I always like Edge's promos, so that's my choice. CM Punk has become very entertaining in his too though.

Sgt Hartman

It's Edge for me. Some of the stuff he comes out with has often had me in stitches:D

gimmick

Abyss? WTF?

Jericho by a country mile. He was always a great promo, but his mic work over the last 18 months has been better than anyone in the business today. He really makes you want to hate him with his sneery grin, mocking words, arrogant tones. No one is even close to him. Punk would be 2nd, but quite distant.

Chris Jericho. He's the best mic speaker in WWE at the moment, maybe a little bit under HHH and HBK but nonetheless he's brilliant on the mic. He get's the crowd riled up pretty nicely and his promos are great too.

so your saying he is the third best:D

Mr.Nice Guy

The Jericho of recent times bores me to tears I must say. Hate that whole character - and not in a good way.

Michaels hands down for me. The promo he cut on the Montreal crowd (2005 I think) is one of my favourite heel promos ever.

Diabhal Beag

Can I just be fair here. These options are terrible in all fairness. Shouldn't the wrestlers be at least current or still in wrestling (Larry Sweeney quit because of depression).

Jeff Jarrett has been gone from wrestling for a while too (heard he could be coming back though).

How can you put Abyss ahead of people like CM Punk BTW?

Well, I've taken the nominees from the rag that is PWI so that's why the nominations suck.

Honestlly, you completly right. I wish I could restart the whole thing instead of using PWI's *nominations*

Q4 is the final question in this.

I could listen to Chris Jericho all day long...even if he needs to freshen up his promos these days (he's been cutting the same style for about 18 months now)

CM Punk would be 2nd place for me this year. He's cut some amazing heel promos.

JP Liz

Jericho no contest

Yeah i know it came off as a contradiction. But what I mean is Jericho is the best promo cutter in WWE now. Jericho beats DX at the moment. But HHH and HBK I rate higher in terms of Mic Skills.

Still he one of my favourite wrestlers nonetheless.

Gone for Jericho, charismatic as a face, arsehole as a heel, all around awesome on the mic

Jericho by an absolute country mile for me. His mic work is always a cut above everyone. (Although, you could call me biased ).

Hilarious! Have you seen the Always Sunny wrestling episode (5-07)? Cricket plays a 'Daivari' character...it's just awesome

flahavaj

Punk by a good bit. Terrible list though.
