Why is he doing (garbage) color commentary when his whole thing is supposed to be play-by-play
Did he also show up with a kendo stick and smash a beercan on his face "wooo remember the 90s"

If they need a second guy, could they at least get Rob Naylor?

I've never had a problem with him but I think most of his time in ECW was reacting to offensive shit instead of introducing it

Boom. It ain't 1996 anymore, Joey.

Been quite the year for Joey, huh.
Sounds like he's not really grown out of 90s ECW.

How did this Joey Styles resurgence even come about?

To be fair, who has? Maybe RVD, although that may be a stretch since he's only ever been a pothead.
As soon as someone is axed from WWE, they're a hot commodity. Plus Joey Styles is a magnet for marks.

Joey sounded so out of touch even before he made that idiotic "joke", he just came across as part corporate shill, part edgy shithead. Then add in his unfamiliarity with the product, his lame fake laughter and forced banter with one of the best indie commentators out there who deserves better and was trying so hard in spite of Styles. Fuck, what an idiot.

Is that thing with Styles happening live? Is it over now or did he actually get fired while still live commentating?
British Monsoon

Shit, wrestling twitter was "dragging" (did I use that right? That's what the kids say, isn't it?) Styles so hard for his general commentary I wouldn't have been surprised if Gabe didn't have him back again anyways.
Show finished a little while ago - Styles made the "joke" in a segment (after mentioning how unwise it was for the promoter to give him a live mic), then commentated the rest of the show. Twitter exploded and by the end of the main Joey had got pretty quiet. Lenny signed off the show by saying "pretty eventful night, huh Joey?", to which there was no response. Then Gabe tweeted that Joey had been fired.

He actively detracted from the commentary. Lenny Leonard's solo commentary was a good part of Evolve's presentation, and Styles just felt uninformed and out of touch. Bringing him in felt like a favor to a fellow ECW alumnus who just got fired, not an actual addition to the product.

Pretty good, they've upped production a bit and the stream generally looked great - some people were having to refresh after each match though as their audio was going out of sync, only happened to me once though.

Cheers. Still thinking about getting one more streaming service. Think I'll leave it to January, will be able to see what DDT's doing then, and hopefuly flo will have fixed the sync issues by then so I can make a choice.

Khabib just cut a promo in russian to get the new york crowd to boo him as he fishes for a fight against conor
UFC fighters cutting better promos then wwf guys these days. Power of being nonscripted.

Can't they just put up a screen before the event starts that says "dude said something incredibly stupid, we fired his ass. You'll know it when you see it"!
I hope the edit just beeps or mutes what he says, rather then cutting tape.

I'll be surprised if Uncensored 95 isn't at least a D-, imbask. It's a shitshow and a half with one of the dumbest gimmick matches you'll ever see.
I can tell you that you'll get your answer tonight and that so far, you're right
