I'm by no means a huge Tazz fan, I used to think he was great when he was on Smackdown, but now he seems a lot more tolerable than Tenay, for a long-serving babyface announcer, Tenay doesn't come across as likeable in the slightest, the second you question the morality of someone like Jeff Hardy or another babyface he bites your head off like a Youtube troll.
I hope to god there's a day when Tazz has enough and chokes Tenay out.

My main gripe with him is that he calls the action as if he's calling a replay, which he did in WCW but he had a play by play to call it in real time as well.
I've said it before, what we get now is emotionless, raw descriptive commentary from him.
So whereas, for example it should be "Oh big reversal, OHHH SWEET CHIN MUSIC OUTTA NOWHERE, MICHAELS WITH THE COVER, ONE TWO THREE WE'VE GOT A NEW WORLD CHAMPION"... it comes out "And michaels, reverses the DDT, hits him wit the sweet chin music, and it's one, it's two and it's three and Michaels picks up the title".
It just takes away any excitement.

The odd thing is, Tenay was fine in WCW when he was just the stat guy. He just popped in here and there with little 'rasslin tidbits that you wouldn't get elsewhere. It was a nice touch.
In TNA, he's forced to ham it up way too much. He's the shamelessly self righteous face guy. He's the hype guy. He's calling the matches. He doesn't shut up and it sucks.

He would just coat your screen in liquid facts. Never needed for anything else. He is not a play-by-play guy. |

That exact gif posted is what I think of when I think of Tenay. He'd be ok as like a side analyst or something, but dude is f***ing awful as the play by play guy.

Tenay can't show any emotion in his face and voice. Everything happening in the ring is treated the same by him.

I have this crazy conspiracy theory that the only reason he has a job is because his last name kinda sounds like "TNA"
