How come the Joey Styles quote from RAW was taken down, but the Paul Heyman quotes from SmackDown! and One Night Stand are allowed to stay? - AugustWinterman 0:25 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Why not make him a Wikiquote page? If any announcer deserves it...it's Gordon Solie. But Joey is a close second.Bdve 17:36, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Wrestling machine?"[edit]

Is it really fair to say that he "started" calling Kurt Angle a "wrestling machine?" Styles himself took that from a sign a fan had at One Night Stand, calling Angle the "extreme wrestling machine."

The Wrestling Machine[edit]

Guys, I think we should consider removing this quote from the trivia section. Styles is also the man who named Kurt Angle the "The Wrestling Machine,". Last night, on RAW, I watched the Chris Benoit Career Retrospective, and they flashed back to the 2004 Royal Rumble Match. During the Match, when it came down to Chris, Kurt Angle, and Big Show. Kurt angleslams Show and Chris. And after that, I heard Jim Ross call Angle, a wrestling machine. Should we change this or not. TonyO13 01:51, 20 October 2007 (UTC)TonyO13[reply]

Worked Shoot[edit]

There is a rumour from an anonymous source in WWE that the shoot on RAW against sports entertainment was real, and Styles actually DID say this stuff unscripted. He was sick of spending HOURS learning how to call a match WWE style, which he has been said to have called idiotic and fake, leading to him saying that the wrestlers are ignored, and its more about 'storytelling'. He was scripted to say something else. Apparently he had a meeting with Shane, who offered him a place on the ECW announcing team, which vince agreed to, and they made it look like a storyline to prevent damage to WWEs reputation. Who thinks this should be added to the article?

It needs a reliable source. Gavyn Sykes 14:42, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Personal Life[edit]

In his personal life section it states that he has a 2 year old Daughter (although it says citation required). However, a blog on Styles' WWE Fan Nation page states that he, infact, has a 5 year old Son. I would suggest that this needs adressing in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theincomparablebigci (talk • contribs) 13:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism[edit]

I didn't want to add any criticism that Joey Styles has had without any citations. The criticisms about the way Styles commentates. But again there neeeds to be citations. Mr. C.C. (talk) 08:19, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

XPW[edit]

I'm sure he wants to forget it, but should there be any mention about his short stint in XPW when that promotion started to run in Philadelphia?

- No mention of his entire stint with MLW as well
