Not only did Bruce not really bring anything to the table, he is really really bad at speaking so listening to him was a chore.

Dave usually comes off as a robot filled with pro wrestling knowledge, but whenever he comes out and cracks jokes or buries a guy, it's completely amazing.

West was only the worst announcer of all time until the rise of heel Michael Cole, much like Gaddafi was the worst terrorist of all time in a pre-9/11 world. The good stuff he did afterwards, plus the fact that we since learned it could in fact get a hell of a lot worse, have more than redeemed him in my eyes.

That's a good analogy, but I've heard Cole do really well when he doesn't have Vince or Kevin Dunn screaming in his ear, whereas all I have for Don West is his endless goddamn shouting about whatever the gently caress. He and Tenay were awful and incapable of shutting up.

I think West and Tenay could have been a much better announce pair if they didn't have the poo poo to work with that Samoa Joe getting kidnapped by ninjas and Rellik.

Cole has never been a good announcer and he's been at it for, what, fourteen or fifteen years now? There's room for him as a personality but it's really amazing that Vince still thinks the guy is the future when he's both bad and beyond stale.

Karmine posted:Vince is a delusional maniac hth The announcing is probably the one thing that will improve substantially when Vince steps away or kicks it, because there's ample evidence that the announcing problems that manifest in Cole are entirely Vince and Kevin Dunn while Triple H's model announcer is JR with less heavy producing.

I think the really tragic thing about this is that, while I wouldn't say Cole is a very good announcer under any circumstances, he's still the best active one they have right now, at least when it comes to being a competent broadcaster. Unfortunately, what this means is that he can talk circles around anyone he's sharing the announce table with, and because he's using his powers for evil, that allows him to hurt the product to a degree that he wouldn't be able to if he was just plain incompetent like almost everybody else.

This is assuming that HHH will veer from his current path of shoehorning his over-the-hill friends into the product when he takes over the company.

Finally got around to joining Figure 4, and it as definitely been worth it just for getting to listen to the two most recent shows while at work. Plus the Photoshop thread of Lance Storm was worth getting on the Board as well. Just wanted to thank everyone in this thread that have repeatedly encouraged anyone to get a subscription.
