I actually like Booker T's commentary more than most. Dude makes no sense at all but at least he's enthusiastic.

Which probably makes most scoff at my appraisal of announcing but whatever.

Best guy who wasn't given a shot... hmmm... not sure about Austin not sure he translates well-- would expect him to be better as a face announcer actually as his style as a heel is more about cutting dudes down and obviously you don't want to bury the guys out there. Maybe he could make it work, but I mean we've seen like, Ted Dibiase and Macho Man so it's not a given you're a good announcer if you're a good talker.

All things considered, to be an effective heel announcer, to me the recurring theme has always been that the announcer needs to have some smarminess to em. So I cross map the great smarmy characters of the past with the great talkers, but removing the more bombastic ones like Flair as they'd just overwhelm the announce position. So we're left with Chris Jericho (specifically in his shrieking conspiracy theorist character), Christian, Edge, Christopher Daniels, Disco Inferno (yes) coming to mind as potentially great. Current guys Kevin Owens and Miz could in the future be pretty great too.

I actually often hired Disco Inferno as a color commentator in TEW games set in eras where he was well past wrestling prime so yeah I think that'd actually be really awesome. Disco Inferno is my official pick. I think he's just got the perfect character for it combined with enough natural talking ability and charisma to do pretty well there.
