Michael Cole shouting "SUPERMAN PUNCH!" like he's never seen one before is the absolute worst thing.
this fucking shit needs to stop.
XpoZedBeatz Everytime I hear him say badaboom shakalaka I lose a day of my life
Holy shit, yes. It makes me hate him so much. Cole is just the worst. I'd rather listen to Tony Schiavone and Mongo McMichael for 3 hours.
XpoZedBeatz This is perfect
him saying it's boss time when Sasha Banks kills any enthusiasm I have for seeing her too
Brock Lesnar Entrance
Cole : Ohhhh Myyyyyyyyy
haha every single time
Ganm Alsharafi Fifty shades of oh my! by Michael Cole
Good version:
Brock Lesnar entrance
Tazz: Well, here comes the pain!
I loved that so much, it felt like Tazz new that "oh, shit, somebody's gonna get their ass kicked!"
Y2Jericho161 but it became artificial and forced later
"THAT COULD BE YOU, AJ" - David Otunga
Seriously, when AJ Styles was on commentary a few weeks ago leading up to the last SD of 2016, that's all Otunga kept saying to AJ Styles during a Corbin match and I wanted to headbutt the tv.
AJ dissed him pretty good though by impersonating him.
Im just glad he's off TV with booker t filling in for him for now.
hersh23 David Otunga trying to talk shit at AJ was the worst thing ever
oh yeah i remember that I wanted to reach into my TV and punch Otunga in the mouth
"And she's got the ability to smile genuenly. This is a lost Art, Look at Tom Phillips!!!"
lmfao xD
NAME NAMENAME I LOST IT WHEN HE SAID "LOOK AT TOM PHILIPS" JESUS CHRIST
you know what's annoying to hear?
superman punch
superman punch
superman punch
another superman punch
Priya Kotiyal better than Booker T calling an RKO a Suplex 😂😂😂. The entrances kill me they always say the same thing.
mubzy122 well , JR used to do that with stunners and spears etc
+Priya Kotiyal I agree 100%.
Priya Kotiyal He's calling the match, that's his job lol
I do agree though that it's annoying hearing "SUPERMAN PUNCH" over and over. Blame the creative team for getting Roman to use the move so many times, don't blame the commentators for calling a signature move.
Priya Kotiyal
U know what else is annoying to hear every fucking week?
"oh this is some indy midget he's wrestled all over the world except here now like him even tho he has no charisma, character mic skills look or anything.....he's just good at performing fake wrestling moves in the ring that's all so like him like him like him"
"I've never seen anyone manhandle the Undertaker like that!" said every announcer every time a new big dude fought Taker.
haha! That is indeed annoying to hear. WWE just LOVES to think their fans are fickle and forget easy. But us true fans never forget. And saying stuff like that insults our intelligence.
Robby Bobby like Braun strowman "I don't think anybody can stop strowman" cough cough 2016 royal rumble Brock kicked his ass"
And every time someone suplexes Big Show off the rope and the ring collapses they act like they've never seen it before even though before Braun Strowman did it Brock Lesnar did it twice.
Not to insult your ''intelligence.'' But, if you don't notice repetitive commentary it doesn't mean you're a fake fan. It just means you hold on to things that really don't matter. Not insulting you just pointing out that your comment is ironic LOL.
Well, no, Strowman's different to back then.
To add to the blandness: Remember when the streak ended?
Cole: "The Streak... is over."
Like that is NOT the reaction you want after seeing something as acclaimed as the Streak come to an end. It killed the moment big time.
I can only imagine JR on commentary when the Streak ended.
JR: BAH GOD. HE'S DONE IT. BROCK LESNAR HAS DONE THE UNTHINKABLE! LESNAR CONQUERED THE STREAK! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY.
Aryan Bhattacharya I liked that call, I don't want JR (as good as he is) shooting down the microphone during a moment where I'm trying to figure what the hell happened. Coles tone matched my shock for that moment
I'm pretty sure no one wanted some old ass man screaming his lungs out when Undertaker was pinned. moron
Sam Martindale...well said.
Aryan Bhattacharya i remember michael cole would always say Streaks over!! streaks over!! and then undertaker would kick out it was so annoying/ funny
Victor Aguilar Oh so why he has more likes than you?
They can't analyse for shit. For example, Cole will go "What is the key for a Roman Reigns win tonight?" or "How does Sami Zayn win this match?" and Saxton would go "He needs to dip deep and give us another big performance". How fucking vapid is that? That tells us NOTHING. I want to hear some real analysis like "He needs to focus on Jericho's injured ribs, employ a lot more strikes tonight, keep Jericho cornered..." things like that.
