How did "I screwed Bret!" make it but "Bret Hart screwed Bret Hart" not make it?

And am I the only one who was disappointed at the lack of "IT WAS ME, AUSTIN!"


And they also don't have one of my all-time favorite promos here. The Ministry Taker promos that ends with "now you will know why you are afraid of the dark."

the It was me Austin wasn't really a promo per say, more a segment with some talking involved.

I'm personally disappointed in the absence of Harley Race in the list

Yes! I noticed he was left off the list. Also a little disappointed that they didn't include any of Steve Austin's work from ECW in '95.

However, I'm not gonna complain too much about a list that put Cane Dewey at #3. I was happy to see that :D

LOL I was surprised they used this clip in Booker T's induction video. But they cut it just as he was about to say the N word

Because WWE is PG now, so they probably don't want to call attention to the fact that John Cena once said "we're inmates, Brock, and you just dropped the soap."

still, this also means that cena hasn't had a single memorable promo in his career be it PG or not. same with wwe's top guys like orton or triple h

He's had quite a few. His promos on The Rock from last year come to mind, as does his promo to Vince in 2011 when Vince was about to fire him.

they're ok, they're good, but not at the level of the ones in the list at all. and we're talking about the poster boy for the last 10 yrs

It doesn't mean Cena hasn't had a single memorable promo ever. It means he hasn't had one of the 25 best of all time (of the material that WWE owns... and some of these are memorable for sucking (the Warrior promo, for example).

And this is also a list that doesn't include "Bret Screwed Bret," so how accurate can it be?
