Opening match promos that are awesome

I feel the promos that plays before a match are of vital importance to the match.......summing up the fued with one song can push the match on a notch or two by riling up the fans that bit more.

This for me stands out as one of the best done

My way for WM17 was unreal to.....part when austin and rock start punching the heads of each other and the drums kick in is epic

My favourite one is the promo for Invasion in 2001, just before the main event.

That makes me sad because of how badly that whole angle got screwed up.

I fair love the ufc intro it makes even the naffest fights seem so exciting. WWE are in a league of their own in terms of these in wrestling, remember the hbk vs taker one think it was on a raw about 18 months ago

Loved the piece of music used at the start of the Wrestlemania 26 promo too.

The promo track for HBK Vs HHH in Summerslam 2002 was immense - some Saliva track, Always I think?

I think My Way will always win this particular conversation though.

Any late 80s/early 90s intro where Vince McMahon bursts a blood vessel and/or has a mean saxophone solo.

I love how Nash says absolutely nothing in the whole promo:

Great for a mid-card promo:

and this, is imho, one of the best promo videos ever, it tells such a brilliant story and the genuine heat behind the comments and real news footage just adds to it

That bit in the promo where they show Hogan with tears in his eyes, it reminds me of the best crowd reaction I think I ever heard him get. After almost 10 mins, they were still chanting his name before he could deliver his promo, lol!
