He was well received (Williams gif) during his Collision sub run whilst Kevin Kelly was possibly announcing Wrestle Kingdom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted March 7 Paid Members Share Posted March 7 Just comes across as a genuinely enthusiastic announcer, not soured by years of working with people he obviously can't stand or going through the motions to collect a pay cheque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sad if he's gone. Yep, at the start of Collision I couldn't have imagined a world where I'd be defending Kevin Kelly, but that trio has really found its groove lately and I would be a bit sad if it's broken up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted March 7 Paid Members Share Posted March 7 He's just about alright as an announcer if you grade on a curve in the current landscape, where almost everyone is shite, but the man is an absolute pipe. I won't shed a tear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted March 7 Paid Members Share Posted March 7 (edited) Kevin Kelly only felt improved because they replaced him on lead with Schiavone. Once Big Tone and Nigel started gelling, Kelly was just sort of there to fill in the gaps. I won’t miss him at all. At worst, they’ll keep it as a two man booth and Tony and Nigel can continue being great together. At best, they’ll insist on it being a three-man team and we’ll see the return of the Ricca-bone-zone. Edited March 8 by Supremo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JLM Posted March 7 Paid Members Share Posted March 7 As much as Kelly has settled into the role in my opinion (and was particularly good in the recent Akiyama and Nagata appearances) I would without question take a trip to the Riccabone Zone over him, no argument there.

Paid Members FLips Posted March 7 Paid Members Share Posted March 7 Never liked Kevin Kelly. He grated on me back in his WWF days and was only good as the butt of The Rock's jokes. A complete dweeb that never had the on-air presence and/or commentary ability of any of his peers in any major company he's worked for.

Can see it being Nigel and Tony with JR out for the main events again. Ross just signed the extension and back to making appearances.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69MeDon Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Kelly was just absolute garbage when he was lead PBP on Collision. It was like he'd never watched the product and didn't care to learn anything prior to Collision starting. Once Tony S became lead PBP, I could tolerate Kelly a lot more, but I won't miss him - especially given his wackadoo QAnon shite. Get Daddy Magic doing commentary more frequently, alongside Tony and Nigel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted March 8 Paid Members Share Posted March 8 He likely won’t be out of work for long. Seems Kevin will fit like a glove with the QAnon nutcases in NXT.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
