"Heavy edit: 11 for the play by play in general. 10 for saving WCW's ass more often than not. 10 for being the polar opposite of King Lawler in the commentary booth. Negative 12 for ALL OF THE SCREAMING AND YELLING in the early days. Negative 11 more because "Red Ass JR" ruins every damn podcast he does. That leaves us with an 8."
