@soln4suhreborn appearantly you weren't watching this. obviously this man was the greatest man on the mic. how does it feel soln to be, to know, to be and to know that ken patera paved the way for guys like the rock and austin's promos. how does it feel?
@mindchanger912 Nah,sorry-I don't see it in Patera. He didn't have the charisma,swagger and extreme arrogance of The Rock or the brashness of a Steve Austin. I find watching the second hand on an analog clock more entertaining than ANY promo Patera cut. Greatest man on the mic?.....What about Ernie Ladd,Dusty Rhodes,Superstar Billy Graham,Bruiser Brody,Terry Funk,Ric Flair,Arn Anderson or Kevin Sullivan?
No question Patera was an accomplished wrestler. Unfortunately he has murdered so many a promo. I recall in the awa that he said he wasn't sure the heenan family could beat Hulk Hogan. The epic fail promo Ken did was with mean gene in 87' mentioning about what he'd do to the Heenan family.
Fun fact: Dusty Rhodes, Ken Patera, & Ric Flair all came out of the same promo school, all 3 used "Wooo" 2 emphasize what they said...Of course, we all know which 1 went on 2 become King Of The Promos
It's like he is reading a cue card and just can't read. Did he just said Indian pels? My gosh. but honestly the greatest line in any promo ever is "So, Wahoo McDaniels, I am coming to Charlotte and take that NWA.... Belt"
Kenny sucks ass. I mean holy shit did he learn to talk from a bunch of apes? I feel bad because Cena probably ended up falling asleep studying this guys promos.
jeez thank god for ken patera without him my friends and i wouldn't laugh until we cry at his terrible promo's. i'm so happy when i randomly search his name and happen to stumble upon another travesty
jericho, hbk, and christian cage pale in comparison to patera. those sound and look like they are reading off of cue cards compared to the charismatic patera.
i like when he just gets angry all the sudden. it's like i'm calm, i'm calm *pop* I'M ANGRY! even his gene interview. it's just a matTer of time *pop* IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME!
LOL i saw Patera and Paul Jones in Charlotte when i was a kid. It was the most one sided match ever. I don't know what Jones said to him before the match , but it was a beatdown.
patera was the best..a real athlete among a bunch of actors..most of what he said was legit..not like these idiots running around today..like HHH..what an idiot..hecould never be a patera
How does it feel, Ken Patera? How does it feel, Ken Patera, to murder promo after promo, Ken Patera, and job to the microphone? Keep cutting promos because it's going to happen again, BOY!
patera in his prime (1971/72) weighed 350 and could standing press 540 lbs in stricter style than alexejev could press 440....strongest us wl ever in terms of raw strength
Yes, cutting a promo is not easy if you've never done one but these guys should be practicing every night (it's there job!). Patera was too busy going out every night getting drunk and trashing McDonalds.

Ken Patera has charisma oozing from every single pore of his body.
Judging by this promo, I'd say he has more charisma than The Rock and Stone Cold... COMBINED!
I love it when he gets all fired up. Very believable.
Look at that shirt he's donning. He is clearly a master of style, the king of threads, a fashion guru if you will.
Check out his funky afro hairdo too. This man was way ahead of his time.
