You know what I mean, like Piper's Pit, A Flair for the Gold, The Highlight Reel, Carlito's Cabana, etc.
If I have to pick, I'd probably go with The Highlight Reel, and maybe The Heartbreak Hotel after watching some episodes of Superstars and Challenge in recent memory.

As far as other ones go, I remember thinking that NWO Nightcap was lame, but I am sure that a lot of fans felt the same way. I didn't mind Mike Awesome's Love Lounge, though. It seemed like he really took everything that was given to him, despite how lame the gimmick was.

Objectively, either Highlight Reel, Piper's Pit or Flair For The Gold. But there was something charming and quaint about Dean Ambrose's "Ambrose Asylum" set just being a chair and a plant.

Brother Love, the Barbershop, and Heartbreak Hotel.
Those are my top 3.

The Flower Shop featuring Bruce aka the most over the top flamboyantly gay stereotype you could imagine.

Growing up my favorite was Jake's "Snake Pit".
He was and still is the standard bearing in cutting a promo to me. And as a child whenever he talked I was mesmerized. Hell as an adult I watch those promos back and it's still just as captivating.
Dude could read ingredients from a cereal box and it'd be awesome.

Jive Talk with Disco Inferno.
So good, they didn't bother to do more than one.

ODB's Angle using set pieces she found in the trash from the scrapped Karen's Angle show was a pretty good twist on the idea.

The Funeral Parlor for the way Paul Bearer always hammed it up

You can't beat the ones from the classic era: both Pits, even The Flower Shop and Body Shop. Brother Love Show and Funeral Parlor.
NWA as it did in some areas was playing catch-up with the WWF in this area. But Funk's Grill was great too.
Now does anyone remember even Roller Derby having a talk show segment in the 80s? With Bill Hill, coach/player from the one heel team on the roster at the time.

The Brother Love Show, although once you take a step back, you realize how bizarre it is that several of the WWF's famous angles of the late '80s/early '90s transpired as peaceful gospel music played in the background.

Does anybody remember Cafe Du Rene? I believe Dupree had only one segment of that when he berated Torrie Wilson for injuring Kurt Angle, only for John Cena to attack him.

As kid I used to turn the volume down during these "scary" segments because I thought my religious Mom would make me turn it off Then one Saturday she walked in while Paul Bearer was doing his over the top shrieking and she laughed for about 3 minutes straight. |

Hell as an adult I watch those promos back and it's still just as captivating. Dude could read ingredients from a cereal box and it'd be awesome. I watched one of these segments a few years back on Jake's DVD, that shit was STILL scary and I was a grown ass man. |
