It reminds me of Bruce Buffer, the voice of the Octogan. He brother is the more famous Michael Buffer, with the patented “Let’s Get Ready to Rumble” catchphrase. In trying to find his own schtick he realized he couldnt copy his brother so instead he aped Jimmy Lennon Jr’s “It’s Showtime” and went with the basic and underwhelming “It’s Time”. It never worked. Always felt derivative and poorly executed.
The Frim and the Kerk is the best possible start to the window we could’ve hoped for, addressing 2 of the 3 main areas that were an ever present worry last season. Watch out Everton, we’re coming for that trophy!!
