Mr Mojo Rising Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 The Scottish/Irish/American/whatever the mixture it is. Is accent sounds like a perfectly normal affluent Ayshire/Newton Mearns accent. It just isn't very intimidating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiDB Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 You mean his Scottish accent? I must be hearing things then, it starts off Scottish and then changes as he keeps talking. Maybe he's trying to tone his accent down a bit at times. As I said, it's the first time I've watched in months and I think it's the first time I've heard him speak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does change the way he says things to "proper English", probably because his accent is too thick for the Americans, but I haven't noticed it being anything other than Scottish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris Boyd Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) theres no one better on a mic than flair, awesome! I also love when he starts talking then out of nowhere turns to someone in the crowd and shouts SHADUP!! Victory Road: (line up in no particular order) RVD vs Abyss vs Hardy vs Anderson TNA championship Bubba vs D'von vs Jesse Hernandez vs Morgan, steel cage Madisson rain vs Angelina love, womans title MCMG vs Beer Money pope vs Angle Ric Flair vs jay leathal Kendrick vs Williams X-div Title Kaz and Styles vs 2 mystery opponents It should be a good one and at last another PPV on the road, I'm looking forward to it, hopefully Hogan will stay in the back and shut up and not get involved in matches Edited July 9, 2010 by Kris Boyd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 The Rock is, far and away, the best mic worker that wrestling has ever seen. There's loads in the tier below him, and Ric Flair is in there. I wouldn't say he was any better even in his day than the likes of Arn Anderson, Dusty Rhodes and Jake Roberts though. It's a shame that Jake Roberts never got further than he did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I can't agree with that, although I can't believe I didn't include him in that second tier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Mick Foley for me is far and away the best promo man the business has ever seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, why the f**k is Williams you're pick. He's a good wrestler but he's not an X-division wrestler, Kendricks is one of the best cruiserweights around atm and he should definitely win it. I think RVD/Abyss, Hernandez, Angle, MCMG, Lethal and Kendricks should win their matches. The others I either don't care about or can't say, the latter in the case of AJ/Kaz's match. I do agree that Rock is about the only person I'd rather see on the mic than Flair. Some of Mankinds promos back in the day were good but shoot promos, which is what Flair has been doing with Lethal, are amazing. The stuff about Space Mountain and 60 minute man from Lethal were so good that even Flair was holding back a smile.

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Foleys promos in the build up to WM22 and in the build upto to ECW ONS with him and Edge vs Dreamer/Funk are some of the best promos I've ever seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
