  • Joseph Carmine Bonsignore, better known by his stage name Joey Styles, is best known as "the Voice of ECW". He was the first, the last, and the only play-by-play announcer in the wrestling business to call entire live pay-per-views solo (that is, without a color commentator to give him some breathing time and explain moves - "wasn't done before me, hasn't been done since!", in Joey's own words). Styles was well-loved by fans for his commentary skills and snarky attitude, and when ECW folded, it took a while, but he eventually signed with WWE and took up the play-by-play mic on Raw and later WWE's ECW brand. He was Kicked Upstairs in 2008 and currently serves as the Director of Media Content for WWE.com.

  • Joseph Carmine Bonsignore (July 14, 1971) better known by his ring name Joey Styles, is an American professional wrestling play-by-play commentator and former professional in the field of advertising sales. He was well known for his time in WWE as the Vice President of Digital Media Content for WWE.com. He is probably most well known for his work with Extreme Championship Wrestling. He served as the promotion's primary play-by-play commentator from 1993 until the promotion folded in 2001. He also did play-by-play commentary for Major League Wrestling from 2002 to 2004. He started working with WWE in 2005 when he called the One Night Stand pay-per-view in 2005. From 2005 to 2006, he briefly replaced Jim Ross as Monday Night RAW 's lead commentator after Ross suffered another Bell's Palsy attack. Later in 2006, he became the lead commentator for the revived ECW brand, a position he held from 2006 until his retirement from commentating in 2008.
