i know this is probably tantamount to blasphemy to some fan boys on here but Renee Young needs to get off NXT commentary as well as Alex Riley. I mean there's only so many times I can hear "these girls just DO NOT like each other" but listening to her trying to play heel (I think?!) this week during the Vaudevilliains battering those midgets was painful. The entire NXT commentary is the only thing that spoils the show a bit for me because honestly they all suck. Renee is beautiful and she's great in backstage segments but damn she's horrible in the booth. Just talks too damn much.

I've said this for a while now. She's a diabolical commentator. Her main strength is looking nice and not fluffing lines in backstage interviews - do that. A commentator, she is not.

Her and Riley must be bipolar. In the opening segment, she's fawning over the midget murders while Riley cries foul, then later in the show he's endorsing CJ Parker while she poops on the Parker parade.

I agree completely. I thought I was crazy when nearly everyone here was talking about what a great commentator she was.
It's like having a somehow more annoying version of Matt Striker out there. "YESSSSSSS! Oh my god!! Midgets!" is way worse to me than Cole and the Gang's fake laughing.

Some of us have been saying it since she started commentating. She had a good first two weeks - her best work is with Regal - but then she got promoted to Superstars, disappeared from NXT for a bit and came back shockingly bad. She's good at backstage interviews, keep her there and doing pre-show stuff.

Holy smokes. Hate on Renee's commentary sure, but be nice. What makes her dumb? If any of us happened to be bad at commentary (though this is doubtful ) would it mean we're dumb? Personally I don't mind Renee's commentary, my least fav is that third guy on Smackdown who I don't remember the name of, but he's passable. And Matt Striker is freakin' gold.

I don't think it's blasphemy at all to acknowledge that she's f***ing terrible.

I don't mind that she flip-flops from heel to face, simply because, human beings are naturally like that. It's okay to like a certain person over another, regardless of whether or not that person is a good person, or a bad one.
She is horrible though, no denying it.

I liked her initially and thought she was a breath of fresh air, but she's really gone downhill.
She was noticeably bad on NXT this week; her and Riley dragged the show down in quality. She's a real main roster commentator now!

I've never been a fan, she has a nasally high voice.

She's good at backstage interviews, keep her there and doing pre-show stuff. That's the key thing, I think she's somebody that needs a strong partnership on commentary. She had good chemistry with Regal and due to his veteran status she could ask the professional journalist style questions and react accordingly, it was natural, quite laid back and not dissimilar from her backstage role. She can't do that with the other chumps that do NXT commentary, without a defined role and with nothing substantial for her to bounce off it doesn't quite work. It's not all the commentators fault though (even Riley), they need somebody experienced to help them improve but it just seems to be the blind leading the blind. Put her with somebody more professional like Regal, Foley or Heyman that can stick to a more defined commentary role and I think she'd be a lot better.

She's the best interviewer since Mean Gene, so why can't she just do that?
