I mean also honestly..........that promo is a solid one and I can see why it's great! Does he believe what he is saying.......yes Does he hook you in........yes ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED.........FOR GODS SAKE YES I AM!!!!!!
That promo and The Rock running down all his opponents for the 6 way Hell in a Cell I thought for certain would have been locks to appear on at least one list.
@@steveng2475 Speaking of Flair, another crime is that his "I'm having a hard time holding these alligators down!" Promo was nowhere to be see. Also, Piper's "You do not throw Rocks at a man who's got a machine gun!" should be top 10.
To be fair to Luke, I don't think very many non-wrestling fans would know what the Pipe Bomb is. But the first time I learned about the Steiner Math promo, it was from a friend of mine who never saw a wrestling show in his life. He saw the clip, thought it was funny, asked me for some more good promos, and now he too is a wrestling fan
And the non-wrestling fans who know of Steiner Math know it from garbage memes. The Pipebomb sent ripples throughout the industry. It's even one of the big moments that made MJF the character that he is.
@@AzureRoxethe pipebomb kickstarted nearly 15 years of lame ass worked shoot promos and forced blurring the lines. It had a massive impact but a massively negative one in a lot of ways
Is correct. There are at least 5 big pipebomb style promos (2 Heyman, AJLee, Joey Styles) as good as each other. There's only 1 Steiner Math promo even among the long storied history of unhinged promos.
The best thing about that "And his name is Cactus Jack" promo is that HHH is not worried at all about facing Mankind. Hunter knows he has his number. But when Foley says the name "Cactus Jack," and Foley is wearing the Wanted t-shirt, suddenly HHH is worried. IT'S THE SAME DAMN GUY! It's so camp, and it's amazing, and it's what makes wrestling so perfect, because even as a fan, we know it's the same human body, but it's not the same person.
My thoughts exactly. Hunter's facial expression when Mankind takes off the mask and rips open the shirt and transforms into Cactus Jack is perfect! It may be the "same guy" in terms of looks but they're two completely separate people. It's fantastic and I wish we could have something like that in today's age
Dude Love is a persona. Mankind is a Saturday morning cartoon villain, Cactus Jack is real, and he's just a dangerous man. Mankind had boiler room brawls, Cactus Jack was the King of the Deathmatch.
Being 1,000% honest with myself and everyone else in the comments section, I agree with Luke. I can never remember how the pipebomb promo goes, but I can almost word for word remember Steiner Math.🤣🤣🤣
To this day, I find ways to make comments about things that work in bits of Steiner Math. The Pipebomb is a great promo, but it is much less quotable in most situations.
Luke got it right. Just last week I had a non-wrestling fan quote that promo as a meme in discord. it was amazing knowing where it came from and that the other person did not.
Unironically, i agree with Steiner Math being one of the best promos and moments in wrestling history. When you say Scott Steiner that’s the first thing that comes into mind. When you say Sacrifice you think of that promo. It’s a crazy promo but you want to see the match because of that promo.
MJF's pipe bomb "I want you to fire me" was one of my favorite promos ever. Especially since I saw it live in the arena and heard the crowd turn from boos to cheers. We have been cheering MJF ever since.
The steiner maths is so absurd that it is good. A regular person will watch that promo and they will still understand the message of that promo compared to the pipebomb.
I think more than a handful of you could, word for word, recite the entire Steiner Math promo off the top of your head. That's more than I can say for many promos out there.
Because it's basically a copy-pasta because of how stupid it is. Everyone knows all the words to Smash Mouth's All Star too, does that make it a better song than Stairway to Heaven?
@mohawkbandito902 No, but that doesn't mean everyone's favorite song is Stairway to Heaven, or that it's impossible for someone to like All-Star more. I'm not saying it's my #1. I'm just saying I'm not surprised it's someone's #1.
@@MarcoTalin12 It does mean that anyone who actually says All Star is gonna get a questionable look, and their argument of "Everybody knows the words" isn't actually a claim towards personal favoritism. That's a different argument altogether, but it's a convenient one to spring from when it's proven how silly that is. I mean, it's pretty obvious by the look on Luke's face that he was gauging for reaction.
Honestly, and surprisingly, Luke is correct about his #1. The fact that, 18 years later, that promo is still memorable and quotable shows how much of a lasting impact it has. While the dumbfoundedness is valid, the reasoning behind this pick is also valid.
