This isn't about bad promos, it's about something more simple than that, a lot of great promos that are made for a promotions Youtube channel and I came across what seemed like a pretty good promo from Allysin Kay, who is pretty under-rated when it comes to her promo work, now the problem wasn't with what she was saying or the delivery, which was all good, it was the fact that I couldn't hear her, I don't know if it was the production of the promo or if something went wrong but I had a hard time actually hearing AK-47, which is a shame because it seemed like a good promo.

I remember when I went to the Nitro where Goldberg beat Hogan, I was seated in the nosebleeds and couldn't hear any of Hogan's opening promo where he said Goldberg would have to beat Scott Hall first before getting his title shot. Later, during intermission, the ring announcer reminded us of the angle but all we could hear was that Goldberg would have to go through Scott Hall tonight, which caused most of the audience to start booing because we didn't realize the title match would still happen that night. I think we were all surprised when they still did the match.
I think this is just a problem with the acoustics in the Georgia Dome (or maybe domes in general) as I couldn't understand The Rock's promo or any of the backstage skits at WM 27, everything seemed to echo too much. Then again, I understood all of the promos at the 2 RAW's I attended in 99 and 2000. I'm pretty sure we were always in the top section.

I can hear the promo you posted. It's not extremely loud but you can definitely hear it and understand it.
The issue with a lot of promos on YouTube these days is the wrestlers etc will use a webcam or something to film them and upload them. Webcam promos are my number 1 pet peeve.

I remember at the second House of Hardcore show the house mic was absolutely horrible and you couldn't make out anything anybody was saying. At one point Crowbar announced his retirement I think and there was just no reaction because nobody had any clue what he was trying to say.

I remember going to RAW in Manchester in 2010 and I couldn't hear Cena's promo because the booing was so loud. It didn't help he was feuding with Wade Barrett at the time.

There have been wrestlers who were difficult to hear because of thick accents. Savio Vega comes to mind-it's why I couldn't understand his heel turn.
