Silence 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2005 I think it's Justin Roberts. He's done ring announcing for WWE for maybe 2 years now, but a while back, it seemed like it was every once in a while when he'd show up. As for now, I'm not sure if Lillian's being replaced by him yet. Edit: Damn it Rudo, you beat me to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zyn081 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2005 Didnt he used to every now and then replace Tony Chimel? :S I think they are using them so it automatically clicks in ones mind that Lillian is off cavorting somewhere with Big Vis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slickster 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2005 Quite a career this guy has had, seeing as how he has done ring announcing since 1999 (when he was 20). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rrrsh Report post Posted June 30, 2005 He is very good, and since Lillian proved she can actually act, they might make keep her at her new role. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2005 I hate that guy. Maybe it's just my imagination, but I could swear I've heard him forget to anounce a wrestler's hometown or weight on more then one occasion. I mean, did the Fink die? Fuck every announcer who's not him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2005 Bah. Justin is doing a Fink impression rather than being a unique announcer. He's the Bruce Buffer of the WWE. I'd rather have someone like the PRIDE ring announcer ("Maaariioooo Sperrryyyyy-ooOOOOh") who plays around and is distinctive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2005 I prefer Chimel and the Fink. It varies though. I prefer Chimel's call of Austin or The Rock. I prefer Fink's call of the Hitman or Undertaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jm29195 Report post Posted June 30, 2005 But isn't Michael Buffer the king of all announcers- or at least the most famous? He was even the boss in that Ready 2 Rumble boxing game on the dreamcast- what was his bckground, did he start with WCW or was he brought in at a later date?

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2005 Buffer (Michael) only did WCW main events though, so he had 'big-match' protection. And got to make 3 minute intros. The rest of the time it was David "can somebody please turn my microphone up" Penzer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fartsauce 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2005 We shouldn't be so hard on the guy. Lillian fucked up quite a bit when she started. I'm sure Fink when he started in the early 80's fucked up a bit (mind you he had taped tv to edit any blunders) I'd say give this guy time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2005 You know what ring announcer I liked, yet don't know the name of? The guy who did the L.A. Portion of WrestleMania 2. For some reason, he had this good over the topness that worked for ring announcing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
