Tenay seems like one of those announcers that people either love or hate, with virtually no in between.  He may not be great at story telling so much as Jim Ross or a few others, but I respect his style, and vast knowledge of virtually every wrestler he's called a match for.  Sometimes even giving obscure facts about matches said wrestlers had in front of like, 20 people in some bingo halls.

Am I mistaken, or did Marshall have a brief run in WCW at some point in the mid to late '90s?  I think on the C-List shows, like WCW WorldWide?  I have him as an unlocked character in the WCW game for PlayStation, WCW/NWO Thunder, so I'm assuming he was with them, but it seemed rather brief.

McMahon was one of the absolute best old-school wrestling announcers back in his day, especially during the 70s and 80s. DeGeorge tried hard but was awful although he didn't exactly have the best support working in Abrams UWF either.

McMahon was a decent announcer.  Frequently overlooked in recent years, as he blew everyone away as a great heel during the whole McMahon/Austin feud.  Made a great in-ring character.

Personally I like Tenay although he does tend to go off on tangents sometimes but not as much as I liked McMahon back in the 70s and 80s.

I like McMahon and Tenay.  Not so much Marshall, Cole or DeGeorge.
