- Hardcore legend Mick Foley recently got into an argument with a fan on facebook over who the top 5 announcers of all time were.
The fan was allegedly drunk and retracted Foley’s opinion about Jim Ross being the best ever announcer in wrestling history. Foley posted this on Facebook addressing the issue and the fan:
NAME YOUR TOP 5 ANNOUNCERS OF ALL-TIME
Last night, the Q&A session at the ?#FiftyYearsOfFoley? show threatened to get ugly, when a lad, with the help of a few too many pints took great exception to my oft-stated stance that ?#WWEHOF? announcer Jim Ross is the best wrestling announcer of all time. The lad was a little tough to understand...sometimes a few extra pints will do that to a guy. But in the end with great concentration I grasped the point he seemed to be so desperately trying to make: my belief that JR is the greatest Wrestling commentator of all time was downright offensive to him and his earnest belief that the duo of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon were the greatest announcers of all time.
I broke the tense standoff the only way I knew how. "Dude", I said. "These are OPINIONS. They're not facts. You are entitled to your opinion - and I'm entitled to mine, right?" Thankfully, the guy calmed down, apologized for creating a disturbance. I shook his hand and headed back to the stage. I heard him call out to me."Mick?""Yeah?""Do you think Eric Bischoff was underrated as an announcer?"I had him thrown out of the building immediately.
Go ahead - give me your top 5. Play by play, color, heel announcers, etc. They can be from any era, any promotion, any country - American, English, Irish, Japanese - you choose. There are no right or wrong answers. Wait, check that - Don West IS a wrong answer! YOU vote! We'll do the counting (I have a legit statistics guy helping me) and will post our findings early next week. Have a nice day!
