Both men were mainstays with WCW during certain eras and I think largely forgotten since they hadn't been with a major promotion for some time. I know Gary has, or still done, his book tour which is popular and Dave maintains a twitter. He had a really good but short interview with Lex Luger a few years back at an autograph signing where Lex was really happy to see him.
I think both guys were great but something about David I liked a bit better, maybe it was the deeper voice. I do also think Gary holds some bitterness about leaving WWF many years ago. Him calling Vince "Vinny" seemed less of trying to be funny and more of a personal bitterness towards him because he didn't stay on during the glory years.
Again, I thought both guys were great and they both fit the era really well-Gary with the earlier days or WCW where it was a wrestling promotion but not exactly competition with WWF while Dave was during the "War" days and fit well with that.
The worst, of course was Michael Buffer. I never got his "gimmick" and didn't care about him telling me a guy wore a certain color with a certain trim and spending such a long time on the announcements. He was an overused example of a celebrity who didn't care about the product and was just there for the pay day, much like a WWE Raw guest host era celebrity. And he really confused me with the Randy Peterson announcement. I thought it was like bizarre world Dave/Earl Hebner. I thought there were two twin guys named Randy but they had two different last names {Anderson and Peterson, because Buffer botched the announcement).
