ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2004 OK...here's a thought that I had after watching the opening video package for WrestleMania X-Seven again: If you could get any former wrestler/manager to do the voice for the opening montages for the PPV events, like Blassie did before he passed on, who would you get? Personally, I'd go with Jesse "The Body" Ventura. He seemed very comfortable in the role from "The Mania of WrestleMania", and his voice just has that feel about it that makes an event feel special. I'd personally love for Ventura to do an opening package for WrestleMania 21 or something. Any other ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Papacita 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2004 Nah. Gene's voice makes me wanna laugh whenever I hear it. No clue why, but it does. I wouldn't mind Vince's voice being used if he was kept off TV a little more. Jesse probably would be best though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2004 Dusty Rhodes if you weeeeeeeeeeeeel. That would be hysterical. "Good golly Miss Molly tonight Chris Benoit will be gettin' funky like a monkey and CLUBBERIN', TONY, CLUBBERIN' Triple H in a Hell in a Cell match, if you weeeeeel!" To answer the question, I'm not sure. Maybe Ventura because he and WWE seem to be on good terms, but at the same time I dunno if he'd want to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kanyon. what a goofy answer... the true answer is the one who pointed out his speech problem, the person most fit to do a voice over in the WWE... Lita. Maybe they can incorporate that scream from tonight's RAW into the promos too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2004 Heyman would be decent for the right matches, if he weren't an on-screen talent. He used to do all the ECW ones. I'd agree with Vince, only if it was old-school, talks slightly too fast, Vinnie Mac. Them's where the days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
