answer this:

Answer 6

lol. Mike Tenay.  He was the "cruiserweight expert" on WCW for years, though I swear I think he would make some moves up as he saw them.  Don West got his start on Shop at Home Network.  I remember that guy being on LATE at night, and he'd always be YELLING, while he was trying to hock some weird c**p, like "AUTHENTIC JAPANESE SAMURAI SWORDS!-  YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MAY NEED ONE OF THESE BAD-BOYS!! GET YOURS NOW, CUZ WE ARE RUNNING OUT FAST!!!!!!!"  He's been parodied on SNL numerous times, because he was just so over the top.  I'd recommend to just turn your volume down when forced to listen to these two.  It's your only option

Answer 7

SAME HERE!!

god they are so bad at it

Answer 8

Every time I watch TNA I turn down the volume.

Answer 9

They are really annoying

Answer 10

Mike Tenay and Don West are both better now than years ago...

And even now, the commentary team doesn't make the show any better or worse. I do agree they're both not the greatest, but have you heard other commentators in the indies? Have you heard Mike Adamle butcher everyone's name in ECW? Did you hear JBL as a commentator, acting like "Foghorn Leghorn" for cheap heat?

Commentators are not hard to tune out.

Answer 11

I agree.

One of the reasons I can't stay tuned in to TNA is because of Don West's commentary. TNA is a good wrestling show, but both Tenay and West are appauling at the table. They give away almost EVERYTHING, and sound ridiculous shouting at the top of their lungs.

Answer 12

me !!

they should get jim ross

Answer 13

did you see the time that they wore reading for skrips

Answer 14

It's all in the ears of the beholder, and to each his own, I guess.

For the most part, West and Tenay are very entertaining, especially West.  I love his enthusiasm.  He is either the biggest con man in the wrestling business or the biggest fan.  This man is IN to his job!  By the end of Impact (and PPVs) he's physically drained and his voice is getting hoarse.

Nobody can touch the team of JR and Lawler, but West and Tenay are better than any other team in the WWE, especially that corporate shill Michael Cole and the Yosemite Sam wannabe JBL (thank you Vince for taking him away from the announce table!).

Cole and Lawler are just wrong.  Cole has absolutely no idea how to play "straight man" for Lawler.  I had high hopes for JR and Foley, but oh well, Tazz is a very suitable replacement for Foley.  Striker is good, but Grisham needs to go back to "I just wanna get your thoughts" backstage.

So, the only team anywhere close to the sublime excellence that is West and Tenay is JR and Tazz.

Answer 15

I like mike but I know one thing 4 sure is that ecw commentating sucks big time.

Answer 16

Mike Tenay is very knowledgable and provides a lot of background on what wrestlers have done in other wrestling promotions. Don West gets excited about everything. TNA should probably replace him with Raven on someone else.

Answer 17

and they ask y we don't watch tna
