So I'm assuming you prefer JR's "OMG IT'S A SLOBBERKNOCKER!!!" or King's "OMG A WOMEN WITH BREASTS!!!"

TheBigSwigg 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 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.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 I liked Joey. He could make Nova vs EZ Money sound like a world title match. Although he way overshilled and just tried to hard most of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2004 To me, it seems like Joey saw one All Japan tape from 1995, and relied on it for all of his wrestling knowledge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted April 23, 2004 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!!!!!!!

Scroby 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2004 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.

Slingshot Suplex 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2004 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.

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.
