Seemed like a nice enough guy, he just didn’t get better. Sadly I get it.

Awful commentator. Sucks they couldn’t find something else for him. Usually they just move people around to different positions

You just can't throw people in at the deep end on commentary like that to do play by play so stop doing it. It's not his fault WWE it's yours. You set him up to fail.

I hated him from the moment he called Austin Theory, Austin Teary....I realized it was his accent but Jesus christ...Im from the south and if I know if a word isn't suppose to sound how I say it....I don't say it that way.

That’s nobody’s fault but his own |

His accent didn't help him at all either unfortunately.
I know that's not his fault, but his word pronunciation at times for some words was pretty bad.
He was more suited as the backstage commentator, they should have kept him in that role.

Sucks to see anyone lose their job, but let's be honest, I think we all seen this coming sooner than later.

You are reaching on this one, Adamle had the brain of a 90 year old at that point and his memory was mush. Comparing the two is weird. Finding good announcers in this business is just tough. Look at all the terrible announcing on the indies. |

Wrestling is much harder to call without prior knowledge. |

Tolerable as the pre show guy but even then nothing to write home about.

I thought he was solid as a backstage interviewer, but didn't bring much to the table on commentary. I think a two-person team on all shows works well. Maybe three for PLEs for brand representation.
