Pick a new announce team for Impact, but try to be somewhat realistic as to guys who could be hired. For example, I would love to have Gorilla Monsoon or Gordon Solie call Impact, but that's impossible.

Joey Styles on play by play with Kevin Nash in his Chet Lemon persona on color. I could get into that. Styles currently works in the digital library department for WWE so for the right cash I'm sure he could be hired. Nash isn't doing shit, and is probably bored out of his mind these days. I guess in his case it depends upon his Legends contract and what kind of wiggle room he would have if he were hired in a non-wrestling role.

Find at least one young guy that is passionate and can talk and slowly introduce him into the product and hopefully he can replace one or the other. Taz isn't that bad to me, Tenay on the other hand, is very outdated and lacks any enthusiasm for the product.

If WWE won't use Jim Ross the right way. He should go to Impact and improve that broadcast.

Wait a minute. You say be somewhat realistic and then your first suggestion is someone who is under WWE contract and has been for years?

I like Taz, but Tenay's voice just reminds me of watching Nitro instantly, I keep expecting Schiavone to jump in at any second. Jim Ross would be the obvious choice but I doubt that would ever happen. Styles and Taz would be good on Impact.

I was getting sick of Don West before Tazz came along, afterwards I decided I miss Don West a lot. Mike Tenay has always pissed me off, so I would get rid of him without a second thought. In a perfect world Don West and cynical Jim Ross would call the show with InfoWars' Alex Jones who would go crazy at random times.

I would search for a brand new announcer, maybe with radio experience or a degree in sports broadcasting, train him on OVW or TNA Xplosion then bring him uptown Impact. He should have an over-the-top voice, because that's something that TNA misses. Someone who would really put over moves and segments as a big deal.

You know, Bully Ray doing a CM Punk and being a commentator would be great.
Having in mind his age, I hope when he retires as an in-ring competitor that he doesn't retire his character. Him color commentating does sound good.

Borash is good, I agree.

An uncensored and heel Jerry Lawler on commentary?

I don't like Tazz and I think that Tenay reminds people of Nitro so in order for TNA not to look like "WCW wannabe promotion" I think they should get rid of both of these guys. Jeremy Borash was pretty awesome as a commentator, give him a chance and add some other dude.