LMAO
that is the most annoying thing about commentary. They even do it in the pre-show. If analysts in real sports did that they would be fired within 2 weeks.
Rachid Parchment yasss
ur not alone.#foreveralone
hahahah so true lol
They shouldn't give the commentators a script or tell them what's meant to happen in a match, that way it would feel more genuine
The Burger King They need a little bit of script
TheSkyKidOf68 yeah, maybe a list of things not to say would be a better solution
The Burger King They should give scripts to no one period, this is probably the no. 1 problem with WWE, (along with Roman) the fact that everyone and everything is so heavily scripted, restrained, boring and cheesy.
The Burger King they do give them a list of things not to say
@burger king i'll have 10 mcnuggets with barbecue sauce, small fries and a large chocolate shake
I cannot understand how David Otunga has remained employed by the WWE for so many years. His in-ring work was about as bland as a nun's diary, his commentary musters up all the enthusiasm of a mop on it's way to work, and he generally comes across as little more than a well built broomstick in a bowtie.
Taryn Allan his commentary has literally ruined matches for me. Not even heel Michael Cole has done that
you mad bro?
He works for WWE as a lawyer. Sometimes education could be very useful.
He's a Harvard Law grad and he gets some Hollywood rub from being engaged (for the past decade--piss or get off the pot bruh...) to Jennifer Hudson. They obviously see those assets as valuable enough to keep him, but he's just not entertaining enough to succeed at anything they've put him in on-air.
I'm pretty sure they keep him around cause he's with Jennifer Hudson. Cause you know the WWE loves anything mainstream. : /
Finishers: *exist*
JR: HE IS BROKEN IN HALF!!!
Presley Mpunga Booker T:SHUCKEY DUCKEY QUACK QUACK!
Thats why i love JR
*THATS GOTTA BE KANE*
He still a better commentator than micheal cole

“He’s putting those educated feet to good use!” - Jerry Lawler in every WWE game ever
"If he keeps doing a clothesline like that - he's gonna break his arm!"
MAN I hated that line
*proceeds to say it after a backbreaker*
😆😆😆
That's it, he's out!
Honestly they only need two commentators not fucking four.
Clutch Reignz they used to with just Cole and lawler
Clutch Reignz it should just be Mauro Ranallo and jerry lawler for Smackdown and For raw Michael Cole and Corey graves
A 3-man team can work. If 1 guy is heel support, 1 face and the last guy keeps em both in line and things moving. Problem is with both line ups right now is that the heel guy so outclasses the face it ends up sucking. But in general I'd agree 2 man teams over the years seem to have worked best. And this 4 man is just stupid.
I feel like SD Live needs even more commentators. 4 isn't enough.
Clutch Reignz thank you!! I've been saying that for a while now
10 Terrible Habits WWE FANS Need to Break:
1. "What?" chant
*end of video*
I'm a big fan of Stone Cold, but I really wished he never started that back in the day. To THIS day, it hasn't truly gone away.
Give it another year or two and the Yes! Yes! Yes! and No! No! No! chants will make that list.
10 chant ahhhhhhhhhhh! hate it
what?
YES! They need to stop.
Michael Cole is much better than most people think he is, so long as he doesn't have Meekmahan in his ear all the time. See the UK Championship tournament, Beast in the East, his genuine reaction to CM Punk's piledriver... I even liked his call of Goldberg squashing Brock Lesnar. And I agree with Adam on Renee Young - she's among the best non-wrestling personalities in the WWE right now. She has so much chemistry with other performers.
Daryl Castillo Agreed. Michael Cole can be good. the perfect example is when something happens that no one knew, like the dudleys return. You can here how real his reaction is. Thats why jr was so great. he didn't read the script
JBL is good sometimes.....
*SOMETIMES*
Seriously, and here I thought people forgave him after his excellent Face Turn during Lawler's Heart Attack.
Michael Cole is Ass on commentating he's lame and boring.
#FreeMichaelCole Vince..
Everytime Braun Stowman comes out, Michael Cole immediately says "mountain of a man" of "monster among man". When it's Roman Reigns, he says "the big dog". He says the same things over and over again, he's the most annoying commentator I've know, sometimes he's unbearable to listen to.
"OH MY!" "SUPERMAN PUNCH!"
