This is my first thread but it's been something thats weighed on my mind for a while.
Which commentator would you rank as the best? I am only using the heel commentator position and, while I would have liked to include JR, the WWF/E failed to get him over as a heel. So... here are the options
Jerry "the King" Lawler enjoyed commentating fame during the Attitude Era as the heelish announcer that had an obsession with "puppies." His ability to entertain people was top notch during the late 90s and early 00s.
Bobby "the Brain" Heenan was one of the most hated managers and color commentators in the history of the sport. He was quite possibly one of the most entertaining announcers in his prime when he would beg and plead for his wrestlers to win.
Jesse "the Body" Ventura was one of the best commentators of the mid 80s to early 90s. You genuinely hated him when he called matches because he was oblivious to whatever the heels did wrong.
All three of these commentators are amazing in their prime. However, who would YOU rank as the best and why?
I realized after I posted this that I did not include NWA/WCW. It's probably due to the fact that I rarely watched NWA/WCW when I was younger so couldnt vouch for who the heel commentator was during the late 80s-mid 90s (up til Bobby the Brain Heenan). If you want to include someone from NWA/WCW please feel free to state who you would pick and why.