You're on drugs dude, the Pipebomb is also still memorable, has been proven CORRECT multiple times and has had such a gigantic impact that other similar promos afterwards have been termed pipebombs.
So I was teaching a stats unit in my math class and as an example of bad stats, I showed them Steiner Maths. The look of wtaf I got for 28 kids was a look I will never forget. And 1 kid got extra credit, which I never give out, because on one question he wrote, "and if I add Kurt Angle to the mix"
The fact that not one Jake the Snake Roberts promo is listed in the top 10 is crazy. The promo after he slapped Elizabeth at Tuesday in Texas is amazing!! No shouting, the psychology, it's brilliant!!
@@PastorSloan Yes!!! And let's not forget Savage's promos on Hogan leading up to WrestleMania V and his promo after winning the WWF title at WrestleMania VIII when Ric Flair kissed Elizabeth!
His promo against Ted DiBiase for Wrestlemania 6 is absolutely unbelievable. "How poetic that the money you grovel for is your own, a victim of your own greed wallowing in the muck of avarice."
Honestly, i feel like Pipebomb is phenomenal but Punk's promo against Rock "your arms are just too short to box with God" that one is miles above for me.
It is a great promo, but the outcome of it was Punk got shafted and moved out of the main event picture. When I watch it back I think, "too bad this didn't go anywhere."
A lowkey good one is Jey Usos' "Which one are you?" promo. Jey was literally the "other" Uso because Jimmy was more popular on Total Divas, and that promo was the final seal of approval that he belonged in the main event.
@@GeekOfArabia It’s from the RAW episode after WrestleMania 33. Just search “Roman Reigns this is my yard now” and it should be the first video that appears.
Samoa Joe's savage roast promo of Jeff Hardy, Orton, AJ, Ali, and Bryan in the space of 1 minute is proportionately the best promo ever and definitely top 10
Scott Steiner probably taught a generation of wrestling fans math with that one promo. I have seen quite a few videos showing the math is correct which blew my mind. That took the promo from bad to amazing. MJF did a variation on Samoa Joe not that long ago. I am little disappointed there were no Rock promos. His absolute dismantling of Billy Gunn as the voice of God is still one of my favorites.
@TequilaToothpick I think I remember seeing a clip when someone asked Jim Cornette about Steiner Maths, and he said that Scott is smart, but he is also crazy. Also, it wasn't Corny that said this, but apparently Scott is the more sane Steiner brother. Haven't heard about Rick's antics other than the occasional bar fight, but I have heard about some of Scott's (like crossing 3 lanes on a highway to run over a bird just because), and I'm not sure I believe people when they say that.
Glad that Pete acknowledged the Eddie Guerrero 'Addiction' promo. To this day, I still think its the greatest promo I've ever watched. Eddie put *HIS ENTIRE HEART* into that promo and you can FEEL him to such a degree. It turned EVERYONE into an Eddie fan and wanting to see him get his crowning moment (which thankfully, he did).
Im surprised Zigglers "Love doesn't love you back" promo isnt in the list in my opinion that promo has more emotion than most in this list even the Mark Henry one also that sami zayn's last promo before R-Evolution on neville is also underated
Pete just cannot keep it straight when Luke's number one pick comes up. Its great stuff. Its up there with Sulivan's Brie-Mode gag from the Worst themes.
this is SO GOOD. Luke's #1 just GIVES ME LIFE. was hoping to see The Rock's promo against Billy Gunn somewhere on there...that's the promo that i just keep going back to and it never fails to make me laugh. it's probably my favourite promo ever. but there were some amazing ones on here...and now i've discovered that Mick Foley ECW promo, which i never realised i needed so much in my life until now.
Dusty's "Hard Times" is the best promo of all times and it was just one of many. He didn't have the physique to draw, but he clearly knew how to rock the mic and put butts in seats. There is a reason WWE had him teaching wrestlers how to do promos, not Punk, not Steiner.
I mean....to be fair. MJF repeated the Steiner Math promo and the crowd popped for it. It's the only promo I can recall that is lengthy and word for word repeated twice in two businesses
A nice touch about mjfs orgin promo was after his promo they say on commentary adhd is no joke. I have Adhd too. It was nice to hear them legitimize it more. Much respect.
