Bray Wyatt could still be a good promo guy-if he tried saying something different once in a while But you can't have Bray Wyatt without the singing. God, I hated that phase of him. I'm going to say something that will probably get me laughed at: I think Big Show is the second best wrestler for promos after Cena. Dude knows how to own the room and can work with basically nothing. I don't disagree that Show can talk but I wouldn't put him second best. Him and Henry are those types when they are clicking and creative is behind them everything they say just is gold. Henry during his hall of pain run was killing it and Show was given that same treatment a few years ago and him and Sheamus def was putting on match of the night stuff.

Not for me. He tries too hard to sound "crazy". Comes across as forced This is my major issue with him. His crazy act seems like too much of an act. Like he's taken all the weak movie cliches of crazy and mixed them in a bland bowl. It doesn't help him when Cole keeps using that awful Lunatic Fringe phrase. It takes a lot away when they try to make his insanity a hashtag.

Paul Heyman is light years better

Ambrose is pretty good on the mic but if he's the best, WWE mic work really sucks.

For what it's worth, yes, I meant wrestler. Heyman is another league entirely.
And who would have thought a year ago there would be more than one vote for RUSEV being the best promo guy in WWE?

If we're just talking about wrestlers then it's either Ambrose or Wyatt, but if we're counting non-wrestlers/managers then Heyman is the clear winner.

Damn, I guess its all of a sudden cool to hate Dean Ambrose on this forum. You people are actually calling Cena a better promo guy. I guess im just biased cause Dean is my current favorite wrestler. its whatevs.

He's one of the best. When the company let's him go out and spit what he wants, he's greatness. When they give him a script, he can only do so much. Wyatt writes his own promos so that's mostly on him, Cena doesn't use promos anymore, Ambrose, I'm not sure but lately he's been on fire with what he says. I won't be surprised to hear that they let him say what he wants rather than giving him a script.

Ambrose is the best at taken cringeworthy material and making it tolerable.
"what? it's for charity"
Then follows up with a bucket throw straight to Rollin's face. I don't think a segment like that would have worked with anyone else.
I still think the best in the company is Cena, though. Maybe because he's allowed more leniency in his promos and he's welcome to go off script if he feels like it, he's often the highlight of the show for his passionate promos. It's not really a fair playing ground as others aren't given the same amount of leeway with the things they say.
Rusev is another great one. Everything that comes out of his mouth is gold and I've never left a Rusev promo not being hyped up for the upcoming match he's in. I remember him having a promo so good I actually wanted to see him face off with the Big Show. It was the promo where he said he'd kick Show in the nuts out of the blue. I burst out laughing.

Paul Heyman is so far and away above the rest I won't even consider him.
Cena and Stephanie are extremely skilled. It's one of them.
Guys who are slept on for promo abilities are Big Show and Mark Henry.

When the Shield first broke up I liked him a lot. He's a little too cutesy for me lately.
Also...AJ fans saying Dean tries too hard to act crazy. Maybe Dean should tilt his head like a dog more.

Nah, I think Rusev and Owens are both better. They feel more real, more genuine with what they say. This is my main thing, even over Heyman actually. Owens and Rusev sound like they are talking from their hearts, not their scripts. It feels genuine. And while a guy like Cena can talk, I never buy that he believes what he is saying. Dean is the best cartoon character they have currently. Props to Big E, Woods, Dusts Star and Gold. And despite what others say, Cesaro, he may struggle live, but in vignettes he is one of the best by far, he just rarely gets them.
