Famous Wrestling Promo Botches

These promos are famous/infamous for when things went wrong

The late, great Sid Vicious cutting his classic promo

Pro wrestling in part athletics, part entertainment. And a huge part of that entertainment is being able to cut a good promo. You have to speak in a way that convinces the audience you mean what you say, building up to a good match.

It takes a lot of skill, and some wrestlers went down in history not just for their in-ring ability, but for their mic skills. Names such as Dusty Rhodes, Paul Heyman, The Rock, Steve Austin, and Ric Flair were known for their ability to tap into fans' emotions. "Austin 3:16" and "Hard Times" are iconic promos that almost any wrestling fan knows.

Then some promos went down in history not because they were iconic, but because the wrestler screwed them up. It might have been a flubbed line, a slip of the tongue, or the wrestler lost their train of thought at some point.

Here are ten times wrestlers screwed up a promo. Fans still talk about some of these today.
