Is this motherfucker serious?

They don't "call wrestling." That is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time.

At this point, it doesn't look like Vince is going to be happy with any new lead announcer not named Jim Ross.

If Styles screamed somemore about nothing, or maybe fucked up people's names all the time....then he would rule.

And he doesn't say "Damn him! Damn him to hell" near enough.

They corrupted Michael Cole and got him to emulate the "Good ol' JR" method. Listen to the ways he painfully works in "HELL", "GOD" and "DAMN". It's Southern Baptist hour! Repent!

Funny thing is, I always thought JR's shitty exclamations were an attempt to emulate Styles and his "OH MY GAWD!"

Vince to Joey: You don't work WWE style!

I told you! Everyone Vince hires gets to do their thing for a month, then he tries to nueter everything about them that makes them good.

Seriously, if Benoit and Rey would leave, I'd stop watching this company altogether. No joke...

Amen, I can't believe it's gotten to this point...

I had always thought that Styles would do well in TNA. Him and Tenay together would totally rock. Plus he could take shots at the E. It'd be better than West, at least.

That wouldn't make much sense though. Tenay and Styles are both play by play guys..........you need a color guy and neither is good in that role.

Like I've said before, I was not a fan of Joey's with ECW, but I think he's been great since joining WWE.

Vince is giving me less and less of a reason to watch. Fake sex acts may be what most people want on their wrestling show, but not me. The minute anybody steps up to give WWE competition, I'll never watch again.

Tenay was actually good as a 3rd guy with Heenan and Schiavone, so I think he could pull off color.

Tenay could pull off color, but he's WAY better IMO than Styles. I just wouldn't want to compromise Teney in that way myself.......

I would normally agree on him being better than Styles, but this new stint in WWE has really impressed me.

Oh, I'm not slighting Styles. To me..........Teney has ALWAYS been great for pbp. Watch AAA When World's Collide PPV..........one of the best PPV play by play jobs I've EVER heard.

The only thing about Tenay I don't like is his strange over-excited voice. What comes to mind is "IS IT STING?!?!" (sounds like he is hyperventilating).

It just always sounds so fake from him for some reason. And West makes the dumbest fuckin faces in the world whenever they cut to the table to talk about stuff. He's just a weird dude.

I actually don't mind Tenay and West. Call me crazy, but West, despite probably having zero wrestling knowledge before being hired, sounds a lot more competant than hacks WWE hires.

I don't mind them either. I will say TNA seems to have pushed Tenay towards the entertainment side. I like him better when he is able to play hte sportscaster

Tenay is NOT Play by Play. If anything he's an analyst.

And honestly, I think the only reason WCW hired him was to call out the names of moves for Tony Schiavone, and to keep Heenan from killing Schiavone.

Is Bobby Heenan going to kill Tony Schiavone?! Tune in to Nitro tomorrow night!!

I liked Tneay on WCW Worldwide. Mostly because he would describe things about the match in between match segments. When he's doing commentary live, I can't stand him. ESPECIALLY since he joined TNA.

"GOLDILOCKS, YOU WHORE!"

That was some of the best unintentional comedy. :lol:

It was. But that's the problem. Tenay, in TNA, has taken too getting emotionally involved in the characters, to the point of taking sides. This is not what a journalist should do. Though you couldn't tell from watching ESPN.

Ahem. "HOLY SHIT IT'S VINCE RUSSO!" - Be all and end all of TNA Commentary.

I can't completely knock Vince for saying Styles is not telling the story; and I think Styles is one of the better commentators with WWE for some time now. Although calling "pro wrestling" is essentially being the narrator while the wrestlers are telling the story in the ring.

*bumped for update*

Good. I'm glad that they aren't happy. Fuck them. I'm also glad that there would be a possibility that Ross would tell them no, if they asked him to comeback....................Vince should seriously quit operating..................you know, since he hates wrestling so much?

Is it a rule that ever 5-6 years that Vince wants to get rid of J.R., isn't happy with his replacement, then goes crawling back to him?

Joey Styles now is better than J.R., but J.R. is still years ahead of every other piece of shit WWE employs. Except Mathews, but he'll never get a fair shot.

I still don't completely understand why J.R. got the boot....especially because King is a thousand times worse than he is.

J.R. isn't pretty. I didn't know MTV ran the WWE too.

Neither is Stephanie McMahon.

She used to be kinda hot. Now she's.... yikes, what the hell happend? Does Triple H have some kind of evil sperm that turns his women into men/monsters?

I think the wheels just fall off at a certain age for pretty much every wrestler....even Steph, if you want to call her a wrestler at all. Plague and I were marveling at how much Ric Flair and Triple H have aged in the last two years.

Admittedly, Stephanie McMahon has had a couple of good matches.

That better be sarcasm...............or a shitty joke.

The title change vs. Lita in 2000 and the match at NWO 2001 with Trish were pretty good by WWF's women standards. That's more than I can say for pretty much every woman WWE has employed since then other than Victoria and Trish. Molly was alright, but she was always saddled with shit/green wrestlers.

Good by WWF women's standards?

OH, I get it...........it reached a fucking star.

gotcha.

Wrong... 2-stars. :D

No chance.

Those were good matches. There aren't mant decent US women wrestler (on TV). And when there are good women wrestlers, they're not allowed to show how good they are.

I just noticed on RAW that during the breaks where the camera is on the announce team and they are supposed to put over the angles that Joey is lost. I hate to say it, because he is great during the matches. I have a solution: Sit Joey in a different place than King and Coach. For those spots, just show King and Coach. They can all still talk during the matches.

How would you work that in? Just add a side storyline?
