-Stop using the word “creamed” to describe the impact of a wrestling move. This past Thursday he used that word twice: First when Homicide got hit with the kendo stick and then right away when Booker T superkicked Hernandez. It’s such a stupid word to use because you’re cheapening the impact of the wrestling move and second you sound like a complete idiot when you say it. More than that it makes the wrestler doing the move look like an idiot too. And when Don West looks stupid, TNA looks stupid.

-Stop explaining what wrestlers are thinking and stop explaining why something does not work. West is not a wrestler so he shouldn’t be assuming why a high risk move does not work or why a wrestler got hit with a reverse elbow when he was just controlling the match. It’s so damn annoying to hear West explain something that does not need explaining let alone giving an explanation that’s usually wrong.

-But not all of this is West’s fault because he went from The Home Shopping Network to doing play-by-play for TNA. So this basically means he was awful before coming to TNA and he is still awful to this day. But this still makes Jerry & Jeff Jarrett ultimately responsible because they hired West and they decide how speaks on behalf of TNA.
