Not many wrestlers still do these as most are scripted but I miss the days when a wrestler could cut a promo. IMO, the best wrestlers ever to cut a promo were:
Stone Cold Steve Austin
The Rock
Rick Flair
Hawk
Owen Hart
Scott Hall
Roddy Piper
Lou Albano
Bobby Heenan
Fred Blassie
Road Dogg
Today, there's nobody who could cut promos like these guys could.

Agreed. The lack of characters, promos, and storylines is a big reason why today's roster aren't as big as wrestlers of the past.

Not true a lot of guys can cut great promos and do outside of the WWE, just WWE is as you said so scripted it is ridiculous, that list is ok but far from complete imo where is Dusty at?
Personally I think Steve Corino, Raven, Bray Wyatt, Paul Heyman, Jim Cornette and CM Punk are all great promos also, Eddie Guerrero was tremendous in his last few years as well, Paul Bearer outside of his WWF run back when he was Percy Pringle the 3rd was pretty good also, cannot forget Vinnie Mac that guy love him or hate him is gold on the mic, in regards to his own material, what he thinks is good for others however eh not so much.
One problem today is they aren't allowed to cut promos like they used to, one reason is people used to think it was the heels just being dicks or the babyfaces just being wild now everyone looks for ways to blame the companies, it's why Vince, Steph and Hunter manage to get heat for the last few years, they are the only heels people believe are responsible for the shit they say, but I mean lets be honest if WWE let Seth Rollins be the real him on the mic as he is on twitter then that dude would get major heat no problem.

Agreed. The art is not so much lost, as it is stifled. Someone like Samoa Joe is a killer when turned loose. Heyman can still kill it everytime. Bray Wyatt is something special. It's just the soap opera writers who don't know how to construct a wrestling promo that suck.
