Would the promo worked if someone like Steve Austin or the Rock said it? Would it worked if anyone can say it and make it credible?

I really don't think so. That just sounds so damn cheesy.

Would it have worked if it was credible? Nearly by definition, yes.
Could the Rock or Austin have made it work with the exact same dialouge? No. But it would have been more quickly forgotten as they would have had another quality line two seconds later anyway.

I can definitely see Piper doing it. Agreed. Piper may be one of the very few select guys who could say something so weird and make it work. But he's crazy, so people just write it off as some line from the Hot Rod. With Austin, if he was to say something like that, some might be complaining that Steve is losing his promo gift.

Stone Cold once called Simon Dean a "little purple bastard" so I think he could pull it off.

Its no mystery that Lashley is weak at promos. Its also no mystery that the likes of Austin and Rock were GREAT at promos. So there ya go, I'll let you do the rest.

Rock would have pulled it off somehow.

Piper would've said the same thing, but he would make it work since he sounds like a raving lunatic when he's yelling.
Austin would added something like "you're a jolly green bastard"
I would see The Rock saying something like "you're some jabroni who smells like Guinness and monkey crap"

Geez, Bobert, you could've sold the payoff a little. He just sort of goes limp at the end.
