Growing up as a WCW fan during the Monday Night Wars, Tony Schiavone was the voice of my childhood. So was Jim Ross but I just think that Schiavone's voice has the ability to make everything seem shocking and larger-than-life like few others can.
I just thought that he was missed at the commentary desk this week, to be fair. A guest announcer was brought on for some time but he hardly added anything to the proceedings.
JR seemed absolutely confused and puzzled when the new mystery faction attacked Cody Rhodes and I just thought that had Schiavone been there, his announcing would have made the segment cooler. Excalibur and JR just seem to have some kind of a disconnect during the action, that can possibly be attributed to the generation gap that exists between the two. Both men did a good job this week, but Schiavone was missed!
