Lesser-Known Announcers
By Scott Keith on 3 September 2024
Who is one of your favorite interviewers/studio hosts (the Mean Gene role) that didn’t stick around long enough to make much of an impact? And who did you hate that rightfully disappeared pretty quickly?
For me, I always enjoyed Killer Ken Resnick but couldn’t stand Joe Fowler.
Killer Ken was around for YEARS with the AWA but was probably more of a Canadian thing, so I can see how he might come off as someone who didn't make an impact. But he did, trust me. Also for those in Canada, Billy Red Lyons is the easy answer, hands down. If he told me not to miss it, I would take his word for it.
The worst was in the 90s, with people like Fowler, Charlie Minh, and Stephanie Wiand going through the meat grinder of WWF announcing and then disappearing back to QVC or whatever they came from. Good riddance.
