For my money, the only man who came close to Gordon Solie as a professional wrestling announcer.

My earliest wrestling memories are from Memphis, and he would call the action every Saturday morning. It's terrible more people didn't know him.

I have to admit, I don't know him.
But the simple fact that he was a staple in Memphis and all the classic stuff that happened there makes him important to the history. Part of Lawler/Kaufman, etc.
A lot of wrestlers pay tribute to him.
BUt maybe most importantly, 67 years of marriage. Kudos.

He was a regional guy who never got on cable, or he'd be right up there with Solie. Tremendous talent.

This Michaels-Jericho feud has lost a bit of its steam. HBK seems to have gone back to his usual self, focusing his promo on winning the world title, not on destroying Jericho or citing all of the past pain he's caused him.
