Billy Gunn could probably come back and talk more convincingly than most of the roster and people would be like "Wtf? Why is Billy Gunn the best talker?"

Actually, I am curious to see how Jeff Hardy would do in the current climate. Or Shelton Benjamin. Well, I just heard Shelton talk a few weeks ago, and it was pretty dire (sorry, Shelty -- I still love ya), but Jeff legitimately doesn't give a fuck, and I think he could be extremely entertaining in a confident "here's a dude with actual charisma" kind of way.
Right, but that was 2016 Goldberg, I was strictly talking about the 1999-2003 era that BigCrippy stated. Just like 1996-1997 Shawn Michaels was a better promo than Miz.

My whole point is Miz could have held his own at anytime, sure he wouldn't be a top guy cause it takes more than just great promos, but as per the topic of this thread, Miz is one of the few left that still keeps the true art form of cutting a good Promo alive.
