Do you think the commentry would be better if they didn't know what was going on?

Ok, I was thinking at work, how great the commentry would be for WWE if they didn't know what was coming next.

I was watching Smackdown the day before and they recapped when JBL beat Undertaker. Michael Cole's "NO, NOT THIS WAY" seemed so forced, that it just sounded stupid. It could just be he is crap anyway, but whatever. So I got thinking today at how great it would be if they weren't clued in on what was going to happen.

For example, when Mankind fell through the cell at KOTR 98, you could tell that King/JR didn't know that the bump wasn't going to happen and thus produced one of the most famous lines in recent wrestling history. You could hear the real emotion in his voice and it really added to what just happened.

I've noticed how shit the commentry has become lately, both Raw and Smackdown and JR has always been the butt of jokes. It seems that even WWE has noticed this and has stuck Coach out there with them.

Would you think that if the guys on commentry weren't told about what was going to happen in the matches, that the overall commentry would improve?
