On a recent edition of his “ARN” podcast, Arn Anderson touched on the art of cutting promos in professional wrestling. Discussing the subject, Anderson brought up the legendary Jim Cornette, citing him as one of the greatest promo artists of all time. He said,
“Fantastic. Great. Bob Cottle was the voice of so many shows, so many shows, and Cornette. It’s just I’ve never seen a guy that can go on a tangent, never take a breath, and never put a comma in it. And he never stumbles over a word. He never skips a word. He completes every thought. And the content alone is amazing.”
Emphasizing the importance of believing what one says while cutting a promo, Anderson said,
“You know, I believe what I said. That’s one thing. We could feel it. I can say that I’ve been beat a lot over the years. I’ve been beaten up a lot over the years. But every time I walked through that curtain, I believed I would win. I believe in myself. I bet on myself. And I believe, in any fight, number one, strike first and be vicious, and things that you never thought could happen suddenly appear.”
