It's hard to describe what exactly it is about Barrett's commentary that bothers me so much. He sounds like a guy who just put on Wrestlemania for his girlfriend who has never watched wrestling and is constantly explaining the psychology like >Jericho is deliberately slowing the pace down here because he's the heel, err bad guy>Cena is about to pop the crowd and do all his signature moves. Fans call them the five moves of doom!His commentary is explicitly just "this is the story WWE is trying to tell here." and it takes me completely out of whatever match he's calling Sometimes he also has these immersion-breaking meta dirtsheet linesWhen you are randomly talking about how Gunther would "thrive in any era of wrestling" during his match with AJ Styles, WTF does that even mean in kayfabe? What are you trying to even sell here?Or he'll say some shit like "Now that'll put butts in seats!" like nigga just react to what is happening
>>19856928wade’s the best commentator WWE has right now
>>19856932this
>>19856928People used to same the same shit about Michael Cole and he's basically the GOAT these days.
Wade absolutely doesnt care anymore.
>>19856928I watch wwe maybe once every four or five years, I watched some of the rumble this year and this guy was the absolute worst part of it. To be fair I mostly watch aew and I also don't like nigel, so maybe I just hate bongs.
I like him, he has a cool voice
Wade fucking sucks, and many people are saying this.
>>19856951That's how bad things are nowadays, yes.
>>19856928WWE has nothing close to Nigel McGuinness or Ian Riccaboni Once Schiavone kicks the bucket and Excalibur gets fired for saying the nigger word, AEW will have the best commentary in the biz
>>19856928as a brit I dont care for him. I think it's because he doesn't take anything seriously. I cant imagine doing the commentary for an iconic heel turn, he'd make it stupid
>>19858572nigel sounds like coarse sandpaper. he's monotone as fuck and more interested in getting his stupid jokes and outdated cultural references over.
