[King Mal the Glorious]

The Sailing Superstar sounds like something they'd have pitched for "yacht persona" Kairi Sane

Mooney very much crawled so that Michael Cole at his "bag of soundbytes" worst could run. "It's Boss time" was nearly single-handedly responsible for me switching to watching WWE on mute.

2006 DX is the nadir of all North American professional wrestling. Sincerely, I can't think of a worse idea and execution. They both should be in fucking jail.

I had to edit this post to include a REMEMBER THA?? about their appearance at the Network launch. Just the dogshit worst pair of bastards going.

Pair of shitehawks. Have been employed by every major wrestling company in the States and in New Japan over the last 10 years and they are absolute dross. Never had a good match, the only decent thing ever was that persona Gallows used to do online as Sex Ferguson. Criminal they are still employed by WWE.

Part of me respects the fact they've managed to get hired all over the place on such little talent. It gives us all hope.

Yeah I'm like this with those two. I admire the grift and the graft to keep those paydays coming. 

[The Gaffer]

I'm guessing Gallows and Anderson get long stints due to being reliable sort of all-round mechanics. 

They'll do the job, they're always on time, you can probably throw them on a house show with anyone at short notice and they'll be able to call it in the ring. Good heads for the business and all that. Just not in any way that translated to anything meaningfully entertaining for those of us on the other side of the screen. 

There's definitely an argument to be made for the other stuff, though. Road glue.

Very much old school (as usual) but my god the pairing of Sean Mooney and Lord Alfred Hayes on those old Silvervision tapes was the worst commentating. 

Alfred was shit. Even as a kid I thought, ‘this guy is rubbish! His accent is weird and he looks really strange.’

[Cousin Jim Bob]

The best thing about Lord Alfred Hayes is Wrestle Me reacting to him in early Wrestlemanias.

When you start treating him like an absolutely ridiculous comedy character everything he does starts becoming extremely funny.

Cesaro managed by Paul Heyman from the night after he won the inaugural Andre Battle Royal at Mania 30, didn’t do anything for either man

Stephanie mcmahon and Chris Jericho was pretty bad. Test and Albert, Albert and Scotty to hotty

I do wonder how differently Cody’s AEW run would have gone if not for Brandi. To be fair on her, she wasn’t a bad promo 

You’re right, she was a TERRIBLE PROMO. In fact, I’m struggling to think of anyone who stunk on the mic more (Marina, but she’s had a couple of promos, Brandi had loads) in AEW. Here’s but one of those. 

 

 

As to worst duos, no one wanted this 

 

Dawn Marie and Al Wilson. Jesus Christ!

It did lead to one of the funniest web pages in the world though; https://prowrestling.fandom.com/wiki/Al_Wilson

I think the use of 'in response' might be my favourite example of the written language I've ever seen.

Another winner. “Fuck me, the crowd were really into Cesaro, weren’t they? Nah, fuck them and fuck Cesaro. Put him with Paul, make sure they know we don’t give a shit, he’s still a heel. Double down and make his next feud the returning RVD just to make sure.”

Imagine, they split up Cesaro & Swagger and didn’t let either turn face. Says something.

[garynysmon]

Love me some Roddy Piper but while he was over big style as a heel commentator with Crockett, I absoloutely despise his early 90’s run on mainly WWF Superstars commentary.

Him and McMahon brought out the worse out of each other. Rotten stuff and annoying as hell.

GBH of the ears.
