I've always wanted to see a Jim Ross/Matt Striker duo. Striker can get pretty fired up himself sometimes, but their passion would bounce off each other well. Striker would be the smart-ass heel announcer and JR would be the passionate babyface. It'd be the closest thing you could get to a classic JR/King combo (even considering modern JR/King).

As for SmackDown! -- I think Josh Mathews has well and truly earned his place. Booker T needs more time to develop, really. I like the idea of them having Cole to bounce off, though. It'd be either him or Striker, in my book -- antagonising Booker T as Mathews tried to keep things on track.

RAW Superstars could see Scott Stanford and Matt Striker pair up. Striker doing as much commentating is a good thing, to me. Josh Mathews & William Regal could handle SmackDown! Superstars and NXT could see a special tandem of Jim Ross & William Regal (RAW's play-by-play dude and a SmackDown! color guy).

The PPV formula seems to be to take the RAW team, and add the SmackDown! color guy. So you'd have Jim Ross, Matt Striker & Booker T -- which could be the most entertaining team ever, or one that really needs some refining. You could always add Josh Mathews in there, and have the RAW guys call RAW matches and the SmackDown! guys call SmackDown! matches.

Oh, and Cole only does SmackDown! because I'd make him a heel manager on RAW.
