It's actually the best because it was hilarious but technically Hogan's "Right gay guy at the right time" promo has to be up there.

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. THIS. Any chance of him being taken seriously as a main eventer was straight up murdered that night and then Edge buried the body the next night on Smackdown in rebuttal with the your girlfriend fell in love with a Main eventer promo.

Hogan’s New Orleans Silverdome speech gets an honorable mention.

why is "that lucha thing" considered a bad promo? botched, yes, and unintentionally hilarious for it.
I'll throw in Cena's Star Wars promo. Worst Yoda voice ever

For as much shit as Rock gets, and I agree that he had some corny lines already mentioned, the dude was always great on the mic in that he rarely flubbed lines or got lost.
I bet even Rock thought, "These people are cheering and chanting for monkey nipples and anuses! Whatever." But the dude sounded confident whenever he was on the mic, he sold it.
But Rock also had some great intense promos, I would say specifically against Foley in '98-'99. I also quote his ladder match promo when I talk about changing lightbulbs or hanging Christmas lights. Or even getting a promotion at work. I say I'm going to climb that ladder, rung by rung by damn rung. Haha.

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. From what I remember Heyman was pretty jovial about the whole thing, so it's either an inside joke between two friends or Heyman is comfortable enough with his Jewish background that he's not bothered about it.

Yea, Heyman told the story and a highly entertaining and fun way. As you stated once he got to the back he still had the mic in hand and slammed it on the desk at Gorilla. Vince said something to the effect of well that didn't go as planned and Brock agreed like that isn't my thing Brock was like call Heyman, he's my guy, he talks that's what he does best, he's my Jew.

Not a promo, but when Uncle Paul was at commentary in WWF he'd make fun of Christian's name - "That's all your parents could come up with for a name? They had nine months! You don't see my parents calling me 'Jew'!"

Yea, Paul has no qualms about using the fact he's a Jew or his Jewish heritage for a joke He's a charming guy and you see why guys in ECW went to the end of the world for him until they couldn't take it no more but yeah never let him get anywhere near money for your wrestling company.

That Charlotte/Paige promo where Charlotte was kinda crying talking about her brother. It closed Raw too.
