Best Announcer

[seX-Power]

Who do you think is the best announcer today in WWE/TNA. Because they were recently scrapped of their positions I also included Mick Foley and Mike Adamle. Who do you think is the best at the whole announcing package. They need to excel at storytelling, calling moves and knowing what to say and when to say it. So all in all who is the best?

In my opinion, I think Tazz has it all. He is a good play-by-play guy, and he can also tell a good story. But, he has what other announcers dont have, and that is the ability to interest you and incorporate humor. It may not be funny, but it does not make you want to mute the TV. Many people will want to say Jim Ross but he is good not great and gets a little balnd at times, and he even said so himself.

Don West: ZOMG HE MADE A THREAD!!! HOLY SHIT!!

West is pure awesomeness in a can. Overselling is fun

Up until a couple of years ago JR hands down. He IS the master....

He's just not as sharp as he used to be now though... I think it's just an age thing.


Liking Strker on ECW right now and hoping to hear bigger & better thing from him in the future.



What's glaringly obvious to me is that we need some proper heel announcers and NOW! (Maybe I'm wrong but I think they play an important role in getting the wrestlers over in specific regard to their heel/face status... Peeps like Jesse The Body, Lawler in his prime & JBL actually gave you further reason to like/dislike certain guys.)


...Oh and ditch King. He just comes off like nothing more than a prozack ridden old perv these days.

Jim Ross, hats off to the great announcing skills of the Oklahoma BBQ Sauce maker. He makes those bad matches look good and the good matches look great. He is even perfect to make big situations even bigger.

He is the best announcer today in the wrestling business, no doubt about that.

I agree with Airfixx. Face/Face is SOOOO FUCKING BORING.

Am I the only one who misses JBL/Tazz constantly dissing Cole and King and Jr fighting?

Hell no...

I used to love Jesse & Monsoon @ WM.... Jesse would start the PPV by saying he was happy to be sharing the booth with Monsoon simply because it WASN'T Vince.... Then by the end of it they'd be at each other's throats! LOL


Comentary teams used to be entertaining in their OWN right.

This is a tough decision. I'm going to go with Mike Tenay, though Jim Ross is a very close second.
