Anyone got the awkward white guy high five between West and Tenay? Thanks to Google and Frito Bandito. Don West was seriously one of my favorite announcers and it was hard for me to watch TNA after Don West left. I'm actually serious. It was the first nail of SuperSweet's not watching TNA anymore coffin. Also that high five is one of my favorite moments in wrestling period! I still don't get why people hated Don West. Like who cares if this shit doesn't make sense, as long he's having fun with it you will be having fun. Also he made big moments seem to be really big moments that only TNA can deliver. Like Primetime's walking on top of the cage hurricarana, AJ Styles vs. Abyss Lockdown 2005, Raven winning KOTM, etc.

It's funny, Don West started out rubbish, got good, got kinda stale and then became amazing when he "turned heel". I sincerely miss him and every time I hear Taz speak, I get a little sad. Even at his worst, least West always had excitement in his calling of the show. I was so pissed when heel color commentator Don West got replaced by Taz, he was awesome in that role. I was right there with you. I felt West was hitting his peek with the role and really coming into being an announcer with some serious potential. Maybe not Monsoon, JR, and Brain level, but still head and shoulders above most modern wrestling announcers in the big two. Then they gave us Tazz without the WWE leash that clearly kept him from being complete crap.

I miss Homicide and LAX but... Don West? There was a massive, massive anti- Don West presence here on the Crap forums. On every forum. I remember every single "What should TNA do.." post started and ended with hatred for Don West. Now a few years pass and he gets love. Weird. I think he was 10 times worse than Taz on his worst day. I enjoyed heel West for the what, 3 weeks he did it. But other than that Don West marked out loud for every single move, annoyed the hell out of me and people in the IWC HATED him. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I guess. I've been reading these forums since late '06, and I can't remember any positive words said about the guy. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that literally everybody hated him - I can't think of one fan the guy had here before his "heel turn". And even after that, the majority of the board still wasn't a big fan of him.

Well, when he gets replaced with Insipid Taz Commentary, I think that will help the missing Don West train chugging along.
