I'm not even a fan of the guy but Shawn Michaels used to own Canada pretty bad, back in the day.

Shawn's Montreal promo in 2005 was an absolute masterpiece. Most new guys coming up are probably terrified of getting the kind of legit, seething heat HBK got that night (on a recent Legends of Wrestling episode, Sgt. Slaughter mentioned that was why the Un-Americans gimmick didn't work, because all the guys except Regal were afraid of getting that kind of legit hatred). Anyway, it was amazing.
EDIT: Here's the rest of the promo. Trust me, you WANT to see the conclusion.
No town/city/state/country has ever, ever, ever, EVER, EVER been owned like this before and I doubt any town/city/state/country will ever, ever, ever, EVER, EVER be just completely destroyed and embarrassed like this again, if only because inciting a crowd (not even an ECW or smark crowd, even) to chant "Shut the f*** up!" would fly in today's WWE. Neither would having to kill over a minute of airtime to simply ride out the massive heat you're getting just so you can continue with the promo. A masterpiece of ownage, and one of the top five heel promos of all-time, in my opinion.

I know a lot of people here hated it, and it was mostly pointless, but I loved Slaughter mocking Canada for no particular reason.

An E&C promo in Atlanta:
"...and you know what's the greatest thing about the Atlanta Braves? They're the New York Yankees personal bitches. That's right, the Bitchlanta Braves!"

JBL in Knoxville Tennessee said something along the lines of: "I'm gonna beat you Cena right here in Knoxville, home Pat Summit and her lesbian basketball players!"

An E&C promo in Atlanta: "...and you know what's the greatest thing about the Atlanta Braves? They're the New York Yankees personal bitches. That's right, the Bitchlanta Braves!" Oh man, that was great. And it reminded me of another of their lost, forgotten promos that was arguably in poor taste, but also drew alternating reactions of massive heat and disgusted silence. They were facing the APA, and Bradshaw's retort is equally as powerful. I actually think Bradshaw could have been a massive babyface if they'd have run with him. He certainly shows here that he has the mic chops for it. I also suspect this was a shoot, because Bradshaw seems legit pissed, as if he didn't know E&C were going to say what they did. Man, did Dallas want to see E&C lose... Starting at 2:55: www.dailymotion.com/video/x77h1k_the-acolytes-vs-edge-and-christian_sport

No matter who the heel is, at house shows Iowa always stands for Idiots Out Walking Around.
I've heard that joke 4 times and 2 times it was from MVP.

How on EARTH did we get to the second page and not mention "Ravishing" Rick Rude? Yeah, I was wondering that myself earlier, but shamefully neglected to mention the Ravishing One's verbal beatdowns of any and every town he was in.

I guess Bradshaw doesn't consider MLB major. By my count, the Astros have only been to one World Series and got beat down. The Rangers on the other hand, are still trying to find their way into one.

I always mention it, and it has already been mentioned, but Angle running down Canada is something like this:
Keep in mind, I am doing this from memory. I actually had this on my Napster at the time.
"Today is Memorial Day in the United States. (Might have been July 4th)and it is a day where we honor our our country by having parades and barbecues. We celebrate our soldiers and American heroes. Canada doesn't have any gold medal heroes like me ,and no, Ben Johnson does not count." <---GOLD!
"So I have come to offer my services as your gold medal hero. But you can't have any barbecues in Canada to honor me because you might get attacked by a moose or a caribou. Or even a grizzly. On second thought, the grizzlies don't beat anybody, especially here in Canada."<---The NBA Grizzlies used to be in Canada.

Kurt Angle once cut a promo in Canada about how they couldn't celebrate holiday's during the summer because they would light a BBQ and then get attacked by a moose. I think. This is going back to right around his debut in the WWE. God my memory is really fuzzy about this. I found the quote he said: "Canada is lacking two things. It's true. Don't make me say it again. The first is Olympic Heroes [...] The second thing that Canada is lacking is Memorial Day, which is today by the way, where we in the States celebrate our war heroes by having barbeques . And I realize here in Canada you can't have barbeques because you'd probably be attacked by a moose, or caribou, or even a grizzly."

It still fools you and makes you think Bret's gonna come out. I kinda wish he did back then. In fact, I wish Bret would just come back in some capacity. Trust me, Bret could groom someone to take on HBK and they could cut some killer promos.
