I loved the Savage, JR, Heenan combo.

Yeah, he was horrendous at the commentary table. Sometimes excellent promo skills just don't translate. Macho sounds like he's imitating a commentator, saying what he thinks he should be saying, constantly throwing out soundbytes and terrified to not shut the hell up. "Yeah Crush baby! Do the thing!". It was probably funnier in the early 90s but going back it's really awful. I hated how he'd butt in with some verbal diarrhoea and end up overshadowing JR's commentary. He just doesn't have a quarter of the chemistry Brain had with Monsoon or Vince.

I loved the Savage, JR, Heenan combo. I didn't. The start of WM9 angered me "The **** is this ****?" JR was awful that year. He was like the commentary position equivalent of Bob Backlund circa 93. A "howdy-doody, just happy to be here" wet pair of knickers. Heenan would just bully him and his response would be "Okay siree!" there was no chemistry or personality there at all. |
