After reading Dave's write up on the Enzo case, my first thought is that the Law and Order SVU writers got a gimme on this one.

Outside chance of getting Enzo to play himself too.

Bruce Mitchell and Todd Martin audios are very good.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Percy was just an interchangeable WWE commentator, Mauro was loving intolerable and actively made the match worse.

Can I get an example of what you guys consider a good english-speaking PBP announcer that is currently working? Because the impression I get is that you'd prefer there be no commentary, or to listen to Funaki and the other dude yell in Japanese over Gargano/Almas.

Replace 'slobberknocker' with 'mama mia' and random Southern aphorisms with references that aren't a century old and that's Mauro.

Good thing that's not really my point. JR hasn't been consistently great in about... a decade? More? Yes, he can be decent at times, and has credibility in how invested he is when a match is great, but, like, Mauro going nuts for Gargano/Almas isn't OVERselling it. It's reacting because he's a wrestling fan seeing the best match WWE has had in like 5 years, from closer than the front row. What's he supposed to do?

Besides, my original question was because the people that complain about Mauro also poo poo on JR on New Japan, poo poo on Kelly on New Japan, poo poo on whoever does ROH and TNA, and poo poo on Cole and Tom, so... like... who's left? Who is actually good?

Kelly's alright American commentary on New Japan, it's more that the Japanese commentary is so much better and preferable

Even if you want a recent example of that, them flipping out for the Golden Lovers reunion today was excellent

Him shouting cliche after cliche is just garbage and he makes nearfalls blatantly obvious. He was awful in Strikeforce but this was a new level. Kelly is pretty good, as is Callis, I imagine Nigel is still good, everyone loves Graves so don't act like no one likes any English commentators.

Nigel and Corey are both heel colour guys. Hence why I asked what people consider good play-by-play announcers. And I could have sworn I've seen you burying Kelly and Callis in the past. Maybe I'm conflating that with burying JR and Barnett.

Nigel wasn't a heel color guy in ROH, like I said I imagine he's still good, I haven't seen his work in WWE. I've thought Kelly has been pretty good for years and while I do think Barnett is bad a lot of people still like JR and his NJPW commentary.
