"The King" to be released???
Credit: PWTorch.com Newsletter
With the recent addition of The Coach to the RAW broadcast team, some speculation is taking place within WWE that Jerry Lawler could be moved off the team or even released by WWE possibly. The overwhelming opinion of Lawler in WWE is that he is seen as overpaid of what is asked of him and many feel The Coach can fill his shoes for a much smaller salary. It should be noted that Coach is said to be more popular and social with key members of the WWE production staff than Lawler is at this point. |

Lawler is a good guy and very smart about the business.
He should at least be moved to a road agent position. |

How about they just get some good announcers period. Not good by comparison, but actually good.
There's an idea... |

The Coach, even though lawler can be overbearingly annoying at times with his commentary, especially when women are on screen, is no better. I actually cant stand the Coach.
Although if he'd replace Cole, I'd be fine with that. |

HEre's a thought: When someone is involved with Tuff ENough, they generally get airtime.
The Diva Search, maybe it gets similar treatment. Maybe Coach is out there for the timebeaing BECAUSE of the Diva Searc? |

But I have to agree...the heel turn of the Coach has made him go from somewhat entertaining to totally annoying. And the sooner he's off my TV...the better. |

I like the Coach now that he's heel. He went from being a funny goofball to being a funny heel goofball. He's not that bad. However, there definitely needs to be a major change as far as commentating team goes. I'd send JR out first, then Lawler.

Forget Coach. Bring in Bill DeMott. It's been too long since I've seen DeMott's Turning Point.

Those are both awful options, but I think I'd opt for Coach over Lawler. Really, all the WWE announcers should be replaced by people that don't suck, though Smackdown's team is much better than Raw's, and I don't really mind them.

Replace Lawler with Heyman, you can't get much better than that right now without going outside of the WWE, and even then it's hard.

demott was a good commentator but damn i miss bill in the ring
i think lawler is the only thing that saves raw so they should replace jr with heyman or styles coach needs to stay cause the guy is pretty damn funny at times as far as smackdown's tema leave them alone cole and tazz are the best commentating combo in the biz |

Cole and Tazz have improved with time, Smackdown's commentary is quite informative...Raw's is generally shit in comparison.

Tazz speaks from experience and Cole speaks from the "commoners" pov. Lawler uses sexual inuendos and the other day, JR refered to an inverted DDT as "The Unprettier". I"d say this is one aspect where SmackDown has it over on Raw.

I wouldn't be too terribly upset to see King go. JR and King have been around for ages, it's time for some new blood. I heard a while back that Road Warrior Animal was gonna try out for an announcing gig. Anybody heard anything on this?
