Five of the Worst Wrestling Promos Ever

There's really nothing better than a classic wrestling promo. I mean, anybody that loves wrestling always remembers the great ones, whether they be some of Ric Flair's classic NWA spots, some of the great work that was done in ECW, or many of the classics from the Macho Man in the WWF.

Face it, being able to work the mic is one of the most important things about being a pro wrestler.

However, a close second to the great promo is the promo that goes horribly wrong. These things are great entertainment and have almost as much of a shelf life as anything else in the sport. (Yeah, a sport!) And what better way to start off your weekend than with a few laughs at some of the worst promos I've ever seen.

Some of them are guys that couldn't follow a script to save their lives, and some are the worst ad libs that you will ever find. But they are all great. And while these are probably not the five worst promos ever...they are five of the worst that always make me chuckle.

So enjoy as things are about to go horribly wrong.

McGillicutty Can't Remember Things Very Well

This is a classic example of a wrestler trying to remember a force fed line from management when he probably would have been better off just winging it. Thankfully he didn't though.

I think he wants us to realize that this is a moment.

The Patera Files

These probably aren't anywhere close to the worst Ken Patera interviews, but they really do go into great detail about why he was so bad.

I'm pretty sure the term stiff was invented for Patera. I especially like the awkward pause around the 1:40 mark when Patera isn't sure if he should start or not.

It's All Numbers

Muraco actually started out with a somewhat decent story about a guy finding a dog. Well, for him it was pretty good. But as soon as he takes a pause to breath, he quickly loses control.

He almost sounds like the Macho Man going on one of his rants when he begins talking about numbers, but he just can't quite pull off the crazy like Mr. Poffo could. Still, I thoroughly enjoy this one.

Tight Shirts

What do you get when you mix in the following:

Aging former superstar trying to hang on to his glory days.

Fourth rate promotion giving said superstar a few last days of glory.

A tight shirt, alliteration and an announcer that can't keep his composure.

The answer, of course, is a classically awful wrestling promo.

Yep!

The video speaks for itself. Yep!
