Posted January 9, 200619 yr comment_4282059 PWI: PWInsider is reporting that Joey Styles has been less vocal about his disappointments since joining WWE. Joey was given a "welcome to WWE" speech at RAW this week from Vince McMahon. He was basically told he had a long way to go, and needed to improve. You can probably pick up on where exactly Vince McMahon is telling Joey to do things on the headset if you listen to the RAW broadcast.
January 9, 200619 yr comment_4282076 Oh no. He must not be shilling shit he doesn't think is worth shilling at all the wrong moments, going off on side tangents and improperly calling move names enough. Joey's in the doghouse now for sure.
January 9, 200619 yr comment_4282365 I had a feeling this would happen, if for no other reason because Joey actually knows wrestling history which WWE feels is markish.
January 10, 200619 yr comment_4284209 One thing I heard Styles had to do was focus more and more on the signature spots of a wrestler. Also, that he had to talk more about storylines instead of calling moves. Anyone hear anything like that? Is that true?
January 10, 200619 yr comment_4284500 I listened to Styles tonight and I swear... could they not make this guy any more boring? I wouldn't know that was the same Joey Styles I heard on all of my ECW programming. Just another generic announcer with nothing unique about him. The three-man booth reminds me of WCW and how horrible it could be sometimes except I enjoyed the WCW guys MORE.
January 11, 200619 yr comment_4289895 From the past week's Observer... It took Joey Styles 6 hours to tape the under 2 hour RAW in Afghanistan voiceovers. He had to do many redos and Heyman told the WWE that he had to do a lot of ?producing? to make Styles as good as he was in ECW

Joey's in the doghouse now for sure.But WWE has 3 announcers in the booth why can't they have Joey focus on the match and have Coach be the puppet repeating what is fed to him via the headset and King just be the pervert as usual?
January 11, 200619 yr comment_4293780 I'm not surprised Heyman buried Styles to WWE. Styles and Heyman's friendship went sour when ECW went under. Still, I don't expect Styles to last past September at best.
January 11, 200619 yr comment_4293790 Joey Styles accidentally mentioned an exploder on RAW when Shelton did his "t-bone suplex". Styles is obviously a mark since he knows the name of the move, and should be fired immediately.

The three-man booth reminds me of WCW and how horrible it could be sometimes except I enjoyed the WCW guys MORE. At least the current team hasn't broken down into constantly interrupting each other. The other bad thing about the WCW team was when Tenay used to run out of ideas and just start telling people to shut up. Classy. I do miss Heenan from his good days but by the end he was phoning it in worse than Kevin Nash.
