TNA's New Announce Team

[amishassassin]

Who could they get to take over for these two. They are just awful. I loved Bobby Heenan as a color guy...if they could get him, i don't know what state he's currently in though. Who do you guys think would make a good announce team for TNA? They need to address this issue.

I think it would be a good idea to bring back a charasmatic former wrestler. I think Jericho or Austin would make good color guys. Are there any former TNA guys you can think of that would be good for the job?

[Sajoa Moe]

Simon Diamond did a great job when he was on guest commentary. I'm thinking him as a heel commentator and possibly Borash doing play-by-play.

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

Scott Steiner and..... that's it.

[Deleted]

Scott Steiner and Abyss.


Seriously, though, I'd go with Borash on play-by-play and maybe Cornette on color.

[BrodietheSlayer]

Jim Cornette and Paul Heyman....now THAT would be an interesting combo.

[8-BitAssassin]

I can put up with Tenay, but DW needs to go back to the home shopping network.

[Psy]

I've had enough from Cornette recently, I don't know that I'd like him on commentary. His voice is annoying after a very short time.

Who I'd like to hear on commentary... hmm....

Stevie Ray
Shane Douglas
Third person be a wrestler on the roster, preferably in a program, this slot would rotate weekly. It'd be a good way to push an extra angle every week without having large interview segments.

[amishassassin]

I could definitely go for a Borash/Cornette crew...Morgan looks good as a replacement for GM/Commish whatever they wanna call it

[slasher911]

In this case, I'd much rather have no one. Seriously, I have eyes, I can see what's going on. This is one reason why I like PWG.

[amishassassin]

I forgot about Douglas, he would probably make a great color guy

[TheDieselTrain]

Ernest "The Cat" Miller!!!!!!!!!!!!

[H-Fist]

Shane Douglas or Steve Corino need to be on air every week in the US. Both of them could be great at it. However, there has to be a babyface/neutral play by play guy to spar with them. I'd think that, when his wrestling days are over, Dustin Rhodes [yes, Goldust] would also make a good announcer. Really, this issue is that the two announcers now are selling the product. Put a true heel in there with them and make them work the commentary, and they won't have to sell the match.

[Hulk With A Mustache]

Wait, what happened to Don West and Mike Tenay!?

[Timmy8271]

Scott Hudson and Kevin Nash. Nash shouldn't be in the ring and Hudson is seriously underrated.

[YouStayClassy]

Never in my entire life have I been so elated by the title of a thread topic, and then so MASSIVELY disappointed to find it wasn't a news post.

Thanks a lot.

My dream TNA announce team...

Play-by-Play - Jeremy Borash
Color - Kevin Nash
Backstage - Scott Hudson
Ring Announcer - Dave Penzer

I always liked Tenay's gimmick of being the "international" guy in WCW...that would be cool...whenever an NJPW or AAA guy comes in, bring in Tenay to give the skinny.

I can't stand how much it sounds like Tenay and West's lines are all scripted for Impact! and fed to them for the PPVs.

[Joekishi]

Tony Schaivone or Scott Hudson as Lead PBP with maybe somebody like Simon Diamond doing color.

[GaTechGrad]

I think Tenay and West are great calling the action, but they need to have their mics cut during promo time.

Hall: Hey yo
Tenay: That's his signature catch phrase
Me: Well duh... you'd have to be living under a rock not to know that

[Aaron E. Dangerously]

A Tenay-Cornette team would be dreamy.

[KEJB]

How about someone new? I am sure there are huge wrestling fans, with degrees in Sports Broadcasting. Get someone fresh out there. I am tired of the "old guard" of re-hashed announcers. TNA needs to get their own identity. Like Joey Styles was for ECW. Not that extreme though. Someone in their mid-late twentys with knowledge of the business, and a non-regional voice. Team him with a wrestler such as Nash, Douglas, or Diamond and your good.
