thoughts: Hulk Hogan and John Cena are too high on this list IMO. Paul Heyman, Santino and Edge are too low. I thought it should have been a 2 way tie for first with Steve Austin and Roddy Piper sharing it.

[Sir Chris Cairns]

Glad to see Bobby Heenan ranked as the highest non-wrestler.

[Rob]

Flair is too high as well. Half the time, I have no idea what the fuck he's saying. Jesse Ventura is way too low. He was an excellent colour commentator as well.

[Kolic]

This may be personal bias as a fan, but where's HBK on the list? I thought his longer career of mic work would get him a spot over relative newcomers like Miz and Santino.

[Rico]

I've never heard Billy Graham on the mic, and Captain Lou, was also very incoherent

[Rob]

I thought of HBK too. That said, he was no Jake Roberts or Y2J

[Nathan "T-Rex" Williams]

Ric Flairs old stuff was great, especially around the time of the original Four Horsemen in the NWA. Back then no one could hold a candle to him on the mic. But I agree that Hulk Hogan and John Cena are ranked too high while people like Edge and Paul Heyman are way to low. Also, where is HBK? He was great on the microphone!

[Head Booker]

1...Flair
2...Rock


"that is all" Tate

[Rico]

I disagree Tate lol

1-Piper/Jake Roberts/Stone Cold
2-Rock

[Icon Lord Jon Kellar]

Aside from the formation of the NWO I can't name a single standout Hulk Hogan promo.... then again my memory is rubbish.

For me Paul Heyman is no.1 while Rock is a close second.
