25 Most Memorable Wrestling Promos Of All-Time

9. Cream Of The Crop

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C4lK41SX-Q With a career full of colorful promos, there are probably a large handful of Randy Savage bits that you could place on a list like this but his creative use of props gets the nod here. It used to be one of his favorite things to do, whether it's a coffee mug or a trash can, but when he decided to use tiny little coffee creamers in this interview with "Mean" Gene Okerlund, things were taken to another level. This is one of those promos that you can watch multiple times and get a different take from each viewing. You could even watch it with the sound completely off and be entertained as you watch him use a seemingly endless supply of creamers when it looked like he only had one to start with. He wasn't just randomly drinking coffee before the promo or anything, either. He used them to tell a story about how the cream (himself in that analogy) always rises to the top. This was a month-and-a-half after Savage dropped the Intercontinental Title to Ricky Steamboat at WrestleMania 3 and Okerlund was curious as to how the "Macho Man" would bounce back from such a big loss. The promo was big for Savage's career as it helped to build more momentum for the rest of his 1987, letting him reach the pinnacle of the WWF and win the WWF Title at WrestleMania 4.
