4. "Genetic Jackhammer" (2000)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25TfOhGmqfU After defeating the McMahon-Helmsley Faction team of Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon and Triple H in a unique six-man tag match for the WWF Championship (in which he was teamed with Kane and The Undertaker) after pinning Vince, Vince claimed to understand that ex-commissioner Linda booked the match "out of love." Claiming then that he would "give her all the love she can handle," and that he figured that Linda wanted "another child," Vince uttered the immortal phrase "I'm your genetic jackhammer!" When a promo involves a punchline that ultimately becomes one of your character's nicknames because of how well its delivered as a punchline, it's basically one of the five best promos of your career.
