10 Legendary Wrestlers Who Couldn't Cut A Promo

8. Lita

First catching the eye alongside Essa Rios, Lita was quickly elevated beyond the former Light Heavyweight Champion's Sunday Night Heat confines to work with The Hardy Boyz, getting over not because she was a great talker or personality, but because of her willingness to bump big for her charges, daredevil style, and tremendous Moonsault. A perfect fit at the perfect time, with the union important in springboarding Lita to stardom.

Lita became a pivotal Women's Revolution forebearer and rightful WWE Hall of Famer without ever mastering the verbal arts. Her strengths as a performer lay elsewhere and even today, when brought in for guest spots, she struggles on the microphone. Lita isn't terrible at it, per se, and certainly isn't in league with some of the names higher up this list, but she scarcely sounds sure of herself.

Throughout their groundbreaking feud and beyond, Trish Stratus was always the more compelling talker of the two. Nothing in Trish's in-ring arsenal was as sick as Lita's Moonsault, though.
