 What's good Josh Boar Ross back again with another video. So I'm gonna check out top 10 WWE promos that will make you cry now a good emotional promo That you can buy into that the wrestler is very passionate about you can tell there's a lot of truth being said in the promo Can bring out the the waterworks can bring out the tears can bring out the emotion in fans watching and That's usually a good sign if you can make people believe what you're saying is true and there are some actual truths to what you're saying and whatever you're trying to convey and Whatever emotions you're trying to bring out and the viewers and the fans watching the attendance in that home You're doing a good job, and we've seen some very emotional promos Over the years are gonna check out some of the best ones that you know brought a tear down You know brought brought out the emotions that you know in us watching them So should be a very good one to go down memory lane appreciate all love sport. Let's get right into this one, man We often get swept up in the emotions of classic matches are one thing But when you can truly feel and resonate with the words from a promo That's when the sport becomes real and truly grips us today We're gonna focus on those segments that really hit close to home and pulled on our heartstrings as we List the top 10 most emotional promos in wrestling first We have two honorable mentions retiring from the ring is never easy No It's one thing to end a career on your own terms being forced to reside you to injuries a sad way to go out an Unfortunate reality for numerous wrestlers including edge who said goodbye to the squared circle in 2011 after a history of neck problems As the MRI showed that that I have to retire And I'm glad that he's he's back finishing up his career on his terms I've still been watching what he's been doing in AEW So, you know, and I've been liking some of the stuff I do think they they kind of overbooked it In a sense with him going against Christian cage, but I have been for the most part enjoying it I do think it could be could could have been handled better in my personal opinion But I'm just glad that edges doing what he loves and he's back in the wrestling even when he came back in WWE I was very happy about that and that's always good to see man. So It's a little bit tougher than I thought it was gonna be It was a teary affair for the rated R superstar who took the solace in the fact that he was able to go out on top as the world Heavyweight champion. However, after eight years away edge made a triumphant return at the 2020 Royal Rumble This is so cool Oh, this is so cool That all of you join me on this ride Rest of retiring is sad because it's so real So imagine using something that's inherently emotional in a storyline paired with an Oscar worthy performance that fooled everyone as Mark Henry was to retire from wrestling on the June 17th 2013 edition of Raw Shout out to Mark Henry man. Shout out to him. I told him personally This is one of the greatest Promos ever delivered in it got me. He got everybody. This was so good. Loved his promo, man I could interrupted a promo from WWE champion at the time John Cena Mark spoke directly from the heart with tears in his eyes His final moments as a member of the active roster were to be perhaps some of his greatest as he gave such an impassioned speech That had everyone in the arena thanking him for his career My little girl Johanna, baby, I'm coming home Cena allowed Henry to hold up the WWE championship a title the world's strongest man had never won and then just like that Mark did what was seemingly unthinkable Good That was so good. I hadn't been done too often in wrestling But even at that few angles in history fooled fans like Mark Henry's fake retirement I'm coming home WWE Champion It was everything we love about wrestling It hit on something real that drew us in a motion only to swerve us at the last minute with an act Which we didn't see coming but made sense in the context of the story number 10 HPK loses his smile Shawn Michaels is no stranger to being involved in emotional moments in wrestling Such as when he called it a career the night after losing to the Undertaker at WrestleMania 26 Break it Shawn Michaels Has left the building So good one of the most emotional segments involving Shawn happens in February 1997 Where Michaels had to forfeit the WWF title due to injury is remembered as the promo where Shawn lost his smile I've lost a lot of things and one of them has been my smile. It was a single Most greatest year of my life Despite the sobbing some people doubted the severity of Michael's injury including Brett the hitman heart who Shawn was Penciled in to wrestle at the upcoming WrestleMania Where Brett was expected to get his win back after losing to HPK at the previous year's mania I remember I didn't buy any of it. I thought this is the biggest bunch of bullshit ever It's just his way of not dropping the belt to me, which just to be wreaked of unprofessionalism number nine well he they their hatred for each other I've got that Better terms, but now they hate you for each other back then They hated each other, bro, they hated each other They were making good money, but boy they they No, that wasn't the act that was real life Nah, I don't like you. I Think you're the worst. They thought the worst of each other is fucking different time, man Daniel Bryan's retirement was also a case of recurring injury forcing him to step away in Bryan's case It was due to concussions his emotional farewell saddened fans But they and the other talent were able to give Daniel's career a great send-off in his hometown of Seattle Brian reflected this one hit me boy