ahahaha.. He's one of my favorite wrestlers that I never got to see actually wrestle on tv.. I mean i've seen tons of matches with him but i was too young to watch him in his prime on tv. I'm actually curious to hear more stories about him.

Del Rio is an odd case of seeming to have a ton of charisma but being completely boring on the mic.
I remember when he debuted, I thought he was pretty great during his first few promos. Then they slowly became the formulaic bore-fests that they are today. |

JBL is not slightly better on the mic than Del Rio. JBL is ridiculously better on the mic than Del Rio. They're like night and day.

true.. true.. i just like JBL as a commentator more and JBL should take Booker's spot and Booker should go back to doing spinarooni's and scissor kicks in the ring not that he's a bad announcer or anything.

I think Cole had re-energized his career by going heel. It could be wearing off now though. Not like he was really ever a traditional PBP guy anyways.
I think they should go back to the three person team for both shows. Have Jerry and Cole bitch at each other and Josh or Matt Striker can call the matches. |

Jerry needs the boot. So stale. And only he laughs at his own,little quips. I assume he hired Bruce vilanch to sit back stage and feed him corny one liners...

i hate his voice, his reaction to the match, and his commentary. He sounds like some asian school girl getting fucked when he makes his like ooof and ughh reactions. I remember when somebody on RAW beat him up.. but i forget who... hmmm..

King in the 90's was one of the best heel mic workers you could have asked for. The guy knew how to push exactly the right button to get somebody so pissed off, they were ready to jump the railing. I know a lot of people don't like him as a face, but I don't mind him much these days. A good Lawler scream during a match is always fun.

It was, and truthfully, the Piper thing is a key part of what made King a perfect heel in the 90's. There's something instantly satisfying about seeing a chickenshit, loudmouth heel like Lawler start with someone, then get their ass kicked. It's worked from day one in pro wrestling, and Lawler just excelled at it.

Actually, the Dudley Boys are underrated with their mic skills. These guys knew how to draw heat unlike anybody I've ever seen.

Oh yeah, Bully Ray gets busy on the mic. One of my favorites of today.

D-Von can go fuck himself, though. Testify.

I don't remember D-Von ever really doing a ton of talking when they were a team, and it's pretty obvious why now when you see them on their own.

He didn't, but he announced the Three Dudley Commandments (not really catchy, but was a good part of their character in the beginning of their WWF career), and,"Oh Brutha, TESTIFY!" Truthfully, though, Bubba's the real mouthpiece, even when he was stuttering.

I think you're on the money with your point about Bully's accent. He comes off so believable in his promos. He doesn't have to ham it up and play a character that he's clearly not. He looks and sounds the part. I feel like his current character is probably pretty close to him in real life, just amped up a bit...which is a lot more than we could say for Bubba Ray Dudley.

His promos actually put most of those in WWE to shame. People in WWE talk sssslow and are hammed up too much on the mic, giving off a feeling that they're having to think hard to remember what was written on the script. I guess WWE management scares their people so much that they dare not go off of it. TNA, however, you can tell gives them some breathing room, which may have hurt them at times, but may end up saving them in the end. It just comes naturally to Bully, and you notice people do have an easier time talking if it is close to their true character. I think TNA will give him more freedom to do it eventually.

My personal favorite was Scott Steiner in the nWo days. With Buff Bagwell, they said some funny shit! Ripping on Ric Flair, and Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Reeves were fucking golden.
