Out of curiosity is Joey styles still in the business? Also did Schiavonne do a decent job for MLW? Tony did a good job in MLW (I thought he still there.) Joey Styles went MIA since that accident several years back. To answer the question. I just want the action to be called like a sport but have a voice that not so annoying (see Josh Mathews). I also don't need someone repeat and Narrate promos as they happen. See Mike Tenay in TNA. The guy legit would do that. I'm like shut the hell up Mike and let the wrestlers tell the story. I don't need you telling me there story. Don West was worse about it, but given Tenay would do it, too, I have to imagine that was some kind of edict passed down to them. It was so obnoxious. I wouldn't really want Styles, since I think yeah, he can be fine, but he also cannot be relied on to have a filter, and will just throw out shit like what got him fired. For a company that relies even more on the internet than WWE does for promoting things, they do not need or want someone like Styles.

Really so long as you keep Jim Ross out of it and it isn't made up of a bunch of uncool soulless shills like WWE, or someone trying desperately hard to be memed like Mauro, I'll be reasonably happy.

No heel announcers. I feel like almost everyone who's tried to do this since Ventura and Heenan have just been bad copies of Ventura and Heenan.
No screaming and overselling everything.
I'd like to see them call it like a legit sporting event. Tony Schiavone pre-Nitro or Jim Ross pre-WWE styles of play by play.

Schiavone, Striker and Don West would be a great commentary team.

Oh I know. He probably enjoys working in NXT, as well as doing other shows (boxing/MMA). I still think he'd be perfect for them.

Any combination of...
Matt Striker Jim Ross Joey Styles Tony Schiavone Mike Tenay Don West
I rate all of these commentators. Striker is my favourite “color” commentator though.

Here's what I DON'T want. - I don't want Mark Madden-type "smark" snark who verbally fellate heels just because.
- I don't want Larry Zbyszko-type disinterest where the commentator spends more time blabbing about other topics.
- LI don't want 2010 JBL-type randomly berating others and having "We're having FUN!" shtick.
That's all I ask.

If he can keep doing those performances then he can be their Joey Styles/Jim Ross. Not sure how they will explain the mask though. Don't need to explain it. Id also suggest some of the earlier(2010-2011) episodes of Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, if you can find them. He was part of the commentary team in that era, and it was a PG show played completely straight. Dude knows his audience. I doubt AEW will be PG though...The Elite definitely seem more geared to Teens/Young adults

Plus outside of Joey Ryan/Hangman Page stuff, BTE easily fits the TVPG guidelines. Just because WWE doesn't do something does it mean than it isn't PG.

Can I have Tenay back as the third man in the Professor/analyst role? That'd be swell.

I thought Ian Riccaboni was great at All In, he would be cool to have but he's an ROH guy. I like Excalibur too so I would be cool with him also. I would like to have a relatively new voice. I like JR, Joey Styles, and Schiavone, but we need new guys in there.

I honeslty dont have anything specific,just something that sounds natural and not full of buzzword.
I kinda want commentary to not know results beforehand,i want legit reactions.

Genuine natural emotion and not overproduced yelling at their ear commentary. I’m talking Lance Russell getting angry when someone cheated or prime Jim Ross losing his objectivity by yelling that “they killed Mick Foley”. "They killed him!" is one of my favourite calls.

I will always think that “they killed him” was a reference of the wrestling business in general and every promoter who ever asked him to take a dangerous bump.
