J.R. and King from 98-01. J.R. wore his voice out by 02 and also was clearly a lot less into it post attitude era. So he's sucked for like 20 years now but he was the absolute best at his peak. Heyman was a good fit with him too

Looking back, I've decided that Lawler annoys the shit out of me. I like j.r. with dusty on terrible WCW ppvs. (Not that attitude era j.r. isn't amazing. Lawler just ruins a lot of it for me.)

Thinking back Dusty was super underrated but Brain was way past his prime here. Tony was fine until the NWO came in
>>10720037
We had an embarrassment of riches in the late 80s Gorilla and Brain, Vince and Jesse. It's hard to pick my favourite, the genuine friendemy of Moonson and Heenan was really nice but Ventura shit talking his boss on air regularly is pretty damn entertaining lo

Brain being past his prime kind of adds to it. He sounds genuinely checked out and annoyed with the other two, at times.

King was always my favourite. He was so good as a heel. His high pitch squeals and general hypocrisy was amazing. I feel like most heel commentators are still trying to replicate that hypocrisy, but it just seems more natural when King did it. And its a bit cheap, but whenever he would wail at a big spot or punchline it popped me too. JR was a good antithesis to him, but I never really liked his voice that much. Overall I would have to agree with you though.

King was definitely great at sounding like he believed his own bullshit. Nobody else can seem to pull it off, they just sound like cunts arguing for the sake of arguing, and not even trying to sound like they mean what they say.

Based. That would probably be my favorite combo too, although Monsoon and Ventura were also really comfy.

Tenay and West were the perfect balance of play-by-play and color. No one has done sports-like analysis on commentary better than Tenay and Don West was so good at selling what was going on it felt like he didn't know it was work kek

Always thought these were the perfect pairings for their shows. Different styles and dynamics but it worked for the RAW/SDs of the time.

I also love Mauro and I don’t think he gets enough credit.

Why can't we have people in wrestling that are legit good at improvising like heenan and cornette and mean gene?
In modern wrestling RJ City is the only guy I could think of who's anywhere as quick witted as those names and he's being wasted on some obscure YouTube show

We have Corey Graves. Took him a while to get there but he’s the best/quickest heel color commentator in the business right now. Wade Barret is also starting to get really good.
