Back at the draft, wwe sorta shocked us all by moving JR to SD. This was pretty big news, and we lost the legendary tandem of JR and King.
Now, the reasoning, whichis believeable, and I think was confirmed by JR, was that with SD moving to a new network, they wanted to put JR there, to have some star power and a legend on the mic, hoping it would incread ratings...
Well, here we are like 8 months later, and ratings are largely the same, if not worse, for SD. That has nothing to do with JR, it just means that fans aren't going to tune in just because JR is there. So if JR isn't helping ratings, what do you think of him coming back to Raw?
I have no problem with the tandem of JR and Tazz, but I have heard alot of people on here say how bad the announcing is, and I'm guessing they miss JR and King.
So, what do you think... Should they movee JR back to Raw, and reunite him with King, or leave it with Cole, because he'll be the guy once jr retires anyways...


Note: I'm compeltely neutral on this one, for once, so if you don't agree, don't blast me. I only just thoug U'd bring it up to see what people think.

Back to Raw. Like you said, Cole will be the man when JR retires, not right now. Let Cole hone his skills so he's at least semi-decent on Smackdown while JR lives out the twilight of his career where he belongs.

Cole is barely decent enough to be called a commentator. Last year he was terrible (ruined Taker-Edge for me). JR's doing fine on SmackDown, I say keep Cole on RAW, and let him to get to know some of the wrestlers there and such.

It won't be better with King & JR. It's just all round piss poor. Most things in wrestling right now are.

JR and King work pretty good together so i wouldn't mind him teaming back up with King on Raw. And Cole would work pretty well with Tazz. but TBH I dont really care if JR stays on SD or moves to Raw. Its not that important to me really.

I cant say ratings effect whether Jr and king are on raw or smackdown. Im my opinion jr and tazz should be on raw and king and cole on smackdown. Not cause to get ratings but i think it will suit raw more. But thinking about it more as im typing does it really matter? Its the superstars that matter, half the time i ignore the commentators.

I really dont mind Cole being with King on RAW, I've sort of gotten used to it. You have to sort of look at it this way - Cole and JR are two very different people, and they do their job differently! JR has the 'knack' i believe with the job, he is just awesome at it. to take cole, who i believe did a nice job on smackdown (mainly with tazz, not so much in the limbo with coach) and since going to raw has done a fine job with king. I think King has really helped Cole with his commentating, but at the same time - Cole filling JR's boots will never happen.

I think Cole is fine on Raw with King, he's doing a great job as it is, he's just not doing the 'JR Job' if you could call it that.

I do like the mention of swapping the teams around on the shows though, not a bad idea...

Tazz and JR pwns Cole and King.

Tbh, Cole with Tazz would suck, and Cole with King already sucks. Cole is just unwatchable.


I am counting the days for the day when WWE gives us Matt Striker and JR in commentary

JR won't go back to RAW this year because everything the WWE does is right, therefore there is no sudden change needed after only a year. He'll stay on SmackDown!

I don't want him back on Raw basically just because I think Striker should get Raw next with Cole and than you can put cole with grisham (really didnt have any other idea I just want Striker on Raw) and you can have JR and King calling Smackdown... Hopefully this will happen at this years draft
