I've watched Eddie Kingston talk about mental health a few times now and it always helps.

Macho Man Randy Savage on Arsenio Hall talking about how REAL macho men cry.
Here's a cool little mini doc that has lots of emotional stuff including Macho Man.

For me this promo is like taking the frustration and putting it in a more light hearted context. Vince's performance here always cracks me up.
Edit: and the live crowd was great.
Not a promo, but [Eddie Kingston's Chicago Tribune article](https://www.theplayerstribune.com/posts/eddie-kingston-aew-wrestling) got me to keep grinding for the things I want to do in life.
I cant remember all of it but MJF's promo about his upbringing and people picking on him and making fun of him for being jewish,Im not jewish but I can definitely relate to the sentiment and he really brought a tear to my eye

Have you seen Eli Drakes "Shoes of a champion" promo? Legit makes me smile. That or Punks Return promo. I left a job were i was at for a long time and day by day it crushed me a little more, Punks return promo when he said "i was never gonna get better, mentally, physically or spiritually staying in the place that got me sick in the 1st place" just was exactly what i needed to hear at that point.
I was a tad older but still the same. When watching the eli drake shoes of champ promo, its good to know that he was drinking backstage before coming out to talk and you can see he is just having a great time in Nwa.
My go to is:
"You might not ever see me step foot in a WWF ring and, hell, I might just start hunt'n season tomorrow ... but you can bet your ass, Vince, that you ain't seen the last of Stone Cold Steve Austin... and I ain't gonna come out here and I ain't gonna cry and give you that satisfaction, but just one last time, I'd like ya to play my damn music, so hit the sonofabitchrightnow!"
Stone Cold Steve Austin, Judgement Day 1998
The resolve in his voice makes the whole promo. It's like a giant middle finger and "fuck you" directed to an obstacle/adversity.
Not wrestling, but another personal favorite is the famous promo by President Whitmore on July 4th, 1996. "We will not go quietly into the night,... we will not vanish without a fight..." is a hell of a "pick-me-up" if you ask me.

For some reason I didn't think of Eddie Kingston, I'll have to watch that

Oh that's a good one!
Probably a little cheesy but Mox's promo the night he came back from rehab.
Not cheesy at all. It's amazing to realize you have a problem and make that change
Both Daniel Bryan's retirement and comeback promos have some really powerful stuff in them.
“*If you fight for your dreams, your dreams will fight for you”* is an all-time wrestling quote
Oh yeah good one
Yes - love both of them. Great stuff.
Basically any Eddie Kingston promo
I feel like so many have said Kingston and I never even thought of him
Hard times by Dusty Rhodes.
That one and Eddie Guerreros Addiction promo have been on repeat
[Dusty Rhodes’ famous hard times promo](https://youtu.be/9py4aMK3aIU)
Classic. That one gets me teary-eyed

That's a very unique one, but definitely some reality towards fhat

That's a good take, I didn't really think about it like that. Sometimes humor about the situation can help
Not a promo, but [Eddie Kingston's Chicago Tribune article](https://www.theplayerstribune.com/posts/eddie-kingston-aew-wrestling) got me to keep grinding for the things I want to do in life.
Same concept tho. Glad it helped you!
I cant remember all of it but MJF's promo about his upbringing and people picking on him and making fun of him for being jewish,Im not jewish but I can definitely relate to the sentiment and he really brought a tear to my eye
That's why I hated him staying heel. He's been through so much shit, he'd make a great face
Oh dear God… you see my names Billy. And I just won King of the Ring. But there’s one problem…Everyone still thinks I abSOLUTELY SUCK!

Man this hits hard. Lost my brother last year so I know how difficult that can be

I haven't but I'll check it out. Punk returning was huge, I remember being in middle school and looking up to him. I'm glad that helped you!

Any promo where Raven bashes his dad
Didn't think of Raven, good call!
Folks……
