    Jim Ross To Call Raw Matches At Wrestlemania Instead Of Joey Styles

    Jim Ross To Call Raw Matches At Wrestlemania Instead Of Joey Styles
    Submitted by Daniel Pena on Tuesday, March 28, 2006 at 12:21 AM EST


    Joey Styles has been dealt a huge blow as he will not be calling the Raw matches for Wrestlemania even though he is the lead Raw announcer. The announcer taking Joey Styles place as the lead Raw announcer at Wrestlemania will be none other than Jim Ross. They were both informed of this news on Monday.

    As late as two days ago, Jim Ross assumed his role during Wrestlemania weekend would be to host the Hall of Fame banquet. It was announced on Raw last night that Jerry "The King" Lawler will be hosting the Hall of Fame banquet.

    Now this is a low blow imo. If I were Joey Styles, I would be pissed off. They have done nothing but crap on this guy since he's been in the WWE.

      That's too bad, I think Styles is starting to grasp the WWE style and get used to the three man booth. IMO, tonight was one of the best jobs he's done since joining the E

      That said, having Ross at SNME showed Style's deficiencies. He's great at just calling a match, but he doesn't push anything nearly as good as Ross, and I think it hurts the WWE storylines alot. It's hard to push a fued if the announcers don't do their job.

      That said, if Styles is the lead Raw guy, he should be calling the matches at Mania. It's not fair to him.

          I agree with this completely. It's like they have no faith in him.

          Why not make it Styles, Ross, and Lawler at WM for RAW matches?

            Styles has not been given a fair chance. Why not just let him and Jerry Lawler announce and see how that works. I think the Coach is a complete waste in a commentator's role.

              Next thing you know Styles will be asked to step down.

              The guy is doing a pretty good job. It's not like he's sucking the life away from the program. Yeah I know I stepped away from the commentary last night but that was due to the actual product on TV and not Styles' announcing. If there's any guy that deserves this treatment it's Coach. I can't stand the guy on the mic!

                    I guess I'm the only one happy that Ross is coming back... The man is a legend and he's just a better overall announcer than Styles... With that being said, I think this is totally unfair to Styles and I would be extremely pissed if I was him.

                      Don't worry, I'm happy about it too superstar. And I have to second the rest of your post.

                      And on the topic of Styles, last night was like a watershed moment for Joey. It was easily the best night the three man both had. Joey was great. But he still couldn't sell WrestleMania like JR. Or Mean Gene.

                        I like Jim Ross just as much as the next guy but give us one or the other full time or both at WM. Leaving Styles off totally from WM if that is the case is just flat wrong. I bet he is really upset about it. Calling WM as a commentator I'm sure was one of his goals or dreams since being in the biz and preventing him from calling it after signing him is BS.

                          I agree, I really loved Jim and Jerry. I will say this tho if they would get rid of that b/s coach announcing maybe Styles would come to me better but as of now i hate both of them. I do feel bad for Styles tho in a way but he will live, He said awhile back he would step down for Jim Ross anytime b/c he was a legend

                            It's unfair to Styles but I like the idea anyways, I always liked JR more and glad he will be at mania.