and thank the fans for their unwavering support that helped make him a star I have loved this in a way that I have never loved anything else Daniel gave a special mention to the night which also took place in Seattle where fans hijacked the WWE world title unification ceremony Since it was the last time Brian's father was able to watch his son perform live before he passed And that was the last time my dad ever got to see me wrestle and you guys made it This is hitting me now This shit still hits bro Watching that live I'm not even allowed to I definitely shed it. I shed a tear because I was like damn His career is cut short and it sucks, you know But the fact that the fans Really got behind this guy and made him an A-plus player. We knew he was an A-plus player in the ring WWE didn't know what they didn't want to know and the fans got behind him and And let it be known now. This is the guy we want fucking just WWE roster yes, then applauded Brian to cap off a side but wholesome segment It was just over two years later that Brian was medically cleared to return to the ring Daniel once again Emotionally addressed the audience to announce his comeback Brian returned to action at WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans resting in the same building he achieved his four years prior number eight Roman Reigns goes through leukemia amidst the runners universe and this was very emotional to watch this live This was because for the first time we saw Him Joe, we didn't see Roman Reigns. We saw the man behind the character This is what we saw. This is what we believed in. This is what we knew. Okay. This is real they're not forcing this on us and I wish WWE would have capitalized on just allowing him to be himself more Instead of trying to force it when he came back But ultimately we end up getting the Roman Reigns we have now, but this right here. This was a glimpse behind the character and it was it was an emotional moment As a champion in 2018 Roman Reigns was forced to relinquish his title in the cruelest of ways Reigns spoke out of character telling the world he'd previously been diagnosed with leukemia and that it had sadly now Returned the crowd was stunned into silence. Yeah, my real name is Joe and I've been living with leukemia for 11 years and Unfortunately, it's back. I'm not gonna lie. I'll take every prayer. You can send my way, but I'm not looking for sympathy Fans were in shock at the announcement. Yeah, I'm being driven to tears However, Roman assured us it wasn't a goodbye. This was just a see you later And it was one of those things where people was like, oh Wait a minute. Holy shit He's he's he's being real here and you can buy into Telling you if you can connect with people and make them believe you You're golden Not the character you're playing of course You're trying to get them to believe the character you're playing but character has to be an extension of you For people to buy into it, you know So this was this was a tough one To his word Roman would return four months later to much fanfare thanking the fans and announcing he was in remission I'm in remission y'all Before sharing a moment with his mother and shield partner Seth Rollins Number seven Rick good moment. Even though the retired wrestlers we've looked at so far ended up returning to the ring We still can't deny the sheer emotion and sadness felt when they first had to step away The same goes for the nature boy Ric Flair. Nate said goodbye to his illustrious resting career in 2008 Flair's career ended in style with a tearful address that was followed by a who's who with his friends family and former rivals that came down to Celebrate Rick's career Just wish it would end it there They literally have one of the perfect matches to end the career HPK Rick flair and I love this the booking stipulation. It was simple Anytime Rick flair lost from that period. He would have to retire So he had to keep winning which made you want to buy into watching. Is this gonna be Rick's last match? And it was a perfect send-off with HPK the the I love you before the superkick It was just so good And then he couldn't stay away. He couldn't stay away Couldn't help himself. I meet personally and I can't tell a man what to do with his life in his career But me personally, I think His retirement match his last match with HPK that should have been the retirement match Just that should have been it. It was perfect, but hey You know, I can't control that Every day of my life From the bottom of my heart, I Love you, man. Oh Investing is remembered for his legendary promos, which were filled with passion and emotion This is the greatest moment in my life And look at this Number six John Cena never gives up promo that epitomizes John Cena's career as Cena addressed his WWE Championship loss to Seamus at the previous night's TLC pay-per-view John cut a fiery promo upholding his mantra of never give up Cena spoke about his passion for the WWE. He was like a man possessed determined to regain his title I needed to take a second And I wanted to apologize to anybody that I might have let down last night. This is kind of hard to understand but Sometimes you can try so hard at something sometimes you can be so so prepared And still fail and with every time you fail It's painful Causes sadness and especially as I saw last night it causes disappointment. I've often said a man's character is not judged After he celebrates a victory by but but by what he does when his back is against the wall So no matter how great the setback how severe the failure You never give up You never give up. You pick yourself up. You brush yourself off. You push forward you move on WWE Universe is all I got