I need a whole lotta context on this. It doesn't seem to have happened recently but the dude is big into "woke indoctrination in our schools" although with squaredcircle down I can't remember if he thinks the kids are being turned gay or simply becoming second class to black people, but it's one of the two If that catches attention and is true as you say with like receipts and such, Kevin Kelly will not have a job there for long lol

Not enough to actually get him in trouble esp with some of the other people on the roster but Kevin Kelly is also completely insufferable on the show in addition to being *at least some kind* of raging bigot

Now whenever I watch the Eric Andre Show I'll hear "It's the Andre El Idolo shooooooow" with Andrade wrecking the set doing a bunch of spots on all the shows cast.

I knew he was bad vibes when he didn't start the show with "It's Saturday Night, and you know what that means".

It was honestly nice to not hear Excalibur do his stupid ass speed reading crap thing tonight. I don’t know why, but that bugs the heck out of me.

"Kaz-Zoo-Cheek-Ka Okada" "Andrade El Ee-Dee-Eee-El-Oh" "And-Roddy" "Andre Idolo" "Andrade Idol" Dude was all over the place tonight. Keep up the mispronunciations and he'll be like Ricky from Trailer Park Boys.

What's Tom Phillips doing? He was AWESOME on NXT. On Impact with Aiden English He’s still really good as well but I think he recently signed a new deal with Impact so likely wouldn’t be available. I still don’t understand why WWE ever got rid of him as he’s infinitely better than everyone they’ve tried on Raw since he left (I like Vic Joseph but I believe Tom was after him on Raw). From their time in NXT he also works better with Corey Graves than anyone else.

WWE gets really weird with commentary; him and Corey always felt like the future 2 man combo for the forseeable future but they never let them just work with each other, it was always a 3 man team

I burst out laughing when Malaki Black whispered to Andrade and Kevin Kelly goes to Nigel “What did he say Nigel?”.
As if Nigel would have heard that lol.
Also the announcer called Buddy Matthews Buddy Murphy so rough night for announcers in general.

Yeah, rough night for Kev Kel.
I've been less and less happy about his NJPW work the last few years to be honest, he slips into inside-jokey, fake being annoyed at something too much, but him and Chris Charlton complement each other so well it's usually not too egregious.
I'm not going to write him off after one show but he's gotta get better. I think this is one case where a second color person would help the play by play caller. Put a Caprice Coleman or Veda Scott in at the desk and the other two get better as well.

Bad commentator or not.
