Charlie M. Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Most of the great teams have been mentioned so another one that I really liked was JR and Cornette. They were able to have some good banter and they were both on the same page with how they wanted to put over the action. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minus the inside jokes and they are gold Did they ever not do the inside jokes? Second the love for Tony/Crockett (that's why I put them in the title), Crockett was just so genuinely enthusiastic as a color guy that he literally colored the pretty blank palette of Tony's. So wish that Mauro was still doing NJPW with Warmaster instead of JR, but happy both of them are working at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Monsoon / Heenan Ross / Caudle Ventura / Schiavone I wold mark when Jesse would call Tony by his full name on commentary (and now to interview the winners of the match is our own NOAH ANTHONY SCHIVONIE~!!!) just like people did when Funk would refer to Chris Cruise as Crispy. Fuck all haters of Dusty Rhodes on commentary. Without him, we would not have CLUBBERIN' or PAY WINDAH as part of our collective wrestling lexicon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 All the good old school ones have been taken, so I'll go with the team of Excalibur/rotating guest commentator in PWG. I wouldn't enjoy PWG as much without their commentary, which is funny while still calling the match pretty seriously. Excalibur and Steen were awesome and Chuck Taylor has really come into his own lately. Never forget that nobody kicks out of a falcon arrow, his name is Chris Hero and he throws elbows, stiff kicks to the back are fucking unnecessary, and that El Generico is undoubtedly a big boy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never want ot hear a Monsoon/Ernie Ladd tandem ever again! Am I crazy or did Monsoon also work with Bock during his brief WWF stint? Bock worked very briefly with Gorilla on a couple of MSG shows, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Okay so I've been watching some WCW Thunder matches before shift change and Tenay / Zbyszko as the dueling scholars of pro wrestling were not entirely horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one problem I have with Excalibur is how everyone and their mothers on small indies tries to emulate his style, as well as the aforementioned Dave Prazak/rotating commentator in IWA Mid-South, of being funny, and it rarely works and winds up being fucking annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 People emulate Excalibur because he is fucking awesome and Excalibur and Larry Rivera are gold on commentary. "You might as well live on the street if you live in Texas," ranks up there with "My name is Chris Hero and I throw elbows." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I think I posted this in the PWG thread but at BOLA there was a match between Matt Sydal and John Hennigan. Either Excalibur or Taylor referred to it as a "rematch from ECW" and both just cracked up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I liked Regal and Renee in NXT. JBL & Cole were good together the first time around on Smackdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I think regardless of who was with him Regal was gold. On the OG NXT he quoted a Smiths song (I think when it was when Kaitlyn or Maxxine were coming out) and he was generally pretty good. Then in Full Sail NXT he was absolute gold. You know you loved his talks about the splendid times he had with Operaman Aiden English. I like him as GM, but man do I miss him on commentary.

Ross/Heyman was an excellent change of pace and never failed to entertain. Monsoon/Heenan and Monsoon/Ventura are the greatest ever, of course I have the same three picks. I was so disappointed when Heyman was "fired" and Lawler returned. What a downgrade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regal was pretty big in getting English and Bayley over originally. The whole "She's my niece's favorite daughter!" bit was an incredibly effective way to define her character early on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
