>everyone seething about collision commentary
>kevin kelly, who everyone keeps hyping as the goat commentator, shits the bed
so this pretty much confirms excalibur's the best in the business.

JR has been washed but the other guys were okay, if a little boring.

As sad as that sounds he is. The new WWE/Impact guys are always "ooohing" as a crutch. I will always support JR but he needs to be a third guy in the booth and not have to do the heavy lifting

Drop JR and Kelly for literally anyone under 50 years old. I love JR, but he's best used in small doses at this point. Kevin Kelly only ever got popular because he was in WWF at one point. Outside of that, he's just okay at best.

Nigel is only there because Tony wants him as a commentator in ROH, but needs to justify whatever he's paying him, so he's double dipping on Collision as well.

At the end of the day, this is more TEW booking logic where you shove whoever has "high stats" in a vacant spot. Tony has no clue what he's doing.

Kelly was awful. Excalibur is too, so I don't know what the answer is.

Bait thread. Bad faith argument.
They were great. Probably the best combo in AEW.

JR is so bad. Fans need to take the nostalgia go. JR sounds bored and bothered to be there.

There was a lot of dead air and there was a lot of awkwardness when they spoke with each other, maybe they just need time to get used to each other

Mike Tenay has money and just doesn't want to work in wrestling any more.

Quoted By:

KK will improve in time, he only made a couple rookie mistakes on timing and names due to his unfamiliarity with announcing for TV. I don't like Nigel, I don't like his rigid faux-seriousness or his accent, I'm sure he's good at what he's doing, but I just don't like it and I'm not sure I ever will. They could use a 3rd guy to fill the dead air something similar to what Ricky Starks used to do on Rampage in the past. Personally I would replace Don Callis with Nigel full time, and then have someone else rotating doing color work, Daddy Magic or someone like that.

Tenay is in the same position after leaving TNA that Schiavone was after leaving WCW. He doesn't want anything to do with wrestling.

Tony Khan on commentary. Seriously. It will awful, but the train wreck quality would get people to watch. What they're putting on certainly won't.
