Adamle in trouble? *ECW Spoiler*

I am not sure what this means but at the end of tonight's ECW taping (the show was taped before Smackdown in Atlantic City) Mike Adamle got up and left the announce position before calling the main event. I just got a report that he walked away from the announce position. Since I am away on vacation, I can't add anything else to it than that.

Mr. Nerfect 04-29-2008 09:21 PM

Wow. I almost feel sorry for the guy. He was put in a position he was not ready for, and while Lance Storm's recent column on the guy is correct (he should have immersed himself in the product when he was signed), it was irresponsible for whoever made the call to put him out there to do so.

It could be argued that Adamle is so bad that he's good, but the joke has worn off now. Can we please get Josh Mathews in the position now? The WWE seems to be cracking down on crappy commentary, and actually putting compotent people in the positions now. Mathews is probably the most underused commentator in WWE history. At least in modern times.

Now if only we could do something about Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler. Say, replacing them with Joey Styles and JBL?

Mr. Nerfect 04-29-2008 09:22 PM

Why do I get the feeling that if Adamle gets the sack, Todd Grisham will be moved to ECW? Or Timmy Baltimore will get the slot? I haven't heard any of Baltimore's work, so I can't comment on him, but Mathews and Tazz would be a damn good team.

KingofOldSchool 04-29-2008 09:27 PM

Hopefully he shoots on the company like Styles did a couple of years back.

I hate the way the WW put me in a position where Joelly Styles had big shoes to fill. Vin Mann were not Jamaican sense over the headset, either. I only found out after the event that a dropping kick was not called an elevated dick.

An update

Quote:

Right before Kane was introduced, Mike Adamle abruptly left the broadcast position. Tazz got up and looked confused. He went to sit back down, but after a moment or so, got up and left as well. There are currently no commentators during the main event.

Innovator 04-29-2008 09:32 PM

This could be awesome to watch

Hopefully The Tazz made fun of him

Mr. Nerfect 04-29-2008 09:35 PM

I am a Kane mark, but watching Kane and Bam Neeley in the ring together with no commentators...fuck. But this seems to be going somewhere.

KingofOldSchool 04-29-2008 09:36 PM

"I'm not good enough to call Wrestlerumble? I'm not good enough to call...WRESTLE-RUMBLE?!?!!?"

KingofOldSchool 04-29-2008 09:37 PM

I also heard that Chuck Fucking Palumbo owned Punk at the taping.

Innovator 04-29-2008 09:40 PM

CM Punk defeated Chuck Palumbo via DQ when Palumbo refused to back out of Punk's corner. Post match, Punk & Palumbo fought, Punk hit his knee in the corner, then went for the bulldog, but Palumbo just tossed Punk.
------------------------------

Probably sets up a match next week or on Smackdown

Mr. Nerfect 04-29-2008 09:40 PM

Yeah, just sounds like a feud to put Punk over, if you ask me.

Mr. Nerfect 04-29-2008 09:41 PM

CM Punk doing the occasional commentary on SmackDown! with Michael Cole and Mick Foley would be tremendous, by the way.

KingofOldSchool 04-29-2008 09:43 PM

But what the fuck has Palumbo done to warrant being able to even get 2 minutes of offense in on Mr. MiTb?

Ruien 04-29-2008 10:01 PM

Here is to hoping Mike Adamle was truely not this bad. Hopefully it was a storyline that no one knew of, or after his first 2 apperances before he got settled down they decided to turn it into one.

dablackguy 04-29-2008 11:12 PM

I heard a rumor that they're gonna make him lead announcer on RAW

dablackguy 04-29-2008 11:13 PM

and by heard, I meant made up.

Seriously, I don't think they'd fire him this quickly

SammyG 04-29-2008 11:20 PM

lol @ anything Mike Adamle does

HeartBreakMan2k 04-29-2008 11:23 PM

Just curious if my mind made this up to further cement Adamle's horribleness, did he call Delaney "Calvin"?

And yeah, I don't give a shit if i messed up his last name.

And more from WWE.com

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – Tuesday night, ECW announcers Mike Adamle and Tazz removed their headsets and left the broadcast position before the conclusion of ECW on Sci Fi. The event occurred just prior to the evening’s main event Handicap Match, featuring ECW Champion Kane and Chavo Guerrero with Bam Neely.

Adamle and Tazz reportedly exited the arena and marched straight to the parking lot. Adamle was said to look shocked and expressionless as he left.

WWE Superstars were shocked by this unprecedented occurrence. Calls and texts to both Adamle and Tazz have gone unanswered.

It has been no secret that our traditional ECW fans have not been satisfied with Adamle’s lackluster commentary. Speculation is this could have led to the play by play and color commentator walking off during a WWE broadcast. Did Adamle and Tazz leave of their own volition or were they asked to leave?

WWE.com will attempt to get exclusive video interviews from WWE Superstars about this situation and post them as soon as possible. Stay logged on to WWE.com to learn more about this shocking development.

Everyone I see making an Adamle reference is getting rep (For those of you whore care about reP).

Volchok 04-30-2008 12:02 AM

lol

Volchok 04-30-2008 12:02 AM

lol at wwe.com too.

Jura 04-30-2008 12:07 AM

I think he left because he had just heard that the McRib is back.

Wow. If this is kayfabe (which it seems all the world to be), then it's pretty awesome on WWE's part. Acknowledging Adamle's horribleness (which admittedly has worn off as being funny).

But why would Tazz walk off as well? I'm confused. :?:

Vastardikai 04-30-2008 12:31 AM

I'd like to see, in a tag team match: Joey Styles and Tommy Dreamer vs. Mike Adamle and Gemini.

Mr. Nerfect 04-30-2008 12:43 AM

This could be interesting. By "could be interesting," I of course mean the WWE will fuck it up.

SammyG 04-30-2008 12:49 AM

lol yeah, I wanna know what happenned.

This is all Joey Styles getting hits on wwe.com.

Splaya 04-30-2008 12:59 AM

This has been a fucked up storyline week for the WWE

TerranRich 04-30-2008 01:31 AM

I still don't get what Tazz has to do with anything, i.e. why he walked out. Taking Adamle's side? I'd hardly think so.

The Mackem 04-30-2008 02:09 AM

Maybe he got scared and fled.

Londoner 04-30-2008 02:34 AM

lol hahaha So glad this has happened, Adamle should never of been chucked into such a position. Stupid over payed cunt. This has been a bizarre week for wwe. Ofcourse, this might just be a storyline.

TerranRich 04-30-2008 02:41 AM

This is definitely a storyline. No question about it. Especially considering how quickly WWE.com picked up on it and is back in full swing as a separate news entity from WWE the wrestling company, somehow. This has Joey Styles written all over it.

Dave Youell 04-30-2008 04:06 AM

Bravo!

BRAVO!!!!!

All 3 TV’s this week have me interested in watching, I never normally have the motivation to watch 5 hours of WWE TV as I find it mostly depressing, but this week has been really interesting. If this is Joey’s work, which most people seem to think he must have had a hand in, well done to Joey, if he can keep this up he might get to pitch more idea’s like this in the future, it’s a great way to stir up interest in the WWE product and also the website, which is his job at the end of the day, so he’s helping himself 2 fold.

I’m loving this so far, I just hope that they can keep this up

Hanso Amore 04-30-2008 06:58 AM

In a scripted sport, its good to have people wonderign what is going to happen, never know what to expect.

Did they finally realize this>?

dablackguy 04-30-2008 10:49 AM

Is that an Adamle heel turn I see coming.......?
