Favourite / least favourite Justin Roberts call

[champchumpchange]

The Dapper Yapper has plenty of original ways of announcing wrestlers to the ring, some better than others IMO. 

Reason I made the thread is I'm watching Grand Slam and I've noticed again that I really don't like his way of bringing PAC to the ring. The exaggerated pause and emphasis on BASTARD! is not my cup of tea I suppose.

Counter balance, I love how he introduces JYIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIAN MOX-LEY to the ring.


What are some of your favourites / least favourites?

Funnily enough, these two are the exact opposite for me. I love his delivery of The bbbbbbbASTARD and hate the John Cena/Moxley ripoff.

[Derk!]

I dig the Ol Dapper Yapper.

The ONLY call I don't care for is rolling of the r's in RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRey Fenix.

[ASYLUMHAUSEN]

Nothing will top the over the topness of The Cleaner’s intro…

But I also love the subtlety of “honoring the House of Black.”

🤷🏼‍♂️

When Omega beat Moxley for the title, I swear it took at least 60 seconds for Roberts to finish announcing Omega as the winner. Dude over does it way too much, but he’s gotten better lately.

[Andy Martin]

The “shit’s about to hit the fan” announcement before Anarchy At The Arena was dumb.

[Bang Bang Bart]

I chuckle at his non-enthusiastic "here's your winner" calls whenever a heel wins a match.

Eh, I chuckled.

It's not often the ring announcer gets to work blue.

[Germansuplex]

Love the big fight feel Justin can bring to a match. And I love his Moxley intro more than I love Mox himself.

One of my favorites is Anarchy in the Arena

"Ladies and Gentleman... shits about to hit the fan!"

[Citizen Snips]

If I were running a wrestling promotion and needed an announcer, I would hire Lilian Garcia over this doofus. I just find him awful in all regards.

[canceled4truth]

I love the sheer contempt he puts into “He is a BASTARD…PAC!”

Also his confusion when announcing (then-masked) MJF as winner of the Casino Ladder match was great

[Clutchhausen]

The Omega facts bit is just stupid.

[4real]

ELTON Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihn

[EP 54 is banned from Collision]

An underrated occasion was his calls for the Brandon Cutler vs Peter Avalon blow-off match on Dark. "For the love of god, this match is set for one fall!"

[Nr1Humanoid]

I roll my R's better. Then again, I have two in my name.

[Deleted]

He has a good voice, but I've just never been a fan for some reason. I love the ROH ring announcer, though.

Why is jungle boy hailed as being from value village?

[Denny Zen is Cooking™]

Haven’t heard it in a while since AEW seems to have forgotten she exists, but I love the “now crawling to the ring” for Abadon.
