[Majingir]

It's a LONG read, so I put it in spoiler tags. Long read,but interesting to read all the strict policies for commentators. No wonder commentary sucks in WWE.

JBL clearly didn't get the nobody cares about the announcers opinion and the don't scream memos

If we go by those guidelines, every single great announcer in the history of wrestling wouldn't even make it to the front door at WWE. It's no wonder the commentary has been so wretched for years now.

To be fair a lot of this is from 2008.

WHC Jack Swagger? This is outdated, and most of today's commentary breaks this stuff anyway.

Yeah they've changed a lot of their 'guidelines' ... I honestly say let the announcers just sound like fans, just don't let them break kayfabe and use terms like heel or face when describing a likable or unlikable character

Outdated sure,but you can see the general guideline for this and just how strict wwe is on all these things

Lucha Underground does a good job of this.


Something crazy happened on it once and Vampiro got up from the announcer table, got into the crowd and started chanting with them.
