Was he bad on commentary or was he simply out of his element? He wasn't THAT bad or annoying to me at least.

Both. He was awful and out of his element, though "Jamaican me crazy, Kofi" was the best line in years.

He probably would have gotten better,but they made being bad his gimmick.

Little to no knowledge of the business nor the product and thrown in at the deep end without having time to acclimatise himself. He was the non-wrestling Sin Cara.

Oh he was an awful commentator. Absolutely awful.
I liked the idea of him doing the little segments when he first debuted talking about the wrestlers and stuff (he has a great old school voice) but he was bad at that too.

He does the sports on NBC here and makes just as many botches as he did in WWE.

He made Michael Cole look like Joey Styles by comparison.

One of the finest announcers the WEDF has ever seen, IMO.

He was a real life Chet Harper, and it was awesome.

He was horrendous. Truly horrendous. It was borderline embarrassing watching/hearing him suck so badly on live television.

I still feel like they missed the boat on his RAW GM run by not giving him a Michael Scott gimmick.
Although it was weird that he was made GM at all.

Remember the botch where he was with Primo doing an interview but suddenly ended it to run over to John Cena (who just arrived and still had his bags) to ask him about what happened on the past weeks RAW. Cena had a what the hell kind of facial expression because he looked like he was going to say what are you doing here right now?

I was shocked at how much buzz he could drain from a segment. Does anyone remember the night he was crowned as GM? It being a mystery teased throughout the whole show, a bit like the anonymous GM with a pay-off, but as soon as he was revealed his first public act was to announce the relative (to the post-war era) dream match of Cena vs Batista, and the live crowd remained deadpan as a result of who was announcing it. Even Batista and Cena's reactions were a bit 'Seriously, you?'.

He didn't know what a drop kick was and mis-called that one time.

I will always have a soft spot for him because we went to the same high school.
