Alright folks we haven’t had a good game thread on here since the Better Wrestler series was discontinued (thanks a lot Destor). So what we’re gonna do here is every week we’re going to have a wrestling specific category and I’m going to ask for your top 10 names for that category. You’ll give me your Top Ten nominations unranked and in no particular order. We’ll compile the lists and come up with “TPWW’S TOP TEN” for the week. One nomination equals one point. Top Ten nominees win.
Our inaugural question: Who are the Top Ten Talkers in wrestling history? ![]() |

Chris Jericho
Ric Flair Dusty Rhodes Mick Foley Steve Austin The Rock Hulk Hogan Bobby Heenan Shawn Michaels Paul Heyman I did a quick dive of the mind and that's who I've come up with. I left off a few like Savage, Funk and Jake just because I have preferences for others. |

That list is mostly shit, but I may give Miz some credit. The Miz actually has been incredible on the mic. It's hard to deny that. Punk was ok. Jericho was ok. Angle was great but tbh, I would actually put Miz over them. He's actually been consistently great in a era that is consistently terrible. LOL

Interesting to see Randy Savage on here so much. I've never thought of Randy as a "promo" guy.

I'm surprised only Vito and I picked Roberts. I figured he'd be a shoe in for everyone's lists.

My list is in alphabetical order but Savage was my 10th one on and I was considering like 5 other guys in that spot. Tough call.

Randy Savage on promos is just a slightly more coherent Ultimate Warrior

I included both Savage and Warrior on my list because... I can actually remember them. Others might be better talkers like Jake and Piper, but... overall I don't really remember what they have said... 1

Same energy but far greater content and delivery. There’s a promo Macho Man does where he says he has a new pair of pink boots on and he’s going to kick out somebody’s Cadillac window. Great shit man. |

Rowdy Roddy Piper is so overrated it’s not even remotely understandable to me.
I really don’t get the love. |

Jake was great for sure but his best promos are all similar, even if they are great the lack of diversity keeps him off my list.
Piper said something that confused me as kid so much that it still plagues my mind to this day. "AND IM A LESBIAN". was Piper confused? I am. Vince probably should have made my list but it's okay to leave him off, he has delivered a lot of bad segments in his time. Macho and Warrior are in a similar position for me, awesome but incoherent. Jericho is a shoe in, he constantly gets better and is still topping himself in AEW. His face turn promo earlier this year had me marking out like it was 98. |
