I've grown to appreicate Schiavone more since rewatching the Nitros on the Network but the constant hyperbole really wears you down after a while. He also never really clicked with a color commentator in the way you had with Gorilla and Jesse/Bobby or JR and King.

Speaking of WCW commentators, if I had a dollar every time Larry Zbyszko said "the human game of chess" on Nitro.... :francis:

Imo, Tony Schiavone is the best announcer ever. Dude sold everything with 100% conviction no matter how terrible it was. Even JR can't claim that, as he'd make it pretty clear when he was not enthused with shyt. My recaps of all Nitro/Thunders led me for a profound appreciation of Tony, which only grew when hearing him call shows that were actually good.
The most fun commentating will always be from Heenan and Ventura in some way. I know Ventura definitely didn't like Tony Schiavone...he mentioned that a short awhile ago in a sit down with someone.

Well they had great chemistry. Jesse/Tony is up there on my top teams of all time, both in WCW and WWF. Are you sure it was Tony and not JR he was talking about?

I remember him saying he didn't mesh well with JR, mostly because he tried to create a face/heel dynamic in commentary but JR never played off of it. He would throw JR things to reply to, but JR would just stick to the play-by-play so they never became a good team.

Good lord the nwo b team was some shyt :scust:
Scott norton was money but man, the rest were brutal...Buff Bagwell was such a piece of shyt...maybe my second least favorite wrestler of all time.

Vincent - abysmal
Brian adams - abhorrent
Stevie Ray - worst thing he has ever done
Disco inferno - was better as just disco inferno
Disciple - supergay
Horace Hogan - Just...the absolute drizzling shyts
nWo sting - GOAT :lawd:
