To go out on a limb, Corey Graves is the most entertaining broadcaster in the WWE right now.

Despite being officially retired for less than a year, Graves has made remarkable ground in his career as a commentator and analyst. Whilst others spew company-fed lines and throw out overplayed, bland clichés, Graves is on his way to becoming a fantastic heel commentator who does his job masterfully; as well as championing the bad guys, he also isn’t afraid to put over and give props to a babyface competitor when warranted.

It’s clear to see that Graves has clearly used Jesse Ventura, as well as Bobby Heenan, as inspiration in his work, and Ventura is one of the greatest broadcasters that the wrestling business has ever seen. The Body was another whose in-ring career was sadly cut short, but he then became known to a whole new generation for his excellent, entertaining and outright humourous commentary.

Whilst it’s a huge shame that Corey Graves’ in-ring career ended prematurely, his on-screen presence is still a blessing to any show that he’s a part of.
