Cole and Jonathan Coachman were absolutely terrible as the commentary team on Smackdown, yet they got to call the MAIN EVENT of Wrestlemania 24. I love The Coach, but in this role he really was the shits. Michael Cole constantly pointing this out as well and persistently giving the guy a hard time on air made it worse (sort of the first glimpse we got of heel dickhead Cole).

If you are looking for turgid commentary, I put forward WWF's 'The Big Event' from 1986 featuring Gorillia Monsoon, Ernie Ladd & Johnny Valient in the booth.

I remember thinking during the PPV just gone that it was the worst ever - not only were JBL/Lawler/Cole their usual disorganised and aimless selves (rarely putting over the moves or action), they were also so disconnected from what we were seeing that they were ignorant of the rules of the triple threat elimination match.
Embarassing.
Commentary is one of the many areas that VKM has always been terrible in executing, putting every barrier in the way of bona-fide talented announcers like Jim Ross and Joey Styles and having an attachment to the cancerous leech that is Jerry Lawler.
Even when Monsoon/Ventura and Monsoon/Heenan were at their peak he would mess around with the booth so that we wouldn't get to hear them all the time.

royal rumble 10/11 were pretty bad. Striker ruins EVERYTHING by overreacting OOOH AAAAH Yeah, I hate when commentators get excited for things with legitimate reactions, and try to put guys over. i have no problems with jr going nuts for austin or jbl for barrett, but striker over-reacted for every single thing. he talked over other announcers and at one stage cole pretty much asked him to calm down. |

King of the Ring 1994.. Art Donovan anyone? Oh and the portion of Wrestlemania 2 (IIRC New York) that Vince and Susan St James called.. "UUUHHH OHHHHH" six million times, in that voice. Arghhhhhh. I mentioned those specifically in the opening post. |

Worst announcer ever? Watch the first Raw on the WWE network. Hint-I am not talking about Vince or Macho Man ...

King, did you get that out of that joke book you've been using for 20 years?