this is my everything So I'm not gonna say tonight that I'm gonna I'm gonna work harder That I'm gonna be more dedicated I'm gonna put more time in the gym. That's impossible what I'm gonna say to all you tonight They're gonna listen is what happened to TLC will never happen again For me man, I Don't know this promo would make me cry back then. This is that era of John Cena I don't know if it would have made me cry if I'm a kid And I'm a Cena fan that probably would inspire me brought some tears to my eyes like you get them John Me personally, I would be okay, bro. We know this gonna make things right Cena is sometimes accused of underselling losses or brushing things off with jokes But neither was the case in this instance Cena put over the gravity of his loss by projecting how it made him feel and what he would do to respond All while having the crowd in the palm of his hand This was Cena is best number five the Miz next we have an example where Cena not taking a rest a series enough played into the story It happened on an episode of August of 2017 when after two initial jokes from Cena So this is what a sold-out bars case looks like it's bar clays bar clays real good I was making a joke out of everything the Miz fired back to cut one of the best promos How many moments do you two get because you know in life You're always told that if you work hard if you chip away if you plug away If you do your job then your moment will come and I am sick of waiting for my moment while to undeserving people like you do Moments week after week after week This is my show weekend and week out I'm the one working here. Now you and not you. I am sick. This is really good I deserve your shirt says respect earn it. I've earned it for 12 damn years This is good is my moment The frustration felt by Miz here had previously been seen at different points in his career Especially during his famous talking smash from in 2016. Really good. I'm back after criticism from Daniel Bryan So good sick of all of you my GM sitting there criticizing me calling me the coward I'm the one here day in and day out in that wrestling ring being people up Number four Dolph Ziggler. This is one of those things where it's like This is why he's there still This is why you may not agree with this in ring work. It may be kind of lackluster But the guy he's good on promos, bro Whether people want to admit it or not. He when he's fired up He can he can sell you on a match. He can sell you on an idea He has the charisma. He has the the the character to do it He believes in himself when no one else does and amen Commendable this one also was a good one to from dog son his career Ziggler was one of the standout performers in the WWE during much of the PG era, however He never reached the main event level which led to frustration this frustration was seen during some of Dolph's promos I tell everyone I'm great. I'm awesome. I'm the best. You can't follow me. And yet I still I Don't come out on top every night. I deliver if everyone is in my head telling me what's wrong I know that I am right for 11 years. I've never heard that wasn't good enough I don't sometimes I mean that was too good this continued to the point where Ziggler being seemingly destined to be a career mid-carder Begun to be used in storyline. It's you who wins the wwe Championship and it should have been me Classy it's me I know it's supposed to be a serious video, but still respect him and you all admire him and it should be me it should Have been me Perhaps the most famous was Ziggler's passionate speech to his hometown of Cleveland during a feud with them is on 2016 This was good close to tears while pondering how his career had not gone the way he'd hoped this This is all I have This couple minutes a night 300 nights a year. This is my everything. I don't think that's a surprise to anyone This is such a good view this this is what I love But you know what sometimes things you love don't always love you back and you can give and you can give and you can give And you can give and you can give and you can give and sometimes you get nothing in return You get nothing and you have friends and family and fans coming up to tell you. Why do you still do it? Why are you still here? Why do you subject yourself to this every night and maybe my career didn't always turn out the way I thought it would you know, I thought it would have been better. I thought I thought I earned something I thought I would be a bigger star, but you know what? I just can't stop myself No matter how many matches he'd lost or how the office viewed him so good to make fans believe in him again Thanks to this outstanding promo. It's set up a match where Dolph put his job on the line Yes Intercontinental champion them in a previous title match which Ziggler ultimately won number three Cody Rhodes battles through family and pain The American nightmare has cut his fair share of emotional promos I have to finish the He'd be giving some good promos to a skill no doubt passed down to his father the American dream dusty roads Do it They each showcase their ability to blend their real life into the world of pro wrestling because of this fans don't just buy into What they were saying they felt it since wrestling is often at its best when it can mirror the human experience It was only fitting that Cody battled his brother Dustin in an incredible match Which was followed by a very personal moment between the two siblings So good great match great story telling Cody's first promo back after returning to WWE was Significant as much as it was tearful It laid out his plan to not just follow in his father's footsteps, but achieve something the dream never could the American