FROM WWE.COM- Joey Styles spotted backstage at Taboo Tuesday Nov. 1, 2005 Joey Styles, the voice of ECW, arrived at 1:45 p.m. ET to San Diego's IpayOne Center at the Sports Arena via limousine. Styles was immediately taken behind closed doors, but agreed to do an interview WWE.com as soon as his meeting with WWE officials is over. -------------------- could he be the new voice of RAW? |

Well done!
Posted this about the same time as you, i was waiting for the photo to come round again so i could right click on it so you beat me to it! Yes i think he's the next announcer and personally i think he'll be an awesome announcer for the WWE.

They'll probably have Batista beat Coach and then have Vince say that JR is never coming back. Then the ECW music hits and Vince announces that Styles is the new head announcer of RAW.

Provided Joey Styles does commentary (he IS under contract) for WWE, I might actually start watching whatever show he does it for.

Easily one of the best play by play men the business has ever had. Styles can call all the moves (or make up believable names if he can't) and never lose pace with the match. Gives a ton of credibility to whatever product he is a part of.

Didn't Styles say that he hated WWE at one time and that he did ONS just for that night?
Or am I thinking of someone totaly different?

Joey hasn't had a whole lot of nice things to say about WWE over the years, but he is currently signed to some sort of contract (the details of which I am unsure of)...but my understanding is he might do some kind of online commentary or something.

From what I heard, Styles signed a contract only to do ECW voice overs for DVDs and 24/7. However, since it seems to be an exclusive contract (as he was prevented from working his own PPV) there may be more to it than that.

I would love to see him be an announcer on Raw but it'll never happen. Not because Vince is an idiot but I think he would just turn down the chance like he did before.

What if they shifted Cole to Raw and inserted Styles on SD! I'd much rather see him on Raw but I want to see a King/Styles combo. Not a Coach/Styles.

I hope Josh Mathews, Tazz & Michael Cole are in the house for Taboo Tuesday, as well. They should do alternate commentary on the DVD for the Interpromotional Tag Team Match. They wouldn't add Mathews to the SmackDown! booth, but I'd love to see it because I'm a Mathews-mark.
Hopefully Styles becomes the new play-by-play guy for RAW. They best reach into the company instead of outside it, and a lot of people love Styles for his amazing commentary skills. If Jerry Lawler saddles up and brings his A-game, I can see them being an extrememly successful commentary team for the night. |

Tazz and King on RAW or Tazz and Styles on RAW. Cole and Styles on SmackDown! Or just keep everything the way it is. |

WWE.com: Why are you here and who invited you?
Joey Styles: I was invited by Kevin Dunn (Executive Vice President of WWE Television Production). Because Jonathan Coachman will be getting his head kicked in during his match tonight, there was an opening at the announce table, so I was brought in for the night to do play-by-play. Being a huge Internet wrestling fan, I couldn’t think of anything that would be more fun than Taboo Tuesday – the interactive pay-per-view. I think it’s a great idea to have fans pick the stipulations for the matches. I’m a little surprised the fans didn’t get to choose an announcer for Taboo Tuesday, but I like to think that if fans did get to choose, they would have chosen me. The entire interview is here: http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/stylesbackstage |

YES! YES! OH MY GOD! STYLES!!!!!!!!!!!!
![]() I love the way he mentioned the fans voting on a commentator. Some can call him a sell-out, but this guy may be the best wrestling commentator in the world, so I have no problems with him coming in and reminding us that RAW is a wrestling show.

Some of you need to get over this a bit. I personally LOVE Joey Styles as an announcer, but "best Pay-Per-View of the year", because of the ANNOUNCING?!!!
Yeah, a bit far. |

I wasn't even considering ordering Taboo Tuesday (I usually only go for the Rumble, WM, and Summerslam), but now I'm very tempted to. I hope that this is leading to Styles eventually being a permanent replacement for Jim Ross.

I am interested to see how he gets along with Jerry Lawler. That could be some fun in itself. Taboo Tuesday seems like one Hell of a fucked up show, but with some strong moments like Triple H/Flair, a possible final salute to Captain Charisma, Rey Mysterio getting a win on a RAW show in his hometown, solid commentary the whole night, Conway and Eugene in the same ring (this could be good), T&A (can also be a good thing) and a solid WWE Championship and World Tag Team Championship match, this show may be worth every penny... ...or it may not. |
