JBL is the best color commentator in the business right now.

I have to take Anybody Thrilla's side in the Cena, Batista and Lesnar side of things. Well, maybe Nash beats Lesnar. But Kev has always been pretty self-righteous, come on. It's only recently that he's been willing to work with the little guys and help them get over. The man is very entertaining (as long as he is not wrestling), and his comedy shit is great. I doubt he hates the business, that would just be absurd, but I think his love for it now is more "I've made lots of money by doing this."

JBL is easily the best colour commentator out there today. I can think of a few guys who would give them a run for their money if allowed to. If Raven even steps down as a wrestler before he dies, he would make an amazing colour commentator. His spiel about how psychology is like masturbating? Genius. I think Kurt Angle would be great if he ever decided to stop wrestling, but still wanted to remain in the business. That one is just theoretical, though.

As for the best of all-time? He's up there, he deserves to be mentioned with the best, but Bobby Heenan, Paul Heyman and Jesse Ventura have all apparently been great. I can attest to the greatness of Heenan and Heyman. Ventura I have not heard as much of, but people seem to really love his work.

Jerry Lawler is fucking hopeless as a colour guy out there. The whole purpose of a colour commentator is to talk up the match, put over the guys having it, and telling us why they are doing things and how effective they are. These days, Lawler acts as if he has never seen a suplex before. What is the point of having him out there?
