Hulk Hogan — Even legends have an off day sometimesLet's face it - not every pro-wrestler can have the same savoir-faire on the microphone as, say, The Rock. I would even go as far to say that, historically, there are more people who are bad on the mic than there are people who are good on the mic.

#7 Kalisto makes a good lucha thing

Kalisto is one of those wrestlers who really doesn't need to cut promos that much - he can just let his incredible acrobatics in the ring do the talking for him. Still, this didn't stop WWE from making him cut an improv promo about being drafted to SmackDown.

It was a disaster. A hilarious, hilarious disaster.

Immediately, it's clear that Kalisto is uncomfortable and doesn't really know what to say. As the promo goes on, he starts flubbing words more frequently (i.e. calling Baron Corbin "Baroncorn"). The promo ends with him saying that he's "here to stay; make a-make-a-a-a good, good luchas, uh, lucha...thing." He scurries off camera in embarrassment, audibly cursing on his way out.

To basically no one's surprise, Kalisto hasn't had much mic time since.
