Damaramu 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2003 So does anybody think things might get a little better if Vince was on commentary again? I mean I know he'd be thinking a lot quicker about this shit he allows on TV if he had to sit in the arena and justify it to the fans himself. "And now Kane is being beaten up by Shane McMahon! This little 200 pound guy is beating the 320 pound monster...ah crap this makes no sense!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2003 No. He'd only put himself and his heel character over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KTID 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2003 But at least we'd again have a commentator who, in the time honoured tradition of the business, can't count to three properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jester 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2003 I'd like to see McMahon commentating on Raw, if only to see how he shills the stupid shit he puts on the air week after week. It might give us a clue to his mindset. For example, during the Katie Vick Fiasco we'd see his lead and determine how he thinks we're supposed to react--horrified, disgusted, laugh our asses off, etc. Besides, anything is better than Lawler/JR. A sheep bleating for two hours straight would have just as much insightful commentary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Kid 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 I actually liked Vince's commentary, but now he'd just put himself and his own favorite angles over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tawren 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 Unlike most people, I actually liked Vince on commentary. But, I can't see him going back to commentary again, because he just...can't. He if fully ingrained as a heel and wouldn't be able to do play by play anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The same here. Vince's vocals have suffered since he came out from under the headset though. Like his daughter, I don't think he's been properly trained on using the diaphram and not the throat to yell, causing damage to the voice. He just to me doesn't seem to have the voice he had in the 80s-90s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 He was never a great commentater, but he could call a match decently. His voice has noticabely changed. He should get a vocal coach so he doesn't seriously damage his vocal chords due to all the yelling/screaming he does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 Well I think if he just started on commentary people would be expecting the heel Mr. McMahon. But if he just kept acting normal and didn't involve himself in angles just like when he was a commentator people would eventually accept it. Hell people buy Tazz as a commentator and not a wrestler now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 he is too far into his heel character to do anything in commentary....he would have to excuse himself in every other match just to do a run in or a self absorbing promo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlwaysPissedOff 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 "And now Kane is being beaten up by Shane McMahon! This little 200 pound guy is beating the 320 pound monster...ah crap this makes no sense!" Well... considering that you'd basically have to do that in pretty much any Kane feud(sell the crowd that the little guy can win, obviously) outside of Taker, Big Show, A-Train and all the others... Ahhhh, nevermind, I don't feel like making my head explode trying to rationalize this stuff... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 he is too far into his heel character to do anything in commentary....he would have to excuse himself in every other match just to do a run in or a self absorbing promo That is the case with all the announcers on Raw. JR is so into the Oklahoma Austin shrill, King is a perv, Coach is Carlton Banks that the match in the ring does not matter at all and is often forgotten. Is it me or does Terri look alot like Christina Aguilia all of a sudden? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2003 If you say like Terri looking like Aguilera because they're both skanky looking, then I agree with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Goodear Report post Posted September 9, 2003 I could actually see putting McMahon in the color commentator role now and just letting him work in his catch phrases. Just toss Vince in the booth with JR (I'm about half convinced that Lawler is about 3/4s of the problem with the announce team) and let the sparks fly a little bit.
