Mike AdamleAs you may have already heard, WWE is great to witness live but mostly the product is consumed every week from our TV screens or social media. While watching WWE live on a screen, you do get to hear commentators which the audience in the arena can’t.The job of the commentator is quite important, they try to tell the story that is playing out in front of them. So, in a way the audience t home have an advantage of witnessing a story unravel. Great commentary can make you care about a story. Thankyou, J.R. But lately, that has been precisely one of the reasons not to tune in. But they do some good work now and then.Yet, here are 5 Worst commentators in WWE history
#5 Michael Cole
Okay, so on a good day with good content to work with Michael Cole is a gem and that’s why he’s last on this list but mostly he’s been used in the PG Era as an annoying heel or a glorifying babyface.
Heel or face he always loved company man John Cena. He’s a relentless publicist of WWE Network and that already is a big tune off. He and Lawler more time than less have turned away from the action to describe or talk about something entirely different.
As JBL once said, ”Call the match”
#4 Jerry \'The King\' Lawler
He was a great antagonist to J.R’s great commentary and it was nice that despite their different opinions they were great friends. And on a good day, King is a dependable commentator after Byron Saxton flubbed his lines following Lesnar’s attack on the commentary desk.
But he’s no longer that funny or interesting to listen to. He’s had blunders within blunders. And one of them majorly has been his toilet humor and turningaway from the action and get distracted into talking about something else.
#3 Byron Saxton
He’s still young and there’s a lot that he’s to learn. Firstly, Saxton is just beginning to hone his craft. He’s a decent backstage interviewer but when you put a bit of a spotlight on him or let him call the action all alone or interview a superstar elaborately, he lacks a lot of skill. His sit down interview with Roman reigns wasn’t memorable, neither was the way he handled commentary alone when Lesnar attacked JBL, Cole and Booker T.
#2 Jonathan Coachman
He’s a better interviewer. He has that presence that you want of a backstage interviewer but when it comes to commentary, it’s a bit of a stretch from what he’s known to do.
Coachman returned to Smackdown in 2008 as a color commentator next to Michale Cole and Cole was obviously, monumentally better. Coachman shifted to ESPN later on and that may be the best shift ever made by him.
#1 Mike Adamle
The more you forget about his time at the commentary booth, the better. Even good old J.R. couldn’t even make him sound better. Adamle just did not get pro- wrestling. He had the voice and presence that McMahon needed but just did not have enough knowledge about the business to sit and call the action and manage to present a good story.
He called Umaga the ‘Samaon Bulldog’, he once called Jeff Hardy Jeff ‘Harvey’. So many flubs.