Okay, those are character nicknames/taglines, no different than calling Austin "The Texas Rattlesnake" or Rock "The People's Champ" or Michaels "The Showstopper". Now are Stroman and Reigns' nicknames on par with those... that's subjective, but that's creative's issue, not the announcers.
Sérgio Marques Those are their nicknames dumbshit.
VINTAGE ORTON!!
Sérgio Marques you’re literally stupid :)

replaces big sweaty men with roman reigns and see how it still works!!!!
What I miss the most is having a DEDICATED heel announcer. There are no better examples of this than Bobby Heenan and Jesse Ventura!
and Heel Jerry Lawler during the RA era
MrDrokkul It isn't fair to Flair!
Corey Graves is almost there but he gives credit to faces too often. Bobby would never admit when a babyface is talented, he would just harp on his personality or lack there of or just something else. If Graves does this then he'd be even better.
"I'm gonna tell you all, with a TEAR IN MY EYE!" Flair Rumble win promo FTW!
JBL was a good heel commentator
Who else on a Adam Blampied video spree? I miss Adam.
big AND firm
Anyone else see jbl staring at Nikki Bella’s hooters
@@Mirburwvu i seen it at 7:48
@Jay D. Volk You're a douchebag.
Yea
I miss JR so much! "THIS ONE'S A SLOBBERKNOCKER! IT'S A SLOBBERKNOCKER! A SLOBBERKNOCKER!" That man could commentate like waiters wait and potatoes potate! 😃
Jodi Harris Watch New Japan if you miss him so much.
Diablo Jodi watch Jeff hardy vs undertaker ladder match on raw. its one of JRs best called matches. he made it seem like Jeff was a main eventer
I miss JR, Tazz, & Jerry the King Lawler
And joey styles and vince McMahon
Robert Lim and Jesse Ventura
Christopher Ballero not Taz. Seriously, I hate that man's voice. always sounded constipated.
Christopher Ballero You haven't heard a wrestling match until it's called by Jesse the body Ventura along with Vince McMahon or Randy Savage. 😂
BAH GAWD.
Byron is pretty decent when he isn't playing up the good-natured buffoon gimmick.
Otunga is the physical representation of the phrase "meh"
Saxton I feel is wasting his talents on Commentary, The guy is a decent wrestler, though his finisher was dumb. Otunga just needs to get the hell out of WWE... I still don't get how he is still hired, The guy is just there because he has a hot Celeb wife. and a Law Degree.. Put Saxton in NXT and actually have him home his craft? He will be so much better on the mic, and in the ring, where as, Otunga.. Well, he's the reason I hate commentary atm on Smackdown. I love Graves on COmmentary, Trips did a good job on that.
Byron is good enough in the ring to be a pro, just not in the WWE.
Mauro needs to help Byron, BAD!
Otunga is mediocre incarnate
Isn't Otunga a lawyer for WWE?
I love joey styles saying
OHHHH MYYYY GODDDD
Who remembers when Michael Cole said Boom Shakalaka at Wrestlemania 32.
Scott Tran I know, I am saying specifying that time at Wrestlemania 32.
Scott Tran it was after Shaq did something and then Cole said Boom Shakalaka but it wasn’t that irritating because it was only for Shaq. Then he started saying it for Enzo and Cass...
Robert Luengas hahahaha
And Graves told him to never say it again
I hate David Otunga more than Blampied would hate the prospect of marrying R Truth
siddus19 and it looks like he is gonna be calling the wrestlemania main event match... OH GOD
I think Vince will make Goldberg v Lesnar The main event and every wrestling fan will cry, then try spin it by saying it's a double or triple main event like they've done in the past.
24magiccarrot and once again the top titles are less important than a couple of part timers
Not necessarily, there are rumors that Goldberg is going to win the Universal Title at Fastlane.
Certainly nobody expects Owens to go into Wrestlemania as champion.
I do. I was worried when Reigns was his Rumble opponent but now I think they'll recognise that KO/Jericho deserves the title
David Otunga is the worst....Mauro and Corey are the best ! (oh and they should stop cheerleading or having an erection for a wrestler like Cole had with the Miz).
Cole was a ''heel'' announcer at the time, he was helping to build Miz for the main event...
Yeah but he has a creepy erection for him.
+marioozzie There's a difference between being a heel and having an erection for someone.
LOL TRUE! Cole jacked off to Miz ENDLESSLY back in 2011...
