The Wrestling Thread: Oh Mah Goodness...Part 33

This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]366237[/split]

 

[The Sage]

The Berserker strike and Rough Ryder puts Ziggler down!

 

[Dr. Evil]

She looks like Kat Graham from Vampire Diaries.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

So so so beautiful.

 

[Incrediblejeff]

Who is she?

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Eden stiles. Rookie ring announcer for WWE.

 

[Metallo]

Eden stiles. Rookie ring announcer for WWE.

So basically Johnny Ace painted his d*** to look like a microphone now?

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

To be honest, if their gonna bring in women like her, I don't give a **** how he finds them.

 

[Metallo]

To be honest, if their gonna bring in women like her, I don't give a **** how he finds them.

With the way he does things I kind of doubt she's worth anything beyond her looks. And you can see that in magazines...or porn...or any number of places.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Eh...She just does ring announcing. It isn't that hard.

 

[Metallo]

Eh...She just does ring announcing. It isn't that hard.

Tell that to some of the substandard ring announcers that have been in wrestling over the years or all the other pretty girls they've hired for the job who lasted less time than it takes to boil an egg.

There's a reason more people remember Finkle and Garcia more fondly than most others. I certainly wouldn't say what Finkle did wasn't impressive.

If they want her to show off her **** in a bikini fine but otherwise I wish they'd hire people who could actually get me excited about the matches with their ring announcing.

jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhn ceeeena!

 

[Metallo]

jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhn ceeeena!

Roberts is ok but if he left tomorrow I wouldn't give a f***.

Is it sad that Tony Chimmel is by far the best ring announcer in the WWE today?

I remember when the Fink made a NEW WWF champion sound absolutely epic.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Eh Ring announcing isn't my top priority or care at all. I don't mind her at all. She isn't that bad from what I'v seen of her anyway.

 

[Metallo]

Eh Ring announcing isn't my top priority or care at all. I don't mind her at all. She isn't that bad from what I'v seen of her anyway.

Considering its usually what kicks things of I think it doens't hurt for it to be good. When the show as a whole is good it only helps.

Like I said we can look at chicks like her on Google for God's sake. Its not like she brings much to the table that a bunch of other models in WWE already don't: her looks...which can be found all over the entertainment business.

No wonder the Divas division has gone straight into the toilet.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Like I said, it's only ring announcing. Eye candy isn't going to hurt with that. Also you keep talking like she's gonna be a wrestler or she's a horrible ring announcer. She isn't. She just needs time to improve.

 

[NDX]

Roberts is ok but if he left tomorrow I wouldn't give a f***.

I want to shoot him out of a cannon into a brick wall.

 

[Metallo]

Thats what they say about all the no talent models they hire. I'm still waiting for Maryse to get better in the ring or Kelly Kelly TO REALLY learn some psychology.

Typically WWE puts new divas in minor ring announcer positions or non wrestling roles until they decide to put them in the ring. Thats what happened with Tiffany, Maryse, and apparently Aksana now.

Here's a novel idea...for good ring announcing why don't they hire ring announcers? Or at least someone with some actual vocal training like Lillian Garcia had

"Its only ring announcing." WWE has that same attitude and thats why it blows these days. Same with most of the broadcasting announcers there.

Like I said if Angela Fong or whatever broad Johnny Ace picked out of a swimsuit catalog while he was putting the ace crusher on his d*** announced Steamboats win at Wrestlemania III would that moment have been AS memorable? I kinda doubt it.

Ring announcing is part of the show and its part of their job to get people amped up for what they are about to see. Its all connected. The whole show. Even the minor parts.

When a big moment goes down or someone has an important title win for the first time you want a resonating voice to be the one to deliver it.

If they want this chick to be eye candy just make her eye candy. Make her the ring girl or a valet or something.

 

[Metallo]

Damn look at how Madison Rayne fills out that camo top...Mmm

And is Tara wearing a Mickie Skirt? Somebody get us screencaps stat! In the iconic words of one of our illustrious posters "Dat...ass!" I'd like to have a summer home there.


Kinda glad to see Madison won. It was unexpected. She's due to get moved up the card and it makes things a little more interesting with her in the mix. Tara would have delivered the better match but another heel in there gives it a fresh dynamic.

I want to shoot him out of a cannon into a brick wall.

Spoken like the true b*st*rd we know and love...or mostly just know.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Eh, I'll agree to disagree. That match makes the match special not the ring announcing. I don't care about the freaking ring announcer if im watching Undertaker vs HBK at WM25. I care about the match itself. Give me some eye candy that doesn't **** up names at least and im good.

 

[Metallo]

Eh, I'll agree to disagree. That match makes the match special not the ring announcing.

Jeez you missed the whole point.

The ring announcing is an ELEMENT of the overall presentation. How hard is that to understand?

Why do you think the wrestlers themselves prefer it when they have good people ring announcing and at the desk. Even Bret Hart said thats what he wanted when he returned.

Why do you think Howard Finkel always gets praised or why WCW always brought in Michael Buffer for the big time matches? Do you think all those people have no clue what they're talking about? Like I said ring announcing is part of the overall presentation to SET THE STAGE. To give it a big fight feel.

I guess when people eat crap long enough they DO get used to the taste and brush it off. There was a time when WWE used to have top people in every area of the on air production. They've grown lax there.

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Its not a element I care to care about though. Thats my point. I don't care about the freaking ring announcer. As long as your not ****ing up names, it doesn't matter to me. What happens in the ring is what counts to me.

Good for you. I guess kids today like a halfass presentation. Some of us actually want the presentation to be good particularly when we have to pay for it.

I'm sure you'd have Hornswoggle announcing Austins first title win right? Like you said it doesn't matter

Steel Cage Match
Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels
Utica, New York – 1st December, 1993

I had no idea they were ever in a steel cage match together. Of course it's during their early days though. I can't wait , this is the most excited about a WWE release in a while. Also can't wait for the Muppets , too bad no Stone Cold , Vince , or Mick Foley to interact with. Maybe they should call up the Rock.
