If you don't know Japanese it sounds real exciting in the same way that if you don't know english Kevin Kelly yelling DESTINO is exciting. idk why people prefer Japanese commentary when they don't speak the language other than can zone out commentary during a match and only hear people being excited

Most wrestling commentary is very bad so

I really hate it when he goes "uh-oh".
Schivone leading the team on Collision has helped with commentary IMMENSLY but gently caress may, Kevin Kelly sucks.

You see all the colors.
All of them.


Kevin Kelly was helped a lot in New Japan by his co-commentators being a rotation of people worse at it than him and also Rocky sometimes when he wasn't out of breath from doing forever clotheslines. Once Charlton outgrew him he was cooked and he knew it.

Counter, calling out move names is the best part of commentary

LARIATOOOOO

also the pained glottal stop thing the female TJPW commentator does when something looks extra traumatizing

I personally listen to English comms when I can (Akki/Brookes is a stellar pair) but there's definitely a charm to it (or maybe there's just more visceral enjoyment from AHHHH! than OH MY GOD!)

My chief problem with Kevin Kelly is that he sounds just enough like Ian Riccabonni that my first thought is always "I wish this was Ian Riccabonni"

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.

The thing about Kevin Kelly is that he is dweeb.

Nerds at least have passion for something. Even if being really into boutique releases of new Laserdiscs isn't a sexy or possibly even real topic, I could probably have a decent conversation with them on their topic if they are genuinely into it for love of the game. Some nerds could be jocks if the focus of their passion was slightly different, and jocks have to be nerds towards their sport to succeed. Some nerds indeed do direct their focus to exercise and get jacked.

While being a dweeb is a mindset, have you ever seen a jacked dweeb?

Kevin Kelly can step in for Tony Schiavone as the announcer everyone kinda roasts, except everyone can push the insults to 11 now. That is what TK is excited for in 2024.

Edit: I'd say Beepie Jr (no relation) is more of a doofus than a dweeb

Bring back Marvez if you need an announcer to dunk on. Send Kevin Kelly to interview Timmy and the bottom of the well and leave him there

No one else elevates getting roasted the way Tony does, he has the ideal mix of self deprecation and cranky energy to play off of it

Anyone else playing that role wouldn't bring the fun to it

There would be so many fun ways to create a semi-hostile, but not really legally actionable, work environment for ol KK. The sky is the limit if you use your imagination so please never limit yourself.

I don't think KK can deal with being the butt of the joke like Schiavone often is. He's really awkward when someone is like that with him.

Holy poo poo, you maybe right. There have been at least 6 successful angles that boil down to young wrestler and older wrestler father figure.

I forgot about Christian-Jungle Boy, make that 7 popular angles. If we consider Glock Anderson - Cody that is 8. Really the only one that didn't get over was Anderson-Wardlow.
