Sheesh.
You know how we’re always going on about “burials” and all that. Let’s be honest, 99% of it is implied but never out and out said. Well, I don’t think you need the quote marks for this. Graves (and by Graves, you really mean Vince) put the boots to her there.

So since Graves has been a lousy announcer for years, they should just cut his ass too right?

There's being a heel commentator and there's just being an asshole.

Graves (and by Graves, you really mean Vince) put the boots to her there. Yeah, it was quite blatant and surprising. Corey completely tore into her as a performer and person on the roster and all but said she was taking a spot from someone better. Harsh and odd. |

What are the odds that he was told to shit on her?
Like, I think Dana sucks, but why bother putting her on TV just to eviscerate her?

To be clear, it's very likely Graves was fed this line.

It honestly felt like a personal attack on her for some reason and idk if it is because of a falling out with something to do with Carmella or whatever but there was no excuse to basically call for Dana to be fired by him let alone any commentator.
I am all for when Corey loses his shit within the confines of the show but again this felt personal for him to go in on her like that.

I doubt Corey has enough freedom and or clout to just take a shot at someone because of his own personal beef. This is just his role now as the guy who has to mouth dialogue anytime Vince wants to go full sociopath |

Yeah, it's weirdly shooty and there are a lot better ways for a heel commentator to dunk on someone than say "she deserves to lose her job."
Then again, knowing how much Vince is in everyone's ears on commentary, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he was fed this line.

Hey remember when Corey Graves was such a massive piece of shit to Mauro that the poor guy literally could not do his job?

This is just his role now as the guy who has to mouth dialogue anytime Vince wants to go full sociopath Perhaps but I cannot put it past him considering the way he tends to just fly off at the mouth (like Twerkin just brought up about Mauro) and when he starts arguing with Saxton and he clearly then has to stop himself , but I have mentioned this before though alot of people give Graves credit because he is one of few comentators who can talk at the same time someone is talking to them in their ear , Matt Striker is the other one people bring up that have this ability as a commentator. So again not saying it was absoloutley some personal attack maybe Graves is just that damn good at his job but it definetly came off as one. |

If you listen to the next 30 seconds or so, Corey continues his tirade but starts pausing unnaturally (someone talking in his ear?) and he adds an “in my opinion” before turning it around into a compliment to Shayna. So I actually do think it was coming from Corey and not from someone in his ear. I think if anything someone told him to cut it out.
This was bad commentary. This was on par with Heel Cole when he’d bring up legitimate flaws of wrestlers.

But Corey, what have you achieved?
I'm glad he has a job but, honestly, he could be released today and replaced with, say, Wade Barrett, and nothing would change.
The birds would sing, the fish would swim, and he'd just be somewhere else doing the same thing he's done all these years.
And if it was Vince, why don't you just not use the services of your "independent contractor" anymore? Continue to build your exploitative empire on the blood of new people.

That really sucked. Probably Vince but it sucks how Graves has become his heel-commentator-puppet.

When he was a wrestler he was called a Punk ripoff
Now that Punk keeps doing commentary again, Punk is better than Graves at that too. Hooray!

And to top it off, Zod help us all, he will be calling Carmella matches from now on.

Hey remember when Corey Graves was such a massive piece of shit to Mauro that the poor guy literally could not do his job? If I'm correct that was the final straw too, since I don't think Mauro came back after that and eventually departed? (He may have for a little bit I can't recall) Also Jonathan Coachman recently saying Corey Graves flat out refused to ever work with him. Dude's just a big prick, Jesse Ventura, Bobby Heenan knew how to be heels but still supportive of the people they were "against where them complaining would be getting the good guys over somehow. |
