Ok, since I've never seen the old ECW really, and I never payed that much attention to TNA before they made it on Spike, I had never really seen or heard much of James Mitchell. In fact, my very first impression of him when I did see him was that his character was lame as hell, over the top, and cheesy.
Until, for some reason, this recent storyline with Abyss. Say what you will about the angle, but GodDAMN can James Mitchell cut a promo. Its like every syllable he utters has a purpose to it, and you just hang on to everything the man says. Why hasn't he made it huge in the WWE yet? He honest to God is probably the best promo guy in the business right now, and could really bring managers back in a big way.

Yeah, I've been a huge Mitchell fan since his days with WCW as James Vandenburg managing Mortis and Wrath. Just a great character with great promos.

He is good. I like him. I agree that he cuts the best promos today.

James Mitchell is one of the reasons I watch TNA.

He is awesome. He's never boring and the way he says things make them fascinating even when the storyline is mediocre. Plus I like his snazzy red suit.

I dunno, even he couldn't make last weeks promo (with the mini cell in the ring for no reason) interesting.

I think he's fun because he's so far over the top that he comes back around to greatness.

He's very absorbing. It's easy to be drawn into his character.

He's an interesting guy, though his character is really close to Paul Bearer, so that may be why he never got a good WWE run

Was he in WWE? Never heard of him. The only time I know of is when he appeared at the first One Night Stand as Sinister Minister.

I LOVED his stuff with Mikey Whipwreck in ECW and then again in MLW.
Hes pretty good with Abyss as well now, and is an awesome promo guy.

He is great. Maybe one of the more underrated promo guys, and by far the best part of Forever Hardcore

Can you believe that he makes his side living as a lounge singer?

He throws a mean fireball. The best part was, when the damn thing backfired and put the giant hole in him, he turned it into a promo.
