The Voices of Wrestlings

Ever wonder what makes wrestling feel so electric when you're watching from home? The secret might be the voices guiding you through every slam, submission, and storyline. In this deep-dive episode, we explore how commentators transform wrestling from athletic exhibition into captivating drama.

The pandemic era taught us something profound about wrestling - when crowd reactions disappeared, commentary became our emotional anchor to the matches. Without those passionate voices narrating the action, something essential was missing. As one host explains, "If you ever tried to sit there and watch wrestling on mute, it would be crazy because it just doesn't work."

We tackle the fascinating contrast between WWE and AEW's commentary approaches. WWE commentators like Michael Cole and Pat McAfee excel at entertainment and storytelling, while AEW's team focuses more intensely on in-ring technique. This mirrors the larger philosophical differences between the promotions - WWE showcases entertainers while AEW highlights wrestlers.

The heart of our discussion centers around building a definitive top 10 list of wrestling commentators. Names like Mauro Ranallo, Jim Ross, Joey Styles, and Mike Tenay spark passionate debate about what makes a commentator truly great. Is it their catch phrases? Their technical knowledge? Or perhaps their chemistry with partners?

Speaking of chemistry, we imagine dream commentary pairings across eras and promotions. What if Joey Styles and Mauro Ranallo called an AEW pay-per-view together? We theorize they'd "kill themselves halfway through from sensory overload with the wrestling." Some combinations would create perfect harmony, while others would generate fascinating friction.

Whether you're a longtime fan or new to wrestling, you'll gain a fresh appreciation for the voices that have shaped our collective wrestling memories. These aren't just people talking about what we can already see - they're storytellers transforming athletic performances into emotional journeys.

Join us next week when we'll tackle wrestling's most memorable catchphrases - the signature lines that turned wrestlers into icons!
