Commentators Thread

**Mr. C** · 10-07-2011, 11:30 PM

This is worth its own thread. These are the current commentating teams:

Pay-Per-View: Booker T, Jerry Lawler, & Michael Cole
RAW: Jerry Lawler, Jim Ross, & Michael Cole
SmackDown: Booker T, Josh Matthews, and Michael Cole

I personally find that the current commentary team on RAW is flawed. Cole is just too annoying to be seen as anything but a manager, and he�d get over well. In addition, it�s time for King to call it quits. He really has worn out his welcome. JR deserves his spot on RAW more than the other two.

As far as SmackDown goes, it�s pretty much the same as RAW, as it refers to Cole, but it gets worse when it involves Booker because Cole makes it his mission to point out every mistake Booker makes. Matthews has been around for years and is good at what he does.

The most flawed team is, of course, the PPV commentary team. They�re all misplaced in that role. Booker shouldn�t be commentating live because he does sound like an idiot sometimes. Cole, as said one time already, is just too annoying. King isn�t the guy you want doing play by play for a PPV.

Here�s what I�d love to see for commentary teams:

PPV: Jim Ross & John Bradshaw Layfield
The best of the best should be commentating. Getting JBL to fly in once a month would provide something special to what�s supposed to be different than what people get on television. There wouldn�t be anymore prattling along between three guys. You�d have two guys who know what they�re doing.

RAW: Jim Ross & Josh Matthews
This would be the A-team.

SmackDown: Booker T & Matt Striker
Booker can grow to be decent, but Striker would work as an anchor for Booker by bringing a focus onto the scene.
