Does anyone know or at least have a guess as to our chances of not having to listen to this guy anymore. It would be great to hear J. Carl again but almost anyone would be better, except Askren of course.

I hope this is not one of y’all or your dad, but the guy with the cowboy hat that announces our home matches needs to go.
So is Old #9 the GIA wrestling announcer?I was introduced to wrestling by Bob Dellinger in 1978 and IMO he was the best so there was nowhere to go but down.
I remember the first match after he retired from the mic (don't remember the year) and it was like turning on my favorite TV show and finding that they had replaced one of my favorite supporting actors.
No, and I don't like the current guy either. Too bombastic for my taste. I also hate any music (or tapping sounds/whatever) played while wrestling is ongoing. I'm assuming that the wrestlers like their intro songs and that's great. Before, ok; after ok, but not during short breaks between periods.
I don't need music to pump me up for a match and I certainly don't need it (or some other noise) to keep me engaged/awake during the match. Let me hear the coaches, the crowd, the wrestlers, the whistle and the band.
There have to be better options on all frontsI don’t mind Rex. I do think our announcer should travel with the team on road trips. Big time programs shouldn’t watch internet feeds and call matches!

I’m with you. I HATE the “on hold” music during the match. AwfulNo, and I don't like the current guy either. Too bombastic for my taste.

I'm glad that there are others who feel as I do. Last time I complained about it I was shot down.Thought I was the only one that felt like this. Whoever is in charge of our creative match/show production is absolutely horrible.
What the hell does that mean? I don't understand why my initial comments would make you think I would leave before heavyweight.Then you use meth…
I bolder the part in the post above about being awake…then I mentioned leaving before heavyweight.What the hell does that mean? I don't understand why my initial comments would make you think I would leave before heavyweight.
I've been a season ticket holder for 45 years and I've never left before heavyweight. I've only missed about 5 matches for business travel in all those years and two this passed season because of hip replacement.
and get rid of the damn flashing lights!No, and I don't like the current guy either. Too bombastic for my taste. I also hate any music (or tapping sounds/whatever) played while wrestling is ongoing.

ahh ... perhaps you were asleep during the Dean Heil era?-Doucet is the most boring Wrestler in our recent history.
Haha, no…but Heil was 10x more entertaining and that’s saying somethingahh ... perhaps you were asleep during the Dean Heil era?![]()
Tends to talk with lots of confidence and not really acknowledge what he doesn’t know. He’s fine for play by play in baseball… plenty of time between actions, lol. I’d love to hear a fresh voice commentating wrestling, someone genuinely interested in the sport. These days it doesn’t even have to be someone onsite.Listening to Rex yesterday and he is clueless on our current wrestling situation. He did know that Carroll was dropping to 197 but he was adamant that it was only for one year and then he would bulk up to hwt. He also made several other comments that I found strange about the team.
I realize that he is neck-deep in baseball right now but he has a lot of catching up to do on the wrestling program.

-Doucet is the most boring Wrestler in our recent history.
-people fall asleep during his performances.
You said you never leave early implying that you watch heavyweight and don’t fall asleep.
-implies the use of an upper because Doucet could put Bobby Possumcodd to sleep.
*so it was a joke, relax
Or he could just not talk wrestling at all hahaI realize that he is neck-deep in baseball right now but he has a lot of catching up to do on the wrestling program.
