I never thought I'd see the day that I'd say I'd rather hear Michael Cole over JR/King. But now, the team of Cole and Tazz have surpassed them. Once Tazz got over trying to emulate King's cheering for the heels, and let his knowledge shine, while at the same time providing balance for Cole (who has considerably cut down on a lot of the hyperbole that made his announcing unbearable in the past)...the two of them finally "clicked". Now, when I see old tapes of SmackDown, and hear the Cole/King announcing team, that really seems weird for Tazz not to be there (sorta like it's weird that Bill "Hugh Morrus" DeMott isn't on Velocity anymore; who IS that buttmunch playing color commentator on that show now?). JR's play-by-play has suffered as of late, and I think, the injection of certain current events commentary really has made them kind of suck at times. King's alright...but he can't do it all.
