Just no Adamle and Coach together. I don't dislike Coachman, it's just he's not knowledgeable enough (from what I've seen) to be a really good play-by-play guy, and he doesn't have the character to be an effective colour commentary guy. I wanted to say "ring experience" to be a great colour man, but Paul Heyman was never a wrestler, and he was fantastic.

I don't know, it just seems like the WWE are interested in embarrassing Coach more than using him. Why keep him around if you need to cut costs? I like him well enough, and I think a lot of the SmackDown! announce team's problems came from Coachman trying too hard to follow the WWE's rules for commentary, instead of going with his gut (plus he was overambitious with the role, and was trying to broaden his character to more unbiased face areas, which I admired, but was a massive risk that didn't pay off).
