So I'm assuming you prefer JR's "OMG IT'S A SLOBBERKNOCKER!!!" or King's "OMG A WOMEN WITH BREASTS!!!" Joey Styles is a great announcer and I'd take him in a second over the current and very stale WWE announce teams.

I'm a huge mark for Styles. He knows what he's talking about (beats Schiavone after 95), stays fairly unbiased (beats JR), and gets into the matches just enough without getting involved. (I'd take a shot at Tenay, but I'm in a good mood.)

Joey called every powerbomb type move a tiger bomb, a move that technically doesn't exist.

Joey Styles is rather overrated, really. Watching a match with him on commentary feels like playing WWF Attitude and hearing a random comment from the announcers every ten seconds. He was okay in ECW, but I listened to him doing commentary on a MLW match and it was terrible.

Beats Schiavone calling everything a sidewalk slam.

 

And that "Next" shit is pretty cocky.

To me, it seems like Joey saw one All Japan tape from 1995, and relied on it for all of his wrestling knowledge.

No way, because then he would have called every move a variation of the "Tiger Driver" imstead of "Tiger Bomb" ......or maybe not, considering it's all in JAPANESE!!!!!!!

He's a PBP I bet...hmmm seems to me I remember a thread not too long ago where someone kept challenging people to mention wrestlers he never heard of...

I always like Joey Styles but not like his early stuff when he was just a one man annoucer in like the early stages of ECW. But I started liking him more a lot better when he wouldn't over do the "oh my God!" stuff. Also I liked him for the fact that he could keep up with a lot of the fast matches they had there. As for the WWE, I don't think Joey could fit in there because he really isn't that great, he's decent but great, with slow type of matches, which is what WWE matches really are now.

Quick question that will show how little I do post: What's a PBP?

I generally liked Styles but then the "Ohhhh My Goddd" stuff became cliched and he overdid it.

 

I hated Callis in the booth with him though. All Callis did was add "Tremendous,Joey Styles!"" to the announcing and say shit to irritate Styles. Every time Callis would begin a ppv by removing Gertner, I would cringe because I knew the announcing went right down the fucking toilet for that show.

Classic.

 

Styles was a pretty solid announcer...the 'Oh My God' got cliched, but that was to be expected I guess once the fans caught on. He was humourous and could carry a whole event commentating on his own, which is probably pretty damn hard. Oh, and he'd call the action. Shock horror.
