The styles of Styles
His most telling characteristic is his voice. For the most part, he calls a match in his normal calm, collected voice. However, once exciting or shocking events occur during the match, he begins to screech and speak at a rapid pace, usually to yell "Oh, my God!," when a dangerous spot is executed successfully. In the days of ECW, when such a spot was performed by the promotion's luchadores, he would yell "Ay Dios Mio!".

CAAATFIIIIGHT!!!" once a fight breaks out between two female wrestlers.