Smarky Wolf Reviews & Yuksel EROL Sorry boys, but Bobby Heenan was just as intense towards Ric Flair back in 1992. Cole was just playing a newer version of the sycophant announcer...
I don't know if it was Steve and Larson or someone from Whatculture, but someone described David Otunga as a default commentator on an old video game. Hilarious. Spot on.
Minacious that’s how I described him to my girlfriend few days ago
He sounds like a character on wwe like
“Wow great match, Keep doing things like that and you will make it to the top”
Poor Ascension... Dammit JBL
newLEGACY boy and then a few years later dx did the same thing to the revival
Vince McMahon likes big sweaty men.
Vince McMahon likes big sweaty men.

I've been singing this sporadically for the last 36 hours.... I was outside for a while - wonder what my neighbors think? Anyway... VINCE MCMAHON LIKES BIG SWEATY ME'EN! VINCE MCMAHON LIKES BIG SWEATY ME'EN! VINCE MCMAHON LIKES BIG SWEATY ME'EN! VINCE MCMAHON LIKE BIG SWEATY ME'EN! VINCE MCMAHON LIKE BIG SWEATY ME'EN! VINCE MCMAHON LIKES BIG SWEATY ME'EN
AdotKay And you like skinny sweaty men!!!!
Michael Cole is great when Vince doesnt scream in his ears check out the UK tourny
True he was 10X better on Uk than Raw i just dont get why Vince keeps doing this when we think Cole is better without Vince...
Yuksel EROL I know IM a dick for saying This but WWE would be better of without Vince
Gio R Yes, he's out of touch with what todays audience wants. Time for him to step aside, let his family take over, and enjoy his retirement. Unfortunately since Vin Man is a workaholic, that will never happen, and WWE will continue to go downhill for the foreseeable future.
rocketcon
vince isn't out of touch he's a business man. he lost money in the WWE NETWORK a few years ago loosing 600million now he's a billionaire. if he was truely was out of touch, he wouldn't be a billionair. i think the poor storyline telling is the 3 hour raws. that isn't vince's fault thats more of the U.s network fault for paying vince $$$$ for the 3 hours. even HHH said that 3 hour's of raw so difficult to write. Vince still has final say with smackdown and i fully believe it's only good because it's easier to write. it's a much faster pace.
"Vince keeps doing this when we think" Roman Reigns, John Cena Michael Cole.
Vince doesn't give a shit about, what we think.
Renee Young is of the most beautiful and genuine funny and nice people in the WWE right now. Whenever she is interviewing, I can't help but listen to everything she says... they should definitely go the extra mile and make a her comment on at least the female matches. Seeing the WWE has these bad habits with the commentators however, I think the "script" would ruin her :/
did you ever get a chance to catch the faces and grimaces that Renee emmits?
EVERY time a WWE wrestler finishes
(except maybe Brian Danielson ...no surprise everybody worships his ass for some reason)
his/her faux interview Renee makes that stupid grimace which conveys "ugh what a jerk" BUT no fans seem to notice or care.
Go now Daryl watch any interview with RY and FF to the end watch her reaction. And you call that "so much chemistry" if you want real chem..look no further than Charlie (can't rem her last name) the light brown mocha colored woman, now SHE IS A PRO..after each segment she smiles or nods in accordance with the tempo and mood of the interview. But Renee is pathetic.
Renee says one thing everytime someone hits something she just says Oooo and she says it alot y is that good comentary
Simp
I just love how Graves is the only one that isn't personally criticized in this video. He is such a solid commentator.
Did anyone see Smackdown last night? The Miz was great on commentary
ikr he's improved so much over the last couple of years, really tore Baron a new one, poor dude had nothing to say
yeh i could agree with that, well except the whole diva search fuck up but that was just a memory problem i guess
Booty O Jay he really was!! I love his "I made the intercontinental championship prestigious" line 😂😂😂!!
I want him to replace Otunga.
Miz verbally buried Corbin.
Get The Miz on commentary - he was funny as hell last night on smack down. 😂
Bayardo A Rugama I've heard of The Miz but, I have never heard of the Mix.
typo lol
Bayardo A Rugama only great mic guys should be guests on commentary
Miz is soooo good on the mic. His delivery is so natural and doesn't feel scripted at all. I really enjoyed his commentary last night. The only problem is sometimes he talks too much about himself making the other commentators didn't have enough time to actually calling the match
Considering about just what the commentary is all about, for all I care: Miz can talk about himself the whole show... ^^
Signature phrases
Cole: OOOOOH MYYYYY!
