Talking in the other thread about how Cole next sounds excited or like a real person reminds me of how great Don West was. Yeah he wasn't a traditional wrestling guy but my god he was enthusiastic and made the awesome segments moments even more spectacular.
His brief heel turn was gold too. Guy was hilarious.
Replacing him with Tazz was one of Hogan's first mistakes.

Face or heel, I loved Don West. I loved the drunk references from Tenay about West; go back to the bar, etc.

Replacing him with Tazz was one of Hogan's first mistakes. Tazz made Josh Matthews sound like Gordon Solie. How many times did I have to hear YAMBAG! And people complained about Lawler's "Puppies", but when Tazz was on, we had to sit through "Let the pigeons loose!" |

I think you guys have a nostalgia for an age that never existed. West was horrible.

I remember when everyone was soooo happy when it was announced tazz was replacing Don West. It’s when TNA started going downhill for me (really start of the Hogan run). Don West brought such child like enthusiasm to the product and his heel run was funny as shit. Tazz turned out awful as hell in TNA and made me miss Don West greatly.

Came in knowing nothing but was so enthusiastic and learned so much and became amazing. I still marvel at seeing him at house shows getting people to just keep buying I’ll never forget seeing a guy infront of me that only wanted a pic with Velvet sky but Don upsold him to get the autograph,8x10’s,a banner,a couple knockouts DVD’s,a Fortune T-Shirt and a Guitar and probably an oil change and tuneup it was amazing when it was my turn I just shook his hand and said “You’re a magnificent bastard but your charms won’t work on me” I got my pic with Velvet and left having spent like 10 bucks while the guy infront of me spent atleast $200 and he wasn’t the only one Don pulled his voodoo magic on there were many others. |

I always had a feeling that I would miss West when he was gone, despite hating him while he was around. Then he turned heel and he was suddenly one of my favourite things in TNA. Then they brought Taz in, and he was decent but... man I missed Don.
Don put over EVERYBODY. He really did. He wasn't good at it, but he tried.

His heel run was tremendous. Way too short-lived.

My favourite heel West moment.
"Taylor is the kind of girl you take home to your mum. Then you leave here there and sneak out to meet Daffney."
Tenay: "Where does that leave Kong?"
West: "Hopefully at your house."
