I can't believe people think this isn't kayfabe. William regal actually turned off the TV feed too ya know. Such a stupid idea all the way around. I second the disdain for announcer storylines.

So he has a problem with fans yelling that he sucks and calling for him to die? I guess this week we will see the birth of "The Adamle" as he joins the Nation of Domination Don't forget to throw in every black WWE wrestler just cause they're black. Just thought I'd give everyone their NOD reformation post of the day. Hell, they may as well, at this point. Anyone darker than MVP is ALREADY ghettoized on ECW anyway.

I'm loving it.
I don't think Adamle sucks, I think he's doing it all on purpose. If he truly sucks, they ain't going to make him the focus of a storyline.

Honestly, most of the commentary I've been hearing on the show throughout Adamle's run has come from Tazz- Joey was a lot more verbose. If he got in more, maybe I'd hate him more.

I hope Adamle comes out in a Giants jersey to open the show, and cuts the following promo: "From day one, that I have been in the WEDF... I mean ECW... I have done nothing but deal with the bull<bleep> politics from behind that curtain. Last week, Hank Hogan plays his creative control card. That means that even though he knows it's bull<bleep>, he pins The Jarrett and wins the WWCW title. Well I promise you will never see that big bald son of a <bleep> again!" Hogan files defamation of character papers the next day.

Adamle then leaves the arena in a popemobile driven by Larry Csonka. Back to the topic at-hand. I'm terribly outraged and disgusted at all of the lack of respect Mike Adamle gets around from fans. Who hasn't accidentally referred to Chavo Guerrero as Chad O. Guero? I know I have. And so what if he doesn't know what an armbar looks like? It's not like Chris Jericho is on the ECW roster to explain it to him. Face it folks. Mike Adamle is a godsend. He was put on this earth to announce things. From grown ass-men hitting each other with giant Q-tips to grown-ass men hitting each other with chairs, Mike Adamle has covered it all. Anybody who dares to speak ill of Mike Adamle is not a friend of mine. I hope you take this threat with total discretion.

I hope Adamle goes heel, and no one cares.

The Score closed captions went straight to hell a couple of weeks ago and started spouting off literally indicipherable gibberish that wasn't even funny, so I've taken a sabbatical from the threads until they clean up their act. Ironically, that was tonight, so expect to see something later.

If Lance Storm walks out to the ring, kicks him in the face, grabs the microphone, says "EPIC FAIL", then leaves, I'll completely mark.

This whole Adamle thing is making my head hurt. Part of me thinks he really sucks and part of me thinks he is working everyone. I want some damn ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If Steve Blackman were here he would know what to do.

If Steve Blackman were here he would know what to do. Me too. I really really hope that he legit sucked to begin with, and the E decided to run with it as a true-to-life gimmick. If the whole thing has been a work, then it will have been a huge letdown. Him making legit mistakes seems alot more funny than worked mistakes..but then again Santinos mistakes are high-larious, but then again Santino isn't a douche with no charisma.

I'm actually hoping for it to be the other way and in fact lean more towards it. Here are the reasons why. One it would be great to find out that WWE came up with such a good elaborate angle such as an announcer messing up and eventually walking out. It is very believable and has everyone talking not knowing what is real and what isn't. WWE hasn't pulled that off in years. The other reason is because I don't see how in the world Adamle could suck that bad. No one that bad could be in sports commentating for thirty years. Also I watched the old American Gladiators and he was extremely good on that show. Sure he wasn't JR or anything but he knew the product and was a good play by play.

Also, I think Adamle and Sylvester Stallone should both be cast in a remake of "The Incredible Melting Man".

Have you heard any of his other 30 years of broadcasting? Where he has been involved as the main focus in storylines I presume? Another reason is that he would have had to go through try outs to get on TV. They wouldn't have just thrown him based on his Gladiators work. Also consider that if you look at job adverts on the WWE corporate website, you see this for on air talent roles: ''Candidates must possess knowledge of WWE programming, talent and story lines.'' So there is no way Adamle would have been allowed out there calling people Mike The Miz, calling the boot to the face a knee to the chest, calling a leg bar a figure four etc etc. Even consider that in his first interview with wwe.com he states how long he has watched the product and used to go when he was younger, and he also displays knowledge of current stars. There's a reason it was common knowledge a backstage announcer is earning 300 grand a year despite being terrible. WWE wants us to know it.
