Gorilla Monsoon won/obtained the Worst announcer of the year award MAD times...I always enjoyed his work and considering this was a time when Tony Schvione (porn star mustache included) and Jim Corrnette (Who granted was a great manager, was a horrible play by play man) were both commentating regularly im wondering what the WON's readers problem was...I mean seriously I dont think I can think of (aside from maybe Cyrus and Styles) a better commentating team than Heenan/Monsoon or Ventura/Monsoon he was the perfect straight man, with just the right amount of sarcasm to give him that extra sprinkle of funny....why do you think he got all the hate?

The dude really is a darsh, why the hell is his word even so sacred, who gave him the power to star rate matches, has he ever done anything in the wrestling world aside from critique it and give spoilers?

Well there is a large portion of the world who thinks what he says is gospel. This should show why he's full of shit. |

I always thought Monsoon was a great announcer.
My fave duo was always Ventura/McMahon though. Yes, even more than Heenan/Monsoon. I'm not sure why. I couldn't tell you. Ever since I was a kid though, they were my faves.
All the 80s announcers were great though. Yes, Sean Mooney included. I was a huge mark for Sir Alfred, too.

You've also got to remember at one point he gave the ''Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic used by a Company'' to Backlund being WWF Champion
For some reason Bob Backlund is comparable to Jack Evans smoking his Bosses Ashes and Katie Vic

Gorilla Monsoon worst announcer? Is this guy from another planet or something, I think he better recheck his stats, no one has come close to ever outdoing Monsoon, to this day I'd rather hear a match called by Monsoon as oppose to anyone

Monsoon was a fine announcer. He was much more bearable than Tenay was in WCW (and now in TNA).

As someone who wasn't watching during his time as a commentator, looking back and watching old WWF events, I can honestly say he is a woeful commentator in my opinion. Never seen the big deal about him, and honestly, he's just annoying to me.