The best part of the Paul Heyman 2001 promo was actually the backstory. The story goes that Paul pulled Vince aside to warn him that the promo he was gonna cut was deep and if there were any topics that he deemed off limits, and Vince basically cut him off and said something to the tune of "I don't care, just go out there and make me a shit load of money"
Best thing Wrestletalk has ever done. Luke trying to justify his insane (but not to him) No 1 choice like an evil, tragic villain does his nefarious schemes. Oli being genuinely flabbergasted whilst also trying to figure out how he can legally fire Luke for this indiscretion. Pete simply eating popcorn and laughing at the madness unfolding in front of him. Brilliant.
I don't know what's funnier : Luke cutting a promo to vehemently defend Steiner's Maths as the best promo ever, Oli being flabbergasted or Pete dying of laughter.
One underrated part of the Mark Henry retirement promo is when he's talking about the women in his life and he says "Not Mae Young." and the commentators laugh
Luke's number 1 just utterly broke Ollie and Pete and how he defended it so vehemently while the others look so stunned. How they realise slowly "he isn't joking" and you know what the thing they really can't believe is that Luke is right about everything about Stenier Maths
Can't believe Eddie Kingstons debut promo wasn't on Luke or Olis list. Oli talks about getting fired up watching the pipe bomb, that Eddie promo gets me fired up
I appreciate the two different completly acceptable reactions to Stiener maths. The bome rattling laughter of pete and the shocked confusion and disbelief of ollie.... ironically those are the two most common reactions to actually hearing Steiner maths
So fun fact. I actually knew about Steiner Math and watched it a dozen times before even knowing what TNA was. I was a kid and assumed it was a side Wwe show
Got about halfway through the list and stopped to watch the MJF promo that Luke mentioned. I'm not the biggest fan of wrestling anymore, I lost a lot of my interest in the summer of 2009, but watching you guys I find very entertaining. I looked up that promo and thought it was fantastic, one of the most moving things I've seen from wrestling, hell probably in a long time. I'll have to look into the other ones in my spare time, keep up the great work guys and thank you for what you do.
Steiner Maths is so good. It perfectly sums up Scott Steiner's character, too, and that's what makes it so great. Trying to sound smart but being such a steroid meathead that you stumble all over it, but believing in yourself so much that it doesn't matter. Now that Scott Steiner's career is over you can look back and really appreciate him. Meathead is a character archetype that lots of guys have tried over the years, but nobody did it better than Steiner. He just perfectly nails being goofy while still being scary.
They say all wrestletalk guys are created equal, But then you look at Ollie and Luke’s #1 answers and you can see that statement is not true. You see, Ollie didn’t understand the greatness of Steiner Maths because he forgot to add Kurt Angle to the mix. As a result, Ollie’s momentum drastic go down
My top 10 1) Austin 3:16 like it had to be this. 2) Steiner Maths 3) salmon jacket 4) you made wrestling a dirty word Vince 5) who's your daddy Montreal 6) pipebomb 7) Luke saying math > pipebomb (This is your life Rock) 8) Sulley's retort (1 night stand) 9) hbk in the graveyard 10) cream of the crop
Heyman's promo in Chicago coming out instead of Punk (soon after Punk left) when the fans almost hijacked the show, and then turning it around to blame the fans for Punk leaving, then again turning it around to hype Lesnar challenging the streak. Very underrated and definitely belongs in top 10/20.
Every once in a while, there's a video that you always come back to, just to see a great reaction to a point of a conversation. When it comes to wrestletalk, this is that video for me, because I agree with Lukes stance on "bad wrestling".
Hogan’s heel turn deserves a spot here. “This right here is the new world order of wrestling, brother” on top of so many great lines. Telling the fans to shut up, saying he built wwf. All in such a heated moment. Trash flying everywhere. Starting the hottest angle of wcw’s existence. Too good
I keep coming back to this for the LOL's...but also just remembered 1 not in the conversation. HBK playing the Canada crowd as the bad guy ahead of Hogan match - mastery
The best TLC video. I love it when opinions differ, rather being essentially an eco-chamber where everybody agrees on the same things lol. Luke & Oli over the Steiner Math & Pipebomb was my highlight of the video.
Surprised Dolph's "I live for this even though it doesn't love me back." promo wasn't on there. That being said Ollie's reaction to Luke's Steiner math at No 1 was so good.
