Guest Nevermortal Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted June 18, 2003 He better watch out. They did bring Scott Hudson into the company pretty randomly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Vyce Report post Posted June 18, 2003 Finally, a solo Don West announce booth. It's what we've ALL been waiting for! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Slapnuts00 Report post 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2003 This is true. Fuck Sanders, and Raven-sama needs to focus on things that really matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Raven_Effect01 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Astro101 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Decadent Slacker Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoSelfWorth Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted June 20, 2003 Maybe Raven and Sanders want the announcing gig? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoSelfWorth Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Decadent Slacker Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post 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.

cmclennan 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JacK Report post 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 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
