Vote for what we watch!
Added 2024-07-14 22:32:04 +0000 UTCThis weeks theme was 'Best Promos'.
I will watch at LEAST the top 4 that are voted for this week. (most likely more if shorter stuff is winning.)
You can vote for more than one! So vote for all the ones you'd like me to watch most.

The Toothless Aggression period was my bread and butter. I was into the older stuff because the Michael’s/Hogan feud was heating up just as I started watching regularly. Cultaholic’s 4-parter on the Golden Era also got me into it again. I think it would be good to do a few weeks that are either era or decade focused, I agree that majority vote is going to bias towards the ~2000 - 2015 stuff.

2024-07-20 23:56:47 +0000 UTCAnother factor could be that Dporticus is a new wrestling fan so he is more likely to have context for more recent stuff.
Adam Nelson
2024-07-20 13:11:52 +0000 UTCYeah. The majority of people on here are definitely in their 20s and 30s because of how much 2000s and 2010s wrestling has been suggested. Personally I prefer attitude era late 90s wrestling but in terms of promos there's nothing better than early 80s NWA Jim Crockett Promotions with Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, and Arn Anderson.

2024-07-19 18:26:08 +0000 UTCOh, that feels almost like yesterday 🙈😅 Yeah, I started watching in 1990/1991. The promos were something else back then. C*ca*n is a helluva drvg. 🤷🏼♀️😂

2024-07-19 09:10:32 +0000 UTCI'd say the majority of people voting started during the Ruthless Aggression Era. I started during the New Generation era in the mid 90s but I've seen all the old stuff from the 70s and 80s as well.
Chad
2024-07-17 09:22:24 +0000 UTCThe average age of voters must be quite low. The old-school stuff don't get many votes. I guess there's lots of people who only started watching around the attitude era or even later. Best promos was in the 80s and early 90s.
Jennifer Lindgren
2024-07-17 06:54:16 +0000 UTCYou can nominate one of them next time there's a promo week. Punk/MJF was on my shortlist, but I couldn't decide which one to nominate, so I picked Regal/MJF instead.
Adam Nelson
2024-07-16 21:44:17 +0000 UTC2 missing promos to be added here: CM Punk/Eddy Kingston, CM Punk/MJF (this one is a few promos)
Aditya
2024-07-16 18:42:34 +0000 UTCthe hard times promo is what put dusty rhodes on my top 5 favorite wrestlers list.
SayrenTV
2024-07-16 11:46:12 +0000 UTCYh these be short prob longest one is punks pipebomb most be under 5 to 10 mins
Ryan Evans
2024-07-16 10:34:20 +0000 UTCIm surprised douglas dropping the nwa title not had any votes its onebof the best promos ever
Ryan Evans
2024-07-16 10:30:59 +0000 UTCANYTHING but the Live Sex Celebration😭😭😭. Thank God my mom didn’t catch me watching that or I would’ve never been aloud to watch wrestling again 😂😂😂.
Jordan Alford
2024-07-16 03:44:57 +0000 UTCI was going to do that but I thought A: people wouldn’t vote for it and B: Josh will need to know a fair amount of context for it.
Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett
2024-07-15 19:49:50 +0000 UTCIt’s more of a segment than a promo though.
Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett
2024-07-15 19:48:55 +0000 UTCDidn’t even cross my mind. I wish I had chose that now.
Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett
2024-07-15 19:48:14 +0000 UTCEspecially when it’s a segment not a promo.
Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett
2024-07-15 19:47:54 +0000 UTCAh c’mon people vote for Ric Flair calls out Triple H! It’s the one from 2005. Was also going to choose Paul Heyman shooting on Vince in 2001 but it needs a lot of context. Also considered Mick Foley and Terry Funk from 2006 where Funk says some hilariously fucked up shit to Foley.

2024-07-15 18:41:56 +0000 UTCI guess your right. Although I am also still in my 30s :D
Markus Ruoff
2024-07-15 15:17:32 +0000 UTCI think it's a generational thing. Most Ric Flair fans are in their 50s and 60s and at the least in their 40s if they grew up watching late 90s wcw. Just look at how many votes Dusty Rhodes got. I think most people on here are in their 20s and 30s for the most part hence the huge amount 2000s and 2010s content and very little of the pre-21st century content.
Chad
2024-07-15 15:10:41 +0000 UTCIncredible how few votes Ric Flair gets in total. I guess I will just hope for a different result the next time "Promos" is the topic.
Markus Ruoff
2024-07-15 13:55:13 +0000 UTCLiterally most of these are 2-3 minutes with some of them from 5-8 minutes. Might be able to get more than one per day done.
Chad
2024-07-15 13:13:32 +0000 UTCWe need the Jay Lethal woo off, genuinely the funniest promo in the history of wrestling
Ahmed
2024-07-15 13:11:13 +0000 UTCDamn the Rock concert in sacramento. I should've suggested that one lol.
Chad
2024-07-15 13:07:06 +0000 UTC2011 CM Punk was a fucking menace, the Pipe bomb and contract signing are top tier!! I will say you're coming at the pipe bomb with current wwe mentality, so the things he says might not seem so shocking because the WWE you know is less PG now. But during that time in WWE there were so many rules in place of what can't be mentioned etc so it was so mind blowing at the time!
Michael Harrop
2024-07-15 12:14:45 +0000 UTCSteiner math should have more votes! I think someone forgot to add Kurt Angle to the mix
Wilson Simons
2024-07-15 11:40:00 +0000 UTCTwo people suggested the original Pipe Bomb, so maybe... If you want the full picture of this lore you can also watch this one right between the Pipe Bomb and Contract Negotiation. Punk explains here what happened after the Pipe Bomb promo. This short segment kicked off the same Monday Night Raw that contract negotiation took place on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSbNUGEJV6Q

