The competitive sports in themselves are pretty enticing to watch. However, when synced with an amazing voice behind the scenes, hyping up every single moment, it gets a thousand times more interesting.
The same is with the WWE Universe. The fights suddenly become more interesting when the announcers use the power of their voices to increase the intensity of the match.
Let us take a look at some of the greatest commentators in WWE History and rank the Top 10 Greatest WWE announcers of all time.
10. Paul Heyman
Paul Heyman is one of the most interestig characters in the WWE storyline himself. However, before becoming a full-time manager, Paul was a wrestling commentator and had made a move to WWE as an announcer. When teamed up with Jim Ross, it was a bliss to the ears to hear them talk and argue.
9. Matt Striker
One of the most underrated announcers in WWE, Matt Striker is a tecnhical know-it-all. His knowledge about the sport knows no limits and he never stopped himself to talk in that technical language. Although, he is not much seen doing the commentary he still won the Best Television Announcer in 2008.
8. Vince McMahon

6. JBL
John Bradshaw Layfield was one of the fearless commentators who never backed down on stating the truth and pointing out the wrongs. He voiced his opinion without hesitation. Former Wrestling Champion himself, his journey to becoming a billionaire from a Thug is also very inspiring.
5. Jesse Ventura
After retiring from the Wrestling scenario, Jesse went on to contribute to the cause by giving it his voice and words. His narration skills were too good that he made a career in American Politics out of it for himself.
4. Gorilla Monsoon

3. Bobby Heenan
If you are laughing while watching a match, it was probably Bobby Heenan quoting sumething funny during a matchup. Bobby was a super enthusiastic announcer who would not stop once started. And this would cast a shadow on his co-announcer everytime, whoever it be.
2. Gordon Solie
One of the naturals and an excellent narrator, Gordon Solie was a talented announcer and knew hoe to get the audience on their toes. He was the sole reason for the wrestling hype during the era. A.k.a the “Dean of Wrestling” Gordon was a voice that no one will ever forget.
1. Jim Ross
Thirteen times Best Wrestling Announcer, Jim Ross is the greatest of all time when it comes to commentating. He could turn anything into a hype and he certainly knew how to throw fuel in the fire. It would have been a disgrace to not give him the throne on this list.
