And yes, Jim Ross has found his spot on SmackDown!. It's more the wrestling show, which JR actually loves, and can add a lot to. I think we're seeing a more natural and "real" JR on SmackDown!, which is an upgrade from his "I'm saying this because it's the storyline" JR on RAW.

Working with Todd Grisham will do both men good. The Grish is always improving, and working with a veteran like JR will only make him better. JR taking on his "hybrid" role has allowed him to get a fresher persona, though. He talks more about how talented a guy like Chris Jericho or Edge is more than just screaming how heinous their actions are. He can be a bit more sly, and take shots at the play-by-play stooge, too. "Who fed you that line, Todd?"

I remember thinking that either Todd or JR would have to become a bit more cynical to make their team work, but they've seemingly hit a really good balance really quickly.
