Personally, I didn't like the King heel thing, because all he does is say "I didn't see anything" or have someone else say "I saw it right there, King" to him because he denies that someone did something that everyone else (even other heel commentators like JBL) would see. The way he plays it is annoying to me, and the way JR plays off of it is even worse. I guess I'm in the minority here.

But here's the thing: If the rumors are STILL true that JR will retire sometime this year, then definitly the King has to go too, because he seems to make anyone else besides JR look like a retard (not in a kayfabe way, but as in a "I don't want to see you liked as a good commentator in the WWE and I'll go out of kayfabe to DO it" way). So, assuming that they DO that (and I doubt they would, but one can dream), then I would say do whatever you can to get Mark Madden back. As much as some people may have HATED him, I didn't find him all that bad in WCW. And he's looking, so he might be a good fit in the WWE and RAW.

Now, I'm STILL a big proponent to see WWE give Tony Schivoni whatever the fuck it takes for him to come back (jewels, gold-plated hummers, whatever), because seeing as how RAW is still Vince's "baby", and Schivoni wanted to give Nitro a "big show feel" (in whatever way), the marrage would actually pay off. Plus, you can get him into a possible angle about his Mick Foley becoming champ comment, where the heel Vince (whenever he reveals himself as undead) calls Schivoni on it, and when Tony says he was only doing his job, Vince retaliates by trying to get one of his hired cronies to go against him in a match and then have some wrestler save him and start a feud based on that comment (maybe Mick Foley himself, saying that Tony's comment was the BEST thing he ever got because of the immediate effect it had). I wouldn't bring that other guy back they had during the 2000 year in WCW because that guy sounded like he needed some throat operations.

So yeah, I would be happy with a Schivoni/Madden reunion sometime down the road on RAW. Now, if the Larry Zybisco thing is true, and assuming JBL would like to return to the ring, it could end up with either a Schivoni/Madden and a Cole/Zybisco thing, or have the ORIGINAL hour one Nitro crew on RAW (Schivoni/Zybisco) and Madden/Cole on SmackDown (why I would want to hear a Madden/Cole team, I'll never know. I'm just trying to predict things here).
