Man, I was just watching Jericho's debut on Youtube (again) and Jesus, that guy doesn't miss a beat.
Personal I believe that Jericho was the greatest promo - skit amigo in the last fifteen years. Followed by Foley, Hogan (gotta respect the time and the place) Mr Perfect, Edge (I can't stand the guy, but fair f****, he can cut a cool promo) and V1 Matt Hardy.
Matt Hardy is a personal choice, to be honest I couldn't care less about the guy untill I saw his V1 work. Really sold me as an MF'er.
This was just me. Who do you guys rate?

I loved how rock says Matter-of-factly:
"you beat some JABRONI named...JUUUUUUU-VEN-TUUUUUUD?"
Matt Hardy as a top mic worker? well everything is subjective, but his character was fun but his voice just grates on the ears.
His weak ass promos since then really made Matt lose "it"

Edge had trouble on the mic after he first began his current heel run. His promos were Shatner-esque and repetitive. Luckily, he's regained "it."

Eh I dont think Hogans real good at promos, pretty much just yells and says some cheesy stuff. Same way of "connecting" with the fans. He just looks at them for 20 minutes with some over the top unrealistic fish face after connecting with the big boot...
But yeah, Jericho, Foley, and Edge are awesome...

The way he spoke and he believed in what he said really sold Hulkster. people who are jerks always tend to be the most beloved on the mic.

Hardy? Matt "I-hope-you-die-in-a-car-crash" Hardy? No, Matt Hardy of Slug World 17 , YES THAT MATT HARDY. We're talking about his V1 era, not the "Let's hope I don't make an ass of myself" era, which is between the V1 era and the current era of "Creative's going to keep making you guys think I'm on the verge of a title push"

A promo doesn't really exist. It's all done in the ring and paced out and overscripted and the guy virtually says no more than 2 sentences which is stretched out by interruptant crowd chants. Put someone in front of the camera in the studio for 2 minutes and tell him to fill the time up through nothing but himself talking, then we'll see how good people are.

Matt Hardy was only a personal choice, I knew that people would disagree. But it was just a matter of opinion. His V1 skit with Heidenrich(SP) still makes me crack up.
Man, I never saw it before, but Edge does sound like Shatner!

The Rock is the best at promos. Better than Jericho. Better than HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN. Cos HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN just says brother a lot. The Rock can go from face to heel or vice versa in a matter of seconds.

You really have to be in that time period to judge the promo work of Hogan, Savage, Piper, Warrior, etc. Looking at them 20 years later, sure it looks like they were on an acid trip, but that was the '80's. They were killer promo guys back then. The younger fanbase won't see that, unfortunately. Twenty years from now when people see clips of Rock talking about popcorn farts and money nipples, they'll probably think the same thing. Very few things are timeless, especially in a time influenced genre like wrestling.
