WWE: Masters of the Mic

[TribalPhoenix]

Anyone else catch this on the network from time to time as filler?

Man oh man, this is better than half the programming they have... just watched Paul Heyman's "You Stole My Legacy" bit from 2001... holy crap... Heyman is one of the absolute best ever.... GOAT.

Is that one of those things they throw on when a show ends at 9:52 to fill the 8 minute gap until 10:00? Would love to see more of a show of this type.

I know they are all on YouTube, but I'd watch a 1/2 hour show of just Flair promos from the WCW show in the mid to late 80s.

I'd watch 2 hours of just Heenan

Heyman is really one of those rare talents you can throw In a ring for 20 minutes and he will spin gold.

Believe The Rock is also one of the rare talents.

 

[The Gongshow]

The Rock and Heyman know how to work a crowd and people eat it up and listen to every word these guys have to say. Truly impressive how good and comfortable they are on the mic no matter the situation.

 

[Dylonus]

John Cena.

There, I said it.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Mick Foley could deliver a university-style lecture and have the class hang on every word.

 

[Emperoreddy]

John Cena.

There, I said it.

I wish he would go heel because I think you would really see him show how good he is on the mic.

He teases it sometimes and its amusing, but then the story demands serious Cena, which isn't my favorite at all.

Heel jokey Jern

That's exactly what it is - and they definitely need to make a full show out of it. Honestly, it was the best thing I've watched on the network outside of PPV's in quite a while... while I understand the need and market for something like Total Divas and Legends House, something like this as a full 1/2 hour show would be awesome for those of us who truly appreciate great mic work.

Confession: I watch a Flair promo pretty much every day because it always puts me in a good mood.

Flair could cut a great damn promo. I read that Vince apparently hated his promo he cut after he won the belt at the 92 Rumble.

How could anyone hate that promo? It was AWESOME.

We should make this a poll vote or a tournament of who we think is the best talker

I think it would come down to Paul and James E Cornette because back in the day Corny could rip a promo off just as good as anyone.

John Cena.

There, I said it.

John Cena is a great promo, always has been. He just needs a ****ing character change. Everyone but 5-13 year olds are sick of his annoying "beat all odds" nonsense that he's been booked with for the last 10 years.

 

[Sheppy]

I still think Foley had the best promos.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Sid Vicious.

I still think Foley had the best promos.

His promos as Mankind never get the respect they deserve. He is such a good actor that he made you believe that he was that character in real life.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Dusty could talk. Holy crap the man was a master.

 

[TribalPhoenix]

Sid Vicious.

Oh Sid was epic.....

"The only reason you're breathing......... is because I'm allowing it."

Dusty was a different kind of awesome. He possessed the greatest mic skill of all - the ability to relate to people, and make them feel like you're one of them.

That's why Austin's character was so effective.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Oh Sid was epic.....

"The only reason you're breathing......... is because I'm allowing it."

I prefer, "you’re half the man that I am, and I have half the brain that you do!"

 

[Loosie]

Oh Sid was epic.....

"The only reason you're breathing......... is because I'm allowing it."

Or the time that he asked to start over on live TV?

Just kidding Sid was really good with his pacing, and switch the quiet 'cerebral' voice that crazy manic loud voice in an instant.

Mean Gene's reaction says it all.

 

[HeymanGuy]

Yeah, they can be nice little segments. But I rarely watch the "live" stream.
