Very few have cut a better baby face promo than the hard times one, just look at his tone and interaction with the camera. He makes you feel it.

I meant still. When he cuts a promo now I cringe personally.

Isn't that more the fault of him using the same way of cutting promos that was relevant/worked in his time?

I'd say the way of cutting a successful promo changes with the generations. Just my two cents on that.

I don't critique his style or delivery, he just can not cut a good promo any more imo. It might just be me, but I cringe.

Most people our generation most likely have a hard time sitting through a promo by someone from Dusty's era. Dusty is such a off again on again on screen character that he never takes the time to get with the times. Hogan and Sting can still cut somewhat gripping promos for people our generation since they have stayed big names and in the picture, allowing them to adapt with the game so to speak.

Piper on his day is still one of the best in the world as well.

I think this is the problem, in the 80s you could rock a typical babyface ultimate good guy promo and it would work out, who can cut a typical face promo and a smark would enjoy it? Very few. It's one of the reasons Hogan is so underated on the mic, he altered his delivery through the times.

I am actually optimistic about this :
