5 best promo-cutters in AEW today
AEW has one of the best in-ring products in the entire industry. Not only do their wrestlers deliver in the ring, but they can also weave magic on the mic. Given the creative freedom that's allowed for the performers in the company, several wrestlers have excelled on the stick.
It is evident that Tony Khan and his team have paid attention to well-crafted promos to hype up AEW's impactful matches. Compelling promos can help sell matches and pay-per-views.
Legends such as Hulk Hogan, The Rock and Stone Cold were able to talk people into buying tickets and fill up arenas on the strength of their words alone. Here are five AEW stars who carry the torch today and are the best in the game when it comes to mic work.
#5. AEW star Bryan Danielson has found his voice as a villain
Bryan Danielson is clearly one of the best in-ring technicians in wrestling today. He had a strong connection with the audience when he was the underdog babyface in WWE.
However, since joining All Elite Wrestling, The American Dragon has elevated his game even more as an arrogant heel character who knows his own greatness. His mic work is smarmy and overbearing but always rings true, which makes him a compelling villain.
He had an awesome series of matches with Hangman Page for the World Championship which put over the babyface thanks to barbed comments Danielson made to the Cowboy.
It seems like his next opponent is Jon Moxley, who he hopes to strike an alliance with. Despite being the bad guy, his pitch on why the two stars should join forces is so convincing that the audience is wholly supportive of the idea. The credit solely goes to Danielson's ability on the mic.
