5 WWE Superstars who should be given permission by Vince McMahon to cut unscripted promos

#1 Samoa Joe

Traumatize someone with trash talk? Not a problem for Samoa Joe!

Samoa Joe is one of the most dreaded opponents on the main roster. He is someone who leaves no stone unturned to get under the skin of his opponent. He can make the best men drop to their knees by catching hold of their weakness.

One of the things that makes Joe extremely good on the mic is the fact that he is well aware of how he wants the WWE Universe to perceive him. He uses his aggression to talk down to the opponents and gradually turns them into taunts.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Once Joe realizes which of his sly remarks helps him get inside the head of his opponent, he uses them again and again until they become an integral part of the storyline. This helps him gain the complete attention of the crowd which keeps anticipating his next beatdown.

Another thing that sets Joe aside from all other Superstars is his well-timed taunts during the match. If other Superstars are down for long, Joe conveniently fills the gap with trash talks directed at his opponent or towards the crowd. And he is quite brilliant at aligning his in-ring skills with his mic skills to narrate a gruesome story.

Imagine what Jthe SmSamoanilling Machine can do if he is involved in a major title picture and Vince McMahon allows him to go full 'Joe' on the mic...
