Even connected to wrestling. I loathe Conrad Thompson's accent. I mean really bad.
As far as wrestling itself, Luna Vachon's voice she used was supposed to be bad, and she did that very well.
Randy Savage was fine, but the voice wasn't something I needed to hear a lot of, especially on commentary.
I missed Mick's Cactus Jack voice after he stopped using it. I remember thinking it was pretty wild when I first heard him use his regular voice when they showed him shooting the shit with Terry Funk as the ring was being set up on a pre taped segment for Raw.
You?

Bill Alfonso. I get that it was supposed to be irritating, doesnt mean I wanted to hear it on a regular basis.

There's that commercial for that WWE mobile phone game where it features a bunch of promos from guys like Stone Cold, Randy Savage and stuff, and then peppered in there is Seth Rollins cutting some generic line about how he's gonna destroy someone and it was such a bad fit. I don't generally hate his voice but he's not a great promo, and hearing him in that context where it's surrounded by a bunch of legendary talkers, didn't fit in at all.
Braun Strowman sounds ridiculous when he cuts a promo that's more than a sentence long. His voice sounds so put on that it comes off really phony, especially because WWE scripts guys so poorly.

I know being goofy and slightly over the top was what he was going for, but Vince McMahon as the babyface announcer was always a chore to listen to. The put upon laugh, the quasi growling when calling a finishing move, and the endless repetition of "Unbelievable!" or "What a maneuver!", it just gets to be too much. It didn't help that during much of his run Gorilla and JR both outclassed him in doing dramatic or exciting calls, let alone doing actual analysis of the match.
This is all just announcer Vince though, as a character post 1997 the voice fits him like a glove and works most of the time.

 Others: X-Pac, Charlotte, Nia Jax, Mark Madden, Michael Cole, Stephanie McMahon, Pete Rosenberg, and Eric Young. That's all I can think of for now. |

Paul Heyman. Could never stand him on commentary. Can't stand his promos.

Kevin Kelly has one of the worst voices for commentary I've ever heard in my life. Also he sucks at commentating in general which makes it 1000x worse.

There was definitely a big difference between announcer Vince from the 70's and early 80's from announcer Vince post-mid 80's. I always wondered if he wasn't trying to mimic Gorilla Monsoon's excited voice. Others from the announcer's booth... Mark Madden, Jerry Lawler and JBL were always grating to the point of struggling to tune them out. Chyna was pretty awful. |

WWE should have just kept her as a silent badass. |

Michael Cole has had plenty of moments where he's pretty decent, but when he's in obvious "Vince is telling me to say this" mode, his voice is unbearable.
