Terry Funk's "Forever" speech in Japan is a classic.
Recently, I have to go for CM Punk singing happy birthday to Rey Mysterio's daughter. I know it was probably a hugely immoral section but it was hauntingly affecting, and really defined Punk as a master heel. I don't think I've seen anything in years that has gotten that much heat.

Austin's King of the Ring 1996 promo. That's as historic as it gets.

The Rock's Billy Gunn segment stands out for me... God: Bob.. Gunn: But my name's Billy-- God: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS! Austin's King of the Ring and Jericho's WWF debut promos both instantly come to mind, but I think Austin's was more historic than Jericho's. After that promo, it was all up-hill for both Austin and the WWF/E from there.

I keep reading this as "Histrionic Promos."
I kind of wish it was.

I kinda liked Joey Style's worked shoot a few years back. It's one of only a few promos that I can recite at any given time.
"You wanna apologize? Like nothing happened? Like you didn't knock me on my ass in front of millions of people worldwide? And I'm goanna come down there and work with you. I'm not coming back. And now, thanks to the magic of live television, I'm going to show the whole word why for seven years in ECW I was the unscripted uncensored loose cannon of commentary. Six months ago WWE called me, I didn't call this company cause I was looking for a job I didn't need a job. WWE called me because they had humiliated and fired AGAIN Jim Ross. So I get JR's spot and from week one week after week I got an ongoing lecture about the differences in professional wrestling and sports entertainment. I'm not allowed to say pro wrestling I'm not allowed say wrestler I have to say sports entertainment and refer to the wrestlers as superstars. I'm told to deliberately ignore the moves and holds during the matches so I can tell stories. Well ignoring the moves and the holds is damn insulting to the athletes, the WRESTLERS not the entertainers who leave their families 300 days a year to apply their craft in that ring. Here's the best part, because I'm not a sports entertainent storyteller, I get pulled from wrestlemania. and the reason I'm given is, is because I don't sound like Jim Ross whose the guy they fired in the first place, that makes sense right? So I swallow the bitter pill, I'm a company god. I get bumped from wrestlemania then I get bumped from backlash? I'm not good enough to call backlash. In ECW I called live pay per views on my own. solo. no color commentators dragging me down. Wasn't done before me hasn't been done since. But I'm not good enough to call backlash because I'm not a sports entertainment storyteller. well you know what I am sick of sports entertainment, I am sick of male cheerleaders, I am sick of boogers, and bathroom humor, and semen and I am sick of our chairman. who likes to talk about his own semen, he mocks god, he mocks god and makes out with the divas all to feed his own insatiable ego. I am sick of sports entertainment. And most of all I'm sick of you fans who actually buy into that crap, this sports entertainment circus. I never needed this job and I don't want this job anymore. I QUIT"

CM Punk at RR10. The promo's weren't epic, but it did help make the segment epic so I guess it kind of counts.

Here's the Regal one I mentioned, not historic but it was just awesome!
Dear dear dear dear. Someone has lost their temper, haven't they? I hate to be the one to inform you, lad, but, Eugene isn't here this week. You honestly don't think that I would lead that lamb to slaughter, no no no no. What kind of a man do you think would let Eugene into the building last week? Rather perplexing question, isn't it? What kind of a diabolical villain do you think would tell Eugene to get involved in your match? It was me, sunshine! You see, me and you know each other very well indeed, don't we? Let me give you people a little history lesson. Eleven years ago, me and you were a tag team in WCW. In fact, I was your mentor, wasn't I? Yes indeed I was. What can I say? I mean, let's face facts - some people, people like us, we're just born naughty, we are. That's why we gravitated toward each other. And if you would have used and abused anyone else except for that poor, dear boy Eugene, I would have applauded your cunning. But for a clever man like yourself...it was very foolish to take advantage of a disadvantaged boy. Because now, you've made an enemy out of me! And if you want to fight, look no bloody further! Because I will quite gladly now, go and change into my ring attire, and I will join you back in that ring, and I will BATTLE YOU with EVERY OUNCE of VILE AND VENOM that RUNS THROUGH MY VEINS!
