NWA: Total Nonstop Action #22 Classic Watch Along

[Ricky Smarks]

Both announcers just marking already lol

I don't blame them. This is the first time they probably feel like they can properly promote how huge a match is.

 

[Chris]

Tenay has just been on another level for me since TNA started

 

[Chris]

You can tell he really loves this shit, he's all in with the company

 

[Ricky Smarks]

He has. More so then WCW even. But I miss Ed.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

You can tell he really loves this shit, he's all in with the company

He probably feels like he's being trusted with it since he was usually third wheel to Tony and Bobby. Don can't carry it.

 

[Chris]

When he first started calling the cruiser matches in WCW and just those matches I think he had this same enthusiasm

 

[Chris]

I loved when he'd talk over Brain or Dusty being ignorant about them too lol

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Oh as guest, probably, but you can tell he wasn't as engaged on the Thunders and stuff he was a regular. But him, Tony and Bobby will always be my goat team no matter what.

 

[Chris]

Nah his Thunder commentary he was so checked out on, especially towards the end

 

[Chris]

Actually he did get some enthusiasm back towards the VERY end but 2000 you could tell he wasn't there lol

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Like here Tenay almost feels like a second color as he's just as passionate about the action as Don is.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Yeah, that's what I meant. He's very much more engaged here than at the end of WCW.

 

[Chris]

Yeah I can't even say Tenay has done much play by play which is hilarious bc he's GOAT at that but I agree , they're like two color guys

 

[Ricky Smarks]

But 1996-1998, Tenay, Tony and Bobby is the goat announce team.

 

[Chris]

Oh yeah idk why I said "nah" there lol I meant yeah bc I was agreeing
