He's A Good Man
I am not feeling this guy at all. I am watching this week's Smackdown to see the Bullet Club segment(i rarely watch SD) and this dude is getting on my nerves every time he speaks. His voice just sounds so unnatural to me. I do like that he actually calls moves. He just sounds like he should be calling an NHL game or something. He sounds like a news caster. I really would rather listen to JBL just say Maggle for 3 hours than this guy. I hope that changes because fukk JBL lol.
Best announcer out there today in my opinion. He helps you really get into matches no matter how silly the storyline may be. The dynamic with him and King could work.
Could being the key word because at the moment King is annoying as hell with his nonstop jokes about Mauro knowing too many facts and calling moves by their real names.

I dont even know what that means
I personally enjoy his work, I just don't like him talking over entrances. He does that way too often, or at least he did that way too often during Pride FC and Glory kickboxing broadcasts

wow, couldn't disagree more to be honest. I love the way Mauro is actually into the shyt he's calling and calls it in a way that doesn't treat me like a fukking moron. Can't stand Cole's being the voice of Vince and JBL saying stupid shyt trying to "be a heel".
I think he's done an amazing job. Great vocabulary, puts people over, extensive knowledge about the business and knows wrestling moves, shows passion and emotion, etc.
Lawler needs to retire though. His heel work is annoying and not in the annoying heel type of way but more in the
type of way. It's even more annoying when he makes fun of Ranallo for knowing his stuff. It sounds like when they were clowning Striker for knowing too much all over again.

i just hate his voice. sounds like news caster putting a fake spin on everything he says. i'd rather hear Mike Tenay than this dude. like i said i dont watch smackdown so he's still very new to me. my opinion can change...but dude made it hard for me to get through the show

Yeah Lawler is past his expiration date. They need to call up Corey Graves to call Smackdown with Mauro

Bond's gun spoke once....
at least we have someone calling moves/talking wrestlng for once. Remember Neviles injury? The three stooges didnt aknowledge anything because they were busy being company schills till the match ended. Hes much better than the three guys calling raw right now, imo.

and he actually sounds like he knows what he's saying when he calls moves...if Cole calls a move thats not your usually arm drag or something he sounds like he just read it off a piece of paper...