JBL: BALL GAME!
Byron Saxton: Oooh my god!
Corey Graves: KINSHASAAAAAA!
JR: BAH GAWD!
Jerry Lawler: Yahoo!
Mauro Ranallo: TOPE SUICIDA, MAMA MIA!
Booker T: Oh my goodness!
Joey Styles: ER MA GAAAAAAD!
Brenton Taylor lmao Joey had the best one. Adam forgot to do his “OH MAH GWHAD!” Impression of Joey lmao
Never forget when Undertaker's streak was broken.
Crowd was in shock.
Cole: The streak... is over.
He said it so laid back and without emotion.
Vaddix 99 it s a rumor that he finded out during the match that taker was going to lose so he could react normal
It seems appropriate thou.
The only 3 man commentary team I ever liked was JR, King, and Jonathan Coachman.
Jonathan Coachman? Really? That guy is a hack and an asshole. I NEVER liked the guy
His character was a sniveling jackass, but he actually kept up with King's banter. His character was a better version of what Cole's heel character was.
that and Michael Cole Jerry lawer and JBL
+KaptainMorganWo WCW had passable to good 3-man commentaries in the 90s.
I enjoyed WCW commentary as well
CM Punk on commentary that one time was fucking amazing xD
Jimmy Uso should be a commentator again 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Someone jumps off the top rope
Cole: OH MY
Finally a video roasting the WWE commentator team. I've always felt the way they do their job is a bit awkward.
Young on commentary would Just be a mix of Total Divas and Ambrose references by the other commentators, so that wouldnt work
bart hoogveld Yeah... Renee by herself has the potential to br a commentator but... The other ones would make her the new Byron Saxton.
Maybe not THAT bad vut you see my point
TheSkyKidOf68 the problem is that they barely to play-by play commentary
I think she would benefit from a three-person team more than anyone else because I don't think she can be sole defender of face or heel but she can still give good commentary so Jbl Mauro and Renee
bart hoogveld lol when you said Young I was thinking of Darren Young with the total divas reference lol
bart hoogveld lol when you said Young I was thinking of Darren Young with the total divas reference lol
If they had a neutral play by play, and then a face color and a heel color I think it would be fine, but the dynamic is off in just to many ways for it to work.
how about when they tell you 600 times in every royal rumble match that someone wasn't eliminated because they went through the ropes not over them.
Cole was great only with Taz. I like Mauro and his "Mama Mia" because when he does say it, something extraordinary happened in the ring (most likely by Aj Styles) and JBL is great especially when James appears.
LegendaryKing ha I actually do miss Mauro cole is acceptable what can you do kind of old fashion......
I don't mind a female announcer, but not Renee. She just isn't a good announcer. She really wasn't good in NXT. She's got the perfect role in WWE these days.
Her own chat show, hosting Talking Smack, hosting pre show panels and backstage interviews.
Umeer Cheema she would be infinitely better than Otunga though
When someone unexpected comes to the rumble
Commentators: YoU GoTtA Be kIdDiNg mE
My God, the intro is fucking hilarious
MegaChorro123 BAH GAWD! THAT WAS THE GREATEST INTRO THIS BUSINESS HAS EVER SEEN
Pretty sure Mauro has been saying mama mia since his time in mma commentating
That doesn't make it right
They need to get rid of Otunga on Smackdown and give that role to Tom Phillips at least then Tom can give good commentary instead of the 2 lines he says on every episode of Snackdown.
SINGHDASLAYA You mean Phillipe?
SINGHDASLAYA I couldn't enjoy the first 5 minutes of Styles vs Cena because of Otunga
Ahsain "hey you want to hear about John Cena's Right Shoulder Vein?"
haha! I think Tom Philips is good. But I have no idea WHY he's on Smackdown when he barely does anything on the show.
Random guess getting more used to it Cole is supposedly wanting to shift more back stage and tom would be a good fit for his spot.
Agree 1000%. Bring back two-man desks with clear face/heel dynamics. Fuck, if they want to use 20 commentators, split RAW again and use different people for the side shows.
"I feel I've just seen heaven, what a match. As a wrestling fan how could you ask for anything more"..... God I miss JR
I also hate when somebody goes to JBL and tells him of how to win a match because he wrestled before
I've been wondering for some time now. During the royal rumble, they always say both feet must touch the ground. So basically, you can hop outside the ring on one foot as long as you want, as long the other foot doesn't touch the ground?
