Quote from: I Want My Donation Back on October 11, 2005, 10:33:35 PMIt's about time, J.R.'s about 5 years past his prime. People were making fun of him way back then. They should bring in Joey Styles (Duh!) I can't believe they're not doing that. Greatest announcer ever, outside of Bobby Heenan. The way the WWE is now they don't want wrestling guys in those roles. Why, I don't know. The guy that was supposed to take JRs spot is Mike Goldberg, a UFC announcer that knows noothing about wrestling. He turned it down because he wants to break into real sports like NBA or NFL and working for WWE would be a huge setback. JR is still one of the best play by play guys they could have. Joey is great but I doubt we'll see him. Mike Tenay may be the best working at the moment. Heened isn't the best, far from it. He's a colour man not a play by play guy. He's there to add input or be funny. He's in the same category as Jesse Ventura, Lawler, or Rody Piper once upon a time. Say what you want about JR but very few can call match as well as he could. Among that very few is the single greatest play by play man ever; Gordon Soley.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Yeah but he wasn't a play by play man. You need a play by play man and a color man. The difference is like being a good entertainer in the ring like Hogan and being a good wrestler in the ring like Harley Race. Heenan can't call a match like JR could and Hogan couldn't wrestle a match like Harley. Who's better can go either way but the roles are different. One is there to make jokes and add heat to wrestlers and the other is there to help tell the story of the match and build the match as it takes place.

Stop getting all pedantic on me, I understand how the fucking announcing position works. Look, the whole thing is about who entertains the fans more. Bobby Heenan was a comedic genius at entertaining the fans, J.R. isn't. J.R. Isn't even the best play by play guy, Mike Tenay runs circles around him. Tony Schiavone was even arguably better than J.R., and Shiavone was pretty shitty and knew nothing about wrestling. J.R. would be better suited behind the scenes. Another thing. Everybody's talking about how J.R. is one of their top guys, he wouldn't be fired, etc. Of course he hasn't been fired, it's a work.... however, he's been fired, for real, about 3 times by Vince! Vince and him fight all the time so it's at least conceivable that he could get fired, it's certainly happened before.
jr is the greatest announcer ever!....wuts up wit all these fuckin reservoir dog fags!?
