Who do you think was the best commentary team?
I have only been watching since 1998 (and not to much recently) but I would have to say
Jim Ross and Paul Heyman had to be the best i have seen. They are polar opposites also just the new smarkish perspective Heyman brought was quite awesome. |

Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan or J.R and Jerry Lawler (until about 2000)
Used to really like Tony Schiavone and Jesse Ventura on Worldwide as well |

Seriously, anyone who ever lived as a wrestling fan while these guys were doing their thing and give any other answer to this question should be sterilized to keep their genes from infecting the rest of society.

I would have to say without a doubt..... Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby The Brain Heenan.
Close ones..... Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse "The Body" Ventura Also Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler when Lawler was a true heel in the early days of Monday Night RAW and he would break away from commentary to go harass and degrade Stu and Helen Hart. That was some of the funniest crap ever lol. |

Honestly Joey Styles and Gertner and Joey and Cyrus were just over the top and ridiculous...and I mean even for wrestling standards. I realize ECW was the "cool" brand in it's day but the commentating was fucked and does not even hold a candle to Gorilla and Bobby. Heenan was over the top but to genius like levels, and Gorilla played it straight.

I personally always hated how Monsoon would treat the viewer like a bunch of ignorant kids. I know that it was the style of everything wrestling related back then but I always thought, "c'mon! Get off Hogan's jock!" (just not in those words) Also, the Wrestling Observer made him Worst Television Announcer from 91-95 (5 consecutive years) and also in 85 (6 combined).
Personally, I prefer Gordon Solie alone to any "team" of announcers. |

Gorilla and Heenan - don't know how many times I've mentioned that in the past.
Anyone who doesn't think that most likely has had either limited or no exposure to this pairing and if you are a true die-hard wrestling fan I would encourage you to watch some vintage stuff. |

Actually, he did very few events. Like a PPV or two. The Observer either splits at some point mid-year the period for which one can win an award or they thought those few shows were bad enough for him to get the award for worst television commentator.
