Seriously considered not voting for this one, but ultimately went with Warrior. Not a fan of either of these guys on the mic though.

Lethal did a pretty good Macho Man as well.

Thats what I was thinking too, that was a very tricky character to pull off and he worked wonders. Never saw a good Warrior promo.

In my eyes Lethal isn't cutting a great promo because it's not his promo, he's just imitating it all be it very well.

Neither one of these two is good but I went with Lethal as there's not a single Warrior promo I ever liked.

Jay Lethal winning here? an imitiation is considered good promos here? Why not nominate Jason Sensation while we're at it.

Warriors promos were awesome, not good by any standards, but noone will ever forget him. Even if he a cokehead who hates homos and minorities.

His promos were terrible, he got over because of WWF booking around his weaknesses, because of guys like Dibiase, Rude and Honkey carrying him in ring and in segments and because he did have an eye catching look. None of that has anything to do with him on the mic. The reason Lethal is kicking his arse here is more to do with how bad the Warrior was more than Lethal being a great talker.

A rare case where you don't want to vote for either but I picked Lethal.

And yet, he will be a HOFer alongside all those guys who carried him. Talking was all he had, ironic I know.

He might not be actaully unless he can repair his relationship with the Mcmahons, which I don't see happening. His look was all he had imo.
