Kurt Angle is a good talker. I swear to Christ I remember him being pretty good on the mic. Finn Balor in that 24 special, when he's just talking as a guy, sounds like a real human being. Likable even. Same with Roman. Same with Seth. Only by pure force of will is Bray or Dean able to somehow break out of that and not sound scripted, but even then those guys are saying the same shitty dialogue written in the same pattern by the same writers, just adjusted slightly to be their style.
Give me Raw and the very first thing I'm doing after cleaning house and firing folks, I'm scrapping the heavily scripted promos. Guys get four or five bullet points to memorize. Just go out there and talk. Get comfortable sounding natural. Some promos will be awful and bad, but everyone needs to learn by doing. Assign guys a helper who's got promo experience to help work on good one liners etc.
"Tell Brock Lesnar something for me... Tell him... I'm going to... BEAT HIM!"
"It might be Roman's yard, but it's my universe."
Seriously. Give those exact lines to the Rock and they still die a death.
