[Nick]

Mike Tenay for this call:

Joey Styles for sure.

I loved Tony Schiavone, I was never a WCW guy so I even find my choice kinda strange.

he spent a long time in wwf as well.

Either Jim Ross or Gorilla Monsoon. I'd probably go with JR just because he more than anyone else (even Gorilla) has the ability to call the action in such a way that he makes it feel real even though we all know it isn't. Just listen to him call the '98 King Of The Ring HIAC match between Undertaker and Mankind and tell me he isn't easily one of the greatest commentators in history. That's one of his finest moments for sure.

Also, on the subject of Gorilla Monsoon, I have to admit that I always enjoyed listening to Monsoon/Ventura more as a broadcast team than I did Monsoon/Heenan.

yeah JR sold the kayfabe like a pro

I know, but he is much better known for his WCW work, & that's what I know him best for.

JR had the IT factor of announcers. Something about him just made you believe.

 

[HIGH FLYER]

If you go down any list of "best matches" most of them are called by JR.. that's what he did for the show.. he added that extra oomph!

 

[Ovaldinho]

Cole is the most over nowadays

 

[Aids Johnson]

Vinny Mac and JBL

 

[TheTNHMaster]

John Madden.

JR was and is a cut above the rest, no question about it.
You can tell that he has found his calling in life when he is behind a mic calling a match, nothing forced about it.
Best all time was Gorilla & Henan, you younger guys don't know what you missed out on.
