Yeah, he could be a tad annoying at times, but at least he was energetic and had a style all his own.

Don tried his damndest to explain virtually unexplainable storylines to find some logic. Plus he forced Tenay to give a damn.

People said he repeated stuff. I never noticed. In fact, I don't give two shits if he did! You guys need to get over it!
The man acted like he loved the product and put it over. I want my Pele!

He was annoying as a face and brilliant as a heel. At least from what I remember

I miss him too. He got a raw deal IMO. His heel character got over and he was really contributing when they brought in Tax and made him hock their cheap merchandise. Don I love ya.

As already said, he was often annoying, but that guy tried his hardest to actually make you believe that the product was worth a damn. Whereas Taz and Tenay usually sound like two drunk dudes announcing a golf match or something. TNA really needs a good announce team, if the announcers are into things it's a lot easier for viewers to get into things.

Heel Don West was pointless but majestic. Loved that shit. Then they took him off TV. Sigh.

Blame Tenay for being a SELFISH PRICK. He didn't have the balls to speak up and save his best friend's job.

heel don west is one of my favorite things in wrestling in the last 5 years or so. he pissed off tenay like taz does, but did it without phoning it in and taking the piss out of the show. i didn't see much of him as a face because he turned shortly after i started watching tna, but as a heel he was hilarious and stretched logic to new extremes to agree with his heel brethren.

His heel turn was one of the funniest things that ever happened on Impact.

Thanks for posting that video. Heel West was a million times better than Taz.

DID YOU HEAR THAT? HE THINKS WE NEED TO GET OVER IT! If you never noticed him doing that, then you never heard him when someone was cutting a promo. It was nails on chalkboard. He also ran out of breath and wheezed from screaming so damn much. I have heard worse commentary, certainly, but he had some really irritating bad habits. I did like that he acted like he cared, he just needed to have a different speed in there, or it gets to be too much. |
