I voted for Cole and Tazz because they're the best of the two choices. Cole is a little.... mechanical. That's the best way I can think of to describe it. I still have a little bit of a grudge against Tazz for hanging up the tights but I can understand why, (the writers were jerking him all over the place) and I do think is a pretty good color commentator.

It's been said several times already, King's commentating gimmick is real old. Every week it's... "Whoo-hoo! Puppies!" and it was funny for the first couple of years, but that was like ten years ago. I could go on and on forever about how horrible JR is... Like over doing everything to the point of it being ridiculous. And can he use those good old boy sayings anymore? "He's whipping him like a government mule!" "He's stomping a mud hole in him and walking it dry!" "He's taking him to the wood shed!" And then he can not call a move it's correct name to save his life. I remember one match with Matt Hardy where he did a Twist of Fate off of a ladder and "good old JR" called it a russian leg sweep. The current move that he's calling wrong and now all of WWE has followed him on is Shelton's finisher. Now someone can correct me if I'm wrong but a T-bone suplex underhooks one leg where as an Exploder suplex overhooks it. And in addition to that when he doesn't know the name of a move he calls it a "high impact move". I thought this guy was suppose to be the best according to WWE.

I enjoy Josh Matthews and Bill DeMott on Velocity although I don't like them really for their commentating abilities. Watching Velocity is kind of like listening to a comedy show while watching wrestling... entertaining all around.

I will agree with whoever said Mike Tenay is the best announcer in the biz but have you seen him in an interview with a heel wrestler? The facial expressions he makes are hysterical. And Don West needs to come with a mute button.
