John Matthews should definately be lead announcer on either Raw or Smackdown...

[jindrak]

The guy is tremendous.

I never could stand Michael Cole, and Jim Ross has just been 'meh' since his return.

Josh Matthews + JBL= :drool:

[Xero]

He'll probably be the next Michael Cole.

I thought Josh Matthews was dead.

Tim White. :shifty:

[NeanderCarl]

He sucks. And Lunchtime Suicide sucked too.

[NeanderCarl]

That's my intelligent contribution for the day.

[DAMN iNATOR]

He'll probably be the next Michael Cole.

Well, whatever happens, one thing's for sure...Matthews and Michael "don't call me coleslaw" Cole are both terrible at commentary/interviews.

Josh Mathews isn't quite as good as Joey Styles, in my opinion (the real Joey Styles), but he's the next best thing. Here are the commentary teams I'd like to see:

Joey Styles & JBL
Michael Cole & Tazz
Josh Mathews & Jerry Lawler
Todd Grisham & Brad Armstrong

Styles and Layfield should be the focused duo of the WWE. Styles is kind of left-wing and used to work for ECW, Layfield is your stereotypical redneck WWE veteran who once worked the territories. They contrast well, and both guys know how to talk well.

Michael Cole and Tazz should work ECW. For a little while, Cole and Tazz had a cult following. That's pretty ECW-ish. Cole is constricted by the WWE-style, and although that won't likely change, he brought out the best in Tazz. Give them an hour live each week, and you have potential gold.

I doubt the WWE will scrap Jerry Lawler, so I'm just going to suggest they stick him with a guy who can handle his own in there with Lawler. Mathews is good at playing a heel commentator without actually going overboard with it. I can see him developing good chemistry with Lawler. Give them SmackDown! so they can edit some parts and maybe have them re-do certain matches to get it perfect.

Todd Grisham and Brad Armstrong would just be two guys calling Heat. Both are apparently funny, and I can see them becomming kind of a cult-favourite commentary team if the WWE just lets them be themselves. Grisham is improving by leaps and bounds, he's got a good voice, and he sounds like he wants to improve. Armstrong could help him, as he's well versed in the business.

You know who would make a good 3-man commentary team? Jim Ross, Hulk Hogan and Jesse Ventura.

This thread has been around for a few days but I just noticed that is says "John" instead of Josh in the title. :wavesad:

Ha, same here.

[Crippla]

I wouldn't care if they replaced Cole with him. They're about the same to me.

[Testicle]

Josh is less gay.

[NeanderCarl]

Josh is openly gay though.

[NeanderCarl]

Or I MIGHT have made that up, being a little drunk and all.

If Josh is openly gay then that's not a bad looking guy.
