    Montreal.... Who's your Daddy?!?! Amazing. But Steiner is insane also, who remembers his first night back at Survivor Series in MSG "Gimme a fukn mic!!!" I'll go Poppa Pump for all the wrong reasons.

    Michaels for me. Michaels never really lost it while Steiner on some nights couldnt talk his way out of a paper bag.

    Michaels.

    Steiner getting mic time used to be one of my favourite parts of Impact a few years back, but as others have said it was for all the wrong reasons. An incoherent, rambling, shouting mess.

    HBK by light years , He's just so natural on the mic where as Steiner as many have alluded to was just plain mental almost like a modern day Ultimate Warrior

    Big poppa pump for me, he's the more unique of the two. I reckon he has about a hundred and forty one and two thirds chance of winning this. The numbers don't lie!

    HBK by some distance. Fantastic and believable through his entire career.

    Steiner was a "catchphase" promo kinda of guy and his catchphrases were pretty crap tbh.

    An aside-This going to be fantastic. Did a few of these and this one is a doozy. There is always somewhat of enivitabily to who the last few are going to be in the finals. This one has about 12/13 that would be deserving winners.

    Steiner, you just never knew what gems he was going to come up with, and it always felt like he really meant it rather than being just a rehearsed promo.
    Now holla if ya hear me.

    Michaels. As much as Steiner entertained, Michaels was consistently great throughout his career regardless the angle

    Steiner is the first to six and scores a pretty big upset win here. Moving on...

    Round One, Match Three:

    Kevin Owens:

    Promo Owens Promo?





    vs

    Triple H:

    Under rated on the mic, but did he deserve all those 20 min promos? You decide.

    Ooh - a toughie!

    I love Kevin Owen's promo style. Never gets excited. Talks trash, but does exactly what he says he'll do. BUT - we have only seen him as a heel so far. What's his face promo style gonna be like?

    Soaaah, I have to pickaaah, THE GAMEAAAH.

    Hunter is an awesome promo, face or heel. Great fire, great delivery, and nothing phases him. When he's a face, or when he's a heel, he appears totally at home on the mic. He can sell a match of feud well. He can make you believe he is going to kick your ass.

    I like Owens a lot but Hunters promos with Cm Punk were so real. He does great promos and gets my vote.

    I'm also going to go with HHH, as said above he is completely at home on the mic, he could (and did) talk for hours. He was always great to listen to the week after a setback, especially around the Evolution time . I am going to hold his overlong promos against him in the later rounds but for now he gets my vote.

    HHH for the win brother. Some of his promos during his main event heel run were the best I've ever seen. Really made you hate him.

    Yip has to be Hunter. Very impressed by Owens since his arrival in WWE. But Hunter has had so many fantastic feuds, angles and promo over the years. For every boring rambling promo you had a gripping promo with intensity never seen before.

    Maybe the mods could change the name of the thread invite voters in

    Definitely HHH. I like Owens promos, his "fcuk New York" promo a few years ago was fantastic but Hunter gets this one.

    A whitewash for the Game, his body of work and longevity a big factor here I think.

    Round One, Match Four:

    Terry Funk:

    One of the best on the mic ever imo, he was years and years ahead of his time:





    vs

    Booker T:

    Five time...five time....OH MY GOODNESS!

    Thank God I thought I'd missed the chance a vote for Steiner and was afraid he wouldn't make it through!


    Terry Funk will always get my vote unless it's against someone like Rock or Foley, he is just a brilliant brilliant talker

    I'm a big Booker fan but somehow or another I'm not familiar with funk, so I'll have to abstain

    Oh yeah and I've watched them all (thanks!), but I still don't think it fair to compare to someone I know so well like Booker! I'd say Funk is the only guy I knew nothing about though

    Terry Funk. Could be emotional, could be cerebral and could be crazy. Savage range and timeless over many eras.
