The guy is very rudimentary but it works in TNA with Taz and Tenay going off the rails regularly. I rather hear someone call it down the middle than hearing banter that makes no sense.

I did appreciate the more "straight-up" commentating; when wrestling tries to do it more like that, it becomes easier to get smaller, more subtle things about characters and feuds over, since the broadcasters are more focused on the product in front of them.
This guy was just a little TOO bland, though I'm sure he needs to get acclimated to TNA. Didn't think he and JB did a great job in getting over Aries' shenanigans in his match against Anderson, but by and large I liked what they brought.
Wonder if this has anything to do with Spike bringing its cameras to OVW?

He was no Todd Christiansen, but he was alright.

I love Todd, he's a great guy, but I'd love it if they gave Stu Stone a gig.

Not a fan of alternating announcers to be honest. It's one of many things that pissed me off about WCW. I don't see the point. If you had announcers that weren't god awful there'd be no need to 'freshen things up'.
You don't interrupt dinner and order a pizza unless you didn't like the dinner in the first place. In which case - change the dinner and save money on the delivery.

I don't like 2 announcers with high voices... I think one higher pitched and one deepr voice sound better together. And while these guys were pretty good together, that annoys me.

The mid-show on-air handoff was awkward, but everything else was fine.

His voice reminds me of Joey Styles, and that's a good thing.

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? I was thinking the same thing the night I saw him and JB on before Tazz and Tenay,I was like so is this them doing their nod to WCW.
