Great mic skills? Um. No.

[maddogwrestlingfan]

@litehouse6 Thats because he had WRESTLING TALENT. back then that mattered not speaking...

[satyran]

David showed great emotions, anger or happiness and was actually one of the most believable promos in all of wrestling. Was he a flashy talker of bs like Flair or Dusty? No, but he was a good Christian rough and tumble Texan standing up for decency and his family honor and he made you believe that ...to say DVE didn't have mic skills just shows how stupid and out of touch with real professional wrestling someone really is.

Promo where done differently then. This was just before the whole cartoon era of WWF took off. David's character was the responsible older brother. He wasn't a bullfighter or a racecar driver. It wasn't a flashy role, but it was his and he did what he could with it. He made people believe that was exactly who he was.

@litehouse6 ...don't forget he was only 24 years old...I see him getting better as the years go on...at 6'6, he had size...perhaps he turned heal and added a goatee as the years progressed...he was the leader of the family and it fell apart when he left...

@litehouse6 To be fair, it was a different time, and promo's were cut in a different way. I'd say this is actually pretty good

[scvbtr2]

He didn't have long to go. RIP.

@ed2kou1 Contrary to what you feel, alot of his Co-workers don't feel how you think they feel. I'm not talking about the bitter underachievers. I'm talking about those who reached the pinnacle as well as he and have no reason to be bitter.

[ed2kou1]

@superbexcellence You make no sense, you say this and that, that Flair is and isn't. Then you say overall Flair gets the nod lol! As I've said many times over and over. It really don't matter what we think, what matters is his co workers say he was the greatest ever! I can see why they say that, and I agree with them!

[superbexcellence]

@ed2kou1 Forget the promoters, politics, legacies and title reigns. Mic Skills, Ring Pychology, and technical skills. Flair may be top five in all categories. Probably top ten in technical skills, but not number 1 in any of those. Greatest on the Mic Rock no question but hes way down in other two categories. Psychology Hogan, Eddie Guerrero, flair. depending on who you ask, could be anyone above the other. eddie is an underrated mic guy also but not even top twenty. Flair gets the overall nod.

Any chance you have a copy of the Texas Heavyweight match David talked about in this promo? My buddies and I were there and it would be great to see it again. Anybody remember when David kissed the Texas flag right before that match? I still have the flag.
