The When Worlds Collide PPV was such a great show and a lot of that was because of Mike. I honestly think him and Don West are criminally underrated.

Brian made a solid point about Tenay being able to expertly explain different styles of wrestling to fans who may not have been as knowledgeable of those styles.

[@donkiddick966]

Mike rates up there with my favourites of all time. Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan and Mike were the main commentators when i first started watching wrestling, and have fond memories of them calling nitro. I watched TNA for the first time, and was thrilled he was announcing. It bought back nice memories when WCW was hot, but after nostalgia wore off i still enjoyed the program when he announced.

[@russellcampbell3500]

I miss brain so much. As a child in the 80s he was every where wrestling MTV much music Saturday morning cartoons, the brain was and always will be a legend.

[@Paradise4-28]

Gorilla especially and even Jesse was great, among other wrestlers who were behind the mic at various times. Even McMahon was decent at the time in my opinion~

[@influencerpodcasts]

I liked him best in WCW. I loved Tony & Heenan on their own. But throw Mike in and it's the perfect combo. It was essentially still a 2 man booth with Heenan & Tony carrying it. But Tenay would chime in at perfect times with background info or fun facts that added context, which really enhanced the matches. Their roles were well-defined and they had a perfect rhythm.

[@Johnny_Thunder]

such a contrast to the clowns we have to listen to now on WWE. 3 corporate hacks with zero talent or charisma.

Yes. That worked really well.

Tenay is great, my favourite call was when he was pissed off with Roode hitting Storm with the beer bottle to win the tna title. "That's a friend??? BULLSHIT!!!!!"

[@TheFlock83]

I think it was the Raven vs Shane Douglas hair match in TNA when Vampiro helped cost Raven the match and Mike loses it. Saying how terrible it was ending with “I’ve lost my objectivity and I don’t give a damn!!!!” He really sounded pissed at the situation

[@THERobertL2000]

"That's how you treat a brother? BULLSH*T!" I remember that too!

[@wallyrosario654]

Mike Tenay and Don West are one of my favorite commentary teams of all time. They were passionate and loved watching TNA. It made me feel proud of being a fan during the 2000s because it seems like they actually cared. Don West had so much goddamn energy and Tenay had all the knowledge and play by play down. It was a perfect combination, we need more 2 man booths with these kinda guys these days. I’m sick of the 3 man or 4 man or 15 man booths every week on wrestling today.

[@Ramekink]

Those 2 plus the knockouts, Styles and Joe were what made TNA watchable

[@lee.valley]

he knew how to get across to fans in a layman terms way, his interactions whilst interviewing wrestlers was so believable, he drew you in.

[@heisensaul5538]

I didnt watch much of his TNA run, but Tenay was great during his time in WCW.

[@JMFSpike]

I didn't watch TNA either, and I totally agree that he was exceptionally good in WCW. I think that he'll eventually end up going down as one of the best commentators in wrestling history, but perhaps not enough time has passed since his retirement for that to happen quite yet.

[@jaimeperez8486]

Same here, I did not see TNA with Tenay. His WCW run was great. A true fan of all aspects of pro wrestling.

[@orangemaniabrother2232]

I actually preferred him in TNA, might be cos his partner Don West more than anything but that worked for me that combo

[@dkupke]

Bobby Heenan said he loved working with Tenay. He hated Schiavone because he couldn’t play “the weasel” off him. With Gorilla, Heenan would always cower off after agitating him because Gorilla was an ex wrestler. He just couldn’t replicate that with Schiavone. But with Tenay he found a foil who would put The Weasel in his play by outsmarting him with wordplay.

Mike Tenay, though the play-by-play guy in TNA, felt like the color commentator of a sports game. He knew his stuff and did a great job at explaining things. And speaking of Tenay, Excalibur comes across to me like a wannabe Mike Tenay. He can’t hold a candle to the professor. One of wrestling’s all time greats.

