Not being JR is perhaps King's best feature.

I'd see King fired and someone else put in his place. As I've noted in other threads, nobody's really going to shine under the old guard. King and Ross are both notorious for burying other commentary, and while King seems to have mellowed with Cole, it's still there.

It might (or might not) suck short term, but it's the only real solution long term.

Most commentators will not meet the "JR" criteria or even the JR "style." The former is sort of "no shit," the latter is because WWE doesn't want that style of commentary anymore. That's why Ross has been phased out and why most of the new guys do a more straight up style.

Though thee are a lot of JR fetishists remaining, so I wouldn't be surprised.
