21. Eddie Guerrero's Silent Promo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2Z3nGqrxac There were multiple memorable promos during Eddie Guerrero's heel run in WWE when he feuded with Rey Mysterio, but none were as amazing as his "silent" promo. After their tag team broke up over jealousy and Eddie took one of Rey's legendary masks, Guerrero would come out to cut a promo where everyone was expecting an answer. Why, Eddie, why? Why did you turn on the man who you often referred to as your "brother"? As he would raise the microphone to his face, the crowd would shower him with boos. He would stop, lower the microphone, soak in the heel heat for a few seconds and then try again. Once more, the crowd would boo him louder as the mic was put to his face, causing him to stop yet again. It would go on and on before he simply dropped the mask, stomped on it, rubbed it into the mat as if he were snuffing out a cigarette and he walked off. Promo over. He didn't say a word, but he told an amazing story of anger. It was the best promo of his entire career and it isn't often you can say that about someone that didn't say a thing.
