WWE Hall of Famer “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson recently took to an episode of his ARN podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including advice he gives to younger talents about cutting promos.
Anderson said, “My biggest piece of advice in short form would be just this, talk to your audience, not to them. And they will understand you much much better. If they feel like you’re screaming at them. It’s not; it’s a turn-off. But if they feel like you’re talking to them, and you give them something in everyday life, they can compare what you’re trying to the point you’re trying to get across, then they go Oh, yeah, I get that. Example. Everybody knows you’ve been walking down the street, you know, with your girlfriend or wife or playing grab-a** or whatever and not paying attention. When you step off a curb and roll your ankle. Everybody sells it the same way. You sit right on your a**, you pull that foot up to you, and you go, Don’t touch it. Sorry. There are just some things that we inherently, as human beings, understand. Right? Yeah. If you get hit in the nose, what is the first thing that happens? bleeds are not your eyes start to water, eyes, water up, squint.”
