Mick Foley to become a commentator on Smackdown?

**NeanderCarl** · 04-25-2008, 08:32 PM

Why keep putting inexperienced guys in these high profile positions? They are doomed to failure from the get go, yet the lower tier announcers plugging away for years like Grisham, Matthews, Korpela and whoever else is employed nowadays (I don't keep track.. Marc Lloyd still around??) never get a look in, yet they've been effectively 'in training' forever.

Plus, why ring Foley who's had one commentating gig and sucked at it, when they have noted verbal maestros or at the very least experienced commentators like Michael Hayes (eventually), Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Bruce Pritchard and Teddy Long on the books. If they wanted to go outside of their own employees, they have at their disposal Jesse Ventura (who doesn't seem to be doing much nowadays and is the original colour man), Terry Funk, Raven, Joel Gertner, Don Callis, Mark Madden, Larry Zbyszko... how bout a heel Joey Styles??

In the words of Jim Cornette, it doesn't make any fucking sense.

My pick would be Raven, in the Johnny Polo gimmick.
