All-Time: Greatest Commentator

Was just listening to Jesse Ventura and Vince McMahon on Commentery (Royal Rumble 88) and it got me thinking, Who is the greatest Commentator of all-time.

To me it was Jesse Ventura. He was the Heel commentator of all heel commentators. His voice was so dominant and attention grabbing. I just loved it and his comments were just brilliant.

Tony Shiavone would come in a close second.

How about you?

Ventura really does have that voice where you don't just hear him, you listen to him. Jim Ross is an obvious answer. I am biased though, cause I did grow up with him calling all those moments. But there is definitely a case for JR anyway and he'd probably be my personal pick. Bobby Heenan was always awesome too for the record.

Easy, JR.

Ventura is a good choice for greatest commentator. He easily has the greatest voice when it comes to wrestling commentating. Although, I wouldn't rank him as my favorite. JR, hell no! Sure, JR has called some of the most memorable and legendary matches, and that makes JR a hall of famer but based off his commentating abilities, just no. Not even close.

I have two people I want to mention. JBL. While he was only commentating for about a year I loved him commentating. He was awesome. Still not my favorite. My favorite would be Joey Styles...easily. He is simply the best play-by-play commentator and could keep us interested by himself.

JBL did not do it long enough to be the greatest. I really loved him calling matches, but he only did it for a year.

JR's voice connected to some of the greatest moments in history. There is no one else I would rather have heard calling Austin's first WWE Championship win or Taker tossing Mankind off of the Cell.

Joey Styles was very good and he was very good druing his short time on Raw. Coach ruined that annouce team though. Coach was so brutal, he made everyone worse.

^That is why I didn't pick JBL as the greatest commentator. I was just stating he was one of my personal favorites. Although, honestly, I don't see what time should really have to do with being the greatest. Quality of commentating skills not quanity of time commentating. I'm still going with Styles as the greatest.

Hello? Did Tony not help kill WCW?

JR might be the voice of WWE, and yes I miss him, but Styles did it by himself and did a helluva good job doing it.

JR's voice makes me want to go kill a dog.

Tazz tbh... is the best.

of all time jr but current would have to be the king
