WHAT'S THE BEST LINE YOU EVER HEARD IN A WRESTLING PROMO?

Wrestling promos often feature a wrestler shooting off at the mouth. Pro wrestlers might be known for their elite athleticism, but they also know how to provoke emotion when the mic is on. Promos are a big part of what make wrestling as popular as it is, and rank among the main reasons why so many fans, young and old, tune in from all over the globe. Here, we're going to look at our top five wrestling promos of all time, with the best lines to boot. While not all of these are designed to promote an event, wrestlers like nothing more than a bit of self-promotion when shooting their mouth off in the ring.

These promos are popular simply because fans enjoy nothing more than seeing the big stars of WWE go at it. They aren't afraid of putting their money where their mouth is either when it comes to big upcoming events like Wrestlemania. These fans often enjoy trying to win some cash in other ways too, such as playing the latest wrestling slot at online casinos. Of course, in this case, it's always nice to get a new player bonus, like those you can find at sites like toppcasinobonus.com. But let's back to those big promos with big wrestlers and their big mouths, as we delve into some of the best wrestling promos and lines ever.

The Rock Takes Aim at Billy Gunn

The Rock was a mammoth on the mic. When you think about it, it was always likely, as he is now a pretty fine actor and a huge Hollywod star. The Rock humiliated Billy Gunn in a stunning Sunday Night Heat promo in 1999. The promo targeted Gunn after he won the King of the Ring and begin his push for the world title.

Best Line: “You’ve got a three-foot nose. You stick it sideways and stick it straight up Vince’s ass”.

Ric Flair’s 1992 Royal Rumble Promo

There isn’t anyone who can top Ric Flair when it comes to trash talk. This stunning promo was in the aftermath of his 1992 Royal Rumble Win. He wrestled for more than an hour and ensured his peers ”paid homage to the man”. Many fans have said that this was Flair’s greatest-ever promo.

Best Line: “When you are king of the WWF, you rule the world”.

Randy Savage Post-WrestleMania III

Randy Savage’s delivery style was so unique, it made him one of the best on the mic. After he took on Ricky Steamboat at WrestleMania III, the Macho Man turned to coffee creamers to demonstrate just how valuable he was to the WWF. This post-Wrestlemania III promo remains a classic.

Best Quote: “The cream will rise to the top”.

Chris Jericho’s Debut

Jericho wasn’t a top performer when he was with the WCW. When he joined the WWF, however, this wrestler and entertainer became a star. The walls were broken down when he made his RAW debut in 1999. He interrupted none other than the Rock, with his promo putting him firmly in the spotlight.

Best Quote: “I am the new millennium for the new World Wrestling Federation”.

Hulk Hogan

In 1996, no one predicted that Hulk Hogan would join the New World Order. As the Hulkster was wrestling’s baby face for such a long time, this was an incredibly shocking storyline.

Shortly after this promo, the formerly popular Hogan actually became the most hated star in wrestling. In fact, the promo even led to the Monday Night Wars when WWF and WCW went head-to-head in a network television battle.

Best Quote: “The first thing you need to do is to tell these people to shut up”.