Ollie’s just stunned expression while Pete is absolutely cracking up at Luke’s number 1 is hysterical.
Poor ollie!!! I feel his hurt but damn!!!! That reaction!!!!!!
That’s a “FROM OUTTA NOWHERE” reaction!
To be fair... At least Luke is completely within everything we know about him 😹
I mean also honestly..........that promo is a solid one and I can see why it's great!
Does he believe what he is saying.......yes
Does he hook you in........yes
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED.........FOR GODS SAKE YES I AM!!!!!!

I mean it was the best promo ever done just listen to it
the cream of the crop promo belongs in its own category with other amazing promos such as Warrior, Lex Luger, Hulk Hogan and Sid.

The only reason I can think of that Oli wouldn't agree on Luke's number one entry: he forgot to add Kurt Angle into the mix.

Luke was the only one who understood the assignment. He put the most promo promo ever at No. 1. It would definitely be in my top 10.
Best thing Wrestletalk has ever done.
Luke trying to justify his insane (but not to him) No 1 choice like an evil, tragic villain does his nefarious schemes.
Oli being genuinely flabbergasted whilst also trying to figure out how he can legally fire Luke for this indiscretion.
Pete simply eating popcorn and laughing at the madness unfolding in front of him.
Brilliant.
I don't know what's funnier : Luke cutting a promo to vehemently defend Steiner's Maths as the best promo ever, Oli being flabbergasted or Pete dying of laughter.
One underrated part of the Mark Henry retirement promo is when he's talking about the women in his life and he says "Not Mae Young." and the commentators laugh
I’m honestly surprised no one mentioned Austin’s ECW promo from 1995, it’s probably my all time favourite promo
Mine too. "It's a bunch of violent crap."
Can't believe Eddie Guerero's 'Why Rey' promo is not on there. Was absolutely masterful
Luke's Foley impression is spot on
Going back to watching this months later is so much better😂
It’s crazy how ‘The Genesis of Mcgillicutty’ isn’t #1
From now...in this moment...
He's got nothing on Steiner in this regard
I think aaliyah's promo where she was reading from a script live on tv should've been no 1
Fight me
"Are you having a breakdown?" 😂😂😂
Steiner maths is the only wrestling promo I can repeat from memory. That has to make it a good promo by itself.
Luke's number 1 just utterly broke Ollie and Pete and how he defended it so vehemently while the others look so stunned. How they realise slowly "he isn't joking" and you know what the thing they really can't believe is that Luke is right about everything about Stenier Maths
Pete was DYING at Luke’s #1 😂😂😂😂
The way Luke says “Of course” at 21:37 cracks me up like “why wouldn’t i put Steiner Math at number 1?”
Look, all I'll say is this: the Pipebomb isn't on the Important Videos Playlist
"Are you having a breakdown" and Ollie hiding behind his hands, greatest thing ever
Can't believe Eddie Kingstons debut promo wasn't on Luke or Olis list. Oli talks about getting fired up watching the pipe bomb, that Eddie promo gets me fired up
I appreciate the two different completly acceptable reactions to Stiener maths. The bome rattling laughter of pete and the shocked confusion and disbelief of ollie.... ironically those are the two most common reactions to actually hearing Steiner maths
They say that all lists are created equal, but you look at Ollie's and you look at Luke's and you can see that sentence ain't true...
Normally when you have a tables list and chairs you have a 33 and 1/3 percent of winning but Luke's lists aren't normal.
So fun fact. I actually knew about Steiner Math and watched it a dozen times before even knowing what TNA was. I was a kid and assumed it was a side Wwe show
"He's out of line, but he's right" Steiner Math # 1
I would have thought Scott Hall's "You don't know why I'm here." foreshadowing the NWO story that effectively defined WCW
After hearing the news about Pete leaving I wanna say here THANK YOU PETE
Got about halfway through the list and stopped to watch the MJF promo that Luke mentioned. I'm not the biggest fan of wrestling anymore, I lost a lot of my interest in the summer of 2009, but watching you guys I find very entertaining. I looked up that promo and thought it was fantastic, one of the most moving things I've seen from wrestling, hell probably in a long time. I'll have to look into the other ones in my spare time, keep up the great work guys and thank you for what you do.
I'm glad "tear in my eye" got a mention, but sad that the whole "Billy Spoke to God" promo was completely overlooked.
