How come you left out Heenan?

Heenan was a full time wrestler?

 

[NoLeafClover]

Tazz.

 

[JEFF.JARRETT]

Heenan was a full time wrestler?

Yeah.

 

[Statistician]

When?

 

[MOBELS]

I like'd Raven when he was commentator for Heat

 

[HBK337]

JBL for sure.

 

[Mr. 305 Blaze]

In the Attitude/New Generation era it’s no doubt Jerry “The King” Lawler for pure entertainment perspective, it is amazing how much I despise the guy after 2005 of being so stale and boring in this Face gimmick now. I know WWE is very mediocre in today’s mainstream and I can understand the lack of passion from many guys now but seriously Lawler can atleast act like he still has some ounce of passion in what he is doing through commentary cause he is being carried and outperformed by Cole who himself is a very horrible commentator (but entertaining strictly as a character).

For the Aggression era and for today it’s King Booker/Booker from entertaining perspective, he is just a natural comedian even if he is not trying to be funny, Booker is just gold all around and he just brings the energy through his commentary and most importantly of all-he enjoys what he is doing and you can just tell he is very excited of finally doing what he always wanted once he hanged up his wrestling boots (even though that’s not exactly certain at this moment).

Now for my favorite wrestler turned announcer of all time, for overall quality from calling a match, putting guys over, discussing storylines, knows his history, the moves, and just get you to really listen on what he is saying is none other then JBL. If you want to see a true Heel commentator who puts both Heel AND FACE wrestlers over and actually pay attention to the match while still being so entertaining, it’s this man. The new character of Cole today can only dream of being this great through commentary.

 

[DanTheMan07]

Definitely Lawler during his heel run as an announcer. Straight comedy during every segment and match.

 

[Mr.King]

JBL

 

[Creepah]

Jerry Lawler when he was a heel. Now he's a watered down, shell of himself as a goddamn face. JBL, He's my favorite of all time. Wish he would be a heel commentator again. :no:

 

[TJTheGr81]

JBL. I would go Lawler, but his dreadful commentary of the last five years conflicts with his awesome commentary of the AE/Ruthless Agression. JBL was a heel commentator who actually put EVERYONE involved in the match over.

 

[It's True]

JBL/Savage for me

 

[Troll™]

 

[Carcass]

Seriously though Ventura, Punk, Lawler before he sucked and JBL were all awesome.

 

[Don Draper]

I went with the white Alberto Del Rio. He's a commentating GOD.

 

[Johnny Sweatpants]

Anyone who doesn't vote for Ventura is obviously unfamiliar with his work. JBL, while very good and highly entertaining, isn't fit to shine Jesse's shoes and that's a scientific fact. Jesse had a way of making every match feel important. Christ, he made "Dangerous" Danny Davis matches unfold like a Shakespearean tragedy. No one has come close to filling his (and Heenan's) void and that's the most frustrating thing about watching the current product. In many ways he's the exact opposite of Cole or Stryker.

As for the other options:

Gorilla Monsoon - a close second, a solid commentator and the perfect foil for Heenan
Randy Savage - terrible and awkward
Jerry Lawler - mediocre, I never forgave him for the "puppies" thing
Tazz - the worst commentator in the history of wrestling
John Bradshaw Leyfield - great
Mick Foley - decent
Matt Striker - more concerned with hearing himself talk than calling the match
CM Punk - too soon to tell
Booker T - too soon to tell

JBL was awesome.
