Well the announcer tournament is in its late stages, and as I`m still pretty much housebound after my operation, I fancy taking on a bigger challenge!
Who is the best speaker, the wrestler/manager/personality who produced the most consistently entertaining/intense/smurfing excellent promos! I don`t even need a tournament friendly number, because I think I will do group qualifying stages to get it to the right number.
My list so far is;
Adrian Adonis Al Snow Armando Alejandro Estrada Arn Anderson Arnold Skaaland Road Dogg Blue Meanie Bobby Heenan Booker T Brian Pillman Bubba Ray Dudley Bruce Prichard CM Punk Mick Foley Terry Funk Carlito Eddie Guerrero Edge Kurt Angle Chris Candido Christian Chris Harris Chris Jericho Chris Kanyon Diamond Dallas Page Chris Nowinski Shad JTG Curt Hennig Scott Hall Cyrus Daffney Dan Spivey Dawn Marie Shane Douglas Steve Austin Dustin Rhodes Dusty Rhodes DVon Dudley Earthquake John Tenta Ed Ferrara Eric Bischoff Ron Simmons Francine Freddie Blassie Fritz Von Erich New Jack Gary Wolfe Gene Okerlund Lanny Poffo Greg Gagne Greg Valentine Gregory Helms Jim Duggan Bret Hart Shawn Michaels Kevin Nash Lance Storm Iron Sheik Nikolai Volkoff JBL Jake Roberts James Mitchell Jay Lethal Jeff Jarrett Jerry Lawler Jim Cornette Jimmy Hart Joel Gertner Joey Styles John Cena Ken Kennedy Kenny Dykstra Kevin Sullivan Konnan Homicide Lance Cade William Regal Kerry Von Erich Larry Zybszko Eddie Gilbert Lou Albano Mark Mero Matt Striker HHH
Mike Quackenbush MVP Muhammed Hassan Oliver Humperdink Owen Hart Paul Bearer/Percy Pringle Paul Ellering Paul Orndorff Hulk Hogan Rocco Rock Johnny Grunge Raven Rhyno Ron Killings Rob Van Dam Bill Alfonso Rick Rude Ric Flair Roddy Piper Scott Damore Paul Heyman Sgt Slaughter Shane McMahon Sid Viscious Spike Dudley Tazz Steve Corino Honky Tonk Man Scott Steiner Ted Dibiase Tommy Dreamer Undertaker Harley Race Nick Bockwinkel Vince McMahon
Thats my list so far, cast your eye over it, I`m sure I`ve omitted some BIG names, but my memory is only so encylopedic! Virtually all serious suggestions will be added!

I thought the title of this thread was "Greatest Taker Of All Time". Making me think, "3 Undertakers is not much of a tournament".
oh, and add The Rock.

Ok I`ve worked out a formula to decide who is the greatest mic man of all time! This will also allow for adding names after the tournament begins. I`ll divide the names up into a series of groups, the people in which will compete against each other, and the top two will go through to the next round. Each competitor will get 2 points for a win, if two are tied for a qualifying place then the winner of the matchup between them will go through. Sound confusing? It`ll all become clear! Our first group is as follows. Group A Arnold Skaaland Ken Kennedy Jake Roberts Blue Meanie Iron Sheik Our first matchup in this tournament is;  Arnold Skaaland www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii66NmpGflI This is the only footage I could find of Arnold on the mic, and its from well after his prime but its certainly interesting to watch. VS  Ken Kennedy www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQfHCpD7wK8 The promo that put Kennedy on the map. First to three wins, don`t worry if you don`t understand what I mean by the format, it`ll all become clear as the first group continues. Lets get it on ;D |
