Love him or hate him he always made you listen...
I was a fan of all the 'heels' growing up and Bockwinkle, Blanchard, Flair, Piper were the best talkers...IMO..i'm sure there are many I'm leaving out.
One of my first matches i saw live was Bockwinkle vs Bruiser Brody in San Antonio...and both put on a great show.....and great to the fans , autograph-wise...

@illwauk His interviews are fantastic. I always & mean always thought there was no better man on th emic thatn Flair, bu tFlair's OTT screaming now seems annoying campoared with the aura of confidence that NB shows off in all his promos. Piper is probably the most quick witted guy though.

@Germany1111 lmao!..........no

@TheLuscious i agree. wrestlers are the ones who understand their own product, not some corporate bozo. back then, pro-wrestlers had to be outrageous and original to really stand out. everything now is formulaic, just like Hollywood.
-
@heavymetalsoldier yeah that's because pro-wrestling now has "writers" that over complicates wrestling with issues that belong in a teenage emo movie. back then it was just about being "manly" and being the best. now, everyone sounds like a generic copy from a bad pop heart break song.

Nick was always a classy guy. Loved his promos!

He was awesome on interviews. Kept it straight, simple, and to the point. Too bad it cant be like that today

It's a shame Hansen didn't do the job for Bockwinkel in Denver. It's a great clash-of-styles narrative.
Gotta love Bockwinkle. He never screamed at the top of his lungs, used catchphrases (at least not that I can remember) or made inane pop-culture references. He was just a good, articulate interview... probably the most underrated of all time. He belongs right up there with Flair, Piper and Roberts.

Nick's arguably the best interview ever. EXTREMELY articulate but without ever losing edge or focus. A master in the ring and on the mic. He's one of a kind.
