How Did Wrestling Commentary Change Over the Years?
Commentary has changed dramatically from the territory days through WWE's modern era. What made classic wrestling commentators so memorable? How important were distinctive voices, storytelling, humor, and explaining what was happening in the ring compared with the commentary style used today?

Re: How Did Wrestling Commentary Change Over the Years?
wrestling commentary has changed from mainly explaining the action to becoming a bigger part of the entertainment. Older commentary often focused on building characters, explaining rivalries, and making matches feel important. Today, commentators also help advance storylines, promote upcoming events, and react to major moments.
