Who in the blue hell would have thought when those three random Japanese guys hit the ring and attacked Taka Minchinoku 18 years ago, one of them would still actually be employed to today! To be fair Funaki was let go for a while  I think he was only rehired relatively recently to be Itami's translator. |

Can we have a English one with regal please I'd much rather get a Canadian commentary team that only discusses Bret Hart and apologizes for Kevin Owens. They'd also be still bitter about the Screwjob for some reason, even though Bret and Shawn Michaels reconciled a while ago. |

It was interesting that the Portuguese team were from Brazil. That's the primary language of Brazil. Yeah, that's like expecting the Spanish commentary team to be from Spain, or even the English announce team to be from England. |

One of the commentators will go on a long rant about the softwood lumber trade. |

I'm extremely disappointed that Ambrose and Lesnar didn't make their way over there and wreck every single announce team's table. That would have been glorious.

I'm very aware of that, but as someone else pointed out there is differences between Brazilian Portuguese. Just found it interesting that's all. The English/Spanish thing that someone else mentioned doesn't make sense seen as it's an American company and wrestling is absolutely huge in Mexico. Something odd, the French version on the Network isn't the French guys who were introduced? I had a quick look to see how good my French was these days (turns out not very!) and there was other guys talking over them. |

I didn't watch the PPV, how many were left standing by the end? At ringside, just the German table but not the German announcers. After being almost crushed to death by the cell falling on them they then had to deal with Triple H repeatedly throwing Roman at them. Funaki and most of the other announcers were at a safe distance in the stands thankfully! |

And all of them better than the jackasses we heard!! Nope, you wouldn't believe how awful the main german announcer is (the one on the right at Wrestlemania). And he's with the company since 1991 *sigh*. Corny as **** , uses stupid stupid translations... If you ever got tired of JBL or Cole putting Reigns over, they are shy and modest compared to him. I don't even dare to say his name in this thread out of pure disgust^^ Carsten Schaefer? (Only know that because I'm watching the Berlin Raw and he's ring announcer). |

It was interesting that the Portuguese team were from Brazil. Its the most populous Portuguese country. Like the English announcers are American and the Spanish announcers are Mexican. |
