Let us begin compiling the greatest promos of all-time.
I'll begin with one by Ric Flair that I completely forgot ever existed until coming across it tonight. Of all the great promos Flair has cut over the years, I've got to imagine this is one of the best. (Skip to 1:40 for Flair)

That Flair promo is pretty great. I'm technologically challenged at the moment but one of my favorite promos is the "Hard Times" promo by Dusty. Just amazing stuff.

In all deference to my fine colleague J.H. this is ALSO how you cut a fucking promo and I would also like it submitted likewise as an entry into THIS is pro wrestling, motherfuckers, because cutting a promo in a hotel room with your daughter and some hired muscle is pro wrestling as nine flavors of hell:

Jump to 2:47 for my favourite promo of all-time
Dusty Rhodes returns to offer to be his son's partner after Dustin's previous choice for a partner, Arn Anderson, turned on him and joined the Studd Stable.
"Arn Anderson, my son offered up his innocence and you repaid him in scorn!"
"Arn Anderson has never been anything but a walk-behinder and when you walk behind and you're not a leader then the view never changes, baby! The view never changes, baby! The view never changes!"
It's the stuff dreams (lol) are made of. You could seriously build an entire film around this promo.

TOTALLY ADORIN' Shay DORON!

There's something about old man Terry Funk getting all emotional and sage-like that really gets to me.
I'm a massive fan of Shane Douglas' promos but I know a lot of people don't like them. I'd put his ECW promos until he left the 2nd time up against almost anything as far as me enjoying it goes. It's too bad when he left the 2nd time he also lost 75% of his vocabulary and resorted to every other word being profanity.

Well fuck this place. It took 144 characters or less to kill all the buzz we'd built up in this thread. "We take pro wrestling seriously" sounds like code for Davey Richards vs. Davey Richards in a Davey Richards on a pole match. Inside a Steel Davey Richards.

I plan to build a Presidential Campaign mostly around Dusty Rhodes Promos.
Skip to 5:10 for an awesome Kevin Sullivan Promo. It took me an hour to find it on youtube, but it's totally worth it.
