I only saw Okada vs Omega. In that match, I thought Corino and Kelly were just fucking horrendous. Don't get me wrong, even them being horrendous was better than what we here on WWE these days, but my standards aren't so shit that I accept what they offered.
They sound like they've never heard other sports being commentated. Kelly in particular is supposed to be a play-by-play and there needs to be some kind of cadence. Instead, they sound like a couple of smarky wrassling teachers trying to talk about how a match should be "worked". It honestly felt like I was watching figure skating. The 2 guys were not "in character" at all, they were just 2 fans watching a match and clearly pretending it was real. We all know it's fixed, but it's not a lie if you believe it. Either call the match like it's real or dont' call it at all. No energy, so fucking bland and talking about the match like they were smarks. Really disappointing.
Jim Ross is the same when he calls in Japan. I guess the guys think they have the day off or something. Plus JR is obviously way older now and it's hard to remain as focused as a pbp.
