EL DANDY~! 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2002 OK. Credit where credit is due: It was in 97, before Fall Brawl: War Games. Mean Gene was interviewing Arn Anderson. I remember the way Arn talked. Somebody had that in their signature. Arn Anderson's promo on the nWo was one of the greatest promos I have ever witnessed. Heyman coming out and telling Vince where to shove it on SmackDown! Unbelievable. I was absolutely GLUED to that television set when he said those things. And when he mentioned the taboo subject of stealing ECW's ideas...I was marking like crazy. Jake Roberts: Any promo he made before he faded away was absolutely mind-boggingly awesome, as just his sheer PRESENCE on your TV screen gave you chills whether he was good or bad. In ECW, Steve Austin cut his first promo after his fluke loss to Mikey. I have seen that promo many times, and Austin just lays it all out, and I love each part of it. In 1998, when Flair returned in Greensboro, I was flat out amazed at this man. I was smiling and just in awe of him. One of the greatest promos ever witnessed. The fact that it was him, with the Horsemen standing around him, the pinnacle of excellence...I will never see such an awesome thing again. But for me...the promo that takes the cake for me is Paul Heyman, July 9, 2001, when after all the former ECW-mates of the WWF and WCW attacked and layed out Kane and Jericho, he took an InVasion to the level it should have been, but instead, Vince saw it as just a stupid stupid way of adding a little zest to the whole thing. Heyman could have done all he could, but in the end, it was Vince and his stupid McMahon only plot that ruined what could have been the greatest ever. I saw that as hope...that one day, somebody will come out and stand up to Vince, and let him know that sometimes, it's not always Vince McMahon's way that leads you to the promised land.

That was one of, if not my favorite Raw segment EVER!!! The only footage I have of it is on the WWF Action video, which is all touched up 'WWE Style'. Man, a three-way power struggle would've drew a ton more than what ended up happening. Of course, The Undertaker didn't help matters either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