Ah yes, the complete disintegration of Billy Gunn's entire push. I love it.
@@dwaterson21 Well, it said "Best Wrestling Promos" not "Best Promos that led to great long-term storylines" hehe.
@@dwaterson21 technically that’s the start of the disintegration, the Edge “King of the Ring” promo is what totally killed it for Billy’s push.
Steiner Maths is so good. It perfectly sums up Scott Steiner's character, too, and that's what makes it so great. Trying to sound smart but being such a steroid meathead that you stumble all over it, but believing in yourself so much that it doesn't matter. Now that Scott Steiner's career is over you can look back and really appreciate him. Meathead is a character archetype that lots of guys have tried over the years, but nobody did it better than Steiner. He just perfectly nails being goofy while still being scary.
How did nobody vote for the Shawn Michaels “Who’s your daddy” promo? A perfect heel promo
Jay White's promo post Wrestle Kingdom 15 where he has a complete breakdown over his loss to Kota Ibushi is definitely on my top 10.
Abso-fucking-lutely
When he's laughing psychotically and falls down is so funny tho
Is like Oli is gonna have a stroke any second with Luke's #1 pick 😂😂😂
Still keep going back to this. Oli's state of shock and Pete's laughing in hysterics at Luke's #1.
For once Luke is right on this I absolutely agree it's iconic and entertaining as hell. Pipe Bomb isn't very entertaining on multiple viewings 😂
"I feel like I'm being gaslighted"
We all are Oli, we all are
They say all wrestletalk guys are created equal, But then you look at Ollie and Luke’s #1 answers and you can see that statement is not true. You see, Ollie didn’t understand the greatness of Steiner Maths because he forgot to add Kurt Angle to the mix. As a result, Ollie’s momentum drastic go down
My top 10
1) Austin 3:16 like it had to be this.
2) Steiner Maths
3) salmon jacket
4) you made wrestling a dirty word Vince
5) who's your daddy Montreal
6) pipebomb
7) Luke saying math > pipebomb (This is your life Rock)
8) Sulley's retort (1 night stand)
9) hbk in the graveyard
10) cream of the crop
Oli's recoil in fear with his hands over his face is pure cinema
Luke gaslighting Oli over Steiner Maths is genuinely hilarious
How was that gaslighting?
Watching Luke make Ollie have an aneurysm on camera Is the funniest thing I've ever seen 😂😂
Heyman's promo in Chicago coming out instead of Punk (soon after Punk left) when the fans almost hijacked the show, and then turning it around to blame the fans for Punk leaving, then again turning it around to hype Lesnar challenging the streak. Very underrated and definitely belongs in top 10/20.
The fact that y’all ignored Booker Ts N bomb is nuts.
That will probably be in worst ha
HULK HOGAN WE'RE COMING FOR U NI........!!!
Every once in a while, there's a video that you always come back to, just to see a great reaction to a point of a conversation. When it comes to wrestletalk, this is that video for me, because I agree with Lukes stance on "bad wrestling".
No Cream of the Crop? 😢
Hogan’s heel turn deserves a spot here. “This right here is the new world order of wrestling, brother” on top of so many great lines. Telling the fans to shut up, saying he built wwf. All in such a heated moment. Trash flying everywhere. Starting the hottest angle of wcw’s existence. Too good
Triple H’s “I am the f**king game JR” better be on here
Edit: I guess as an interview it might not count
I keep coming back to this for the LOL's...but also just remembered 1 not in the conversation. HBK playing the Canada crowd as the bad guy ahead of Hogan match - mastery
Ollie’s face when they didn’t have the pipebomb first is hilarious
The best TLC video. I love it when opinions differ, rather being essentially an eco-chamber where everybody agrees on the same things lol.
Luke & Oli over the Steiner Math & Pipebomb was my highlight of the video.
Oli in the wrestle talk office: fight me fight me fight me
Enter laurie
.........
One of my favorites is Jay Lethal versus Ric Flair cutting a promo as Ric Flair. This was pure gold. And of course Steiner math is gold
Steiner Math became a meme, it transcended wrestling
Surprised Dolph's "I live for this even though it doesn't love me back." promo wasn't on there. That being said Ollie's reaction to Luke's Steiner math at No 1 was so good.
I hate to say it but I agree with Luke about Steiner maths
Bray Wyatt's "Man in the woods" is a great one, specially for the foreshadowing
