So, many times, we talk about who would be on a Mount Rushmore of wrestlers. Even managers have gotten that discussion.
But I've never seen it talked about for commentators. We've got the classics like Gorilla, Bobby Heenan, Jesse Ventura, among many others.
So who would you put on a Mount Rushmore of commentators in wrestling history?
I'd have to go with:
Jim Ross Bobby Heenan Tony Schiavone Mauro Ranallo
I enjoy all four of those men's work. Granted, a lot of Heenan's memories were made with Gorilla, and the jabs they took back and forth, but I laughed at Heenan more and he made more memories for me than Gorilla.

Mauro is awful. No way would he be anywhere near my list. I'd take Michael Cole over him any day.

One actually intellectually talks about wrestling and seems genuinely interested in the show and what’s going on where as the other one just shouts over everyone else and yaps about nonsensical stuff. Not to mention call moves by the wrong names.

Not to mention call moves by the wrong names. thats exactly why I hate Mauro. He shouts constantly. And it's always some stupid catch phrase of his. "MOMMA MIA!" "CRACKS THE BACK AND REARRANGE THE SPINE!!!!" to name a couple. NXT is harder to Watch than it was before he got there. I still watch NXT though. More closely than Raw or Smackdown actually. And BTW, me saying I'd rather have Cole doesn't mean I like Cole. I can just tolerate him a little more which is next to nothing

Heenan JR/King Cole/Tazz
Mauro Ranallo is overrated and I can't stand his constant Mama Mia catchphrase spamming.
