Move over Art Donovan (or, as Gorilla Monsoon called him at the 1994 King Of The Ring, "Art O'Donnell"). You, sir, have been usurped.

Marco Martinez was drafted in to replace Tony Schiavone for one match as the "All Elite Fleet Announcer", and he was horrible. His attempt proves once again that not just anybody can play wrestling commentator. Marco's nervy comments and quiet, lifeless voice made JR and Excalibur look even better, at least.

Never try this again, AEW.