Date Masamune yes, or you can be like the Miz and Chris Jericho and go under the bottom rope and wait outside for a bit 😂!!
Yeh that all started when Micheals only had one foot hit the ground
Thats how shawn won in 1995 from beeing picked at no1 to winning
isn't it also weird we don't see more of people sliding out of the ring like edge and jericho do? cause you're still in match as long as don't go over the top rope
because when when youre in the heat of the match you dont really think of that you just care about eliminating and not getting eliminated
When Miz retires he should be a commentator. Imagine a commentary team with Miz Corey Graves and Mauro Ranallo? Miz as the heel, Corey as the neutral and Mauro as the face. GLORIOUS.
I think it was already on the list, but, how about this one?:
JBL saying something to the nature of "We've just witnessed one of the all-time greatest PPV's, Maggle!...".
Joey Styles 1 man commentary
Evry Wrestling yuss ECW
Joey Styles was great for ECW back in the days. I'm amazed he did it by himself a lot back then.
OH MY GOD
Quan Williams owhwhh mahww gawhhhdd
The miz is great on commentary
This is by far my favorite channel! Adam is flipping hilarious! Thanks 🤗
- How on earth do you forget Booker T's greatest, most overused line: WAIT-A-MINNIT!!
- And 1000% more Renee Young on commentary
- My favorite random Michael Cole yelling out thing was when DB was gonna wrap up a Yes Lock on the ladder and Cole just blurts out "SUBMISSION SPECIALIST!"
- Guest commentary is AWFUL 90% of the time. The only thing more AWFUL is David Otunga. As an African American I wish we could have one, JUST ONE commentator that isn't a pile of ass. Though Booker did veer into so-bad-he's-good territory at times. WAIT-A-MINNIT!
- Agree with pretty much the whole list other than liking when they have fun sometimes.
- And I'm just glad Josh Mathews isn't in the WWE anymore. Dude is stinking it up big time on commentary in TNA.
sadowolf otunga is just depressing
Booker T doesn’t commentate enough for his catchphrase to get old
7:27 exactly what happened at this week's SmackDown. Miz was really great on commentary, meanwhile Baron Corbin just wasn't, he didn't know how to respond to Miz who was making fun of him the entire time.
Because Corbin's character is not the guy who comes up with witty insults behind the commentary desk. He is the serious badass that speaks few words but straight to the point and gives you the beating of a lifetime. There is no problem with what happened on SmackDown, in my opinion.
I know that's his character but to me he didn't seem too confident, but that's just my impression I guess. He has gotten so much better these last couple of months though, but he needs a bit more practice. Love what they're doing with Corbin and Strowman, it's what they should have done with Reigns when he left the Shield
Simone96TV I would love to hear Strowman on commentary, not saying anything, making the others uncomfortable. When they do try to include him he says something brutal that just makes them nervous, " What do think Braun?" "I think I can destroy everyone in this building in 10 minutes." "Okay........back to the action!"
hahaha that would be pretty awesome
Best commentary ever, Jr and Jerry Lawler
Master Gamer couldn't agree more along with Monsoon and Heenan
I prefer the commentary teams from 2007. Joey Styles and Tazz, JBL and Michael Cole, and Jr and Jerry Lawler.
"I'm David Otunga" killed me
Shane jumping on undertaker from the top of the cell
Michael Cole: For the love of mankind Shane just exploded through a table
If it was jr: MY GOD SHANE just exploded through our announce table SHANE just exploded through our announce table............(after a few seconds).........FOR the love of God Shane just exploded through our announce table!😂😂😂
Honestly, these commentators don't barely focus on matches.
MeguhCorey they literally argue the whole time it's annoying. Like we get it you don't like Byron, move on.
Gib Gib ikr
renee is literally the best. LET HER TALK MORE!
indigo detry No.
I think she should have some tester commentating gigs to see how she does. But personally I think she's great at what she does and if she were to leave that behind I think it would leave a large hole to fill.
Nothing against David Otunga but I would love it if Renee Young was in his spot on SmackDown's commentary team instead.
the inability to even know the basic move name, so at least 999 times a show we hear the Phrase, He planted him!!!
VinnyXwolf Oh my daysss yes
What a move
That's why i miss Taz so much.
