My five (in no particular order)

1. David Crockett
2. Johnny Weaver
3. Lee Marshall
4. Dick Graham
5.  Antonino Rocca


Rocca would always say "can I take my shoes off General?"

I still chuckle to this day from the Thesz book when Rocca was presented a small transistor radio as a gift from an Orphans home as their hero. One of the heels destroyed the radio and then in the dressing room Rocca is crying a river believing that it was a group of Orphans who saved their pennies to give Rocca this gift of appreciation.

Rocca is a good choice.  His accent was so thick I couldn't even understand what he was saying.

I'm more than a little surprised that USWA's Corey Machlin hasn't been mentioned yet. He was David Crockett levels of bad.

Agreed.  At least to me, his commentating to me sounded like part heavy accent, part cognac.

There were probably commentators who offered more insipid if not clueless analysis, but with Rocca, you could not even tell, because a viewer spent so much energy trying to figure out what he was trying to say.
