10 Wrestlers Who Made Terrible Commentators
1. Booker T
As a professional wrestler and more importantly, as an entertainer, Booker T more than earned his place among the immortals in the WWE Hall of Fame when he was inducted in 2013. As an announcer, however, he was (and still is) the farthest thing from being legendary.
Booker T's return to WWE at the 2011 Royal Rumble event was met with much anticipation from fans hoping to see him back for an in-ring return. Despite lacing up his boots one last time for a few minutes in the Rumble match, his on-air role with WWE going forward wouldn't be as a wrestler but rather as an announcer.
He debuted as the newest addition to the SmackDown announce team on the Friday following the Rumble, immediately sending the message he had very little to no experience as a commentator. Fans cut him some slack at first, but when he didn't improve over time, it became clear that we were stuck with him for the long haul and that it was going to be one bumpy ride.
He hasn't added much to the Raw announce team since replacing Jerry Lawler earlier this year. You may find his classic catchphrases such as "Oh my goodness!" and "Shucky ducky, quack quack!" funny, but as an announcer, he was and still one of the worst wrestlers-turned-commentators of all-time.
