Miz is a tremendous promo, and has been for a long time. The problem, I think, is that when he's up against guys that are in that upper tier of mic workers, it shows, and it shows badly. It's like that MizTV segment with him and Enzo; Enzo's not bad on the mic, but Miz eviscerated him! And it's the same way when you put Miz up against someone like Cena or Punk, Miz just can't hang, and it shows in a way that's actually worse than it would if it was Cena or Miz up against someone who's not as good on the mic.

He made you want to stop what you were doing and just watch/listen to him.

Agreed, after Mania 13 when he destroyed Bret on the mic...Shawn has actually been very consistent. Commissioner, DX, returning against HHH. Even if the DX revival was not that great, when they got serious ie: RatedRKO, Shawn's promos stayed at that level.

To be fair, HBK is so good at everything to do w/ wrestling in the ring that ppl forget the mic skills were also elite. As a young heel or old face in particular.

This. That Montreal heel promo is still one of the best heel promo of all time, and in many other occasion he showed that he was one of the best also with the mic

Can we get WCPW manager PLUMPY on this list?His promos with Eric Bishoff(his dad), Big Damo and others were brilliant.

Eddie Kingston made his career with THAT promo on Cody. I'm so glad to see him finally getting the recognition he deserves. His back and forth with Steen back in the Chikara vs ROH feud was amazing.

good video

Triple H & JBL are HUGE honorable mentions

Two guys who went on 20 minute monologues far too often at the height of their careers to make this list.

@@Cableguy15 not so much jbl, but the talent was still there. No way Jake & Becky Lynch were better than those 2

Owens learned English just from WRESTLING imagine that!!!

I just want you to know that I'm already subscribed to your channel because I love your dry humor Adam. Cheers mate 👍😎

think mjf and sami zayn should also be on the list

Honorable mention for me: Jimmy Jacobs in ROH after turning heel during the Jimmy loves Lacey saga. Jimmy, despite developing into a total psycho heel over the years, was able to convince you that HE was the victim in all of this and the hero who has to win at the end, because HE himself was convinced he was.

That Jake Roberts line lives rent free in my head now. It's just so perfect.

The top 5 imo 1. Cm punk 2. Stone cold Steve Austin 3. Paul Heyman 4. John cena 5. The rock

@@willmk4042 Cena had a terrible character for most of his run , so he didn't get the opportunity to really shine . He was booked so badly , even with his amazing skills he couldn't get over with the hardcore fans to save his life . Cena could save the world from an alien invasion and he'd still get booed by everyone over the age of 12

Also triple h is pretty underrated as a talker especially his promos on Batista

Could have doubled that list easily. Great list as always.

Imagine if Eddie Kingston had the raw insanity of New Jack... I would piss myself in fear.

Chris Jherico is a yakuza character that escaped the game

Feel like The Miz should have been somewhere on this list. Say what you will about his wrestling style but he’s always been money on the mic.

Honorable Mention: Jim Cornette. Love him or hate him he was a damn good promo.

I'm not going to deny that I'm a Cena so I'm probably biased but despite the crowds hating him he still brought it to The Rock during their 'Once in a lifetime ' build. He deserves to be in the top 5.

Hard to disagree with this list - its on point. Thanks Adam!

I think Edge deserves an honorable mention. The raw intensity present in his promos, the look in his eyes, the way he tells the story makes you feel like you are a part of it. Look to his promos leading to Wrestlemania this year and you’ll see what I mean

His promo on Cena about I hate you, God I thought to kill that guy when that happened but now when I look back he just spitted fire on mic against Cena even against Taker too.

Not to mention he’s also insanely funny and naturally charismatic. He just knows how to draw people in. Someone who can do intense, funny, reality blurring promos really does deserve a shoutout. Edge makes you feel like wrestling is real and with the heavily scripted bs we get from WWE, that is an accomplishment.

Paul Heymans promo about Vince in 2001 is still one of the best I’ve ever seen

Not saying they belong on the list, but lowkey speakers I adore that no one talks about too much is The New Day. They feel natural, campy, and like you really are just talking with the boys. Kinda underrated!

Seeing this for the first time, it's a super solid list. If I were to grumble about anyone being missing, it would be imho one of the most underrated managers of all time, Father James Mitchell. 😈🤘

U forgot about the Miz

i'd personallly give an honorable mention to ec3, easily one of the best talkers of the modern era

Man that Arm Anderson promo reintroducing Ric Flair is goosebump-inducing.

9:36 I can't get over how amazing this description of Ric Flair's promo style is. "Like a man with sunstroke chasing kids off his lawn" and "he's just so _there_ so _right there_ " is just the perfect way to describe how he talks.

Personal favourite talkers in wrestling (that aren't on this list) include: Cameron Grimes, The Miz, Triple H, heel Roman Reigns, Jon Moxley and MJF. Kenny Omega gets an honourable mention as well, there's something about his goofyness that I like

Honorable mentions: Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns

during his retirement edge came back and told john cena to wake up and beat the crap out of brock lesner. edge turned the entire crowd from hating cena to demanding he destroy lesner. that was A+ level mic work

The way adam eloquently describes every entry is just class

I think when it’s all said and done, this list will be updated to include MJF, Jon Moxley, The Miz, Nick Aldis, Kenny Omega, Scorpio Sky and Adam Cole. Also surprised Steve Corino isn’t on this list.
