I imagine most people have seen this but it's (mildly NSFW) audio of just Cole's side of a conversation between him and Vince: One can imagine the sort of response he's getting. It was enough to make Mick Foley walk away from money in 2008.Thats some biblical shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Milano Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 16 hours ago, jazzygeofferz said: Bob Caudle is often overlooked. I see him more as an interviewer from my experience of his work, but he could certainly hold his own on commentary as well. Caudle and Dutch Mantel were great together in Smoky Mountain Wrestling. I'n fact without hesitation, ahead of Venture, ahead of Heenan, I'd say Mantel is the greatest colour commentator I've ever seen In regards to Worst Commentator, just be grateful you've never heard Rob Feinstein commentating for Jersey All Pro Wrestling in 2001. A slew of sexual comments mixed in with unfunny "jokes" that only he seems to find funny and a fair bit of homophobia. Makes the matches practically unwatchable as he tries to make it more about him than the wrestlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancidPunx Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Shane Douglas was excellent doing colour for ECW at Heat Wave 98 and also in late 99 for WCW. At that point he was a better commentator than he was in the ring .... If WCW and ECW hadn’t gone under in 2001 I wonder if he would have transitioned to that role full time ?

Sheffbag Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Rhodes / Madden / Mongo Nitro's commentary team had some real duff ones over the years but not sure about Zby"NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAILED HIM"sko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherCrapUsername Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 One of the most under rated commentators of all time is the UKFF’s own @andrew "the ref" coyne He was great during his time over here, is fucking magnificent at MCW in Australia and I’m genuinely shocked that he hasn’t in the very least had a tryout with a major company.

Pinc Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I don't watch very much AEW but I tuned in to a couple of shows last year with Jericho on commentary and he was dreadful. Seemed to think he had to comment on every little thing that happened without dropping his heel character, but just didn't have the quickness of mind to pull it off. It was a really tough watch.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted February 5, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted February 5, 2021 Jericho was good when it was just him and Tony Schiavone during those dodgy Georgia warehouse shows but he's been pretty rubbish when he's with JR, Excalibur and Tony since then.

Fanny Pack Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Obligatory Chet Lemon and Black Snow mention. Ive only ever watched that episode of Impact once and 22 year old me thought it was hysterical. I dread to think what 33 year old me makes of it. I used to enjoy JR and Cornette on Raw back in the day- admittedly they were/are both ultra serious but 1998 was a serious time god dammit.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 8, 2021 Moderators Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) So the ones I said are still the best then? Ace. What about surreal teams? Mike McGuirk, Bruce Prichard and Pete Doherty from the Boston Garden in 87 or so has to be up there, as does Tom Prichard, Terry Taylor and Gorilla Monsoon from Superstars in 98. Oooh,here's one. Angry Mike Tenay on Worldwide in 2000. Especially when it was him and Scott Hudson calling Him and Scott Hudson the internet commentary team when they were in sight of the camera when it was Thunder footage. UK Worldwide tapes had great odd commentary. From Steven Regal commentating on his own matches in 1994 and claiming he was checking the canvas for dirt, Armando Quintero in 1999 acting like Cheech Marin, Larry Z the same year on C5 seeming even more bored than usual unless the Blue Bloods appeared who "Eat tea and sip Cumprets. The Big un from Wigan, Steve Regal!!!" to Angry Mike Tenay, the UK episodes of Worldwide always had marvellous "ah, fuck it anyway let's have a laugh" commentary. Historically on two occasions probably the biggest reach they ever had, far more than TNT, and it was spent pissing about. Pure WCW.

RoryFice Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Monsoon/Ventura and Monsoon/Heenan were largely great. While Monsoon eventually seemed a bit of out place when the other two above had left in the mid 90s, it boggles the mind that he was winning the worst commentator award in the observer regularly in the 90s. JR/King were probably the most recent WWE duo that were iconic for a while, although they too perhaps diminished over time. I'm struggling to pinpoint exactly when Michael Cole went from being ok to unbearable. Perhaps after his feud with Lawler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavigatorFan Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Lord Alfred Hayes and Sean Mooney had great chemistry together I always thought and they made the WWF Wrestling Grudge Matches VHS about a thousand times better than it would have been without them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
