In case you are wondering about him, I found this stuff about him online during the show. A former college football player at USC, I bet JR would love to work with him.  Todd Keneley (Ring Announcer) Todd joined Southern California based Ultimate Pro Wrestling as an announcer/on-air talent in 2000. Keneley acted as a producer, provided play-by-play commentary and conducted pre and post match interviews with talent on all UPW television and home video projects. He remains busy in pro wrestling broadcasting as a play-by-play man for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and ring announcer and writer for the Europe based Nu Wrestling Evolution. Keneley has also made a name for himself as a fight broadcaster. He has called televised and pay-per-view bouts for the likes of Elite XC, Ring of Combat, Valor Fighting and Chuck Norris’ World Combat League. He's recently done Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling show and NWA Hollywood.  www.usctrojans.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/keneley_todd00.htmlwww.imdb.com/name/nm1694026/ |

Loved he and JB, very solid announcing combination.

I liked him. He was nice and generic, the way I like my commentary.
And that's not a back handed insult. I just want guys to call the action, update storylines, stuff like that. Nice and simple. Plus, JB I feel is this generations Mean Gene Okurland, but I think JB is a better commentator then Gene was. Great job from those two. JB can add a bit of colour, but this guy, he goes out there, and he calls the matches. It's a brilliant concept.

He called the show without trying to play a character.
That's all I really want.

I caught the show late so I didn't know what was going on but I liked the new guy. I think he did a good job.

He and JB were so much better than Tenay/Taz that it's ridiculous. Wrestling companies really need to learn that the "A" team isn't always the best one. Hell, Tenay & JB are a pretty good team...
I'm lookin' at you, Taz.

His voice kind of annoyed me, but still better than Taz.

If I could describe him in one word, it would be "nondescript"

I've been a big TK fan, with him announcing NWA Hollywood/CWF Hollywood. Loved the paring of him and JB, they were great together for there first time. I wonder if this is a permanent thing, or one night only?
Is TNA one step closer to turning into WCW, circa 1997?

That guy could have sat out there and farted into the microphone and he still would have been a better commentator than Taz.

Why do we have new announcers? i didn't see the show so i cant say, but when i saw this thread i searched "Todd Keneley" on twitter. it seems to me from reading Borash/Keneley did the first hour and then Taz/Tenay did the second. Like how Nitro used to do it back in the day with Schiavone/Zybyzyozybyxzybzbyzybzbyisco doing the first hour and then Bischoff/Heenan the second. To anyone watching would this assumption be correct? |

He and JB were great, far superior to Tazz & Tenay, tho the switching announcers mid show thing is weird.

He was pretty good last night. Let us hope he continues to be this good. Tazz is annoying especially during the Knockout's matches and I don't know what to think of Tenay.

They need to do it the way RAW/Nitro used to, which is put up a brief 'intro' video for the second hour and change the announcers then. Showing Taz and Tenay show up and wait for Keneley and Borash to take the headsets off and leave was awkward and unnecessary. |
