I've started watching MLW and NWA and have enjoyed most of what I've seen. The NWA is enjoyably cheesy and I like some of the talent. Velvet, Joe Gatti and Tim Storm are all good as announcers, but...man, Austin Idol could be the most annoying announcer in any organization. He takes Cory Graves during Carmella's matches and the King during his most annoying days and goes, "I can top that." Anytime he opens his mouth, I just go "Shut up, Austin." Anyone else have an opinion?

Austin is new to the group I think but he was never needed. I really like Joe, Tim, and Velvet been good. I didn't think they needed to add Austin.

I can't stand Idol. I really like Joe, Tim and Velvet. It was nice not having a token heel on the booth. Meant people reacted to the heels like, you know, the heels are big jerks.

Velvet gets kinda grating from time to time. It's like, yeah, we know you don't like Matt Cardona, yeah, we know you perv out over Dirty Dango, please rein it in a bit.
But yeah, Idol's awful.

The whole heel announcer thing is so overplayed.
Ventura and Heenan were amazing. Lawler was good to a point. After that, almost everyone who has done it just comes off as annoying and trying to be be Ventura or Heenan.
Let it go.

I remember liking him (and JR or course) during that time, but now when I go back to it those episodes, he's awful, IMO. |
