I also wouldn't mind it if they just got rid of Jerry Lawler, and replaced him with someone else. It'd be fun seeing JR work with a new colour man (his work with Paul Heyman and Tazz is often praised), and JR actually offers something to the commentary team.

Lawler could be used on Heat, to kind of lend credibility down there. I think both Todd Grisham and Jonathan Coachman are underrated, but together they don't really create the best results. Try sticking Jerry Lawler with Todd Grisham. The King working with a younger guy could bring out the old cynic in him, which was the quality that made Lawler great in the first place. There is more call for a heel presence of Heat, as there isn't too much character development, and the wrestling is self-contained. Lawler would be much better in that environment, in my opinion. Maybe whip him out for PPVs, if he develops a better personality.

So yeah, Jim Ross and Josh Mathews would be an acceptable pairing. Mathews would be fantastic as The King's replacement. He could so easily pull off the young guy prodding the veteran. He could mock Jerry Lawler's style, put it over as a new dawn for colour commentary, and make references to what he and his new play-by-play partner are going to do, when Jim Ross inevitably gets the can. I just see him as an obnoxious young fuck, that actually knows what he is doing.

On ECW, I think Joey Styles could be traded for Michael Cole. Seriously, I think that would be awesome. Have Heyman justify it by saying he wants the new ECW to survive, so he wants a sports entertainment commentary team. Michael Cole and Tazz have great chemistry, and even though their role would be as a sports entertainment unit, they do have that humour and wit that can help them capture the spirit of ECW.

Joey Styles and JBL would just be the best team in the business. Styles and Layfield would just have better chemistry than the current ECW pairing of Styles and Tazz. Michael Cole is too goody-good, and it feels like it lets the team down. Joey Styles has the Democratic feel to him, and JBL has the Republican edge going. It'd just be so awesome to see. They have the tension between them, too. JBL hates ECW, Styles prefers to the new to the traditional.

Styles would fit in so much better on SmackDown!. He can call longer wrestling matches. They could actually let him call matches there, because they actually seem to focus on the wrestling. Styles is also less of a babyface-bias commentary, and more impartial to things. Seeing him just passively say "You're a jackass" to JBL's heel rants would be classic.

There's also the fact that they're the best play-by-play and best colour guys in the business, respectively.

So yeah, if I had my way:

RAW:
RAW: Jim Ross (I doubt they will get rid of him, again, plus he could work with a better partner) and Josh Mathews

Heat: Todd Grisham and Jerry Lawler

PPV: Jim Ross, Josh Mathews and maybe Jerry Lawler or Eric Bischoff (this could allow JR to rest, and save up for the main events, Mathews could handle play-by-play well)

SmackDown!:
SmackDown!: Joey Styles and John Bradshaw Layfield

PPV: Joey Styles and John Bradshaw Layfield

ECW:
ECW: Michael Cole and Tazz

PPV: Michael Cole, Tazz and maybe Paul Heyman (It would be sweet to have Heyman on hand, so they can just temporarily leave the booth, get a mic, and make an impromptu match. Plus Heyman is awesome.)

Interpromotional PPV:
Team 1: Jim Ross, Tazz and Joey Styles

Team 2: Josh Mathews, Michael Cole and John Bradshaw Layfield

I think having two seperate teams call WrestleMania, and just alternate between them, with one guy from each brand sitting in on each match would be much more efficient. It allows the WWE to monitor the commentators' chemistry with other guys, to see how they mesh with the other brands, and it allows fans to connect with their personalities a bit more thoroughly. Jim Ross and Tazz work well, and Joey Styles can work both play-by-play and colour, so he'd make a good third man, backing up either guy. Michael Cole and JBL are familiar to each other, and Josh Mathews wouldn't be out of place. Much like Joey Styles, he can work either play-by-play or colour, so he could raise the quality of the team quite a bit.

Royal Rumble Match:
RAW: Jim Ross and Josh Mathews
SmackDown!: John Bradshaw Layfield and Joey Styles

I know there are no ECW commentators here, but I think it works in this scenario. Styles and Tazz were left off the Survivor Series PPV, so I think the ECW commentators could be left off the RR PPV. Have the usual interpromotional teams to begin with, but when it comes to this match, take RAW's guys, SmackDown!'s guys, and just stick them in there.

The Royal Rumble Match is not a conventional match, so it is best to just get your most interesting commentators, and stick them in there. Jim Ross is great when it comes to big matches. Josh Mathews is an amazing commentator, as is Joey Styles. They know how to work any match, and are the future of WWE broadcasting. JBL is just damn entertaining, and if he doesn't call the match, there is something wrong with the WWE. Maybe just have a random draw to decide which brand's team gets to call the match? Have SmackDown! win, and that way the booth is less crowded?

Jim Ross and JBL would be acceptable, my only concern is that it would be redneck central. If Josh Mathews is more of a babyface commentator, assuming Eric Bischoff is brought in to replace Jerry Lawler, and JM replaces JR, I can see a Mathews/Layfield team working brilliantly.
