What the announcers say, and what they mean

F

Foley For Champ

World Wrestling Federation Champion
This is just for fun, seeing if we can see what the announcers are really mean as opposed to what they say.

To start, i'll use one of my favourites

'I dont think he/she got all of it' - They botched it.
 
Classic Commentary

"He shoulda hooked the leg, Gorilla!"

Thank you Jesse Ventura. I have yet to figure out the significance of saying this, but I am sure in your wisdom you knew what you were talking about. Perhaps you were referring to a pin that would have made the 3 count, or a submission hold that would have had more umph if said wrestler Did hook that leg. :)
 
holy shit!=something badass or totally shocking just happened in the ring. Taz has said this more than once. Example-Brock Lesnar and Big Show broke the ring with a suplex from the corner.
 
Good Ol' JR "Good God Almight" which meant "Is he hurt?" as per most of Shane McMahon's matches and Mick Foley's infamous fall from the top of the cell.
 
"The greatest/biggest ______ ever" = over exaggerating hyping a currently heated feud, wrestling match, or anticipated card.
 
"he doesn't get paid by the hour" - a way of saying a wrestler is shit so they keep his matches short
"look at the size of this guy" - normally kept for freaks like Khali and Viscera who had no talent other then being large
 
Usually in a Royal Rumble etc. "Can you imagine (insert jobbers name here) headlining Wrestlemania" - Means why is he even bothering entering. I give him a minute at best,
 
"There's a mixed response from the crowd" - everyone with a brain is booing, cos they suck, and the kids are cheering cos they don't know beter
 
"That had to hurt" = Thank god he's a trained professional.
"Gore! Gore! Gore! Gore!" = I wish Heyman was here.
"That's gotta be it" = That's not it.
"Shelton Benjamin is arguably the most gifted natural athlete in the WWE" = He can't talk to save his life.
"The referee needs to put a stop to this" = If this was a legitimate sporting contest, this referee would be banned from ever reffing a match again.
"They're the Tag Champs for a reason" = We have no other tag-teams.
"PUPPIES" = Let us all banish the memories of my excellent commentary some 10 years ago & concentrate on shitty little catch-phrases.
"He must have fell 15 feet there" = He must have fell 6 feet there.
"The Cerebral Assassin" = I wish I could come up with my own cool nick-name.
"Big show is the worlds largest athlete" = Big Show could have been somebody were he not such a lazy, fat fuck.
"I'm your commentator Josh Matthews" = I'm Josh Matthews & I'm too small to be a wrestler.
"Were gonna go live backstage" = Were now gonna cut to a pre taped segment because even the best talkers in the company aren't actually that good.
"I've been looking forward to this match all night" = I hope Cena & Batista die backstage & their match can never take place.
"Future hall of famer" = Has sold alot of merchandise.
"2nd Generation Superstar" = His dad was way better.
"In what many people are calling, The greatest Wrestlemania ever" = In what many people are calling, One of the top 26 Wrestlemanias ever.
"The Boss, Mr MacMahon" = The guy who shouts at me through my headphones.
"ECW" = Not even close to being ECW.
"Daniel Bryan" = Bryan Danielson.
 
What they say: "Kane has to be the odds on favorite in this match."

What that means: Kane's 24-hour title reign from 12 years ago should TOTALLY be enough to convince you guys that he's a legit threat.
 
Business is picking up: The boring, meaningless fluff is out of the way and now you should start paying attention.

End this thread. This was hilarious! Best post I've ever seen here and I lurked for a while. Just...hilarious.
 
You internet geeks and your daniel bryan crusade" -as said by Michael Cole which means 'people who are smarter than me and don't have VKM yelling in my ear telling me what to say on a nightly basis' :lmao:

I'm Michael Cole and this is Raw, the longest running weekly episodic televised program- means I've not been paid enough to keep saying this each week, and wish someone would put me out of my misery so I don't have to sit next to this geezer on Monday, and call the lame matches of wannabes on Tuesdays. :banghead:
 
"This match could get a little ugly" - This match is just going to be two big guys punching & kicking the living piss out of each other & moving at a snail's pace because they can't do anything else.


"Twist of Fate! Twist of Fate! Ladies & gentlemen this one is over!" - This one is most definitely NOT over & will continue for approximately 3 more minutes, after which Matt Hardy will do the job.


"He doesn't know a wristlock from a wristwatch" - He doesn't know his ass from his elbow, but he's really big & muscular so Vince has a massive hard-on for him & will continue to push him.


"They went at it for over 40 minutes last night in a truly epic encounter" - Their match went 22 minutes and dragged on & on & on.


"This Sunday is shaping up to be an all-time classic!" - Buy the damn pay per view.


"Hulk Hogan & TNA are coming after WWE brother!" - I hope I do well enough here to grab Vince's attention so he'll offer me a job.


"Oh my God! Did you see that move?!? INCREDIBLE!!!" - That was an armdrag.


"The fans are going wild!" - The fans really don't give a toss about these guys in the ring right now.


"This Sunday, the Undertaker is facing the greatest threat to his Wrestlemania streak EVER!" - Taker's winning on Sunday.


"This guy has been a huge star in Japan for many years" - This guy is a lifelong jobber but since he's Japanese you won't have heard of him, so we can tell you whatever the hell we like & you'll believe it.


"He's got a tremendous upside" - This guy has no redeeming qualities whatsover, I don't know why he is even employed.


"Devastating manoeuvre!" - I have no idea what that move is called.
 
We're back from commercial with the instant replay on this heinous/vicious/unwarranted attack by (name) on (insert name here) is just shocking - we're just saying it because you know it brings a good roll to the storyline up to the next PPV, and we'll replay it a million more times in the next week.

That match was over faster than some of my previous relationships!!-King in reference to a squash match.

Ladies and Gentlemen, WWE is pleased to bring you the previously named matches this Sunday in what is surely a Fan Favorite (TLC, Bragging Rights, Fatal Four Way). - WTF- Fan favorite? Michael Cole...you know you are guilty as well as King of these mouth diarrheas fan faves on the BRAND NEW PPV's?
