Hi guys,
This promo is from the National Wrestling Alliance and their invasion of NJPW it's the most recent one in the story. I'm personally a bit of an NWA Fan although I hate what Bruce Tharpe has done to the Alliance and feel I may be biased in thinking this promo is pretty bad. My friend doesn't seem to think it's that bad so I thought I would bring it here and get some opinions from unbiased people.
That's the video. I feel Conway does a great job by himself and doesn't really need a mouth piece. I think Bruce Tharpe's promo work is horrible but again, I might be biased.
Can I get some opinions please?

Maybe I'm crazy, but I've been saying from the start of it that Bruce is clearly playing it up for the promos. He's doing an old, stereotypical foreigner style promo like somebody might see out of a gaijin back in the 70's. He looks like he's intentionally doing the cheese factor with it, and playing it not unlike how Low-Ki played his recent NJPW promos, almost something out of a bad kung-fu movie.
In that regard, they're somewhat entertaining. Though because he's not a very charismatic person, it almost comes across like he's playing it straight and it still is cheesy.
Or, maybe I'm giving him too much credit.
