I don't know exactly where a lot of these guys are based, but at New England shows, I've enjoyed the heck out of Joey Eastman, Antonio Thomas, Brian Reese, and Bobby Fish. I love Lexxus' accent.

There's a few I enjoy even when I'm sitting in the back...

Yeah Gino is entertaining, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned Sean Gorman! As I saw this past weekend, Chris Blackheart is pretty good on the mic as well. Then of course there's Mav, Bob Evans another fav of mine, Brian Cairo.

Peace,
Dave

No surprise there..hehe. But, Brian is very good, just a lot younger, and will probably only get better too.

There are a decent number of guys in New England who are good on the mic. Everyone mentioned so far is pretty good.

One person who might get overlooked because he is so new to wrestling is Tony Spencer.

This kid gets it. At the last FRW show in Claremont, I thought that some of the people were going to actually jump in the ring and murder him. Granted, he probably shouldn't have pushed as hard, but it was a crazy thing to see. Very similar to the kind of reaction you would have seen 30+ years ago from fans.

Ebony Blade was awesome on so many levels. One of my all time faves.

Great choice! I totally agree. But I'd have to say I really like Brian Anthony too. Honestly, he reminds me of John Morrison, but way better on the mic.

Marshall McNeil.

He's the best manager in New England if not the country right now.

Morrison is a LOT better on the mic than he used to be. Brian has that kinda style that makes you just wanna kick his face in, when he talks.
