Are there any wrestling moments or spots that you are ruined or damaged by the commentary?

I feel like the commentary on Hogan joining the nWo lets down the moment, it doesn't really do it justice.

The commentary on Raw pretty much ruins every match, same with SmackDown. It's why I watch the programs in Spanish instead, at least they know how to call a match.

As for your example, I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with it? Is there something in particular you wanted out of it and didn't get?

Honestly, I was always agitated by Jerry Lawler's sophomoric rambling every time a woman showed up on television. I laughed at it when I was going through puberty, but after that I just found it to be overused and, in a way, thought that it really brought down certain matches and segments.

I didn't like the way one of the commentators said "But which side is he on" without any enthusiasm.

Also, Michael Cole's entire "heel" commentator run could qualify as he ruined the show on a nightly basis.

2:40 there's a reason Todd Grisham didn't last long on commentary.

When there was some HLA going on in 2002 or 2003, jerry lawler screaming in that annoying high voice of his and acting like he was about to cum didn't help the segment.
