Lilian & Eden just don't cut it as ring announcers, they just don't have the oomph Justin Roberts had. What are your thoughts? Do you miss him, do you care? Who will lead @ WrestleMania - Tony Chimel would be the best vote imo.

I did not like Chimel, sounded so boring, was happy they replaced him on Raw with Lillian in 1999, but then Chimel bored on Smackdown.

I prefer Roberts over Chimel.

Fink was the best, the way he says stuff.

Bring back Buffer for PPVs for big fight feels.
That gave me so much happy nostalgia. Unbelievable that the company died about 2 to 3 years later when you see how amazing and pumped that crowd was for ddp vs Goldberg main event.


Also I will miss justin Roberts for ppvs. I've gotten use to Lillian but I'm not huge on Eden yet. There's not umph with them.

Eden is the only ring announcer that I honestly cannot stand. Her voice grates my ears. Gorgeous lady but announcing just isn't her thing. She doesn't have the voice for it.

Lilian is a doll and I always loved her but I agree she doesn't have that big hype feel. I always felt like she was sufficient for the job though.

Roberts definitely had that "oomph" factor to his style. He sounds like he could succeed in opera music, lol. Sometimes he would be too much for me but overall I think he's great at announcing and selling the performers.

Always loved Tony Chimel and associate him with being the ring announcer face of SD during the RA era. I liked his style, just something about him.

Howard Finkel... THE FINK! GOAT. God-tier. Can we just bring him to the Fountain of Youth so that we can have him for another 50 years please???

Roberts (more than Chimel) & Chimel (Not really, but more times than Lillian and Eden ever could) have the power to give goosebumps before a big match. Lillian or Eden don't have that power, they make the audience fall asleep. Fink would be great, but I doubt he'd come back at his age

I hated his exaggeration on names, I mean was that really necessary? The Fink is the GOAT, The way he did if was perfect. Chimel was good as well, he did slight exaggeration on some names such as Edge (the rated R suuuuuuuuuuuuperstar) but he was much better than Roberts.

I mean was there any need to say John Cena's name for his whole entrance?

Roberts had an annoying voice. And face.

Chimel was good.

Fink was amazing, though whenever I hear " Chris BenWAAAAA" now I wince a bit.

Lillian has a nice voice and she's fit, but she makes an awful lot of mistakes.

My overall opinion is that I don't really care, I only really notice an announcer if you have a really, really good one like Finkel.

C'mon guys, whole wwe is crap right now but the announcers are not problem at all

Finkel is GOAT and there will never be next Howard Finkel

Justin Roberts was fine, good guy, he lived his dream and he left but I think that he will be back at some point

Tony Chimel is also good, he was the original SD announcer from 1999 until 2007 and I liked when he did 'RATED R SUPERSTAAAAAAR EDGEEE'' that shit was awesome :D

Lilian Garcia is good announcer and she is such a nice and humble human being....tbh not bad looking either

Eden is meh, young and good looking, still not good as announcer but I'll give her some more time

Problem is future announcer, that JoJo bitch, she's not announcing, she's fcking screaming like pikachu

Besides, who else can be announcer except these 4 people, Mike Adamle comes back as announcer maybe? Scott Stanford? Snooki? Maria Menounos? Great Khali? OMG just imagine The Great Khali announcing, hilarious

Didn't think i'd ever ask this but are there many good announcers in the independents?

Get Michael Buffer. Or at least have him there just for Sting. It'd be crazy to see Michael Buffer announce Sting in 2015 at Wrestlemania.

WWE needs a decent male ring announcer who does not screw up the names of titles at ppvs like the screwups we heard at FastLane. For the Divas Championship the announcer called the title as the "Women's Championship" or announced Nikki Bella as the Women's Champion. For the tag-teams, the announcer actually stated "still new tag-team champions". How the F can something be still and new at the same time?

I don't miss Justin Roberts at all. Yeah mistakes like that ^^^ happen but can be learned from ... we didn't learn how good it was not to have Jaaaaannnn Ceeeeeeeennnnnnnaaaaaaaa .... until Justin Roberts got himself fired.

I hate Justin Roberts's announcing. He is the John Cena of announcers. But Lilian Garcia isn't better, at least not anymore.

There should be passion, but he was just cartoony. The words being spoken are ultimately more important than the way they are spoken for announcers.

I think JoJo is outstanding and I'd love to see her be the main ring announcer. She has almost a Lenne Hardt (PRIDE ring announcer) influence in her voice, where she ferociously screams the names that I think is the right energy needed for a wrestling show.

I adapted to Justin Roberts, but am totally okay with WWE moving on.
