Always hate to see a struggling fed cut staff to try and stay afloat.
Seriously though, I hope he lands on his feet at a well paying gig that makes him happy.

I thought he would be gone after Virk got hired. They had a chance to bring him back here but sadly that won't happen. He was really good, they should not have kept replacing him. He, Cole & JR are the only 3 men to call Wrestlemania main events as the lead announcer since the mid 90s.

Tom Phillips was good. No reason to cut him but I think he was on the ring side of a few people in high positions there fore whatever reason. I think my favorite trio recently was Saxon/Graves/Phillips, more tolerable and it was refreshing to hear someone other than Cole, who has more than overstayed his welcome

Graves used to be really really good on NXT and then he was good when he first went to Smackdown. He is overproduced now. Still decent but such a step down from before.

Man, Phillips was one of the few that I actually liked on commentary. That's dissapointing. He/Joe/Graves were the few I really enjoyed, even if Graves has become a bit neutered being stuck with Cole, whose voice I could gladly never hear again.

You could tell Tom really cared from the fan perspective.

Provided commentary for all 5 brands with a myriad of partners and always done a good job. Baffling release imo.

Wasn't a fan of Phillips at all. He had no personality and lacked enthusiasm during matches.
Him and Saxon were like clones, KO even said once that they were like the same person.

I heard he can’t wait to get home and face f….nevermind
But all kidding aside I enjoyed him more than Cole. Graves is still the best they have.

That's too bad, I always liked Tom Phillip's commentary. He sounded very natural as the play-by-play commentator on whatever show he was calling. I figure he'll be in demand of competitive promotions.

Tom was good but he and Saxton sounded identical at times on the microphone.
But Tom still would call a match better than these 'real' sports announcers Vince wants to bring in now.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact he was cheating on his fiancé, it's bad media attention for WWE and Tom's firing looks like its just a part of the cuts.
Interestingly, Dax Hardwood tweeted saying he will see him soon, maybe Tom will end up in AEW does anyone know if he would have a 90 day ban from appearing elsewhere?

I liked Tom Phillips on commentary. He was one of the few that wasn't annoying. I am so sick of Michael Cole. Mauro Ranallo was possibly even more annoying, but everyone seemed to like him for some reason.

Mauro Ranallo was possibly even more annoying, but everyone seemed to like him for some reason. Because he was the best WWF announcer since the JR & King/Heyman days