2024-07-15 11:00:21 +0000 UTCYou can vote for more than one btw!
Dport
2024-07-15 03:20:16 +0000 UTCAny of the Rock Concerts, really.
Adam Nelson
2024-07-15 01:42:22 +0000 UTCIt's so difficult to pick, there are A LOT of must sees here. But, I had to go with Steiner Maths for the lols, because.....Maths > Pipebomb
Thomas Garner
2024-07-15 00:53:40 +0000 UTCThat was one on my list, but only being able to nominate one means it'll be a while before I get to it.
Adam Nelson
2024-07-15 00:30:26 +0000 UTCAint no way they suggested live sex celebration
Б. Өсөхбаяр
2024-07-15 00:26:18 +0000 UTCAssuming you already been told this but for the Miz promo. Daniel Bryan was retired at that time
Phillyman!!
2024-07-15 00:09:23 +0000 UTCAnd Shawn’s in Montreal
Phillyman!!
2024-07-15 00:07:37 +0000 UTCDamn Hollywood Rock Toronto promo is not here. His best promo ever
Tk Banks
2024-07-14 23:52:41 +0000 UTCThatd be convenient but terrible for cataloging.
Dport
2024-07-14 23:41:03 +0000 UTCYou could watch 4 or more promos in one video, it would probably be just as long as watching one whole wrestling match. It's a shame that the promo Punk cut after winning the ROH title didn't make the list.
Dagur Hall
2024-07-14 23:40:36 +0000 UTCI’m a little mad at myself for not suggesting the survivor series 2001 promo now that I see this comment it somehow completely slipped my mind until now
Drew Or Die
2024-07-14 23:33:37 +0000 UTCi understood the assignment
Dport
2024-07-14 23:32:21 +0000 UTCLike the pipebomb and the next weeks Vince promo are together 💯👍
Phillyman!!
2024-07-14 23:20:35 +0000 UTCI think I can recite 90% of that promo completely from memory.
Ryan Redd
2024-07-14 23:12:43 +0000 UTCThe One Night Stand one is one I’m surprised didn’t get suggested. Also, I think we’ll get probably a few more than the usual 4 suggestions because most of these promos are 10 mins or less.
Oscar Islas
2024-07-14 23:06:20 +0000 UTCIt's good, but this is the first Promos week, so it's competing against some iconic segments. I'm really surprised no Heyman promos got nominated. I had his one with Vince before Survivor Series 2001 and One Night Stand 2005 on my short list.
Adam Nelson
2024-07-14 23:03:36 +0000 UTCHonestly all of these deserve to be watched.
Abs Ali
2024-07-14 23:01:15 +0000 UTCGotcha 👍👍 didn’t think it was a promo lol
Phillyman!!
2024-07-14 22:58:44 +0000 UTCIt’s not looking great rn, but hoping the Becky Lynch bloody face moment gets more love and makes it top 5 at least🙏
Oscar Islas
2024-07-14 22:56:38 +0000 UTCdefinitely i understand your point once i read more into the segment and heard lita was forced it made me disgusted. but in hindsight when you throw away all the real life stuff it’s just a funny segment that makes you go “no way this happened” i just want it to win to see his reaction to it !
Dre Mercy
2024-07-14 22:55:50 +0000 UTCHe said this category was basically any non-wrestling segment.
Oscar Islas
2024-07-14 22:55:43 +0000 UTCWas the Becky bloody face a during a promo? lol 😂
Phillyman!!
2024-07-14 22:52:42 +0000 UTCThat’s actually one I actively hope doesn’t win tbh. It’s just always made me very uncomfortable with how Lita was basically forced to do it by Vince.
Oscar Islas
2024-07-14 22:49:59 +0000 UTCPIPEBOMB IS A MUST
Hamza
2024-07-14 22:44:35 +0000 UTCedge and lita live sex celebration HAS to win 😭😭

2024-07-14 22:39:57 +0000 UTCYou know they say all men are created equal
