Shawn Michaels had the best troll, but the promo leading up to it wasn't really as compelling, it was really just prolonged cheap heat rehashing Montreal. It worked like a charm and made for a fantastic heel moment, but it wasn't really as compelling as the other two to me.
Of those, I'd have to gives the edge to Henry. Bryan's promo was great, but he can't help but corpse a little when he's about to deliver something good, and his expressions were giving it away more as he reached the end. While asking Cena to stay for it was a bit of a giveaway, Henry still sold "this is it" amazingly well.

Mark Henry, and I'm still sad that he didn't get a tiny title run out of that.

The twist ending to the Henry promo was out of left field and completely changed my opinion of him. It was fantastic.
With the Bryan promo, I was hoping from the second he came out that he would say exactly what he said. Although, the half-assed Yes chant on the way in in contrast to the wild one on the way out made the segment worthwhile.
I have the HBK one playing right now, and I wouldn't even rank it in his top promos. It was good, but I wouldn't say its as great of a troll as the other two.
Hell, I'd even put Jericho's 2012 non-promos higher on the list of troll promos.

It's missing Jericho's big return only to come out and not say anything.

Honestly the Bryan promo got me there toward the end, up until the, "Is my career over?" gave away where he was going with it (though I already kind of figured with the #YesYesYes). Henry I saw through from the word go though it was still great. Michaels one was alright.

Shawn Michaels because by definition it's the only one that was actually trolling. the other 2 were swerves.

Henry. He really got me there and he deserved a title run.

Shawn Michaels with Bret Hart's music definitely.
I knew the other two retirement swerves were coming a mile away.

Sgt. Slaughter trolling Canada throughout the night as guest GM Did that ever actually lead to anything or was it just a silly one off thing of him insulting Canada repeatedly and singing the U.S anthem?

Any promo Stephanie McMahon has cut in the last two years.
