Huge week is upon us...Vegas bound for @AEWrestling ...so excited I packed yesterday! Excited to see what we have Saturday night on PPV at #DoubleorNothing. Big time players play hard on the biggest stages. A Game Required! pic.twitter.com/ysTFFrhPlj
I was recently watching one of the Flair and Steamboat matches from 1989 back and was reminded of just how good Jim Ross was during his prime in WCW. Of course, he was the voice of the Attitude Era too, with Jerry 'The King' Lawler, and both men called the action with their own distinct flavor, making the proceedings seem much larger than life.
Fast forward to 2019, and Jim Ross is no longer the same announcer he was. That said, I thought that he did an okay job at the booth and so did Excalibur, who was on fire.

Alex Marvez, on the other hand, was simply awful. He seemed so unenthusiastic about the proceedings on hand that he seemed to bring the energy down even when the action was frantic and fast-paced.
To be honest, I think that AEW could do with a 2 man booth.
