The writing just isn't as good these days as it was.
I remember Macho Man vs Ultimate Warrior for Summerslam 92 i think. Ric Flair and Mr perfect claimed one of the participants had bought him to be the difference maker. The story ran for like 2 months and was put together really well and had each wrestler accusing the other.
It was genius. And you dont get that anymore.
as far as promos go
WWE has Carlito, Randy Orton, Edge & Ken Kennedy who IMO are great at promos
TNA has Christian, Rhino, James Gang, Christopher Daniels, Sting, Jeff Jarrett, Monty Brown. I just think they have more. And people like AJ Styles who is shit on the mic. Make up for it.
I agree you work to your strengths but some are shit on the mic and shit in the ring . . . what do they offer? I mean i'm not even interested in Batista. He bores me on the mic and in the ring

Triple H has done the same promo for 6 years. . . thats not good its boring to me. Vince ok but he's not a wrestler.
King Booker is good and i forgot him
Reagl is aweful. He attracts heat but its cheap and not great by any length
Heyman is ECW thats different
Jesse . . haven't seen him
and as far as HBK goes . . well you know how i feel about him. Most overated ever in my book. Good but nothing more than that. Most TNA wrestlers could out promo him.
I forgot the dudleys and LAX from TNA too. No one does better promos than the dudleys

Seriously dude, do you really believe those 2 statements.? I mean yeah
Team 3D
have done some good promo's in their time but there have been plenty better, and there promo's haven't exactly evolved or changed over the years, they are a hell of a lot staler and more repetative than
Triple H
....and most
TNA
wrestlers could out promo
HBK
.....
....i can understand people not liking him, but failing to acknowledge his talent like that,
TNA
creative/manangement would be overjoyed beyond belief if their guys could out promo
HBK
, most of them aren't even in the same league...
William Regal
is a master on the mic.? Admittedly his
'All Hail King Booker'
stuff sucks but that's just the unimaginative creative for you, that is cheap heat, but in the past, when given good material he's been awesome....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T15cBVRyJig
Edit: Oh and Vince counts as a wrestler if you ask me, he's had a match at Wrestlemania, Backlash, Summerslam and has one scheduled for Unforgiven
Edit #2: In case you didn't read WWE's press release today, here are the updated PPV buy numbers:
Judgment Day: 231,000 (236,000 last year)
One Night Stand: 280,000 (268,000 last year)
Vengeance: 313,000 (320,000 last year)
The Great American Bash: 224,000 (233,000 last year)
GAB is cursed, if you ask me they should rename it King of the Ring and bring it back permanently, actually if you ask me it should be interbrand. Yeah so turn GAB into King of the Ring a RAW/Smackdown/ECW event, that does mean Smackdown loses a PPV so they're like one behind, so to balance up the numbers, switch it round with Judgment Day so it ain't next to Summerslam, you don't want interbrand PPVs back-to-back and give say Unforgiven to ECW and rename it, er, Anarchy Rulz

Maybe it's just for the duration of the DX thing, but Shawn looks way too uncomfortable on the mic these days, there's no conviction there at all. Triple H has the opposite problem, he has to pretty much carry every single promo they do, and as such it comes across as him trying way too hard.

Yeah the
D-X
thing isn't working, i think they need splitting, send one of them to
Smackdown
, it'll help
Smackdown
and be fresh for whichever one of them that goes there since they ain't been there before.?
HBK
feuding with the likes of
King Booker
,
Ken Kennedy
&
Finlay
would be really cool if you ask me (and not Gnrfan?
)
Edit: The new Motorhead CD that came out on Tuesday gave a thank you to the following wrestling personalities: Chris Jericho, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, Batista, Ric Flair, Randy Orton, Jim Johnston and Bret Hart. Yes, you read correctly, Bret Hart.

Maybe we just like different promos.
I like dark promos like the Dudleys and Raven and funny promos like the Rocks and also serious ones like Austin and undertakers but HBK always just seemed lippy. Don't get me wrong he can be funny at times but i just never thought oh good HBK is on the mic.
I have a friend who bums him and thats fair enough i just never thought he was that great . . . Guess i was a Bret fan
His promos are old style and just don't match up to that of people like Carlito and Edge

Raven
now there
IS
a great choice, he does some of the best of all time, very dark but very awesome, when you look at the masters of dark promo's he is up there with
Jake Roberts
&
Mick Foley
it's a real shame that his drug use over the years has caught up on him though, he looks a bloated mess, it's a real shame.

Yeah. But i'd still prefer to watch him than half the wwe roster.
I just think its close to being a big two again.
I mean how can you claim to be the No1 federation when in my mind they don't have the most entertaining Wrestler in AJ Styles.
