Can I nominate Micheal Buffer for worst?

 

"Making his way to the ring, Bret the Hitman CLARK" ugh. I mean Jesus Christ how hard is it to get a name right?

Yeah, if we get into WCW let's just say Gary Capetta was best, and Buffer was hands down worst.

I hated Buffer. Torture Rack of Doom my ass.

 

For WWF/E, best would be Fink...Lillian would be the worst.

I was always a huge fan of David Penzer from WCW, I really liked him a lot. It goes without saying that I like The Fink, the man's been around forever in WWE, almost literally. I do believe he's been there longer than anyone else that isn't a McMahon.

 

I must also take this time to say that Dan "The Dragon" Wilson from NWA Wildside is simply awesome. I love his annoucing, his commentating, and everything. He's great, and a great guy personally.

Penzer I always liked. He had a good announcing voice. And he would never announce Meng's hometown as "unknown part of the planet" unlike some announcers... coughBuffercough

He was also entertaining at live WCW shows I would go to, and is a great guy personally also.

Wait Wait Wait...

 

Who was the WCW announcer who spoke fast with the higher pitched voice, Penzer or Capetta?

Lilian is the worst. Remember the time Chris Benoit won a match?

"Here is your winner! Chris Jericho!"

The woman who used to announce for the WWF in the early '90's dressed as bad as she announced.

 

As for best, the ECW announcer, can't remember his name but i've seen him do some ROH recently.

I remember Buffer going on and on with announcing and the wrestler was just getting into the ring after walking really slowly while Buffer was just finishing up.

 

Buffer always added extra stupid things like "one of the most feared men in all of world championship wrestling today".

She made tons of mistakes, she would announce people as having different titles than they did, mess up their names, and even mis-time the "R-V-D" thing.

 

She seemed to be really into RVD, Jericho, and Trish, though.

I guess Lilian hangs around with JR too much.

 

Who can forget "from Pittsburgh, Philadelphia!" for Kurt.

 

Best: Fink or Capetta

 

Worst: Lilian/Buffer

 

I don't give a fuck how famous your catchphrase is, we don't need six minutes of you rambling on like a knob, screwing up your lines and sounding like an idiot to get to it.

 

Buffer also lead to one of the many reasons I used to like HHH, with the Buffer impression.

 

Although if he dared to say the full line, Buffer'd have sued 'em like a little bitch.

Another reason to hate Lilian, and Trish too:

 

Fink naked during the hilarious ring announcer fued, and shameless pimping of XXX.

She seemed to be really into RVD, Jericho, and Trish, though.

I've noticed that too and here are my unscientific reasons for that:

 

Jericho: Well I know at least some women find him attractive

 

RVD: I think she buys pot off of him, but I good be wrong

 

Trish: They travel together, and well umm(Gets Kleenex)

 

She has improved though espcally when WWF turned into WWE during the hardcore match about 10 people won the belt and she didn't mess up once(I think that might have been a prank to see if she would mess up)

 

And back to topic:

The Fink: The MAN

That guy before Chimel: Always liked him

Chimel: So-So

Lillian: :wub:

McQuirk: Sucked, but I did like it when Hillbilly Jim and her danced it was cute

Penzer: Better than OKish

Capetta: Second Best Annoucer

Buffer: Stick to boxing
