I don't know. For me I either like an announcer or I don't. Michael Cole's heel turn has made him difficult to like because he doesn't call matches any more... I don't know whether that's a good way of getting heat but if so, more power to them. It's obviously at least a deliberate way to get heel heat, unlike in WCW where a cruiserweight classic would be going on in the ring, and the guys behind the desk would be seemingly oblivious because they were telling us all about what the NWO, Roddy Piper, Hogan, Luger etc were to be doing later that night.
The WWE ones who stand out as bad to me are Todd Grisham because I hate his stupid voice and the Coach because he's got no qualifications to talk about pro wrestling and is an idiot and not at all interesting. Mick Foley was surprisingly boring during his run as well, but tried to shift the blame onto McMahon, but one wonders how other guys in the same position managed to be good despite all that hectoring from the big man.
I can't stand Lawler now either. He's been stale since probably his 2001 return, or maybe before that. He's a legend of the business but probably needs to go.
(Of course that fat piece of s*** Mark Madden also deserves a mention.)

Michael Cole. He's becoming too much of a detriment to tv matches now.

Josh Matthews when paired with Cole. His attempts to goad Cole are actually even more obnoxious and irritating.

Lawler
I find him so boring and I hate his attempts at humour. I never got the love for heel Lawler either tbh.
Heel Lawler seemed no different than Heel Cole where they just try wayyyy too hard to be a heel and it just seems so false and forced.
I prefer announces like JBL and Regal who are just neutral. They have guys who they like and guys who they dislike regardless of their allignment which is how it should be.

Cole has been almost forever.
Adamle was awful, but its was obvious he was never going to be doing it a long time. Cole's been there for so long and he's always sucked.

Matt Striker after his move to Smackdown. He became an obnoxious parody of himself and made me mute more than one episode of Smackdown.
Bruno Sammartino was DIRE.
And here is one that will be controversial...
I never liked Jesse Ventura's commentary in WWE. His voice always seemed insincere and his tone just kind of boomed over everything. The way he analysed things bothers me too. He was much better in WCW.

Another one I dislike is Booker.
He's awful. Can barely understand a word he says, he talks utter nonsense at times and he can never think of a decent comeback to any of Cole's comments.

the only thing i hate about booker commentary is when he stays repeating the same thing.

Yeah, Adamle was completely out of his depth. As for Booker, I do like him, but he's not the wittiest. Some of the stupid things he says do make me laugh though. On SD he said something like, "It's as if he's got amnesia... and when you got that, you don't remember NUTHIN"

I dislike half of them tbh.
I like Stanford, Booker, JR and Mathews, but I dislike King, Cole, Striker and Grisham.

On Mondays, it's Michael Cole followed very closely by Jerry Lawler. Cole only wins because I can barely freakin' hear anyone else over him.
On Fridays, it's Booker Tie followed very closely by Michael Cole. Booker T is rather loud, and I have a hard time understanding him, and when I do understand him, it's usually not really worth understanding. It's awful when the two of them start talking at the same time.

Booker T isn't really hard to understand at all, even for a non American like myself.
Now Dusty Rhodes? Get me a translator.
Scott Stanford's surprisingly good for a media type guy.

Bill DeMott was really bad when he used to co-host WWE Velocity.
Michael Cole is pretty much the worst long-term lead announcer in WWE history. Even Sean Mooney was better, IMO.

I used to like Kevin Kelley whatever happened to that guy? His commentary on the Kennel from Hell match with Mick Foley is beyond hilarious.
