10 Wrestlers Who Made Terrible Commentators

10. Randy Savage

Not even one of the legendary performers in WWE history is exempt from this list of shame.

Savage was a near-perfect Superstar because he could seemingly do it all: his wrestling abilities were extraordinary, his mic skills were exceptional, and he was one heck of a character. There wasn't anything he didn't excel at, until he left the ring.

After wrapping up his illustrious career as a wrestler in 1991, he traded in his multicolored boots for a headset, sitting in on commentary alongside Vince McMahon and Bobby Heenan. With two of those three being among the greatest talkers of all-time, you'd think it would have been a dream team for commentary. You'd have been wrong.

Granted, Raw commentary two decades ago was significantly better than what it's devolved into, but that doesn't necessarily mean it was good. While passable as an announcer, he simply didn't capture that same magic he created when he was holding a live microphone; there was a disconnect there.

The Macho Man eventually found his way back into the ring, and perhaps it was for the best. When he left for WCW in 1994, it wasn't to be an announcer; it was to be an in-ring competitor, which meant he may not have have enjoyed being behind the booth as much as Vince thought he did.
