If you ever stayed up later than 10pm in the 1990s then you know who Don West is. This guy could sell snow to Eskimos. Some of his broadcasts were fantastic and it was real hard not to get pumped up over some of his packages. I personally have gotten bitten by the West bug a few times. My biggest purchase was This mondo set sale he had like 20 sets for $125, I went in on it with my brother. This video below is one of the funnier ones I have ever seen.
The great thing is, he’s such a professional, he never breaks stride. The cards fall down, but Don keeps screaming about Griffey rookies and Jordan college rookies. What a consummate professional, he could have sent the show to commercial while he and his cronies cleaned it up, but no, he gutted it out and instead of picking up all the cards first, he’s screaming out what he finds on the floor. It’s fantastic! Classic Don West, and his attitude of never lose your composure and ABC (always be closing).
I have listen to him when I recap TNA iMPACT! every week. Every single week. Occasionally mildly humorous, always earsplitting. PELE~!!!!! Out of nowhere!! :/
That time he wore the hot pink bandanna was television gold.
