So... Do the foreign language announcers have a face/heel dynamic? Or do they treat it more like a sport?

Back in like 96 or so I learned you could tune in the Spanish language feed, the picture was there, so I'd watch in Spanish. Didn't under a lick of it, the best part of waiting for the words they have to say in English.

The German announcers, mostly Tsanti/Thiele on Smackdown, go a bit in the heel/face direction, but never much further than one being a big fan of a few heel characters. No defending all of the heelish tactics of somebody.

Carlos Cabrera and Hugo Savinovich had the same dynamic Cole/Taz later would. Carlos did play-by-play and Hugo would use his wrestling/managerial experience to point out things and make excuses for heels. Marcelo Rodriguez was a shameless heel who toadied the The Authority. I haven't heard him with Jerry Soto, who replaced Carlos, so I'll pick a show to rewatch and see how they are.
Never found out who commentated the Telemundo edits of Nitro. Likely their in-house team for soccer and other sports because it was laid-back and jovial (since it'd be less of a priority). Had a couple episodes taped from their feed which were hilarious. They particularly loved roasting Ric/David Flair in a "Why do these guys even bother?" way.

Well, Jerry and Marcelo have a face/heel dynamic going on with Jerry being mostly a face while Marcelo is as over the top as stage actor can be (refusing to translate good guys, singing the Bloodline's praises, justifying heel attacks and such). Hugo Savinovich throwing barbs at them online, saying that the Spanish commentary in WWE "is not real wrestling" while running a wrestling news site, being involved with AAA in Mexico and lobbying to get a job in AEW with Carlos Cabrera can be a lot to handle.

I’ve often wondered what the Spanish broadcast was like after someone went through their announcers table.

Yeah, they went as far as pretending to be part of the nWo for a while IIRC. |
