He used to do this weird thing with his voice where he would make it quieter but act like he was shouting. I noticed this last night when I was watching Foleys DVD. When Shawn comes out at the mind games match, Vince does his big shpeel about how great shawn is in this voice but then mr perfect says something during it and he's so loud. Hopfully you know what I mean but it made me laugh.

As a kid, Vince was the pandering Babyface announcer. I remember Saturday morning Superstars, (The hour long show) "Hello everyone this is Vince McMahon and with me as always is Jesse "The Body" Ventura amd "The Living Legend" Bruno Sammartino. Vince would kiss up to the Baby faces, Jesse would side with the heels, and chastize McMahon for his double Standards when Vinny would cheer for a Face who was cheatin' "Why don't youcall it like it is McMahon?" and when the heel would cheat "It ain't cheatin' if you don't get caught" Keep in mind wrestling was directed at a lot of kids, and Vince and Jesse played the Angel and Devil (If ever in doubt as to a wrestlers allignment, the announcers would let you know). Of course Bruno didn't do jack....(He'd litteraly sit there silent occasionally Jesse would take a shot at him and then he might say something, then during the slo-mo replay of the end of the match, Bruno would add in some pearls of wisdom, stating the blindingly obvious. "THen Machoman gets to the top rope and what elevation he gets off there." Although my favorite, most entertaining announcing duo was the anatomical encyclopedia Gorilla Monsoon, and Bobby "The Brain" heenan. LOL @ Vince being the angel Remember the angle with God? OF course ya do

Vince was always my favorite commentator, he was just so goody goody two shoes and as a kid I just ate it up. When Shawn Michaels was standing on the commentary table telling Vince to suck it while Vince was absolutely disgusted by the gesture and Shawn's attitude, I was booing Shawn all the way because to me Vince just seemed like such an undeserving target to be picked on by the likes of DX. Part of me always hoped he'd go back to commentary as a heel this time around.

I always thought that the reason commentators don't seem to know the names for a lot of moves is to make the commentary more understandable. I mean, a non wrestling fan would be perplexed by "Oh what a great wrist clutch burning hammer!" and would have no problem with "OH MY GOD WHATTAMANUVER!"

If he did commentary nowadays, would his ass get its own headset?

80's Flashback... "HEADBUTT BY THE DOG!!!!!!!" re. Junkyard Dog He was a hundred times better on the stick than his offsider Bruno Sammartino! Who was later replaced by the legend himself Jesse 'The Body' Ventura!

80's Flashback... "HEADBUTT BY THE DOG!!!!!!!" re. Junkyard Dog There was an episode of SNME in 1987 where JYD is screwed by Danny Davis, and Vince screams "get 'em Dog, get 'em Dog!" It sounds funnier when you actually hear it. Vince tried too hard. It came naturally to Monsoon and JR, but it seemed completely forced by Vince.

The Body was great because he would bust Vince's chops every now and then (the double standard thing is a good example). But Jesse was great because he tried to put everybody over, including jobbers ("This SD Jones is no slouch" he'd say) But Vince was the slobbering fanboy given a microphone. And his fake laugh was crazy annoying.

I think it's UNBELIEVABLE... UNBELIEVABLE that anyone would think Vince sucked.

He always seemed into it, but sometimes he did get to be too much, and he definately overhyped guys sometimes, he was good, but to a point

I remember I wanted to learn the names of the moves. And for awhile, I always thought the name for the move, "hip toss" was "Over the hip" because whenever someone would do that move, that's what Vince would say.

I will always love his Commentary for Summerslam 92
"What are doing wearing that redicilous looking crown, you look like a posterboy for a margerine commercial"
As shawn puts Sherri on his shoulder and her buttcheeks are are screen "Is that Jupiter"

I didn't like him back in the day because it would always be "Solar Plexus" this "Solar Plexus" that, but looking back it was cool because since he was running the show he knew what to hype.
