Paid Members Ron Simmons Posted April 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 Since Booker T joined the Smackdown announce team I've been shocked at just how terrible he actually is at his new gig. In fact, he's quite possibly the worst co-commentator I've ever heard. I don't really see any upside in the guy, others - take Mike Adamle for example - were at least fun to listen to/semi-coherent. Anyway, Booker got me thinking, who does everybody else hate to listen to? Who are the worst announcers/co-commentators of all time and why?

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted April 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 The thing is, how does Booker T make his brother, Stevie Ray, sound from his gig in the same role in late WCW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePhenom Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I can't stand listening to Randy Savage's 1993-4 commentary, it hurts my ears. The voice he (hopefully) puts on just does my head in, and it makes it a pain to watch early Raws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimufctna24 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Isnt Art Donvan or someone in 1994 meant to be the undisputed worst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members air_raid Posted April 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 I can't stand listening to Randy Savage's 1993-4 commentary, it hurts my ears. Â Savage was a bloody nightmare, especially on some of the Coliseum tapes where he puts inflection on words/syllables seemingly at random, changes the speed or volume of his voice at random moments and generally makes no sense. Still, fun for JR and the Brain clearly kicking back on a relatively easy days work, asking each other if they understand him and generally taking the piss out of Macho. Â Hard to believe he got fed up of the "winding down, mostly commentator" gig he had settled into there, to go wrestle every week for WcW and win the World title four times.

Paid Members martyngnr Posted April 12, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 12, 2011 Superstar Billy Grahams performance at SummerSlam 88 has to be up there as one of the worst. Lee Marshall was also fucking terrible for WCW during the 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Mark Madden is my personal least favourite. Â As far as PBP guys go, Sean Mooney was pretty bad, he just sounded bored. Eric Bischoff was not good. Some of the C-level WWE announcers in the last decade have been poor but forgettable. Â I always thought Mark Lowrance of WCCW was pretty bad as well, for that era. He just sounded like he thought he was above calling wrestling, and wouldn't take it seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RepoMan Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 My only problem with Booker, and sadly it's quite a big one, is that I can't understand what he's saying most of the time. Â On the odd occasion I get it, he's ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obama_316 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Forgot his name but the guy who did the commentry on the heroes of wrestling ppv was bad. As a regular commentry team i hated the combination of Sean Mooney and Lord Alfred Hayes. Thought they were really bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
