July 30, 201510 yr comment_5689036 The film Glengarry Glen Ross, one of my all time faves, is basically just one stream of guys cutting absolutely money promos on each other. This one from Big Al probably the highlight:
July 30, 201510 yr comment_5689038 Also, if anybody has even seen the Thick of It there are blow away "promos" in every show Malcolm Tucker gives someone a huge bollocking. Thinking about it, The Thick of It might be my fave show ever. Certainly has the best put down lines in the history of television as well as the best swearing.
July 30, 201510 yr comment_5689045 Did anyone pick this guy in the '83 Fantasy Draft? This was also awesome by the way!

July 31, 201510 yr comment_5689221 GhostFace Killa from Wu Tang cut a promo on Action Bronson, it was pretty entertaining to me.
July 31, 201510 yr comment_5689253 Parv bringing up Mamet through GGR makes me think about promotions as booked by other screenwriters... Aaron Sorkin: A really intense version of early RoH/early EVOLVE. A babyface would be the first one to break the Code of Honor as political protest. Neil LaBute: Creative peak ECW. No qualifications there. Todd Haynes: Toned down JCP. Baby Doll becomes the promotion's biggest star. Eli Roth: CZW at its most Lobo/Zandig-est. Trent Acid and Jimmy Rave as the wide-eyed babyface stars.
October 13, 20159 yr comment_5704333 Not a promo per se, but I saw a quote today that was totally lifted from wrestlers criticizing fans/critics. Someone in this Chase Utley controversy came out & said that unless you were/are a middle infielder you have no right to second guess or criticize what was done there. So yeah, not just you never stepped on a baseball field, but you had to have played middle infield to comment on this play.
October 13, 20159 yr comment_5704380 For those of you in the US: there are youtube subtitles in case that you don't understand ANYTHING. The "there's going to be three hits in the fight" line is tremendous and would actually be great for a wrestling promo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdZ581yzCek

October 22, 20159 yr comment_5706112 Look what these bastards have done to Wales. They've taken our coal, our water, our steel. They buy our homes and live in them for a fortnight every year. What have they given us? Absolutely nothing. We've been exploited, raped, controlled and punished by the English – and that's who you are playing this afternoon. Phil Bennett, Wales Rugby captain's motivational speech to his team before playing England - 1977 Imagine it with the heavily accented poetic lilting Welsh cadence. That's a money promo by Bennett. Dripping with emotion, steeped in fact, and delivered with purpose.
December 20, 20159 yr comment_5716697 I guess posting MMA promos here is kind of cheating but Nate Diaz can do a better money promo than anything I have seen on WWE TV in a million years. https://streamable.com/xn2t
