3-man announce team for ECW, Styles on play-by-play, Tazz as heel colour and Foley as face colour.

As much as I didn't like him, Lesnar.
He's one of the few former Superstars who have something left to give.

I think Matt Striker's terrific on the mic.

Josh Matthews needs to be brought back into commentary as he was real good listen too. And for someone of his age, with the voice he had, he knew what he was talking about too.

I liked Ventura as an announcer, but I think he was too good at arguing to be a heel announcer. There were sometimes he made such good cases for the hell that I started to think the face was a jackass.

1) The Rock once he is older if he still cares about the wrestling business.
2) New Jack. I could listen to him speak all day. No joke. Entertaining as hell and he levels with you. If ECW ever went "extreme" again, he would be my go-to guy.
3) Kevin Nash or Chris Jericho. I put both of these on the same line because they both have similar styles: conversational and informal, and they usually can phrase things in really funny ways, and plus they are both intelligent men.
4) SHEIKY, BABY.

Some interesting thoughts here. Taz(z) is also probably a given, but he seems to be at his best as a babyface. Him and Cole having multiple orgasms every week on the blue show during the Smackdown 6 days every time Mysterio took a chance in the ring was a little embarrassing sometimes, but it was a lot better than after Taz(z) "turned," and the duder would just flat-out forget he was supposed to be working heel every 5 seconds. I liked Ventura as an announcer, but I think he was too good at arguing to be a heel announcer. There were sometimes he made such good cases for the hell that I started to think the face was a jackass. That's what made him a GREAT heel announcer, broseph.

Naw way man, you need your heels to not think they're irrational, and you need your heel announcer to make what the heel does seem irrational, while defending it as rational. Otherwise the wrestler isn't really a heel.

Tommy Dreamer (Face) or Stevie Richards (Heel) for ECW Regal as Heel for Raw (With Cole as Play by Play as a guess) Josh and JBL or Jericho on SD!

Al Snow is OK (not great, but OK). Since the guy's been with the company for a while, he's probably in line to get called up from OVW at some point. If the announcers of OVW get called up then Dean Hill will be called up way before Al Snow. Also, JR and King are still in their mid-50s. Gordon Solie and Bobby Hennan were in their mid sixties when they retired. We have ten or more good years left with Ross and Lawler.

Well, he's a former wrestler... so Josh Matthews. I think he's solid enough on commentary to handle either ECW or SD. Honestly, I think after JR is gone, Cole is probably a shoe-in to take over his spot. As for King... Regal. Regal has a million one liners (much like King and Heenan), a great voice and I imagine would be a license to print money. I can picture Matthews & Regal, that would be GOLD!!

Someone mentioned Dusty Rhodes.....ARE THEY SERIOUS??!! I watched a Great American Bash ('96 I think) where he was in the commentary booth and it still cracks me up every time I watch it. His hilarious and often pointless use of the word 'situation'. His lisping delivery and his use of analogies and sayings that make no logical sense whatsoever: "They wanna come in here with a burr up they butt? Well let's pull it out and git after it!!" The man is demented! That being said, he'd make a welcome change from "BAH GAWD!!" and "PUPPIES!" (not to mention JBL's overused: "I smell like smoke cos I've been through fire" line.....

Hall and Nash on commentary would be a dream come true. Except that I worry that they'd bury the talent like Konnan has a tendency to do when he does commentary. Remember what a nightmare Konnan was on commentary? "Yo yo, I saw this guy serve me at McDonald's today! He can peel my potatoes and toss my salad!"
