Guest Nevermortal Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Raven is apparently politicking to get Mike Tenay fired as the lead announcer for NWA:TNA. No word on what causes the heat, but Mike Sanders also reportedly has heat with Tenay. During recent interviews, Raven has not shown any real contempt for Tenay, but Sanders does when he joins commentary during some PPVs. credit: Wrestling Observer Newsletter Ok, I must say, if Russo or the Jarretts listen to Raven or Sanders and actually do replace Mike, they are fucktards to the max! Tenay is one hell of an announcer, possibly the best play by play man in the industry today, and he and Don West make a great team at the booth.
Guest BoboBrazil Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 He better watch out. They did bring Scott Hudson into the company pretty randomly
Guest The Son of Sting Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Raven and Sanders should be told to worry about wrestling not who the announcer's are.
Mecha Mummy Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Ahem... B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T. Yeah right, like THAT is going to happen.
Guest Vyce Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Finally, a solo Don West announce booth. It's what we've ALL been waiting for!
Guest Slapnuts00 Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 I don't see them dumping Tenay, but as mentioned, Scott Hudson is now in the company and ready to take over if needed. Raven should worry about himself, and Sanders should be lucky he even has a job since he's a no talent overhyped hack with a boring move set and an inflated ego despite not doing SHIT in this business and only has his job because of who his friends are. Sorry, just needed to let off some steam, Mike Sanders has really gotten on my nerves...
Mecha Mummy Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 This is true. Fuck Sanders, and Raven-sama needs to focus on things that really matter.
Guest Raven_Effect01 Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 It baffles me why Raven even has a problem with Tenay. Raven should be more concerned about wrestling than the announcers.
Astro101 Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 I hope it isn't true, cuz one, Mike is the best in the business, two, it's too petty. He's an announcer! He doesn't cover Raven or Sanders for the one two three.
Guest The Son of Sting Posted June 18, 2003 Report Posted June 18, 2003 Raven should worry about himself, and Sanders should be lucky he even has a job since he's a no talent overhyped hack with a boring move set and an inflated ego despite not doing SHIT in this business and only has his job because of who his friends are. Sorry, just needed to let off some steam, Mike Sanders has really gotten on my nerves... I was about the write the same thing about Sanders word for word. Its clear why Sanders got let go from the WWE if he has this kind of attitude.
Guest The Decadent Slacker Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 as long as the product is good, i can live without Tenay. he's definitely the best in the country today on a major scale, & it would be fucking dumb to lose him, but as long as it's a good show i'll live. Hudson isn't terrible, West is deplorable, & Goldy rules all, but keep Tenay. or sign Joey Styles; he's the only guy who could come close to replacing Tenay
Guest NoSelfWorth Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 I'm wary of believing this entirely. Sanders I can believe doing this, but not Raven. This doesn't sound like Raven at all. He knows how good Tenay is, and I find it hard to believe he would want Tenay out.
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Maybe Raven and Sanders want the announcing gig?
Guest NoSelfWorth Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Maybe Raven and Sanders want the announcing gig? I know Sanders does. That much is obvious. Raven, I doubt. He's made it clear he just wants to concentrate on his wrestling.
Guest The Decadent Slacker Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Sanders would fucking suck in Tenay's role. Now as a third guy i wouldn't, or even a replacement for West (who i've actually gotten to like, until he says something retarded...so i like him for an hour a show total). But sanders on play by play? It just wouldn't work in a serious & realistic situation. So yeah, keep the Iron One, Mike Tenay
King Cucaracha Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 I doubt Tenay would go. He's their leading colour man. Well, you know this could lead to Mark Madden coming in. Which would mean his big buddy Nash coming in. Which would mean TNA armaggedon... Or, they could bring in Joel Gertner...we can only hope...well, I can.
Mecha Mummy Posted June 20, 2003 Report Posted June 20, 2003 Maybe Raven and Sanders want the announcing gig? Raven has said that once he's done wrestling, he's out of the business. He'd probably get into acting or writing comics.
cmclennan Posted June 21, 2003 Report Posted June 21, 2003 I just wish they'd bring aboard Joey Styles. I miss that guy... He was great. And I'd DEFINITELY read anything Raven wrote.
Guest JacK Posted June 29, 2003 Report Posted June 29, 2003 Leave Sanders alone! He may be a tool but he's still cool on the TV show! He's funny! C'mon! ~HEY!~ But Tenay is a pretty good announcer, and they shouldn't get rid of him, although maybe he did something we don't know about; because it seems a bit odd for people to pop up and go 'fire the announcer!'
Guest Markingout Posted June 30, 2003 Report Posted June 30, 2003 Joey is with MLW and I am sure Court is paying him good money. Meh to West,but Tenay is good.
