Everytime I see Burke I ask myself "why isn't he a title holder yet?" Everytime I see Burke, I ask myself 'who the heck is that?' before remembering him. Everytime I see Burke I ask myself, "Why did they waste 6 months trying to re-push Shelton when they had Elijah Burke?" |

Adamle's first segment as ECW Announcer = Worth the $300,000 right there.

"That's a bold strategy Cotton." That's what the WWE needs to do. Get Gary Cole and Jason Bateman to call shows. |

Everytime I see Burke I ask myself "why isn't he a title holder yet?" He has to pay his dues. Yeah, he really needs to do his time, because after all, he was dubbed the Future Of ECW by Vince McMahon, and was the leader of a high-profile stable. So yeah, he's gotta pay his dues... |

Holy crap...he's not calling a damn thing! He's doing exactly what WWE wanted people to do! This is sad. I don't care if it takes him a few weeks to get up to speed...I don't think he's going to get better, folks. I never thought he would to be honest. It sucks, but to be fair it'll never be as bad as West/Tenay. NOTHING can be that bad well maybe Borash/West would be worse He's not screaming so it could be worse... |

I don't have a huge problem with Adamle (even though he's not doing so great right now).
It's just that Joey and Tazz had awesome chemistry.

It seems like they gave him the briefcase because they panicked after the Hardy deal and now they don't know where to go with him. I'd imagine the Draft will do something. Taker will injury himself, Edge will get the title shot off Punk, Edge wins. GG. Fixed for reality. |

I feel bad for Adamle, he was put into a position that he has no idea how to do. If he continues to suck I blame whoever put him out there.

Apparently announcing wrestling is harder than we think seeing how many guys they try and they all seem to suck.

The reason this annoys me is that they've already shown that for whatever reason, the guy just isn't good on live broadcasts. ECW IS live sometimes, so imagine how bad this COULD get. I know I just said give him a chance, but the more he talks, the more I cringe.
I'd move Josh Matthews to ECW and QUICK. I have no idea why they aren't using him right. He's got the knowledge, and he probably knows the guys that are working the show now personally.
Adamle seemed to work in pretaped segments, I just don't think he's a live announcer. Or if you're going to use him, use him like they use Josh Matthews, let him work WWE.com segments. I just don't know why they're putting him on there when he's obviously an older guy who doesnt have much experience with the wrestling industry.
Without being mean, hiring Adamle had to be a favor for someone. It was the most random hiring I've seen from the 'E in a very long time.

It's just an announcer, atleast it isn't Don West/Mike Tenay bad. Joey Styles has been the voice of ECW since before ECW was ECW. It's like if Sega got rid of Sonic, eh MaDaBa? |

At least they sound like they're reading off cue cards. This guy is a f***ing droid. |

If they wanted to use Josh Matthews right they would've given him the wrestling training they promised, but hell he can't even get that or back on TV |
