Speaking of Canadian promos by great heels:
"Who's Your Daddy, Montreal!"

In 2005, Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels agreed to have a feud together. Originally, Michaels proposed it as face vs. face, with a series of 3 matches, wherein they would split the first two and then have the rubber match at Wrestlemania with Hogan going over. Hogan agreed, initially.
Then Hogan got cold feet. Now, Shawn Michaels is certainly no slouch when it comes to backstage politics, but Hogan is the absolute king. First he demanded that Shawn turn heel because he wanted it "old-school" (translation: he didn't want to be out-cheered). Shawn agreed, kicking and screaming, and decided to take advantage of this to run one of the more scathing heel assaults on anyone.
And Hogan couldn't do anything about it, because prima donna Hogan only showed up once a month.
Shawn blasted Hogan left and right in segments on Raw (most notably the faux-Larry King interview). He put over how great he was and how hypocritical and impotent Hogan's beliefs were. He nailed Hogan for being the fraud that he is.
It all culminated in this promo, one of the grandest examples of a wrestler holding an audience captive against their will, able to do whatever he freaking wants. It's not a great promo on a technical level, but damn is it heated. And the moment in that promo, oh dear god the moment. Montreal is the one place on Earth that legitimately wanted Shawn Michaels's blood, and he squeezed every single ounce of animosity that night for all it was worth.
Post-script: Hogan was pissed and called off the series, only keeping Match #1 where Hogan wins. And we all know how that went...
And then the next night Hogan was gone, HBK put him over with tongue so firmly in cheek you'd need the jaws of life to speak again, and then turned face like none of this ever happened.
But it did, and here we have the final heel masterpiece of Shawn Michaels.
