In this SOUND OFF RETRO clip from episode 462 (9/25/2016), Solomonster continues his countdown of the Top 9 Promos in WWE History. #6 was a pipe bomb dropped long before CM Punk ever set foot in WWE as Paul Heyman gets a lot off his chest to Vince McMahon prior to the big Team WWF vs. The Alliance main event at Survivor Series 2001. From the 11/15/01 episode of Smackdown.

Ric Flairs tear in my eye promo will always be one of my favorites. I don't think it made solomonsters list but i think it got an honorable mention
That night rob van dam and booker t were the only good things to come out of the invasion
That audience was so dead during that Paul Heyman Vince pipe bomb promo. They should have did it in Philly or NYC
It was Austin vs Angle & Rikishi….HHH turned on Austin Omg JR & Heymans back n forth was the most comical commentary I've heard…..Jr was like Omg this Heinous!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
That whole invasion angle was awful, in my opinion.
Agreed. Biggest reasons why i don't like the term sports entertainment is 1. It's overused 2. Nigel mcguiness literally says it every 10 seconds on nxt and nxt uk, which makes me nauseous asf 😂😂😂 and 3. Every sport is and has been a mix of sports and entertainment, they all have storylines, some manipulated by the media and some that just naturally happpen with no script 💯
I honestly 100% feel bad for younger wrestling fans that weren't able to experience what it was like in the 90's, and hell, even early 2000's when wwf was around. TNA has had it's moments, ROH has had great periods, NJPW is hot right now, but nothing will ever come close to when those 3 major promotions were at war! This is not a slight at younger or newer wrestling fans, I'm still a fan (just not as much anymore), it's just nice to look back and remember what it was like.
Everything Heyman preached to Vince in 2001 is actually way more relevant today lol
Hey that promo was the one that you felt. It may had been a work but he always wanted to say that to vince. GREAT ONE!!
The promo from Paul is so cathartic. Everything Heyman said was true and still relevant to this day.
