The real winner in all of this is Corey’s ex wife.

He is better there than ever in the WWE, and the fact they left him for backstage or the d-tier shows was awful.

Okay, but imagine Kevin Kelly and Mauro Ranallo calling Wrestle Kingdom.

And Chris Charlton. Rocky can be there too. Let's have a partay.

Also: I unironically like holy bleep as a call. It's simultaneously marking out and respecting Chuckie T.

IIRC, Mauro did the first year of AXS NJPW shows, which were re-dubbed English commentary over 2014-ish NJPW matches.

Mauro was at his best doing NJPW on AXS which is crazy considering he was with Josh Barnett. He kept the pop culture references to a minimum and didn't go so over the top on big spots.

Mauro's only been doing this for like three decades, weird coincidence how these incidents only became a recurring thing when he joined WWE. Also weird coincidence how they keep tracing back to known poo poo-stirrer assholes who get in fights with other people all the time.

He's not the most excitable guy in the world but he clearly loves the product and does his homework. After the last 15 years of WWE turning commentary into an aspect of wrestling more people would rather turn off than suffer through, Kevin Kelly is a breath of fresh air, particularly when he's in the booth with Rocky and/or Charleton.

Hugo Savinovich is one of the best announcers in all of wrestling right now. He's up there with Kevin Kelly.

Lenny Leonard is the best commentator in wrestling, this isn’t even a debate. I hate gimmicks and soundboard guys. I want a guy that sits back, drops knowledge and enjoys wrestling. That’s Lenny. He’s the best currently active.

Nah. He's got some racist brainworms though. He thought black football players taking the knee during the anthem was bad somehow
