I missed the August 1 episode and the first 15 minutes of this past episode, so I didn't hear any explanation (if there was one) on why Tenay wasn't calling Impact this week?
Did they mention it on the 8/1 episode?

There's a thread where people say he looks like Joseph Goebbels. I'm sure these two things are completely unrelated.

JB cut a promo saying how the fans have been commenting that Taz/Tenay are (comic book guy voice) - worst announce team, ever, and since TNA listens to its fans, they've been trying our alternatives over the past few weeks...
...and in the real world - the show opened with an Aces & 8's segment where the bikers basically sent Tenay home as revenge for Taz being "kept out of the announce booth" for the past couple of weeks.

I think maybe they're trying to phase Tenay out a little. After all the guy has been the voice of TNA since day 1 in 2002. 11 years of the same voice on TNA does get old after a little while.
I think they need a new leading man (Not Borash) with Tenay and Taz doing colour. It was perfect with Kennelly I don't know why they changed it.

It was perfect with Kennelly I don't know why they changed it. Purely speculation, but possibly as part of the streamlining that's been going on through all other areas of the business. Or maybe Todd was brought in as an experiment and management simply decided that it simply didn't work. |

It was a way easier impact to listen to with tazz and jb on commentary. You know since jb doesn't yell throughout an entire match
Tenay is a shitty pbp who cannot shill and ruins every segment by talking over it and narrating
Tenay sucks. Bring in striker and he and jb can call it

The biggest problem with Taz and Tenay (together) is that if a match doesn't interest them, it's painfully obvious. Watch any match that clearly isn't to their taste and you'll hear them drift off into smarky comments, making points about things unrelated to what's going on in the ring, or simply having half-hearted jibes at each others' expense.
JB's strength is that he nearly always returns to the in-ring action when he's commentating. Jim Ross had an ability to sell what is happening RIGHT NOW, something Taz & Tenay just don't seem able to do.

If they both suck at the one job they do let em go. Maybe make Taz an agent, move Tenay to backstage interview guy. |

Maybe make Taz an agent, move Tenay to backstage interview guy. It's going to cost TNA quite a lot of money to just release these guys though. Especially since Taz just signed a new deal a month or so ago. |

Unless they got it written in their contract about receiving a majority of the money on their contract, it won't. TNA has been rewriting folks' contracts in their restructuring process to close loopholes and save money. If Tenay and Taz aren't valuable, they are expendable.

They don't really bring much to the announce table really.
Hell you could replace taz with gravelly voiced EY, have taz as more of third wheel and let go of tenay since he has always been the weak link in the commentary
