Paul Heyman Speaks Out About ECW Announcing Change
Mike Adamle is Truly Awful
OH BOY. I thought this was going to be a quiet week. No such thing, I guess.
In a decision that really threw everyone for a loop, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon and Executive Producer Kevin Dunn pulled Joey Styles from the position of ECW play-by-play announcer, and replaced him with the indescribably amateurish Mike Adamle.
The reaction was immediate. Even those who never saw Joey in the original Extreme Championship Wrestling were outraged.
Adamle's performance was so terrible, it drew an intense reaction from even casual fans who couldn't possibly care less, and who were ready to take a baseball bat and smash their television sets after listening to his butchering of the program.
I'm not being overly hard on Mike Adamle. It's the old joke about Vince Russo going to WCW. Russo's booking did such damage to the promotion, people in the industry actually believed Vince McMahon sent him to WCW to kill the company.
