I am thoroughly disappointed in this firing. Real men get fired because they choke out Jungle Boy.

I swear when I watched him on commentary it reminded me of watching Shotgun Saturday Night/Metal from the 99-00 days

Naito is my second fav wrestler ever and even though I don’t watch NJPW with English commentary that much when I did Kelly put so much stink on him with his Destino call I would almost reconsider, my lord

I don't quite hate him as much as most here (though I don't particularly like him either), but even worse is whenever it got countered, and he'd scream "DES-TEE-(pregnant pause)-NOOOOOOOO!" with the emphasis on "No", like he thought he was being clever.

This is reminding me how Kevin Kelly was great with Steve Corino, but prior to Corino when he was with that Joe Downbotottorow or whomever they'd stick him with he had so many annoying calls. "SOAAAAAARING AND SCOOOORING!"
During the Corino era his only real signature one was Jay Lethal's "Lethal In-jection" and Kyle O'Reilly's "Axe and Smash," but perhaps it's because those would always be at such different speeds that one way didn't stick around enough to crank the decibles with each goround.
I remember in the very early days of wrestling podcasts he had a show on Place to Be Nation where he talked about his memories by-year in WWF and then would do bi-weekly deep dives into ROH that were quite good. I think that gave him an intimacy among the growing wrestling podcast listenership. And then the chemisty with Corino just clicked.
I don't recall his work with Callis enough to definitively say that I agree Callis carried him, but I do know once he stopped(as Meltzer called him in late 2015) sounding like "a nice man who likes wrestling," his work never did as much for me since.

Hope Ian gets to do some shows here and there. Kevin did not fit and never did. I guess the only memory I will have of him was calling the APA vs. Public Enemy match and that's only because it's infamous. My lasting memory of him will be when the Young Bucks superkicked him at an ROH show and Corino (as Mr. Wrestling III) celebrated lol

And then you'd have matches where Naito would attempt the move 3 or 4 times and you'd have to hear that shit EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Here's hoping Collision tomorrow night kicks off the same way the one post-Brawl In did, with Tony in a dark room solemnly explaining why he fired Kevin Kelly lol

It’s nice to know there are some actual consequences for people being terrible. More of this, universe.

Was joking to a friend last night they should change Collision's opening theme to "Circle of Life" by Elton John for one week only.

"Today I had to make one of the toughest decisions of my professional career. Today I terminated Kevin Foote, Kevin Kelly, for cause," etc.
Looking up if he had an actual real name separate from "Kevin Kelly" just now is how I learned it is just a professional name. And Tony is actually Schiavone's middle name. His real first name is Noah.

You could almost say Kevin Kelly really put his Foote in his mouth.
