The promo thread
I decided to make a thread for you guys to put up your favourite promos,
I thought i'd start off with an up-and-coming-star as opposed to the ones we already know.
Check out this doozy from Dean Ambrose

I think this shows what Foley can bring to the table.

Re: The promo thread
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OS9wZGb_3g&feature=results_video from 30 secs in......i know i have posted this before its the punk promo that surprised everyone at the end of raw. here are some comments from superstars about it
Zack Ryder: "I remember I was watching the backstage monitor and I was like, 'Wait a minute. Is this live on TV?' He was just saying these things about the company that seemed pretty unbelievable. They even cut the mic out from under him. You knew it was one of those moments that created controversy, and people were tuning in the next week to see what would happen. I definitely approved and agreed with what he was saying. I was saying similar things on my YouTube show, so when a Superstar like Punk voiced his opinion, maybe it made people realize a change was necessary."
"Road Dogg" Jesse James: "I think it caused a revolution, to be quite honest with you. I think people who know the inside track, they always want to hear somebody who drops that on national TV. I think that's what brought CM Punk to the forefront, and now his popularity has just grown ever since. It's fun to see him on all our live events and just how popular he is. He never ceases to amaze me. It takes charisma, it takes personality, and Punk has loads of both."
Kaitlyn: "I was watching it on TV since it was a travel day. When it happened, I was so shocked. I think I actually tweeted about it, like I was so curious about what was going down and what kind of impact it would have. I think his words kind of shifted things. In the WWE fans' eyes, watching that, it sparked a rebellion in a way and it kind of gave Punk this awesome chance to create himself in any way that he wanted. He totally reinvented himself. It was something that people could really rally around. He related to the WWE Universe and it felt so surreal."
Ezekiel Jackson: "He stated that his WWE contract was coming to an end, and you don't know what to expect from somebody who's about to either quit or do whatever they want to do. He had absolutely nothing to lose. He could have said anything he wanted, and in a way, he did. It was so different. He stepped up to be a natural leader of the WWE locker room. You know that he was trying to make it known that he was representing us. You've seen things going in the direction that he wanted it to. One of the points he touched on was a smaller guy like him wasn't supposed to ever be WWE Champion, but then you've got him and Daniel Bryan [as a former World Heavyweight Champion] – smaller Superstars who became champions, who are getting their opportunities, and they're delivering."
Justin Gabriel: "I was a huge fan of Punk before, and I think that day made me an even bigger fan. Just the way he walks and talks is so different. Everything he says, you want to believe him. For the guys in the WWE locker room, he definitely hit the right notes, but he obviously ruffled a lot of feathers. But that's cool. That's what we need. I think that's what we needed at the time and we need more of that going forward, too."

I love this promo, this was the moment I knew for certain that Slater was going to become a top star. As everyone knows, I had a feeling he would beforehand, but once I saw this - I've been 100% sure ever since.

When did he become such a boring guy
This shows how good Randy Orton should have been:

Re: The promo thread
The problem with the Punk promo is that despite its obvious quality, it's let down by the aftermath. Austin's 3:16 promo is seen as so good not just for the promo but what followed and his rise. If the trigger had been REALLY pulled for Punk then that promo would be seen as even more amazing.

Re: The promo thread
Agree with you there Crimey. It's as was mentioned yesterday some of the most memorable matches are memorable not because they were great in themselves but the impact that they had on the history of wrestling.
What has happened since that Punk promo not a lot he seems to sit on his haunches and just look smug now.
I'm not saying that the Orton promo I listed had lasting impact on it's own but it was part of his character which did have a legacy and formed something that was more than a one off.
Another for the list though this was for me a massive promo although I didn't realise at the time.

Seeing DDP on Raw last night reminded me of this classic:
