Since J.R won't be at Bragging Rights
 

Who will take over the Smackdown! part of the show? Can we expect the return of Joey Styles or the debut of Jack Korpela?

They will go with the three-man squad of Cole, King and Grisham and millions will watch the event on mute.

Or we could all mass e-mail WWE and tell them we'd much rather have the duo of Striker/Matthews call the entire PPV rather than listen to those 3?

No not millions, about 170,000.

But you're right about the team.

They need JBL.

John Bradshaw Layfield

Fuck it. I'll do it.

If you do it, I'll be your play-by-play guy Screech.

Just know that I'm going to make fun of you all night and rip you a new one when you make a mistake.

And I'll be promoting my book, Behind the Bell, the entire time.

Am I still under contract?

That's fine Screech. I'll promote Starcraft: Ghost..... oh wait.

I would like King and Matt Striker for Smackdown. King is already doing RAW, and besides JR and Striker he is the only other commentator I really like, though Josh Matthews isn't bad.

You could be brought back for a one-night appearance, Mr. General Manager.

An Adamle/Heyman/Bischoff announce team?? Nahhh it'd never happen.

Not with that attitude, Ermaximus

I know. :( It'd be fun though. Three former GM's of Raw/Smackdown calling a PPV together.

does this really need it's own thread? who the hell cares who does the announcing??

I'd love some moron doing the commentary. Like Mike Tyson.

I do. The commentary is a big part of the show for me.

clearly you're a masochist.

The first person to come to mind to call a match at a PPV called Bragging Rights.

Clearly you misunderstood me, as I didn't say I liked all of the guys they have. I just said it makes a difference to me who is at the table during matches.

Guru Dave, Ermaximus and I should be added to the poll for consideration.

I assume he was referring to me. (a little chat we had in another thread)

Won't matter much to me since I won't get to hear the commentary as I'll be there in person, but I voted with my heart for Joey Styles.

They need to bring back COMMENTARY GOD... JBL! JBL! JBL!

on tew 05 i've been using dusty rhodes, ahmed johnson, and jushin thunder lyger.

He punched the purple out of his hair.

Translator for Lyger and subtitles for Dusty and Ahmed.

I have a feeling it will be a three-man team. If it were up to me, Matt Striker would get the nod, however. He'd bring a certain level of detached emotion to things, as he has no personal stake in SmackDown! winning; he's just doing his job and representing them during commentary. He works well with Grisham, and he technically made his first WWE appearance on SmackDown!.

If they do go for someone outside the company -- JBL would be a very good choice. He actually used to promote SmackDown! as the A-show (because he was on it), and he was brilliant in the booth. I would not complain if he did commentary until JR was mended. The same could be said for Paul Heyman -- former SD! General Manager.

One guy that no one has brought up, is Michael Hayes himself. I was never a big fan of his on commentary, but I never really watched Metal religiously, or anything. Hayes would know what he wants to achieve with the SmackDown! brand better than anybody, so he could be a sleeper pick. He'd also seem like a "temp," which makes it easier to replace him when JR is ready to return. I'd much rather see Hayes start on SmackDown!, though, and not on PPV.

I just hope they don't get Vickie Guerrero to do it, or anything.
