nhs67 901 Report post Posted January 7 The guy is very upbeat. I'm not sure his voice would allow him to not be. Add in that the way he talks always keeps the conversation moving and it's an absolute delight. 1 funnyfletcher reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gantry 1,606 Report post Posted January 8 Count me on #TeamSparks as well, always a treat when he gets to do the commentary for a dual/tournament instead of the sideline interviews. Not that Shane does a bad job with those, just not a fan of the "interview someone right after wrestling and half out of breath" format. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Konquest 100 Report post Posted January 8 (edited) It's pretty cool that he's reached the pinnacle of wrestling broadcasting yet he still knows all about these high school kids here in Wisconsin. He came from livestreaming duals on "Badger State Wrestling" website all the way to being THE guy for broadcasting wrestling nation (potentially world) wide. I also think it's awesome how he has a "stage name" that references how stoked he is when on the mic. It's like something that you'd see a rapper do, LOL. Also, at the beginning when Shane talks about comedian Kevin Bozeman (who was a basketball player at UW Whitewater), you need to check that guy out. My wife and I saw him at a comedy club in Florida and he had us dead. Edited January 8 by Konquest 1 Housebuye reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JasonBryant 1,659 Report post Posted January 8 I could talk to Sparks all day. Great guy to know and great guy to sit and talk wrestling with over a beverage or a vodka and sprite (that's not my choice) 1 funnyfletcher reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
