Raven for me, Foley is terrific, HHH very good.... Take the mic away from Trips, he still succeeds... to a lesser extent the same is true for Foley... without his mic work, Raven goes nowhere.

Crazy matchup but think Foley should win this one. Versatility is a important factor to me and he is the king of it.

Mick Foley by far is the most talented man with a microphone in pro-wrestling ever. He was complicated at times and would have layers to his promos, where as a Triple H and a Rave would cling to their characters, Foley didn't have to cling to a character, he embodied every character he was ever given and overachieved as a result. Even the character he loathed in Dude Love.

Foley EASILY, and that's not taking anything away from HHH or Raven, Foley's just that damn good.

We disagree about as often as we agree, but I could not have said it better myself.

Foley for me too. Both Raven and HHH have had spells of greatness on the mic, but Foley is a legend when it comes to promos. Foley VS. Heenan would be a dream final.

I had to go with Raven. His promos just always delivered and were compelling. Not taking away from Foley at all cause he was the goods. But Raven... just wow.

Mick Foley easily. Triple H honestly doesn't even compare with these other two guys imo

Frankly, I like Raven a lot, but Foley just had way more diversity. He was much more believable. Although Raven was very dark, he was a little too far-fetched a lot of times, and I'm not talking about his character. Just that it often seemed like he put a little too much thought into his promos and sounded overly scripted frequently. I found Foley to be much more natural.
