strummer 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 WWE broadcaster Tazz will miss tonight's Smackdown taping due to the death of his father, who passed away over the weekend. Tazz will still be at WrestleMania and will call the Smackdown brand matches at the show. We have not heard what WWE's plans are for a color announcer at tonight's taping. We here at PWInsider send our condolences to Tazz and his family during this trying time. From PWI RIP Mr. Senerca Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Deadbolt Report post Posted March 29, 2005 I would think that Steve Romero will fill in for Tazz (Steve is the new color guy on Velocity...well, I think he's the Color guy because Josh Matthews seems to be doing the Play By Play) or Josh Matthews, or perhaps even both. I would like to see a 3 man commentator team on SmackDown! It would differentiate the brands from Raw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2005 Steve Romero and Michael Cole on the same announce team. I shudder at the thought. I'm hoping it's Matthews. He and Cole have worked together on Velocity and did a fine job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 I haven't watched Velocity since Confidential got cancelled because I don't know when it's on. Doesn't Romero suck or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slimm44 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Anyone know who will be taking Tazz's place tonight? Carlito...haha. No I have no idea but it will probably be one of the Velocity guys or JR...or maybe (cross fingers) Paul Heyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shadow Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Carlito would be great. I'll assume that Mathews does those duties tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Why? Did he try to study Gorilla Monsoon tapes, get bored in the first thirty seconds, and say "well that should be enough"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Golgo 13 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 I was watching Velocity a couple of weeks ago and he botched a few rather simple move calls, which pretty much made me think of Schiavone with all the personality of Todd Grisham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Don't forget, Schiavone was good once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 I always thought Michael Hayes was an underrated announcer when WWE used him for a short bit on RAW. Maybe he could fill in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbondrage99 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 I still say it should be Al Snow. Well since Smackdown is finished now does anyone know yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shadow Report post Posted March 30, 2005 I'm pretty sure it's a west coast show tonight or at least in Texas like raw was...so it's a little later then usual Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
