>>12925523Honestly, who knows? The old wisdom is that you can be funny and charming in your promos but drop the schtick and get serious for the closer. And of course, the opponent, the date and the location should all be said because there's a reason these things are called "promos". So even if you're dressed up as your opponent and making a sting of Rodney Dangerfield jokes, you still end the promo with something like "Dirty White Boy, May 16th, Six Flags Gatlinburg, I'm going to give you the beating of a lifetime!" Because if you end on a punchline, why should the audience take this seriously if you don't?
On the other hand, would the audience care at all if you weren't funny at all? We watch wrestling to be entertained and comedy is entertaining. And whatever got me in the door drew me not matter if it's some girl's fat ass, a 7'2" giant or a 5'5" comedy jobber. The customer is always right and they vote with their dollar.
