I've got more Ho's than Jim Duggan
I'm really liking the new three man commentary team that TNA has used at both Turning Point and this recent set of Impact tapings.
Todd Keneley is a much more natural play-by-play guy than Tenay, and he seems to keep things focused. Tenay seems to be much more at home just getting to be in "the professor" role that he made his name in WCW with, and Taz doesn't get as much mic time for his occasional confused, pointless, interjections. Keneley sets them up nicely to add actual meaningful points and it just feels like a far more productive environment from a listeners perspective as far as explaining and putting over the action.
This may be the best commentary formula that TNA has ever presented. It puts forth the right mix of energy, information, and cohesion, while still allowing Taz's ridiculous brand of "wit" to come into play at times for entertainment purposes. So far the shows appear to run smoother from a commentary point of view and that can only continue to help the product. It seems we will get no more endless droning of sidetracked and off-topic banter between Tenay and Taz to drag down the action that is occurring, as Keneley appears to be there mainly to prevent those types of moments from happening- something he's done pretty well thus far.
What are your thoughts??
