TRAGIC: the G1 ends on Sunday

[Fake Jesus]

Saturday is probably our last trip to the Riccabonezone.

[Facetious]

Noooooo I don't want to hear Kevin Kelly ever again

[Cyno]

Maybe someone can convince Kevin Kelly to just... stay in Japan. >_>

[Mid-Carder]

Can't we just not tell Kevin Kelly that it's finished?

[Celexa Bliss 54]

Can't they just swap Kelly to ROH and keep Ian on Collision?

[Ishmeal Loves Kaseyhausen]

Obligatory Veda Scott mention.

Begging Ian to stay at the booth

I was not feeling Kevin at all and Ian and Nigel have an insane chemistry

Pretty sure it was Ian’s choice to stay on ROH. Doesn’t wanna be on the road too much, has a life and job outside of wrestling, ROH schedule just works better for him.

[Kalmia]

Yay for getting Eddie Kingston back.

Boo for getting Kevin Kelly back.

A true double-edged sword.

Yeah apparently they offered him Collision first but he recommended Kelly.

Kelly's been atrocious during the G1 as well

I don't know who has a problem with Veda Scott in the front office, but I need them to shut up and put her in Collision.

I still don't understand how someone who has worked for a Japanese promotion as long as Kelly is so bad at pronouncing Japanese names.

YES! Ian and Veda have been great together on some NJ Strong shows I've heard them call, and add in Nigel too and you've a fun, young, energised 3-person booth.

I was all for that before Collision started but it's way too serious and self-important a show for someone so fun so now I get it, she'd be wasted there.

Commentating on weird shit on rampage would suit her better. Or Dynamite but there's not likely to be an opening there for a while.

I've switched to Japanese commentary because Kelly has gotten so bad.

During The BOSJ he wouldn't shut up about an onion.

You know its a shame cause once upon a time, Kevin, Chris Charlton and Rocky Romero were THE best announce team in all of wrestling; Kev let Rocky shine as an amazing color guy and Chris get all his knowledge and analysis in.

But Rocky's gone off now and focused more on in-ring stuff with CMLL (and is killing it) and while Kev and Chris can still be a great team-sometimes!-I think all the praise has gotten to Kevin's head a bit- he was always better as the straight guy but he's trying WAY too hard to be funny and irreverent on commentary these days, and its really offputting.

And the japanese commentary is absolutely awesome anyway lol

[Mr Mario Mario]

I need that big show why graphic here

Stupid Ian with his stupid loyalty to his family (Joke obviously as I respect the heck out of him putting his family first) but damn it does suck

Could we maybe get the impact commentary recording booth back and just dub him in afterwards?
