Anybody remember this guy? It's Brother Love doing a Dusty Rhodes impression. Who are some of the other short lived gimmick announcers that may have been forgotten?

How can you not remember his work with The Tazz, calling great matches featuring the Samoan Bulldog Umaga and Jeff Harvey?

Who was the "Wizard" guy or whatever the fuck?

He was one of the revolving door of announcers for the late 80's/early 90's weekend show with the shit timeslot. You know, like ECW Hardcore TV, just WWF, and more than one guy hosting.

Done in overdubs and you would NEVER see them short of that intro segment like the one Rollermacka posted. I remember part of his gimmick, however, was that he was NEVER on camera, and there were a couple of jokes made to that point, such as how weird he looks or how ridiculous he's dressed.

I think the Wizard fella is Bruce Pritchard, correct me if I'm wrong.

Shane McMahon shouldn't count for 2 reasons:

1) He was the heel commentator on Raw for awhile... (always singing the prases of his "Pops"). before he branched out into managing and working matches.

2) He's Shane fucking McMahon! He's a gorram legend.

it was 1991, around the same time Bret started working singles. And it was during this time that Jim started dressing like a Taxi Cab.

Ted DiBiase (Sr.) was an announcer for a while when he was leading the Million $ Corp.
