Idea Summary:

* Source audio from Jesse and Gorilla's archive commentary (using additional audio from different commentators only if necessary to fill obvious gaps), JR and Jerry's commentary to be excluded unless absolutely necessary

Any objections before this gets included?





wait. Explain this to me. Are you talking about inserting audio???

Gorilla Monsoon: "Boy Jesse, look at the arms on (insert J.R. Voice) 'Batista'"?

Cause that would sound horrendous.

If you mean attaching commentators to certain wrestlers, like Monsoon to Bundy and The King to Randy Orton, then you would get some really confusing commentary teams. JR and Ventura, Monsoon and the King.....eek.

I stand firm that Jesse and Gorilla were THE BEST commentary team. My Genie in a bottle Wish is to use audio from pevious footage AND have Jesse Ventura himself lay in some new track to cover the recent roster and call names.

If that cannot be done, then I propose Having Vince McMahon, Roddy Piper do it as they were once on the commentary side of things. I wouldn't even mind adding Ted Dibiase since for awhile there they used the 3 man announce team. I know Ted wasn't an announcer, but he has a good voice, could play up the heels as a heel announcer, and was legitimately a competitor at the timeframe the game is going for. I know I know, it would be weird to see Ted call a match he is in, but they did it a couple years ago when Taz commented during a taz match on a previous SvR.

To clarify my last post, I'm proposing that Jesse and Gorilla's original archive commentary be used for all of LOWM2. My first thought was for JR and Jerry to fill in any gaps, but as you quite rightly pointed out, realistically that kind of "commentary share" is never going to work.

OK, then ditch JR and Jerry. For any imported new generation wrestlers, well...not to sound harsh, but not having namechecks for them (because Jesse & Gorilla never called any of their matches) wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

I believe there's more than enough non-wrestler specific remarks in the archives for J&G's commentary to describe any new generation wrestler's actions in the ring, without actually mentioning their name.

To me, getting J&G (THE ultimate commentary team) into LOWM2 is 100 times more important than namechecking imported stars, especially because I think we should be pushing for LESS imports and MORE legends. If people want to hear Batista's name, go buy the latest SVR title. Frankly, I don't think the LOWM franchise is for Batista fans.

If Jesse can be called in to record the new names (and I'd be surprised if THQ got him), then great. But if he's not available, I'm still very much behind J&G's archive commentary, and if a few imported stars lose their names as a result, then it's a worthwhile sacrifice.
