I would love to know how this dork thinks this will happen. He's already in the top unit in the company, he's probably going to win the triple crown from Eddie at Dynasty, and he is absolutely guaranteed to win the world title at some point in the next 2 years or so

We're probably going to get Okada/Omega at Wembley and that's gonna draw so much money it's insane

It's OK if the commentator guy doesn't know who everyone is

Also AEW sucks because they don't spend enough time telling you who everyone is

As someone who actually liked Kelly's work in New Japan (though I'm turning around on the idea that it was more Charlton/Rocky/Gino carrying the booth) the idea of Kevin being the best AEW play by play guy cause of his work on Collision is crazy cause it just...wasn't that good for US TV. And even if it was him threatening to sue another employee is 100% justifiable grounds to be fired

Wish CYN was still around cause Kelly would 100% fit in there but perhaps the second best fate is being in NWA and doing Best Mode calls like his Destino call

Thinking Kelly is the best commentator in AEW is like thinking Moxley is the worst wrestler, an opinion I simply cannot accept as sincere.

He came third in the observer awards for best commentator this last year. I'm not even kidding.

BEST TELEVISION ANNOUNCER

1. EXCALIBUR 183

2. Ian Riccaboni 139

3. Kevin Kelly 137

Yes only 2 people thought Ian was better and that's still over 66% of the vote Excalibur got.

I think we're all really underestimating how over Kevin is with the "uncles who repeat the same joke every time the same thing happens" demo. They're very influential in the IWC. Just thousands laughing and wiping tears from their eyes as Kevin reminds them of all the times they also said "That's my purse, I don't know you"

This is based solely on clips posted here and in botchamania, but as bad as Kelly is, he’s still better than anyone in the WWE. He actually sounds like a human being sometimes, not a soundboard of catchphrases.

I feel like a lot of them had to vote him out of habit, because couldn't think of anyone else being particularly great.

Even then a crazy number.

He also got only 36 votes for the worst announcer (still second worst of AEW behind JR) and was sixth overall.
