- But seriously, Vince McMahon was a terrible announcer
|
He sounds way too forced all the time. He don't sounds like Vince 98% of the time and it's horrible. When Punk imitated him he actually got it wrong because he used Vince's natural, raspy voice to say "WHAT A MANEUVER"
The fastest way to hate more people is to go to a pro-abortion zone.

Vince didn't always have that raspy voice, you know...
And I still have a lot of nostalgia for Vince's announcing.He was always excited and into it, much like Mauro today.

Vince brought energy and excitement to WWF announcing. He was damn good. He made every match sound like a big deal

WHAT A MANEUVER!
I enjoyed his commentary. He always had a lot of enthusiasm for the product.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. (Psalm 118:1)

ONE, TWO, HE GOT HIM-NO!
Every f***ing time. Seriously, if you say it Vince, we know it's not a 3.
It's "Hahaha". Not "Bahaha" or "Bwahaha". You're not a pirate or a moustache twirling villain. You're a human. Laugh like one.

hammy was a good way to describe his commentary. he suited that new gen era for that reason, because the show was so hammy and dorky but thats part of its charm
he was good, not very good and definitely not great |
|
Vince McMahon and Eric Bischoff were both bad at commentary. But Vince was worse.

There was one of the video games where Vince was on commentary, but I forget which one. Shane was also on commentary in one of them and I just remember him being abysmal at it.

I will say that Vince's over the top hamminess is one of the bright spots of WWF In Your House by Acclaim.

He could never just call a wrestler by the name they used. It always had a little title
"The Man they call Vader" "Made in the USA Lex Luger" I'm sure there were more, but these two annoyed me. Also, as other people mentioned, him selling every pinfall as a victory was horrible.

Only upside about Vince being commentary is that he's too busy calling to match to be yelling in everyone else's ear.

He was best when paired with Jesse Ventura IMO. They brought out the best in each other.

Not a fair judgement considering the games have gotten zero right with the announcing. All games. Ross and King couldn't even do a good job at it. |

Speaking of which, was Vince McMahon the first commentator to get his voice digitized in a video game? They used audio clips of him in WrestleMania: The Arcade Game (1995) and I can't think of an earlier example than that.

I really liked it. It felt "real" when he was on commentary.
It was great when he had King and JR beside him. JR to be the smart one who actually knew the names of moves and backgrounds and stuff, King to be the inflammatory one.

BAAAACK BODY DROP I viewed this thread looking for a mention about this, and was disappointed that only one person said it. Vince loved that move. I also think there were times his questioning of the three count went further than mentioned in this thread. There were times where he'd declare wrestlers the new champion before they even made the pin attempt. I don't know how often he did that, but if I had to, I'm sure I could at least find one match he did that (I'm sure I could find more than that, but I don't want to over sell it.)

VInce: UP ANNNNND DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
His iconic over-the-top style (which I honestly do dislike) is a lot different than when he first started in the '70s. I used to like Vince's commentary as a kid, but re-watching that stuff on the Network has drastically changed my opinion. |

Anyone that s*** talks Vince's commentary is a cuck.

Yeah true but what I was more referring to is how Shane in particular just kinda sounded like he wanted to kill himself, which given the job lol probably made sense. He did sound energetic in some cases but otherwise it was really flat and lifeless. Then again from what I've experienced that describes like 99% of video game commentary so...

He was great for his hammyness but he had no wrestling knowledge. See, I totally disagree with the lack of wrestling knowledge. I see people saying this about Vince on here from time to time and I think it's just not true. Vince has lived his whole life in wrestling, to think he doesn't have any wrestling knowledge is stupid. Vince is weird and neurotic though. I 100% believe that Vince used to purposefully not use wrestling terms when commentating because he thought he would be alienating casual fans if he did. There's proof in this with Vince's rules for words commentators are not allowed to use, almost all of which are technical wrestling terms. Vince knows wrestling. He's just a total f***ing weirdo with how he thinks it should be presented.
Sign here.

If Vince isn't a good commentator then nobody is.

Why did Vince feel the need to announce in the first place? It's one thing if you don't have anyone else to fill your shoes, but Vince continued being an announcer for over 13 years despite having plenty of talent that could have easily filled the role. I am listening to Wrestlemania 13 commentary, and it's Vince as the third commentator with JR and King. Why?
Same question about Eric Bischoff. --- Sig |
