He seemed totally disinterested from my point of view and more interested in plugging his own shows than calling any of the action. When posed questions about the actual wrestling he either whiffed or deflected.
I'm all for guest commentators being thrust into the world and absorbing it and getting into it, Duhamel sounded like it was all a total waste of his time. And it made the whole thing come off bad.
It's the opinion I and others shared. If it didn't bug you, fine. Can we not default to "I THOUGHT IT WAS OK, THIS BOARD HATES EVERYTHING GOSH!" when we're criticizing a subject please? I think That attitude is a blow back from "you like the product, what's wrong with you attitude?" I don't think either are right, but this problem has been underlying for a while Ive enjoyed things about the product and also contested why people might like or hate something and it's had the tendency to blow up unnecessarily on my ends as well. I'm just saying it's a depreciation thread you don't need to click on and even if you do you can speak your mind in a more civil manner and say why you didn't think it was bad. Tacking on a "This board hates everything" statement to the end of your claim is a moth to a flame statement where no one wins. It's not that serious.

Jushin Dondelinger. I have no real comment, as I muted the segment. I just wanted to get in on this.

I dislike that attitude and those who go into appreciation threads to start flame wars

The following pretty much sums up the way I see it. Have we really sunk to calling out somebody who has never had any experience in the wrestling world... who was probably thrown onto the air solely due to his next movie being produced by WWE... who has never in his life done sports-entertainment commentary... we're really gonna shit this much on him? He sounded disinterested? He was making comments as much as he could for somebody that probably has little to no knowledge of the product! Making comments of how hard hitting they are and such. And he's "interested in plugging his own shit"... well what's he supposed to do when Corey Graves keeps asking him about what he's working on every thirty seconds! Maybe there's sarcasm in this that I'm just not picking up on, but if this is really a genuine depreciation thread, it just feels like grasping at straws to criticize everything WWE puts out, including this. He seemed like he was enjoying what the wrestlers did even though he didn't know much about the show. I swear this board hates everything. Well, I'm not sure it's this whole board, but yeah, I get the point. Mostly, I wish someone would do a "how many threads have been started by___" just to show how disproportionate things are in the different corners of the forums. He seemed totally disinterested from my point of view and more interested in plugging his own shows than calling any of the action. When posed questions about the actual wrestling he either whiffed or deflected.
I'm all for guest commentators being thrust into the world and absorbing it and getting into it, Duhamel sounded like it was all a total waste of his time. And it made the whole thing come off bad.

I was enjoying the match, couldn't make heads or tails what any of those bozos were talking about.

Jeez and I made post few days ago about the time WWE brought in Aaron Paul or Ashton Kutcher/Danny Masterson to do guest commentary when you can tell they weren't fans/casual but we're more interested in what was going on.
Difference being Aaron Paul had the luxury of calling a 5 min match or Ashton Kutcher/Danny Masterson had some casual knowledge and could play off each other to goof around.
Duhamel had the misfortune of calling a match that seemed to be like 20 mins long with bunch of commercial breaks with barely any product knowledge and doesn't have a buddy to bail him out.

I didn't watch how Jay-Jay Ducokocha but it seems like a bad idea to put people on commentary that don't quite know the product. Like, you don't watch an NFL game and suddenly have Debra Messing appear during a play to promote the new season of Will & Grace. They do it during baseball games all the time though.

Because baseball is a much slower paced sport and you can get away with that. It's not like you'll be interrupting very much.
