I completely agree with Joey. Leave the "storytelling" to the wrestlers and just have the play by play/commentator call the match move for move. I should be able to listen to the play by play of a match whether it be JR, Styles, Cole or whoever as if it was on radio and picture in my head exactly what is going on. Even in the "attitude era" JR seemed to mention a lot of the moves during a match. Cole never does that now cause they made him stupid.
2012: King's still on commentary (albeit, less enthused than here), "sports-entertainment" is still the codeword, Jim Ross was humiliated...and fired...AGAIN, the holds and moves are still being ignored in lieu of storytelling, and bathroom humor and God-mocking have been traded in for Hornswoggle and a boy-scout rendition of John Cena. The fans continue to pump money into the product and buy into the crap. They just sit in silence and let it happen.
Sad that Joey has fallen so far now. Has a meaningless job for the WWE, spends his days spouting off and twittering disproven ideas, and carrying a torch for the tea bagger crowd.
If TNA management had half a brain they would fire Mike Tenay and make Joey Styles an offer he could not refuse. He could be the guy that helps TNA turn the tide against the WWE machine.
@PureAgainBOF3 It was scripted. The real reason he "quit" was because he was set to call ECW on SciFi with Tazz, which was set to air in a couple of months, so they cut him from RAW, and he was replaced by the returning Jim Ross.
i honestly think ecw was never really that good. ive seen the old days of ecw and it never surprised me at all. the rebirth of ecw was great through 2005-2006. wwe did better with it then paul did. joey sucked being alone as a comentator, tazz is a great wrestler and commentator that actually had talent in ecw along with tommy and sabu
@yoyo2121d25 yeah man, that guy in the white shirt was incredibly annoying. would have loved to have seen jerry slap him across the face. but for obvious reasons we can't see that. :-P
@cAiRyC31 yeah not to be "racey"or anything but most black people are really fucking annoying. Not just the 'wannabe gangster, thugs" but also the"oreo" ones. that's all I'm gunna say. I'm not a racist btw just brutally honest
back when this first aired I thought Joey was just talking out is ass, but in 2011 I see what he was talking about. The WWE fucked Styles and just shit on his reputation.
I actually feel kind of bad for Joey because he was forced to go along with an incredibly stupid comedy skit featuring those talentless assholes in the spirit squad before being publicly humiliated by Jerry Lawler.
@talian2mprez omg why does everyone say that I mean this promo happened way before punks promo and how bout u you like cm punk since when he did an epic promo I liked him ever since he became heel way back in 2009 and when he did the gts to that bitch of an entertainer John cena
I agree with everything Joey said even though it was a worked shoot. Why do they call the wrestlers "superstars"? Why the hell did they have the spirit squad in 2006? I never ordered a pay per view from the WWE and the only time i ever attended a WWE event was at Money In The Bank to see CM Punk win.
The people who actually by into this crap don't DESERVE wrestling. Joey Styles if you are reading this I say thank you. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you.
Well what he said is true. Half the time a match is going on, and the fucking commentators are talking about completely other things, such as what matches are still to come and storylines.
@maple856 he still works for the comapny....in fact he does commentary in superstars sometimes. if you don't like a great commentator then go listen to michael cole masturbating over the miz.
I agree with what Joey said being a fan for close to 20 years! But I don't think he needed to insult the fans. Whether he was right about them (us) or not it wasn't necessary.
It's ironic in a way...the announcing last Sunday was utterly atrocious for such a great and monumental title match. Last Sunday marked the first time I can recall that the CROWD actually saved a title match from going straight down the crapper.
As for this shoot, Styles is the fucking man. Top 3 of all time announcerwise and I don't think that's a stretch in the least bit.
"If this was ECW, I wouldn't be working with a HACK like you." Absolutely right.
@Kadozier SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU HATER,......DID U SEE LEBRON IN THIS VIDEO? I DON'T THINK SO STOP PUTTING THE SAME COMMENTS JUST TO GET THE TOP COMMENTS #HOP OFF HIS NUTS
