Which wrestler has the greatest comedic presence?
 
So last night on Raw there were two great promos that had me chuckling. Edge getting in a fight with a computer and Jericho going back to his "Man of 1004 holds" gimmick and listing all of the people he has defeated. So it got me wondering who is the wrestler with the best sense of humor? Who can cut the best promos and make the audience crack up at the same time? Edge and Jericho definitely fit in there. Cena can be pretty funny at times, excluding the Poopy jokes. And the list goes on.

Also post some of their funniest promos.

Rock was probably the greatest at this.

Triple Naitch 09-28-2010 12:30 PM

Rock is the best, there is no doubt. I should have included a "Besides The Rock" disclaimer.

GD 09-28-2010 12:42 PM

Ric Flair :lol:

jskinnyg 09-28-2010 01:30 PM

For me it's a toss up between all these guys if we are going strictly on comedic performances... In any order...

The Rock
Jericho
Angle
Austin
Edge & Christian
And honorable mention goes to... SANTINO!

John Cena can be amusing from time to time, especially during his rapper years.

Big Show was also funny as hell when he wanted to be.

Hurricane Helms was another awesome comedy schtick.

Eddie Guerrero

Majunior 09-28-2010 02:06 PM

Never liked the Rock. His shit got stale, quick, and it became the same few funny lines over and over and over and over and over again. It was funny the first couple dozen times we heard it.

Jericho certainly.
Angle and Austin.
Santino.

Snowden 09-28-2010 02:13 PM

Santino pre-Santina days was really comedy gold, but he's really been kinda stuck after that.

Jericho and Edge are fantastic, and even moreso because they can change gears really quickly.

Christian (with or without Edge) is also fantastic, as well as Kurt Angle.

The Naitch 09-28-2010 02:20 PM

Right now: Santino

In the past: The Rock, Booker T & Goldust

Joe Kerr 09-28-2010 02:24 PM

Hurricane and S.H.I.T. stuff was hillarous along with E & C's numerous promos (HHH you were so totaly born this day) During invasion, other than the "What" crap austin was pretty funny, D-X was hillarous as well.

Schlomey 09-28-2010 02:29 PM

Big Show has had some great moments as well.

SuperSlim 09-28-2010 02:37 PM

The Rock/Hurricane segments were the best.

Jordan 09-28-2010 03:02 PM

Colt Cabana for the win

CWK 09-28-2010 03:11 PM

I can't believe that no one is mentioning Jerry "The King" Lawler.

He was comedic gold in the 1990's when he wrestled in WWE. Him harassing and making fun of Stu & Helen Hart in the stands on RAW while Bret was in the ring getting his ass kicked was some of the funniest shit I ever saw.

Triple Naitch 09-28-2010 03:50 PM

No love for Foley either?

Cool King 09-28-2010 03:58 PM

William Regal.

Triple Naitch 09-28-2010 04:18 PM

Regal may be one of the best comedic straight men in wrestling history.

Rollermacka 09-28-2010 04:38 PM

I'm suprised nobody said Jay Lethal yet. His Macho Man impersonation was good and his Ric Flair was dead on.

Schlomey 09-28-2010 05:41 PM

I do love me some William Regal. Sadly he is now stuck living the comedy instead of simply being placed in comedy situations. It sucks.

RiX1024 09-28-2010 06:10 PM

The Rock
William Regal
Santino Marella
Kurt Angle
Mick Foley

Gertner 09-28-2010 06:30 PM

Colt Cabana doesn't count because he's in the indies and thus doesn't matter. It's like hitting the most home runs in AAA.

Today, probably Santino. William Regal is highly under-rated. That trading places segment with Goldust was awesome.

Pretty epic IMO

Domino 09-28-2010 06:45 PM

Gotta be Rocky.

Jeritron 09-28-2010 07:10 PM

Chris Jericho is far funnier than The Rock, both in character and out of it, in my opinion. I think The Rock appeals more to the average wrestling fan's sense of humor though.

Nicky Fives 09-28-2010 07:50 PM

IMO, it's a no contest..... The Rock

This.

CM Punk and Edge are funny as hell too.

Calamondin 09-28-2010 07:58 PM

I'm not a TNA watcher, so I had never seen this clip before. However, I've seen alot of wrestling impressions in my day. And that may be the greatest I've ever seen.

XCaliber 09-28-2010 08:00 PM

"The Rock Concerts" have to be some of the best along with his segments with Hurricane.

Calamondin 09-28-2010 08:11 PM

Austin wasn't funny a lot of the time, but he still had great comedic presence. His shot at Hogan during Bret Hart's HOF introduction, some of his skits as heel Austin and his interactions with Angle during that time were gold. Also, Kurt freakin' Angle.
