Samantha Irvin is next level amazing. I wish this talked more about non-WWE announcers though, because Samantha is cut from the same mold as Melissa Santos, who was a revelation in Lucha Underground for announcing the EXACT same way. It's a style I love because they put some bass in their voice, and it matches the "big fight" feel that male announcers achieve. Lillian Garcia, even though she was a pioneer, was never able to do this. She gave entrances a girly, 'sing song' feel that I never cared for. On no planet is she better than a legend like Michael Buffer. Nevertheless, I appreciate a list that appreciates ring announcers!

The cool part too about Greg Hamiltons "One Fall" call is that he's mentioned how he was told not to give the crowd time to repeat it back, but he went against it and purposely chose to pause after "Fall" so the crowd could participate which is pretty cool. Considering how much trouble he could get into for going against WWE's wishes.
