-TJ- In my mind, I good promo consists of everything you mentioned. It's best to describe how the crowd reacts to a superstar's statements and it's especially important that your character is in-character when he speaks. You can have a superstar in character by having him use his catch phrases and saying things he would normally say. It's tough to explain so here's an example a Triple H/John Cena segment on Raw post-WrestleMania 24:
Interviewer: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome The Game Triple H!
Triple H enters the interview area dressed in street clothes with a very serious expression on his face to cheers from the crowd.
Interviewer: Triple H, last night at WrestleMania 24 you were on the verge of becoming a twelve time champion but a punt kick to the head courtesy of Randy Orton abruptly stopped that from happening.
Triple H: You know last night at WrestleMania I thought that I had the match won. I pedigreed John Cena's ass in the middle of the ring and was this close to not only becoming a twelve time champion but also redeeming something that's been burning me up inside for two years but then Randy Orton came out of nowhere with a punt kick to the side of my face. You see Randy Orton took advantage of the situation at hand and to be honest I don't blame him. I mean it's not like he could beat John Cena cleanly but anyway the fact of the matter is this. I wasn't the one pinned at WrestleMania, John Cena was and that's why I'm demanding that I receive a rematch for the WWE Championship at Backlash and when I do face Orton for the WWE Championship I will be leaving the twelve time champion and Orton will be forced to bow down to the King of Kings.
Triple H walks off with a focused expression as we go to a commercial break.
---That's an example of how a promo should be done. Hope this helped you out a bit, dude.
Well you see, that where it gets me. People are always saying that my promos aren't in character. Based on WWE and TNA. See where I'm going? Character changes with a different company. Like for example......... let's say Edge is a major heel in WWE, he goes to TNA and becomes a major face with funny things to say. My question is........
How can I make my loyal veiwers understand the character change?
