In Defense of... Mike Adamle
Hey guys, Tyler Moliterno here, and this is the premiere of my new article I'll write from time to time, First of all, this is not Matt Loede, so please don't send him emails or messages about this article, address them to me at ihatehsm@yahoo.com. Now, this article is for the sole purpose to stick up for someone in the WWE who is being bashed by the IWC.
Are first article of In Defense is dedicated to the newest member of the ECW Announce team, Mike Adamle.
Mike Adamle has taken some heat as of late, actually, ever since he first started with the WWE back in January. It was on his first night at the Royal Rumble when he missed pronounced Jeff Hardys name as “Jeff Harvey” I feel that, at the time, Adamle was not ready for his role in the WWE. If you recall, Adamle had been hired only 2 days before the Rumble, and after those 2 days he was in the crowd at Madison Square Garden talking about something he knew very little about. If it were me, I’d be nervous too, and I would have messed up the name, as would most of you reading this. After the PPV, Mike was moved to Raw were he would, over the next few months, learn about the brand and become much more comfortable in his role, Then, like the Rumble, had a surprise waiting for him, he was told that he would replace Joey Styles as the newest member of the ECW announce team.
Before, Adamle only had to be on camera for a few minutes, saying things that were given to him by the writers, now, he would need to talk for roughly an hour straight, about a brand he knew very little about. That night was tough on Mike. He screwed up names, called people the wrong name, plus during a recap at the end of the first match, called a move “the end of the match” when it just looked like the last move of the match, which was shown seconds later, and lets not for get that he told us that Kofi Kingston was “Jamaican me crazy.” Within minutes, the IWC lit up. Everyone who was anyone made fun of Adamle’s performance. I waited with baited breath for the next ECW, to see Adamle give it another shot.
Last night was much better in terms of Adamles announcing. He barley screwed anything up, talked only when things weren’t going smoothly, and even declared to us again, in a joking manner, that Kofi was still Jamaican him crazy. Even the Miz, who joined the announce team during a match between his tag partner John Morrison and “Jimmy Wang Wang” said that it was an honor to be sitting with Adamle, before heelishly making fun of his performance, saying that “If Adamle can screw up a name, so can I.”
In the end, I’ll give it a few weeks before Adamle feels comfortable with his new position on ECW, but once he gets there, I’m sure he will do a great job. I’m already looking forward to him using his “Uno, Dose, Adios” line during an Elimination match.
If you Disagree with me, and still want to put down the defended, leave a comment on this article and I may address in the next issue of In Defense.
Until next time, I’m Tyler Moliterno, and the defense rests.