10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About
Rey Mysterio
Eddie Guerrero
Mick Foley
Kurt Angle
Bret Hart
Alberto del Rio
The original ECW
10 Most Exteme WWECW Moments
If they wanted us to forget Mick Foley, then why insert him as Raw GM and have him on the show week after week? In my eyes its more like " hey kids! Remember that hardcore legend you loved in the attitude era? Well, he's the new Raw GM and you get to see him week after week getting belittled and trashed on by Stephanie McMahon. Enjoy!" Kinda ruins his legacy as a hardcore wrestling legend.
Kory Andrews You might want to reread the comment. There's a difference between "10 things WWE wants you to forget about Foley" and "WWE wants you to forget about Foley and here are 10 reasons why."
Ceul Gai if they wanted to forget Kurt then why is he in the Hall of Fame
J Money They don't want you to forget about him, but there may be some things about him. You may wish to reread the comment, or the video titles.
Oh my bad
Otunga makes Saxton sound like JR
Otunga needs to be fired
Every kickout is telegraphed. "Is that enough???" "Do we have new champs?!?"
When commentators say “RKO Out of Nowhere" even though we all see it coming. It just ruins the whole "Out of Nowhere" aspect of it.
That got so bad it's now a meme.
congratulations on 1 Million gentlemen! 👊
Raging Brainer Shut the fuck up
King Bradberry don't tell him that
King Bradberry just wait til your mother finds you with her phone
Jim ross and Jerry the king best commentary duo. In my opinion.
Completely agree 100%!!!
1:53 Hey now, Tom Phillips is VASTLY underrated and FAR better than those other backstage interviewers-turned commentators like Grisham, Josh, and Byron. He's not boring, he's not obnoxious, he knows how to tell a story, he has a great knowledge of the product, and he plays off his fellow commentators excellently.
Class breaks
Jr: Steve Austin Steve Austin Steve Austin
I think the commentary is fine, I like the 3 man booth, the only thing I'd change on Raw is Saxton not having any comebacks when Cory Graves teases him. I mean either stop emasculating the man on TV or have him fight back and if he doesn't have the wits to respond then replace him with someone who does or just stop the emasculation.
Also another weird thing is how back in the day like you said in the video, there was one heel, one face, even when they had the 3 man teams like in late 2005 with Lawler, Coachman and The ECW guy, there was always one face and one heel but now, sometimes I cant tell who the heel is. Technically Reaves and JBL are supposed to be heel but that's only up to a point, when it comes to main event talent like Reigns and Cena, no one says criticizes them and supports the other guy, instead they actually go outta their way to support the baby faces, it's weird when JBL is dissing Daniel Bryan for looking like a goat but then saying stuff like 'Big Match John' or 'Cena is the greatest of all time' or Graves calling Roman Reigns 'The Big Dog'. It's like all the heel commentators are Stephanie McMahon.
Yeah, it's a little frustrating. One or two digs is fine but some shows it's just relentless. Like, stfu Cory we're watching a match - can you, oh I dunno, commentate on it and not on Byron?
It's especially egregious when Byron is commentating the match, and then Graves is like, "Shut up, Byron." No, you fucking shut up.
I hate Cory Graves.
Goat isn't an insult. That's horrible. Humans are animals, and no more special than any other creature.
Michael YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME Cole..
Simon you're the best! Every thing you touch is gold.
"Miracle Kid" and "Miracle on Bourbon Street" fill me with so much rage to the point that I should be incarcerated. Seriously.
And don’t forget Cole saying, “for the love of Mankind!” after Shane-O-Mac jumped off the Hell in a Cell while being shown reading it from his script… god damn it.
And that is why, for as long as I've watched wrestling, I watch it in Spanish. Two commentators, one face, one heel, both of them with Ranallo level of enthusiasm, both of them with not overused catchphrases, the same two guys WWE has had since about 6 years now, with the great Savinovich now retired, and no Michael Cole, no Otunga, no Saxton, no Graves which is a bit of a shame, and, thank to Jesus, no JBL.
DexPunk during the Royal Rumble I tried to figure out how to switch to Spanish commentary because of Otunga, and I can't understand Spanish
Ahsain Use the SAP option on the tv/network, I think that's how it's done. You should learn it a bit, it's fun, especially with this commentating team.
WWE need to do this:
SmackDown: Mauro & JBL & Renee
RAW: Cole & Graves & Philipe
I'd rather have Tim than Philipe. Either that or Todd, or even Phil, or Ted!
+Sir Craigglesworth Esq. lll Why not have all three? Tim, Philipe, and Phil would be great! Hell, maybe Ted could even do some quest commentary from time to time! But no Todd. Todd's not allowed.
