This one by far. Not really a promo but a segment. Was the beginning of one of the best heel turns and heel characters we, or I've ever seen.

This is what made me want to watch wrestling. I remember growing up hearing of Hulk Hogan, but never watching him, I knew who The Rock was, and Stone Cold, I was flipping threw the channels one night, and this is what I seen. I still think it's the greatest promo, because it just sets in stone that The Rock is the greatest WWE has ever had. Even today.

"Not as much as you... brother!"

One of my favourites too, especially since it ended in Rock going over Hogan at Wrestlemania 18. :p

Chris Jericho's WWF debut promo with The Rock....CLASSIC!

Definitely agree here. The Millenium Clock countdown for Jericho was surely something.

The below is 2007, so it's pretty new:
The newer Y2J's SAVE_US return was also very powerful, especially the 10 second countdown.

Jake Roberts was an underrated promo man imo. Definitely one of his best.

Agree with the last two Jake's promo's were excellent. He was a very believable crazy heel.

This ranks as one of my all time favorites. This is the definition of the Loose Cannon. And if this guy were to have been put in today's culture he would be THE CHAMP right now. Pillman was ahead of his time. Very gifted.

My favourite wrestler of all time is Rowdy Roddy Piper (CM Punk is a close second overall, favourite current wrestler).

Best promo ever made:
