While Jim Ross shot down the rumors of his involvement with TNA, Dave Meltzer noted on a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that the company has been in talks with announcers recently.
Wonder where this leaves Josh or Pope? An improvement anyway.
TNA has 2 guys under contract to replace Matthews (Borash and Tenay) and out there in the free agent pool you have Todd Kenely who I've always liked. A lot of those WWE guys who used to do the lesser shows are available as well and they're usually professionally trained broadcasters which could be a problem for TNA because they'd be competing with Radio and TV to get these guys.
Todd Keneley was good. I would gladly welcome him back. He'd be the only "voice from the past" I would accept coming back. TNA needs new blood, in all areas.
I do like the Pope announcing but I'd like to see him wrestle, I always said once TNA do a live show he will get involved in a match and that would be his way back into the ring and at BFG when his music hit I was buzzing but then he eliminated himself I was gutted haha! Mathews isn't that bad in my opinion but I'd like him to either play a heel or a face not both, pick one and stick to it. As to who I'd have if they were to both go, I'd go for Tod Kennley and one of Striker or Nash if he isn't to expensive.
The problem with Taz was he would ramble too much and bury his good stuff in a pile of bad. If he learned to pick and choose when to add to the product he would have been pretty good. As far as Striker, not sure if he would leave LU but he would be solid no doubt.
Todd Keneley does that Paragon Pro Wrestling show. But a good offer should get him back, since dropping Todd because of budget cuts was a stupid move by TNA. Better than a cast-off WWE announcer any day, all you need to do is look at Josh about that...
I find Striker pretty annoying sometime. I watched the GFW-produced Japanese show and wasn't impressed.
I don't think Mathews is that bad at communicating and Pope is getting better but Mathews just has an horrible voice for PBP and most of the time loses his voice by the end of the show. They could just use Mathews as a third man like Tenay was used in WCW and the former TNA guy Todd Kenely as the voice. I thought he was the best TNA ever had.
Yea Josh and Pope have to go now. They are reading my mind. I was thinking that Kim losing busted my bracket and Josh makes comment about that. Then later Josh talking about the carcass of Richards and I thought he is not a carcass and Pope said it. Damn you guys, get out of my head.
I think everyone hates Josh because he gets to bang Madison
