I'd go with:
1) Gordon Solie: Just hearing his voice makes me feel like I'm watching something that's damn important.
2) Jim Ross: Prior to his "BAH GAWD KEENG" days in the early 2000s, Good 'ol JR was THE MAN. His stuff in WCW was the best of his career, and it didn't change much when he transitioned into the WWF.
3) Gorilla Monsoon: He was great, but towards the end of his career he just gave off too many "he's breeding profusely from his latissimus dorsi" (etc.)

I think Jim Ross summed it up when he asked about the greatest play by play commentator (face or heel): "It's Gordon Soile, all of us are playing for 2nd place"

I must shamefully admit I never heard a solie called match. But if JR says it is so, I would be inclined to agree. But I have to say as much as I like JR, he was never as good as the gorilla at just purely entertaining you, even through a stale match.

Other: Roger Kent from the AWA From the list, I'd have to put 'em in this order: Monsoon, Tenay, Styles, Vince, and the others (with Ross in last place).

It would be a miscarriage of justice if Monsoon doesn't win this poll. He was by far the greatest professional athlete announcer in the world today. Amen.
