FAME OR SHAME; PRO WRESTLING ANNOUNCERS AND HOSTS

Mr. DS · June 05, 2010, 08:44:54 PM

Another spin on the wrestling F/S games. This one revolves around announcers or hosts. Of course many of them are in fact know for in-ring antics. But this one revolves around announcing and hosting. For example, Adrian Adonis in the "Flower Shop". Here are the first five;

Jessie "The Body" Ventura (announcer) - 30
Tony Schiavone (announcer)- 30

I don't know Schiavone personally, but as a guy who used to watch their product, Schiavone was vastly overrated, made only tolerable due to the pairing of him with Mike Tenay and Bobby Heenan. He seemed really, really cocky, arrogant, and couldn't really call a match. Got the names of even basic maneuvers wrong (calling at one point a brainbuster as a 'Twisting suplex type maneuver'). Also, known for "This night is the greatest night in WCW history", which is mind boggling cause he opened ever Nitro, Thunder and Pay-per-view with that phrase.

And, while not Schiavone's fault, he's also known for the infamous call of "Tonight, on WWF Monday Night RAW, Mick Foley, who competed here as Cactus Jack, will win the WWF World Title. Heh, that'll put butts in seats, eewwww." Later came out that Bischoff was the one who told him to say it, but it seemed like some foreshadowing. Fans switched shows in the middle of Nitro to see it, Raw's ratings went up, WCW went out of business, and Schiavone was never heard from again, probably resting his ass in a seat somewhere wishing he never made that call.

I never liked Schiavone. His voice seemed a bit too squeaky to be a play by play guy. And yep, he has no clue what certain wrestling moves were.
