Oh God, I don't know how someone so amazing on the mic could suck SO BAD on commentary.
I have just started watching some older WWF and he is just terrible. He doesn't know the name of any move (How the hell CAN'T YOU when you have been around it all your damn life)
Are the pre requisetes for almost every commentator in WWE/TNA to call every DAMN MOVE a maneuver or a shot or WHAT A HIT TO THE HEAD.
I mean the most BASIC MOVES these guys don't know. The only reason I can stand Mike Tenay is because he knows names to the most basic ones
Thank God for ROH
And anyways, yeah. What did you think of Vince commentating

Let's not forget the line he used for EVERY pinfall, even if it was off a shoulder block two seconds in ...
"1-2-3HEGOTHIMNOHEDIDN'T!"
DAMN, did Vince suck.
Jed Shaffer ~Imagine Vince and Fat Tony on commentary together. Without getting a headache.

He was better than Sean Mooney, but that's about it. Vince was atrocious. Forget calling the names of the moves, Vince's enthusiasm sounded completely forced......AND HE WAS CALLING THE ACTION FOR THE COMPANY THAT HE OWNED!

Vince was hugely hit or miss on the mic back then. Watch the match in the Waylon Mercy thread for proof of his suckyness
"ONE TWO THREE HE GOT HIM! NO HE DIDNT! YES HE DID! NO!"
ALL ON ONE NEAR FALL!
In conclusion? BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK BODY DROP!

There are times - many times, of late - where I actually miss Vince the commentator.
Since he was the main TV commentator when I was a kid he's the standard by which I compare most others. Many highs - Monsoon, JR of old, what I heard of Solie - many not - Cole, Schiavone at times, Bischoff, JR of the last few years.

Sure Vince sucked at naming moves, but he had an excellent energy and a great speaking voice. There's no way he could have carried commentary on his own, but that's why he was always paired with someone who actually DID know how to call the moves like Gorilla, Jim Ross, etc.

Even as a youngster, I was never fond of his color commentary. I did enjoy Sean Mooney though, so I'm slightly deranged.

Vince could put as much energy into his commentary for the opening match as he could for the main event. Its his product obviously he's going to try and make every match look good. I remember when he couldn't tell the bodydonnas apart.

Listen to Vince in the '80's and '90's....and then listen to Michael Cole today.
You'll begin to realize why Cole sounds like that. The fake laugh, the fake excitement......all a product of VKM (the man, not the faction).

I don't think he was that great, but it was certainly funny to hear his commentary in Wrestlemania, the Arcade Game
"PIN HIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!"
"SHARN MICHAELS vs. YO-KO-ZUNA"
"THIS IS A TOTAL DEBACLE!!!"

One thing Vince was good for was the intros to PPV's. I loved his intros for WrestleMania, Survivor Series, and the Royal Rumble.

I'm still holding out for the day that he's in the ring and someone like I don't know... Edge? Is on commentary so they can yell that famous line of "WHAT A MANEUVER!"
