10 Wrestling Promo Masters Who Never Needed A Script

6. Paul Heyman

The only non-wrestler on this list, few people have influenced the business in as many different ways as Paul Heyman. Although his biggest contribution to the wrestling word is probably the game-changing explosion of ECW, his work on the microphone deserves its own recognition for its intensity and immaculate delivery. A master of both provocation and inspiration, Heyman is equally capable of playing cult leader and Hollywood sports coach. His semi-shoot introductory promo to One Night Stand 2005 simultaneously whipped the ECW faithful into a fervour and antagonised a large contingent of the WWE roster. Few are capable of delivering lines with such unapologetic ferocity as Heyman. His charisma has enabled him to stay relevant in an ever-changing industry, as evident by his recent main-event appearance at WrestleMania 31 in the corner of Brock Lesnar. As impressive as the beast has been in his destructive return to the top of the wrestling world, credit must be given to Heyman for talking up his charge at every opportunity - in the most obnoxious, odious way possible, of course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7AoX3LkxpA