dream dust Zero it's he was my hero at eight years old I knew not what I wanted to do what I needed to do I was going to win this championship belt right here I was going to bestow it into the hands of the American dream dusty roads and I would tell him nobody can take it away from you now Unfortunately that dream died it died right in front of me. Yes. I cannot physically put that title belt into my father's hands I cannot bestow it upon the American dream dusty roads But I certainly can put it around the waist of the American nightmare And I am going to do it for the American dream dusty roads Hope he's able to bro. I hope he's able to But he dropped an emotional promo a couple weeks back Not this past Monday night, but the week before that's cool. He dropped a better one this week Continue that intensity man. We know that's the overall goal to dedicate it to your father You got to win it first when you win it Bring on the waterworks. I'm here for it But Cody's path to the WWE title was going to be far from straightforward an injury set back led to an impassioned speech After Rose wrestled inside Helen Assel with a torn peck And what could have been the lowest point in my career and what could have been the absolute worst night and what was literal hell I was not cynical. I was not jaded. I stood I fought a running with Paul Heyman in the lead up to WrestleMania 39 Saw Cody put his feud with Roman Reigns briefly unhauled in order to thank Paul for looking after the Rose family by giving Dusty work in ECW during a period where the family's money had run out ECW gave my father his Confidence back and I can never ever this was good. I ain't gonna hold you this Leading up to WrestleMania Chef's fucking kiss because it was real. It was real. This was something they history Ain't this was real. This was good. I fucking love this, but you also know We're talking about Paul Heyman and how Paul Heyman is ah This was good Fucking love it, bro. This was good Rip pay you for that. Number two Bray Wyatt Welcome Bray Wyatt back to the WWE with open arms Bray enjoyed a rough Rest in peace Bray having lost two people close to him on top of getting fired We were ready to see a different side to Wyatt this time around his return promo was incredibly heartfelt We could really feel every word Bray said I'm incredibly grateful. This was so good. I'm really really nervous to be here. I never thought of this This past year in my life. I lost a lot of things. I lost my career. I Lost my self confidence. I lost two people who are very very close to me I lost my way. I thought that everything that I've ever done here Otherwise, I thought it was all meaningless. Nothing I ever did has mattered to anyone. I was wrong I can sit here right now today, and I can look all of you in the eye We all appreciate it that you were there when I was weak when I was vulnerable when I was down So I just wanted to say thank you You all saved my life We were never able to truly see what this version of Wyatt was capable of due to his tragic passing in 2023 All of you can feel the spirit of Bray Wyatt in this building This made his return promo even more poignant We can take comfort in how this promo allowed Bray to see what he meant to the fans Telling them what they meant to him. Number one, and he Because you can tell he was genuinely happy because He didn't know if the fans really Cared really missed him and you can tell That they did that we did We understood that Vince didn't really get it and they WWE upper management didn't really appreciate it They liked the sales that like the merch sales, but they didn't really appreciate it or understood the best way to Handle his character and and his creativity, but the fans appreciated it So the fact that he was able to see that before his passing I just let you know, you know, I'm saying the power of the fans and us Truly caring for a wrestler even when management doesn't man doesn't that's a tough one I ain't gonna lie to you that one almost choked me up again Rero's new addiction as we've seen from each entry on our list The best promos are often rooted in reality Yeah, real-life feelings and emotions being expressed that in turn are tied into the storyline context of wrestling any Guerrero story arc was one of the most captivating because of how it incorporated his real-life struggles with addiction this coupled with how much Harder he had to work due to being undersized as well as the story that was told helped make Eddie's eventual crowning moments So much more for right before this could happen Guerrero delivered a career defining promo on the go-home show before his big match Eddie's upcoming opponent Brock Lesnar had Previously brought up Guerrero's past substance abuse issues allowing Latino heat to fire back and speak about his struggles with real-life Emotions as a way to build for the match. I am an addict About three years ago homes. They carried me straight into rehab through all that time Broke through all those three years. Not only did I wind up losing my jaw. I lost my wife I lost my kids and I lost Myself I just grazed my race. I just grazed my family Myself day by day. I have earned my life back. See when I step into this ring. Yeah, bro I am addicted. I'm addicted to the high that I get from them I'm addicted to the high that I get when I go home and I tell my family Hey, I'm doing it. I'm addicted to the satisfaction that I get To tell everybody like you that didn't believe in me you can stick it up your ass WWE title would be Eddie's final step to redemption Now if you enjoyed this video, this is a check out a similar video on 10 moments that can be this was great Man, gotta go ahead and like this video.
