In my opinion, GMC was the greatest ring announcer ever.  His introductins, his voice, his expressions helped put the wrestlers in a bigger light.  He was a true legend in this great sport.

Good point, dude.  GMC--way better work than Lillian Garcia, Tony Chimmel ("Jyhaaaan Ceeeeena!").  GMC is my personal fave.

I have had the pleasure of reading GMC's book.  It is a wonderful and revealing insight into the business.  
 
The story of having George The Animal Steele chasing him out of the ring built the Animal up as more of a wild man to the fans.  Well done.

I liked Gary Michael Cappetta's ring announcing. I also liked having Michael Buffer doing the main events at the time. Howard Finkel also did a great job for WWE.

On the mic Gary Micheal Capetta was solid gold. I would say that he was THE best ring announcer of all time.

I thought he was good...I liked Dave Penzer too, and Finkel, IMO was MUCH better than most.

I thought GMC was the best ring announcer in WCW. Tony Gilliam wasn't bad either. Dave Penzer is ok, but not one of my faves. Buffer might be good when it comes to boxing, but in WCW he was bad. He would mispronounce names (Bret Clark) and make other stupid errors. Not sure if it was his own fault or the company's, but it was real annoying to me.  
 
Best WWF/WWE ring announcer is hands down Howard Finkel. Tony Chimmel just flat out sucks. To me, his voice is like listening to fingernails on a chalkboard.

The best are
 
1. GMC
2. Fink
 
 
No Buffer he was horrible

I truly agree with you! GMP was the greatest, he announced with more spark than Howard Finkel. Fink was just McMahon's boy, but he had nothing on GMP.
