I may be in the minority but I absolutely loved him as as a commentator in WCW. He made the shows more entertaining and he was funny as hell. One of the many reasons why I loved WCW over WWF back when I watched.

I'm interested to see how the careers of Dustin and Cody will be from this point forward.
