Another commentary discussion thread

**Mr. Nerfect** · 03-16-2009, 10:46 AM

Commentary is one of the things that really fascinates me about professional wrestling. Perhaps more than it should, but I think most of us would agree that good commentating can really help solidify, or even ruin, great wrestling moments.

My question to you is this: Are you happy with the current commentary teams? Do you think the draft will bring any changes? Should it bring changes? Who should be handling commentary? And which team would you like to see handle WWE Superstars when it starts in April?

With rumours that John "Bradshaw" Layfield is again going to retire from being an active WWE competitor, I'd like to see him return to the booth. He added so much more to commentary than he ever did in the ring, in my honest opinion, and as a former WWE Champion, he brings the prestige of a man who has been the top to the table. There is the role of RAW's General Manager that he could fill, and JBL is an awesome character, but I'd like to see him again put on the headset.

Josh Mathews is so underused by the WWE, it's not funny. The man has been paying his dues for years, and there is so much that he can add to the broadcast table. He's a trained wrestler, and he can go between the play-by-play and color roles seemlessly. Mathews would be the other guy I'd insert somewhere. Probably on Superstars, because it's a shorter show, isn't too much too soon, and it just seems to fit. Would JBL & Josh Mathews make a good commentary team?