Thank God someone finally made it clear in a video that Cole's biggest problem is being told EXACTLY what to say/what not to say most of the time on Raw/PPVs. I'm not saying Cole would suddenly become JR without a script/a voice in his headset screaming at him, but honestly 80% of the reason Cole is shit on commentary nowadays is because of that very same thing. JR admitted in an interview that he wasn't forced to say nearly as much shit as Cole is made to do.
2:15 WhatCulture foreshadows 2021 Nia Jax
The Miz was a very good as a guest commentator...
LOOL "hm how'd he kick out of that?"
Oh got truth.#Otungaisshit
frankly there is absolutely nothing to dislike about Jim Ross and Mauro , the latter announces like a legit pro , stupid page
Mauro is a legit pro, he was calling MMA for years before WWE grabbed him.
Jeff Stromberg yup , he is best thing that has happened with to wwe announcers list
Ehh Mauro gets a bit too much for me too often. But I do appreciate the fact that he actually calls moves and not just makes broad statements such as "What a slam!"
Renee Young isn't being held back, they gave her a shot at commentary on NXT and she didn't do as well as they wanted her to. Simple as that
And yet, neither are most of the male commentary team.
Then...she gets the job and first female blah blah blah lol
Bring back Jerry and JR!!!
I remember Matt Striker used to say holy shi...but he didnt finish the sentence. He used to say it in Royal Rumble matches, I actually miss him
This is one of my favourite vid from u
“I’m David Otunga.”
🤣🤣🤣
best moment of commentary history is JR responding to Vince being The Higher Power with "Awh Son of a Bitch!"
Does anybody remember a raw episode about three years ago or so where chris Jericho wade baret and i think the miz were in the ring having a segment and the crowd was just dead silent and i mean dead silent you could have heard a pin drop absolutely nobody in the audience cared about the horrible segment it was so bad and forced and just when u think it can't get worse Michael cole and Jerry lawler start laughing on commentary alot by the way and Michael cole says and i quote "this has got to be the worst segment in wwe history" then they continue to laugh Vicki Guerrero or someone comes out and just makes a triple threat match between all of them and Michael cole just announces the match and it goes to commercial while they continue to laugh I've been trying to find this segment everywhere i can't find it at all I'm not even sure if I'm remembering it right
Better than you Now I want this segment too. Did you find it?
Frostbitegaming
No it's impossible to find
Better than you Whats impossible, there is a thing called WWE network where every Raw and Smackdown show from years ago is uploaded and you can watch everything. How old are you 7? Whats up with your imagination running wild
Pewdiepi
Pfffff I don't have the network u moron I refuse to give the wwe my money I don't even know what episode it was Sherlock and I'm pretty sure if it's on the network then that segment wouldn't be there considering they botched the whole thing
Pewdiepi they cut shit from the network. Like when Rock said to Punk "You gonna come down here and fight or stand up there like a punk ass bitch!?" and Punk said, "Im gonna stand up here like a punk ass bitch cause it's cool to swear ladies and gentlemen."
WWE deleted that from history.
“LOOK AT TOM PHILLIPS!” LmAoooo
I would say telegraphing false-finishes with comments like "that's gotta be it," or "we have a new champion!" is the dirt worst thing they do. If you know what to listen for, they ruin so many endings. In all fairness, they make those comments when it's still far from over, but generally they react differently to actual pinfalls than they do nearfalls.
I haven't watch wwe in a while so I really am wondering this. Why is David Otunga doing commentary but not wrestling? He was pretty okay in the ring and I don't think he is that old or got any injuries. So why isn't he in the ring?
I've wondered that too. I guess it's a mystery.
I would guess he can't wrestle. He couldn't do anything with Nexus either. It was all Barret in that group.
Because he's only marginally better at commentary.
BrokenSaintRW no, I'm better at brain surgery that Otunga is at commentary
mauro ranello's mama mia catchphrase was with him in strikeforce as well (mma)
I agree!! they should bring back the 2 member commentary team across all brands. Especially with NXT and 205 Live they have the place where they can send so many commentators to.
If they have to keep a 3 member team, they should make it:
RAW - Cole, Corey Graves & Lillian Garcia (come on! she is experienced enough!!)
SmackDown Live - JBL, Mauro & Renee Young
NXT - Tom Philips, Nigel Mcguiness & Byron Saxton
205 Live - Mauro, Corey & Renee Young
