I'm different compared to most of the people here. When I think of a bad promo I immediately think of bad lines, bad delivery, awkwardness from the wrestler and uncomfortableness coming from those who watch it. In a lot of these responses I see a few marks being checked but not all the marks but that's just how I critique bad promos.
I really can't think of a promo that's the absolute worst but I will say Kalisto's "lucha thing" promo checked off everything I mentioned. His delivery was shit, he was awkward (and it was even a backstage interview), we were uncomfortable watching it and he said a line that should have been buried in history but it was so bad that we're constantly bringing it up. That was horrible. Ronda's promos are definitely gonna be in contention when this is brought up down the line too.

Most of Bayley's promos post call-up.

Do we count celebrities as part of this, because Johnny Damon's promos and his 'excitement' about them are bad.
The Ultimate Warrior had some terrible ones. The only reason we give him a pass is because of his look.

That f***ing bonkers promo Enzo gave that was mostly about Frank Sinatra of all things.

I don't know if it's worst of all time, but I recall game show NXT season 1, David Otunga in a promo-off (or whatever you wanna call it) referred to his opponent as "Justin GAYbriel" like it was the sickest burn ever.

And then on the other side of the spectrum, we got Wade Barrett being told to come up with a promo about "wind," and he cut a promo about "the winds of change" that was so effective, it stuck for his entire career.

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 responding with I want you stay and nice safe coz I want to beat you and show you I am better. Was a star making moment and made Hardy look like an even bigger chump then his own promo

I’m gonna go back a bit more with mine. Sgt. Slaughter from the 1990 Summerslam. If there is a class at the PC on how to kill a crowd it’s just this promo running on a loop.

The time John Morrison cut a promo on Mayonnaise and called her "Hippopotamus breath"
It was awful. He said it in such a smug way too.
Speaking of Morrison. The promo with R-Truth that led to his heel turn was bad too.

The time John Morrison cut a promo on Mayonnaise and called her "Hippopotamus breath" I have no idea what this sentence could possibly mean. Why would he talk about mayonnaise? How does mayonnaise have breath?

Alex Riley cut a promo on Cena that ended with him saying something like things have gone A-RY! with this look on his face that he just had the greatest line in history...
The crowd was mostly silent and in response the WWE refused to let Alex Riley touch a microphone for like 2 years.

Not a full promo, just a single line:
"Bro, just because both our names end in 'ER', doesn't mean I won't send you to the E.R.!" ~Zack RydER to Jack SwaggER.
He just...seemed so proud...

This might be the cringiest Cena promo ever: Note: from the official WWE channel The worst part about this one was that they hyped it up like he had some kind of special big announcement and then we got...that

Steve Blackman staring and aggressively pointing at Terry Taylor while cutting a promo on Shamrock has never left me. It was so odd and the random shouting of "or another" at the end was just icing. It wouldn't have even been that bad if he had just faced the camera.
