Former WWE Champion The Rock

The current WWE product is relatively tame when it comes to promos from superstars. Due to a more child-friendly product, Superstars are restricted in their use of curse words, slang terms, and insults regarding appearance, personality, etc.

While this does not hinder some stars from being able to talk the talk, it does take away from edgy nature of the product.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

In the early 2000's however, the hottest and most entertaining segment of the night involved The Rock or Stone Cold cutting a promo on Johnathan Coachman or another unfortunate target.

In the said promo, they often insulted the recipient's intelligence, looks, lack of sexual prowess, orientation, and more all to laughs and chants from the audience.
