5 times wrestlers botched miserably on the mic 

WWE superstars are some of the most skilled performers in the world but as well as being talented in-ring performers, WWE expects their superstars to be able to deliver hard-hitting promos in front of a large audience.

Some of the most talented wrestlers in WWE history haven't been able to back up their in-ring skills on the mic, which has led to some pretty embarrassing moments on the live TV.

The fact that, nowadays, everything on TV is backed up by Youtube videos means that it has become much harder for WWE's superstars to get away with botches as part of their product anymore.

That being said, there have been some incredible fails on the mic over the past few years, some that we are glad there is video evidence of.

#5 Roman Reigns forgets his lines

Roman Reigns has been public enemy number one when it comes to the WWE Universe over the past few years and one of the reasons for this is because he has never been able to deliver a decent promo on live TV.

Romans problems really began when "The Shield" split and he was thrust into the spotlight alone without Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose to back him up for the first time. As seen from the video above, this spotlight only served to point out many of Roman's faults and this backstage promo proved that he wasn't ready for this kind of position in WWE no matter how much the company wanted to push him towards it.

This isn't the only promo Roman Reigns has managed to botch over the past few years, but it is one of the most famous.

#4 Hulk Hogan's Silverdome

Hulk Hogan is one of the biggest superstars that WWE has ever created, but it seems that even he has been the victim of the odd botch or two when it comes to delivering important promos.

Back at WrestleMania 30, Hogan only had to deliver a short promo to celebrate 30 years of the biggest event of the year and somehow "The Immortal One" forgot that the show was inside The Superdome.

Hogan wrongly announced that he was standing inside The Silverdome, before realising that this was wrong and making matters worse by correcting himself. Even the commentary team were laughing at Hogan after this botch, but I suppose if you're going to do something wrong, then you do it at 'The Showcase of the Immortals' so that the wrestling world will always remember it.

#3 Sycho Sid's only got half a brain

There aren't many promo-fails that are better than Sycho Sid's infamous "half a brain" speech.

Sid was never one of the best talkers when it came to his mic work, but it seems that he really outdid himself here with one of the best botches of all time. It looks as though Sid was trying to say was that his opponent only had half the brain that he did but he tripped over his words and inadvertently told Kevin Nash that he had double the brain capacity that he did.

Nash's reaction says it all as the once serious promo became a joke and is now seen as one of the best microphone fails of all time.

#2 Titus O'Neil trips over his words

Titus O'Neil's best run in WWE was when he was part of The Prime Time Players with Darren Young, where he is a former Tag Team Champion.

Many of the WWE Universe have commented on the fact that Titus hasn't been given a real chance on WWE TV for a long time and the above promo will show them why.

Titus may be the owner of the Titus Worldwide Brand, but it seems that he isn't able to be much of a spokesperson for his own brand when it comes to speaking on the mic.

Remember, this was broadcast live on an episode of Raw, it probably took Titus a long time to live this one down.

#1 Seth Rollins can't say "inanimate"

It seems that when you're the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, the creative team decide to put some much bigger words into your promos.

Now, Rollins is a smart man, he's a guy who once looked into a career as a writer so he knows what the word inanimate means, it seems that he just can't say it under pressure.

Rollins managed to brush it off, like many other superstars. He managed to stumble over his words when he was put on the spot, but even Brock Lesnar was laughing at the Champion. Of course, this wasn't the only promo that Rollins managed to mess up on since John Cena pulled him up live on Raw when he accidentally told the former WWE Champion to "tuck his legs between his legs" which is technically impossible.
