24. "Jumpin" Jeff Farmer Goes Full Force
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MISUHTo2NDs This obviously wasn't a promo that was originally seen by millions of people, but the internet has made it a cult favorite through the years. There's a pretty good chance you've already seen the promo, even if you have no idea who Jeff Farmer is or what promotions he worked for. From the start, it looks like Farmer would rather be anywhere in the world other than right there cutting the promo. He seems awkward and almost scared, like a teenager cutting his first promo in the beginning stages of wrestling school. He bumbles and stumbles his way through the entire thing and you start to feel bad for the guy after a while. This promo has the unique combination of being an incredibly awkward experience that makes you want to turn away from the screen and a train wreck that you can't turn away from, all at the same time. That takes a lot of talent and skill to pull off. Long live Jeff Farmer.
