I know we do the "greatest announcing job ever"thread occasionally. So what about the calls that aren't usually on that list? What famous quotes stuck with you but don't seem to have done so with the majority?
"And Taz has been eliminated....Taz has been eliminated? TAZ has-been-eliminated!" Joey Styles sold the shock of that moment so well and the aftermath was a great story itself. The man was nearly unbeatable in ECW and the utter shock of him losing so early was sold very well(I know everyone knew, but even at that it didn't lessen the moment or the call)

"Hulk Hogan you can go to hell." It seems Bobby's line always gets discussed but I rarely see Tony given credit for how he called the Hogan turn. The same goes for Dusty - "Who bad now? Who bad now?"

I don't remember the exact quote but JR was calling a recent hell in a cell that had Miz and Truth doing a run in and beating the babyface, the door was closed and triple h was trying to open it, JR went something like. "Open the damn door, help then for god's sake, hurry up, open the damn door."

Bob Uecker announcing......"Andre....THE GIANT!".......It stills lives (I think, I don't watch anymore) in the signature at the top of the show...Whenever I think of Andre, I think of how Uecker announced him at Mania 3.

Bobby Heenan going crazy at the conclusion of Goldberg vs. Hogan. He was salivating to see Golberg put down Hogan and become the champion.

Michael cole at NXT season 3 (everyone keeps praising Punk)Cole would tell people to stop watching and that the show was terrible regardless of what was happening, no?

I know people give him a lot of shit, but I think Tony Schiavone was a good commentator, and he made that turn seem like it was wore then Judas.

Vince talking over Andre's entrance in the SNME Battle Royal in Mar '87. He goes over his and Hulk's history, and how they were "like brothers" and how Hulk looked up to Andre and all. Then when he says "But now look at him," sh*t gets real, and Vince sounds like he is on the verge of crying when he talks about how Andre harbored resentment and jealousy. I can recite most of this spiel by heart, 27 years later.
On the topic, anyone remember a WM3 press conference where someone mentions that Hulk looked up to Andre, and Heenan says, "Of course, he's 7-foot-5!"
