I would say the State of the Announce Table has never been as terrible as it has now. I mean the current WWE announcers are not too interesting and actually distract me from the matches completely. I start hearing them babble about something and I totally lose focus on the match. The NWA: TNA announcers need to lay off the speed. The act as if every little thing is the end of the freaking world. Not too mention I'm sick and tired of every move without a name being called a senton!

JR & The King - Now these two are absolutely brutal. They used to be the bomb but nowadays they suck. They are the "shockmaster of the announce table". I find The King so redundant. PUPPIES! And how many ****ing times is he going to ask how long Stacy Keibler's legs are? These two actually distract me from the actual match because of thier horrible commentating where they wander off topic. I have to mute the TV in order to enjoy the match. Otherwise thier mindless ramblings make me space out.

Tazz & Cole - These two haven't been too bad. They have been better but lately it looks like Tazz is attempting to be the announcer who always takes the heels side during matches and he just is not too good at it. Tazz is still hilarious neverless and Cole is pretty good at what he does. So I don't really have too much beef with them.

Tenay & West - I like Tenay's informative lessons on the history of wrestling and the wrestlers but when it comes to announcing and trying to sell angles, wrestlers or whatever he's not too good. Don West does not really impress me at all. He is the worst for over selling. He acts like aliens just invaded and crucified Bush Jr. on every occasion. I also hate how they call moves without names 'Senton'. I swear to God that they have given 50 different moves the same name. Could you be any more uncreative?

DeMott & Mathews - Mathews is a bigger dork than Cole could ever dream of being. Mathews does a good job calling the matches though. He just needs to lose the dorkiness and the occasional wandering completely off topic. DeMott sometimes makes me laugh because of his simple thinking and literal interpretations. Another good aspect of this announcing team is the 'DeMott Turning Points' or whatever it is called.

Snow & Coach - Why has The Coach been given a bigger push than RVD, Storm, Hardy, O'Haire, Dragon, London and I could go on AND ON! I can't believe he's on the Backlash card when Lance Storm is not. Its Canada, Storm will easily get a huge reaction not to mention a well-deserved push. I hope Tajiri kicks his head in.

Well, that was a huge rant and alot of bitching & moaning. Finally got that off my chest. How do you guys feel about the current announcing table scene? Do you like it? or Do you not like it?
