearer, in an industry, that is built on forced favouritism, and faulse hope. To me, this is Phil Brook's finest hour.
