ITT: Surprisingly decent/great promos or rants from wrestlers who generally aren't known for good promos (or are known for bad ones)Short and pre-recorded promos/rants are allowed, as long as they're not bad and it's one of the wrestler's personal best compared to their usual attemptshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KctHWnv8eg4
first one I thought ofhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r5fiUyAT0HI
>>20887261Kenny's diverticulitis promo. He's always been a dogshit promo but this hit differently because this was something real and personal to him, there was real genuine emotion here and he had the crowd in his back pocket. And then it just led to a feud with the young bucks lol.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqu0F7NLC0g
>>20887261https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SCkHpESlqA
https://youtu.be/CumMsXQFTr4?t=168I hate that this promo got lost in the empty-arena/fake crowd era

>>20887261Rey should have beat Brock in that match, I don't care what anyone says
THIS is the version of Kofi that I wouldn't have minded winning the WWE championshiphttps://youtu.be/0L4uLRqpj-k?t=124
>>20887261Mark Henry's promo after defeating Randy Orton for WHC proved he belonged in the main eventhttps://youtu.be/wb7OvwhdEIw?si=tC2PAKQE9s7NVDN0&t=123
>>20887261Pretty much any Bret Hart heel promo from 1997One of his best ones was his "this is BULLSHIT!" rant after he lost the cage match to Sid
>>20887261https://youtu.be/XjBmMeo3QiY?si=0YeLt7_csmyPMKPF
I know it got meme'd on here but Goldberg did a really good job with his 'Maybe' promo against Brock during his WWE return segment
The one time Shayna had a great promo was when she decided to speak straight facts to Ronda https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctB0RzspNtA
>>20892631Crazy that all this got Shayna was a dead end faction with a lesbian
>>20892424damnI always thought he had the potential to be a solid midcard act if he kept his dumb hick gimmick but then he debuted as generic indie wrestling guy #5412he's only 32 so there's still time
>>20888116it lead to him wrestling Okada @ ALL IN
>>20892360>his "this is BULLSHIT!" rantThat rant is underratedA lot of people think the Austin/Bret WM double-turn was the only turning point in itself, but I think the rant that came shortly before it happened was the real turning point for BretUp until then he was still largely seen as that bland top guy that represented the cartoony New Generation era. No one expected him to yell at the top of his lungs and start cussing like he did. That was a new Bret
>>20887261Just remembered this Orton & Bray Wyatt segment, thought it fit the thread since Orton isn't exactly well known for promo workhttps://youtu.be/Y5-xLHSw1d0?t=219
