I really don't like the current RAW commentary style, as a whole it sounds forced as both members are working fake personalities.
Cole comes off as trying way too hard to be a heel commentator, and King has been a boring phony in his face role for quite some time.
As it is now they just chit-chat about current WWE events and fill in the gaps by reciting the in ring action as though they are reading directly off a script.
Heel Lawler and JR have a chemistry that helps bring the matches to life, they actually invest some emotion and natural charisma into their commentary - a little bit of that came through on Monday during JR's commentating and when King told Cole to "Shut the Hell up."
Come to think of it, the only time I could stand Cole as a commentator is when he was paired with JBL, and that's pretty much due to JBL constantly berating him to keep the commentary exciting. Personally I think Cole worked best when the Rock was using him to display his new shirt in backstage interviews.
The only bad part about having JR back the past Monday is that now I have to go back to just Michael Cole and King. :/
