Don West called the show like a fan like how we all act in attendance or at home. RIP Don West, you never be forgotten

[@kmonty31]

I had a sit down with Don West about a year ago for a career paper in Wenatchee and he said this was one of his favorite moments in TNA while working there. He said he and Mike went over this before the show and thought it was gold and couldn't wait for it to happen. Don is a class act and really cool guy.

He actually told u what the wrestling moves were instead of saying "what a maneuver" lol.

[@bubbafontleroy]

I’ll always have a soft spot for Don West. His passion was boundless, severely underrated commentator who doesn’t get anywhere close to the recognition he should, he was feckin’ daycent. He would get so hyped and pumped you couldn’t help but get caught up in it. He could probably commentate on drying paint and make it edge of your seat stuff 🤣

Don West and Mike Tenay are perhaps the most underrated announce team in wrestling history. Impact Wrestling hasn't been the same since they left. R.I.P. Don

[@tthomaselli2]

As cliché as the "Color commentator turns heel & leaves the color commentary table" deal is & as much of a rip-off/copy this was when Joey Styles turned heel & left the 'WWE RAW' color commentary team in mid-2006, I can see why people didn't really buy into this. Regardless of all of that, I still give Don West "Kudos!" for going out there & putting on as best a performance as possible. I remember watching this episode of 'TNA Impact' as if it were literally yesterday & although TNA wasn't putting out the best story-lines/etc. in early-2009, you could still find something else to look at & watch. R.I.P., Don West.

[@trevorbarnhill9148]

Notice that even though TNA was setting up Don West's heel turn, the fans still cheered after he finished tearing Mike Tenay a new one. And the look on Mike's face was priceless. He sold it great.
