An honorable mention goes to Cody Rhodes' rant on both the Pros and Rookies after Husky Harris was eliminated from NXT. He got in Zack Ryder's face and said "Good luck in your future endeavors, pal". I wonder if that lit the fire for Zack to make Z!TLIS. And the words he had for Michael McGillicutty were priceless. "You wanna be Mr. Perfect Jr so bad you can taste it. But you know why you don't go by Mr. Perfect? Because you don't deserve it." You'd expect that kind of behavior from main eventers, but to hear such venom from a midcarder is pretty amazing. I can't believe I didn't watch that before. Brilliant stuff. Still doesn't compare to "Shut up! You got a mask on."

I liked the promo and still do but I watched it again recently, and most of it was just about how they should push him more but they don't because he doesn't kiss enough ass. Kind of uninspired content for a worked shoot, though he delivered it well. There was something about the company maybe being better after Vince was dead, but that wasn't really edgy or anything either, that could have been a regular kayfabe comment if he was feuding with Vince. Styles' was lot edgier I thought because he acknowledged a lot of stuff that had previously just been known from dirt sheets. "Superstars v. wrestlers", instructions to the commentators to ignore the holds and moves when calling matches, that was pretty wacky to seem him breaking into that area. I don't remember Heyman's.

My vote goes to Punk. An honorable mention goes to Cody Rhodes' rant on both the Pros and Rookies after Husky Harris was eliminated from NXT. He got in Zack Ryder's face and said "Good luck in your future endeavors, pal". I wonder if that lit the fire for Zack to make Z!TLIS. And the words he had for Michael McGillicutty were priceless. "You wanna be Mr. Perfect Jr so bad you can taste it. But you know why you don't go by Mr. Perfect? Because you don't deserve it." You'd expect that kind of behavior from main eventers, but to hear such venom from a midcarder is pretty amazing. Oh man, I remember that. That was an awesome promo. I miss that aspect of NXT

Heyman's had so much venom and anger to it, most of what he says is still true especially with Vince needing to call it entertainment

Heyman's had the best line about JBL being champ because Triple H didn't want to work Tuesdays. It's one of those lines where you cannot reply because of how badly you were owned. Shots at ECW, shots at Heyman's appearance, etc. just would've fell flat.

As much as I absolutely love Punk's worked shoot, I'll go with Heyman. His just seemed so personal and intense, plus he did it in Vince's face. Also, Punk's promo fells hollow a year later just because he has basically become a part of the institution he was destroying, while Heyman never exactly abandoned his point. Unless Punk maintains continuity (which he did with the Orton feud) and picks this back up to a "I played you all" tune; I have to go with Heyman for now. Damn was that gold!

I'll go for Punk's just because he really benefited from it. I know he's been World Champion before but this was his 'Austin 3:16' moment in his WWE career as far as I'm concerned.
