Woah Nicky Fives... didn't even read yours. Good picks, son.

Jayman's answer, but instead of McMahon, sub in Jesse Ventura

oh, yea, I didn't read Nicky Fives either. basicaly his then

edit: And Neandercarl right above me. lol

Ring: (Iforget his name) The announcer in the original ECW, he also worked the One Night Stand PPV in 2006.

Backstage: Mean Gene

Booth: JR & Bobby Heenan (RAW Matches), Gorilla Monsoon & The Body (Smackdown Matches)

Ring: Gary Michael Capetta. Lol he has to announce Ric Flair even if he isn't in it.

Backstage: Mean Gene

CC/PBP: Heenen and Gorilla. Solie and Russell are horribly over-rated.

Backstage: Michael Cole
Booth: Jerry Lawler, Jim Ross, & Matt Striker
Ring: Howard Finkel

Wanted to post some predictions too:

The Big Show & The Miz retain.
Randy Orton beats Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase.
Rey Mysterio goes over CM Punk.
Bret Hart goes over Vince McMahon.
Chris Jericho retains. Feud continues, and Edge wins the next two matches.
Sheamus goes over Triple-H.
Shawn Michaels passes out while in the Hell’s submission.
Christian wins Money In The Bank.
John Cena goes over Batista.

Ring: Gary Capetta

Backstage: Mean Gene Okerland and Gordon Solie

Play by Play: Gorilla Monsoon and Joey Styles

Color Commentary: Bobby Heenan and Dusty Rhodes

Ring: Howard Finkel
Backstage: Matt Striker -- I love the way he asks all the hard questions
Commentary: Jim Ross & Bobby Heenan -- I think these two would have had amazing chemistry

Any dream team IMO would have to include Paul Heyman. During his brief stint announcing for WWF while Lawler was absent, he absolutely won my heart over, and listening to him square off with JR was always a highlight to every show.

I'd say my dream team would have to be Ross and Heyman.

[/thread]

Commentary: Joey Styles, Matt Striker, King and JR.
Backstage: Mean Gene Okerlund & Michael Cole (hey, someone has to get made fun of)
Ring: Howard Finkel

Commentary: Styles/Striker Smackdown, JR/Heenan Raw. Throw Heyman in there somewhere too.
Backstage interviewer: Mean Gene for the serious stuff, Michael Cole to get made fun of
Ring: The Fink

lol.... thank you both....

They did.

They were no Heenan/Monsoon or Heenan/McMahon though.

did they only work Mania 9 together? I don't remember if they were on any more PPV's together in 93

King of the Ring... plus the TV shows, UK Rampage '93, Coliseum Videos etc.

According to the current Torch Newsletter, both Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker want Jim Ross to call their match at WrestleMania. JR noted on his blog that he’s signed another deal with WWE beyond WrestleMania.

Bye, Michael Cole. Hello, JR. Keeping Matt Striker and Todd Grisham on SmackDown together and putting JR back on RAW with Jerry Lawler would be perfect. Granted they have their moments, King & JR have called the best matches in my years of being a fan and will always be my favorite announcers and the voices of wrestling to me.
