10 Biggest Loudmouths In WWE History
Despite being a modern example, Enzo Amore is right up there with WWE's best motormouths...
The very definition of the word 'loudmouth' relates to a person who can't resist from talking too much in an offensive or tactless fashion. Of course, characters who can speak clearly and with passion are sought after in the pro wrestling world. Arguably, the ability to cut a promo is just as important as looking the part or having in-ring skills.
Ironically, many of the names featured here weren't famous for trading wrist locks or suplexes. Instead, they used verbal prowess to get ahead in WWE and draw an awful lot of attention as a result. For others, being able to mix supreme skill on the microphone with clear wrestling ability was key.
There's no discernible rules dictating that a loudmouth has to be heel or babyface either. The only criteria is that each entrant must have or have had a loud voice and a brash willingness to shout from the rooftops about either themselves or their opponents.
Being an outspoken motormouth is a positive in wrestling. Let's look at the most proficient proponents of being loud and proud...
10. The Ultimate Warrior
Proving that it's not only heels who can be loudmouths right off the bat, The Ultimate Warrior is a classic example on the babyface side. Seriously, go back and watch any of Warrior's promos from his heyday years of the late-1980s into the early-1990s and witness one of the most colourful characters in WWE history.
Weaving almost poetical lines into his interviews, Warrior would routinely shout like a madman when in front of the camera. Contrast this with a more quiet approach someone like Jake 'The Snake' Roberts adopted and it becomes clear that Warrior believed in style over substance.
Often, the man's promos didn't even make much sense. Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan (another fine talker) once said during a shoot interview that Warrior was difficult to produce - he just did his own thing and worked himself into a trance when called upon to talk.
The Ultimate Warrior wasn't a loudmouth in the traditional brash sense, instead favouring volume and theatrics. Ear-plugs are advised, as Warrior was never one for subtlety when it came to his interview time.
