Old Matches - How important is commentary?

[JusticeNJ]

I know beggars can't be choosers, but the score is 10000000% the most important thing. If you can do an overlay of that, that's all that matters. Commentary doesn't matter nearly as much. If Mosconi came back from the dead to play Efren, I don't think I'd watch it if it had no continuous score.

Agreed, keeping track of the score is the most important part of the videos. I get annoyed when the score ticker isn't on the screen for a few mins in modern matches.

Grady Matthews made many a commentator look like they didn't have a clue. It was spooky how he could figure out what was going to happen next shot. One of the best all time.

My favorite matches to watch are any matches with Buddy Hall playing and Grady Matthews announcing.

With these really old matches, that had been posted lately, the fact the footage does exist in the first place. is amazing. And very watchable, i don't think the Commentary, is as important, when it comes these, old tapes.