[@Ramblebar]

Mike Tenay was a bit dry as a commentator but his knowledge of pro wrestling was impeccable and you got the notion very quickly that he had a deep and abiding passion for the sport and that was endeared him to alot of wrestling fans and it is mind boggling that he does not have a job with one of the major companies today !!!

[@tw475]

three man teams mostly suck. but Mike Tenay and Don West would have been a little better with Jeremy Borash. JB just the straight babyface announcer, the play by play guy with Tenay and Don West as the excited guy selling the big highspots.

[@IWRInteractive]

Mike Tenay will have nothing to do with wrestling. Or, at least, not with Impact Wrestling. I interviewed him in 2003 and tried to use the same contact for a media interview a few years ago when Impact brought Don West back for their 15th anniversary show. Tenay denied Impact's requests to bring him back. I got the feeling that his departure wasn't something he was keen on and Josh Mathews more or less took all of his responsibilities. He never replied to any of my requests and when I spoke to a person who was friends with him, I was basically told he wanted nothing to do with wrestling especially nothing to do with Impact... He had the great voice as the expert - A little nerdy but not to the degree of say a Seth Rollins who sounds, even if he doesn't look, like the kind of guy you'd stick on a locker in the locker room. Great knowledge and by all accounts, a genuinely nice guy. Tony Schiavone actually opted not to go to Impact in 2003 because their back and forth written by Shit Stain caused friction between the two legitimately.

[@tw475]

it did seem like he abruptly just left Impact. I got the feeling Taz knew something too. he quit tna right after Mike Tenay was gone.

[@d.52555]

I’d say he should just continue enjoying retirement

Tenay was known as 'The Professor' because of his extensive knowledge of wrestling and was a walking encyclopedia of facts, history, moves and basically everything related to wrestling. Along with Jim Ross, Gordon Solie and Lance Russell, Mike Tenay is one of the greatest wrestling announcers of all time.

[@Cobralalalala]

I remember as a kid sitting out in the car because it was the only radio we had that picked up Tenay's radio show. He was more knowledgeable and passionate than almost anyone you got to hear back then. I also agree about the quality of When Worlds Collide and how much he played into that. Because of his explanations I became a fan of people I'd never seen before and in some cases never saw again. Still among my favorite shows.

[@deevl1760]

16:43 I lost it here 🤣🤣🤣

[@keithyw]

Mike had a bit of a mousey voice and presence for me but his knowledge of wrestling was pretty deep. I was listening to some old broadcasts with him in it and somethings just stood out. First, he wasn't a play-by-play person, which was good because I don't think that was his specialty. Instead, he added more context to the match by providing the background on wrestlers, matches, key moves which made what people did inside the ring seem more important (up until the other announcers started babbling about the NWO or Hogan). Second, the announcing quality back then was far better than the crap that goes on in AEW. Excalibur's problem is that he interrupts constantly. Whether Jim Ross or Tony Schiavone is attempting to formulate an idea, Excalibur annoyingly has to shout out whatever moves are going on rather than allowing the announcers to finish their thought. I find that unprofessional, rude and makes him look 2nd rate. Where Tenay would provide fairly good educated information in matches to help get the wrestlers over, it feels like Excalibur has the desperate need to get himself over by showing people his knowledge of moves. And I've said over and over again, the names of moves are irrelevant if there's no context. Tenay would explain what a La Magistrial cradle was, or other moves that were major, sometimes talk about who might have used it before, etc. But Excalibur wants to sound smart to the audience which is why he doesn't use the translated names. It comes off ridiculous to me because even if I know what the move actually means, I realize that there's a lot of people who don't know Japanese and will just be like WTF when he shouts it out. Part of that problem is that I think Tony Khan might've believed Nitro (WCW's) problem during 97-on was the lack of attention to matches once the NWO topic started to dominate. He's partly right in that a good match might be ignored in favor of the more important topic and at times the announcers would just go off the deep end on that. But here, the play-by-play forcibly hurts the program as a whole because the moves being called aren't as significant compared to the story that needs to be explained about the match in the ring as well as turning each part of the show into isolated segments.
