Matt Hardy, 2005. All the goodwill he had after being fired then rehired, as well as any chances of being a main eventer, were taken out behind the toolshed when he said the only thing better than ending the career of Edge would be if he died in a car wreck. And even without that line, it still would have been a bad promo. Edge thankfully caught the fumble, saying that he hoped Matt Hardy would come to their match at 100 percent, in a promo that honestly pretty much comes across like a lost Cactus Jack promo in terms of delivery, which I mean as a compliment. |

I seem to recall the Melina and Johnny Nitro promo after turning on Foley being something that basically killed any push they had going. But then Johnny has always been utter death on the mic. Another hideous one was his awful promo on Sheamus where he blathered about half man/half goat creatures and a bunch of other stuff.

Worst ever might be a stretch but I remember Cena cutting that promo on each individual member of the Nexus that really sucked. I remember him ending it off with a picture of Justin Gabriel and saying he lives an alternative lifestyle, and that was it, no actual joke or anything, just "he lives an alternative lifestyle."

Fixed that right up for you. Good lord, I cannot stand the Rock, especially when a mic is in his hand. Agreed! It seemed worse when going He came back, but burying guys and talking about monkey penises is not a way to make me watch a match. |

In WWE? Three-way tie between Good Lucha Thing, Genesis of McGillicutty, and Taker/Big Show's Desert Adventure, with an honorable mention to Baron Corbin's pre-show promo at Summerslam last year.
Outside of WWE? Jumpin' Jeff Farmer.

It seemed worse when going He came back, but burying guys and talking about monkey penises is not a way to make me watch a match. I don't care what era it is, I have always found him completely annoying. What makes me laugh is that I see the same people bash the Paul Heyman weekly rant turn around and praise the Rock's mic skills. Like, am I really the only one who sees that the Rock has done the same promo since 1997? Finally, it doesn't matter, candy ass, roody poo, millions and millions, smell what's cooking...rinse and repeat. And what makes it even worse is that EVERY SINGLE TIME he tried to make a new phrase catch on, it sank worse than the Hindenburg tied to the Titanic. Popcorn fart, how's your lips, even the whole pie deal came off stupid and forced 99% of the time, and just never caught. He was the absolute definition of a one trick pony. Seems like a nice guy, glad his movie career turned out well, but please keep him the f*** off of my wrestling. |

Remember that time when HHH opened up Raw and spoke for many minutes? That's the worst promo IMO.

When he first returned Brock had some stinkers before Heyman showed up to be his advocate. There was one where he was in the ring with Johnny Ace (and Hunter maybe?) trying to list his contract demands that was really bad.

“Well the spec, skeptics—can we do this again?”
I’m shocked that one hasn’t come up yet.

I find it hard to believe THAT Ken Patera promo got aired. Not only does Patera mess up every other word but Mean Gene is openly laughing about it on camera. It was part of a very serious storyline too, I'm amazed they didn't order a retake.

The promo that Triple H cut when he interrupted Booker T after winning the right to challenge The Game at 'mania.

Taker's desert storytime has always fascinated me since it's undoubtedly bad, but not because of delivery, just for being utterly random and inappropriate for his character. Like he woke up that morning in the mood to do an 80s Road Warriors promo, and nobody was brave enough to tell him it might not be the best idea.
For the single worst promo of all time, including lower-tier talent and not just the big names, it's difficult to choose.

There was one where he was in the ring with Johnny Ace (and Hunter maybe?) trying to list his contract demands that was really bad. I was listening to an interview that Heyman did with Jericho and Edge a few years ago, and Heyman was saying that Brock knew he wasn't good at promos (or at least lengthy ones like WWE do) and so did Vince. But they weren't sure if they would be able to convince Heyman to come back so they went with Brock cutting a promo on his own and...yeah it wasn't very good. Brock gets back to gorilla and the first thing he says to Vince is "You need to call my Jew!" and Vince just kind of nods in agreement. |

I certainly hope Paul was just being colorful with his retelling. Otherwise, yikes. |
