10 Wrestlers Who Made Terrible Commentators
2. Ernest Miller
If you can't recall Ernest "The Cat" Miller's commentary tenure, it was more of a "blink and you missed it" kind of thing, thankfully.
In the absence of Tazz at the November 26, 2002 SmackDown tapings, WWE raced to find a replacement, ultimately settling on Miller. He had recently returned to the company a mere month earlier and management wanted to experiment with him on the headset; however, they didn't know what they were getting themselves into.
As agile as he was, "The Cat" was never known for his talking ability, and he failed miserably. He had experience as an announcer in WCW, but even then he wasn't any good. Obviously, WWE didn't tune in to the final days of Nitro (much like most fans) to hear this for themselves.
On this fateful Thanksgiving night, he showed he wasn't up-to-date on the product, he didn't have a clue what he was talking about, and he had little to no chemistry with Michael Cole. Never before had fans longed for Tazz on commentary. In so many words, it was a disaster; yet, WWE made him the official color commentator of Velocity for a time in 2003 before releasing him from his contract the following year.
