Steiner is more of a sentient meme than an actual good talker.

Results from the first round:
#4 Nick Bockwinkel d. #5 Larry Sweeney 23-14. I doubt anyone here's ever heard a Bockwinkel promo :colbert:. Anyway, he's in trouble next round.

MassRafter showed a playlist of Bockwinkel's promos awhile ago so a lot of us who hang out have at least heard a few of them.
They're great specimens of the pre-modern wrestling era but don't hold up against modern talkers unless you're really into that kind of thing.

I do not know who Larry Sweeny is however.

If you don't think Bock's promos hold up anymore I'd like to know what you're comparing them to.

The more energetic, comparatively visceral promos of the 90's and above. Bock is good at what he does, but what he does sounds like a guy giving a somewhat impassioned press conference on ESPN after a tough road loss.
That was his character, and he was good at it. But compared to guys like Dusty, Piper (WCW RUN NOTWITHSTANDING) and Flair, it feels like a relic of a bygone age.

Voted against Austin because the progenitor of the greatest blight to ever infect wrestling promos can advance no further.
