Whos your personal favorite commentary team, dont just say "JR is the best ever" well duh. Which announce TEAM had the best chemistry and gave you the most entertainment??
Personally I think J.R. and Paul Heyman's run in 2001 as the Raw announce team was absolutley stellar. Definately my pick as favorite of all time, JR was already the voice of the industry, and for someone like Paul Heyman to come to the booth and be so damn good at it right from day 1. (Which I remember watching btw, and as a youngster barely knowing who Heyman was and wondering where King went, which for some reason Paul flat out said the honest truth why King left on his first night out lmao) But these two called WM 17 together, which is by far my favorite PPV of all time, and I think its partially due to these guys and their excellent commentary. They just clicked right off the bat, and I truley miss that team and wish it lasted longer.
Honorable mentions go out to JR and King, the Punk,King, Michael Cole team (which is mostly due to Punk being absolutley hilarious)
But the man who was the closest to competing with my #1 pick is Joey Styles on the original ECW commentary by himself. If I were a true original ECW viewer and ordered their PPVs live back then, he'd easily be my #1, but given the fact that I've only watched a shitload of old tapes I wont go as far as to say hes my favorite ever. The man would sit alone with no partner and call the action in ways we never heard before and never will again, this guy is number 2 to Jim Ross as the best wrestling commentator of all time, and not just for his Oh my godd catch phrase, but simply for the fact that he brought that passion to every single match and made you want to keep watching the action in the ring, he knew his shit and knew it well, and always knew what to say and how to make it sound good. Its Sad that WWE has him under contract and all he does is sit on the computer and play with their annoying ass Website, because that man was the voice of ECW and honestly helped big time in making it what it was. He and JR would make the greatest team in history and it sucks that WWE is yet to take advantage of that oppurtunity.
As far as my least favorite is concerned..well this one is real easy for me. Mike Tenay and Don fucking West....
I used to watch TNA like ALOT I followed it and tuned in every week for a reallly long time, but god damn every single week hearing that fucking absolute idiot Don West on Commentary made me sick. I sware theres never been one guy whos made me have the urge to turn some wrestling off of my TV more than that guy. And Tenay is a good broadcaster, but his work in WCW by far overshadows anything hes done in TNA, He is just a mark now a days.
