Things commentators say that annoy you

[Deleted]

- Jim Ross: "Triple H with that Harley Race-like knee"

Man said it every single night during the Reign of Terror. Kids who didn't know who Harley Race was quickly found out.

- Anyone: "Lunatic Fringe"

Props to Ambrose for saying he "can't be a goofball out there as champion" and has denounced the name numerous times and props to Mauro for calling him "The Kingpin" to erase it. However I give a shot at the Raw announcers who throw that in there anytime they can.

"That's it! We have a new champion!" is basically a guaranteed kickout.

[A Platypus Rave]

"rolling him onto his belly"

[Hypnosis]

"Knocked off" instead of pinned/defeated.

Sadly, it isn't just Cole who says it.

Whenever a commentator says a wrestler is laying in the prone position, when they're actually in the supine position. Mauro is the only one I'm aware of that gets the terminology correct.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

"The self-proclaimed Irish lasskicker, Becky Lynch."

Pretty much any time they ignore what the crowd is actually responding with as though we can't hear them clearly. It's not a specific word, but it's still very much "a commentary thing" and it's awful.

Any time JBL refers to someone as a flyin' anything.

When they do the "I was talking to (X) backstage, and (expository version of character motivation that should have been conveyed in a backstage segment instead so that the wrestler could actually get their character over)."

MAMA MIA! Yeah, it's new.. but it's already old.

[unc40]

When the commentators call Randy Orton a former Marine. I haven't heard it in a while so hopefully they've stopped but that is the most disrespectful thing you can say concerning the military.

Back during the Nexus invasion I would roll my eyes when I would hear the commentators say how the Nexus had the numbers advantage.

[Mozenrath]

"____ is sending a message!" or "_____ is making a statement!"

It's a decent enough sentiment, but it is overused. Please find different ways to phrase it.

[ASYLUMHAUSEN]

Every word that comes out of Cole's mouth.

Every word that comes out of JBL's mouth in his current incarnation.

Every word that comes out of Otungas mouth.

Other than that? I'm good.

"Shoots the half"...Michael Cole, shut up. I know what that means, and you're bullshitting us 99% of the time.

[G✇JI☈A]

When a someone returns or debuts:

'Could it be!? It Is!'

[Deleted]

"The face that runs the place"

Most every single thing Cole has ever said in his life.

[Malcolm]

STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD! STONE COLD!

Yes, I know I'm in the minority, but I don't care. It annoyed me.

[Nikki Heyman]

Everything Heel Cole said.

90% of what JBL says.

I've asked that you be banned from the forum for this.

"Soooooperman Punch!"

Everything Jibbles says

Pretty much anything from Corey Graves.
