How is Mauro Ranallo doing as WWE announcer?

[BJP81]

Now I don't watch very much of the current product at all, but I've been going back and watching some 1998-1999 Raw episodes over the last few weeks and remembered that Mauro recently got a job commentating for WWE. I'm curious as to what the general perception is of him in this arena, is he any good? He was a great MMA commentator before this, but I can see why some wrestling fans could think he's hacky, or just too over the top.

Pretty awesome! Dude's got a great voice for pro wrestling.

You should catch an episode of SmackDown one of these days...they're doing some cool things over there!

I have been meaning to catch it. Used to love watching wrestling when I was growing up, and I've been feeling nostalgic lately. I'm hearing Smackdown is the more entertaining show these days.

He's great but rumor has it he is not going to be Smackdown! announcer much longer. Rumor is that Todd Phillips is being groomed for the role. Not sure where that leaves Mauro.

Those rumours are flat out false according to the man himself.

People working in pro wrestling never lie, amirite?

 

[Ozymandias]

He's good but his pop culture references every couple minutes can get annoying.

I think you are thinking of Tom Phillips and if I had to bet he's taking over David Otunga's spot.

So a guy who still does legit sports can kayfabe and keep credibility?

#Tomspiracy

 

[RighteousWar]

I have been meaning to catch it. Used to love watching wrestling when I was growing up, and I've been feeling nostalgic lately. I'm hearing Smackdown is the more entertaining show these days.

It probably won't have the appeal it did when you were a kid...probably because you're an adult now...but there's a lot to be appreciated these days, despite what all the whiny pro wrestling "fans" cry about.

Personally, I'm having a fun time keeping up with the latest!

 

[Theprospect26]

I've heard the same rumors about Tom Phillips being groomed to replace him, and his contract not being renewed. It would be a mistake by WWE. Dude is, by far, the best commentator they have right now.

I'm hoping it's actually Otunga that gets replaced instead of Mauro. Otunga is absolute garbage.

 

[BillyBatts]

He's good but his pop culture references every couple minutes can get annoying.

That and his annoying "Mama Mia" shit.

 

[scottmushroom]

I wasn't a fan of Mauro as an MMA commentator, but his over the top style is great for WWE. I think him and Corey Graves are the two best in the company.

 

[Goatenstein]

He does as well as he can with fascists controlling what he says.

A squad
Mauro- play-by-play
Graves- heel color commentary

B squad
Michael Cole- play-by-play
JBL- heel color commentary

No need for a third at the desk unless a visiting legend or guy on the shelf. Byron Saxton goes to Main Event or NXT with Tom Phillips and another talent because, if Byron can learn play-by-play, he has potential. David Otunga goes back to being a professional baby daddy.

Agree to the above even though I'm not a big fan of Graves.

David Otunga is probably the least talented person to ever sit at a WWF/E announce table. He's absolutely abysmal in every sense.

I've also enjoyed Ares on 205 Live. Saxton has potential but needs to develop more. I agree that him and Phillips would be good for NXT. Mauro and Graves would be ideal to me exactly as you put it.

No personality? check
Forced references to his famous wife? check
Adds nothing to anything? check

Yeah, hes useless. Not sure why they think 3 man teams are needed (apparently 4 on SD now...) They should have 2 commentators, 1 ring announcer, and 1 interviewer. I'd like Mauro/Graves commentary, Renee Young for interviewer, and Jojo for ring announce
