The answer to this, and every other "worst announcer" question, is always Mauro Ranallo. He's so bad, he makes me wish wrestling and sports didn't exist, just so I wouldn't have to hear him. He actively makes me hate that humans can speak. I get not liking a commentator, there are times where I can find Mauro super overbearing at times, but at least he sounds interested and enthusiastic, but to have this level of hatred for a man because of commentary in a worked sport is pretty damn sad.

Vampiro is definitely up there. His wannabe gangsta voice is so grating on the ears. I'm perplexed by the fact that people complain way more about Matt Stryker on LU commentary than vampiro. It's like when you're in a community college class and the guy that says he's gonna be famous rapper someday goes up to talk for five minutes about his career choice. Except it goes on for an hour while lucha libre happens.

There's people that have been worse talent wise, but nobody I've detested more This is an excellent point but for me there Madden isn't worst in either. Bartlett was absolutely terrible, and more hateable. Adamle was much more likeable but less competent. Matthews is definitely capable of way more than Madden - even being a C show WWE announcer takes more skill than Madden displays - but was somehow even less likeable than Madden.

Truthfully, during my rewatch of Nitro last year, I didn't mind Madden at all. In fact, he made me laugh a few times.

Even more unpopular: it was an improvement on Bobby Heenan at the time. Bobby, god bless him, was just a shell of his former self at that point.

I kinda liked Josh Matthews and Matt Striker in WWE. Haven't heard Striker outside WWE, but Matthews in TNA/Impact was atrocious.

Josh Matthews. He went out to try and pick a fight with everyone who criticized his terrible commentary. Josh is somebody who actually needed Vince in his ear. Vince could keep him somewhat under control. I think his biggest problem is his tone of voice. He sounds like a pre pubescent sean Mooney and it makes it hard to take him seriously as a credible announcer. Even when he gets excited, it sounds disingenuous.

Seriously. Dude was the "*autistic screeching*" meme come to life, before that meme even existed.

Meh, I enjoyed Madden as commentator, but I've only seen a few PPVs with him calling the action. I wasn't watching weekly at the time. If I was, I'd probably have a different opinion.

Worst I have ever heard is Lanny Mixon. But for someone that people would actually know the worst to me was Kriss Kross in XPW.

Seriously. Dude was the "*autistic screeching*" meme come to life, before that meme even existed. XPW commentary Mad Libs! Kloss: [Wrestler] is on the top of the [elevated surface]. And there's still the [dangerous weapon] and a [flat surface] covered in [sharp metal things] [whatever "in the way" is]. And... Is that? Yes! It's [Sabu, Shane Douglas, Supreme, "Real Deal" Damien Steele, The Messiah, Kid Kaos, a stand-in for Rob Black and/or a porn star coked out of her mind] and [he/she] got a [steel chair, microphone, barbed wire, kendo stick, a barbed wire bat, a beer, a bag of salt and/or a table covered in a flammable liquid]! Is [he/she]... Oh no! Oh no! [Random scream as an absurdly violent, yet somehow underwhelming, scene plays out.] Kloss: ...And what do you think of that, Larry Rivera? Rivera: That's some real violent crap.
