No Commentary? Yay, Nay?

[Trip in the Head]

I'm talking post-match on both occasions.

I just can't stand Cole personally. His voice irritates the HELL out of me. I just wanna punch him in his face. :razer:

Had a debate with a friend recently about who the better commentary team is between the WWE Trio and Tenay/Taz. That is NOT an argument you want made about you from either side.

To be honest, from the little bits of AE stuff I watched during the Network trial, so many of the things that were different were production-based and the stuff like commentary. JR and King always talked about the show and even at times stared into the hard camera to recap and get everything that just happened over. These three goofballs now are less on-topic than Shadow, GN, and i during a Raw LD back when we did those.

lol. Michael Cole is one for the greatest commentator in WWE today. Like or not, it's true. Without Michael Cole on commentary, every move on Smackdown would be a sidewalk slam, and there would be near silence on Raw.

I do like Cole alot, he is one of the best they have got. Seriously who replaces Cole?

The only time I liked Cole was when him and Tazz were doing commentary on SmackDown years and years ago. Now he's just meh. Sad but true, he's 'the best' one they've got today, I can stand Cole somehow... But that thing called Lawler is beyond awful. GTFO old man! I'm cool with JBL, though.

Announce team does need some re-working, yes. I vote for Booker.

commentary is fucked right now, on the few occasions I watched NXT, they got it right, but most guys don't have the mic skills to flow.

(and Adrian Neville's theme is awesome, reminds me of Smackdown! Just bring it's overall theme)

I would like to see William Regal becoming a commentator on SmackDown and RAW, seeing as he did a great job at NXT. I doubt that'll happen though, because he's a GM now.

When Cena and Rock made their introductions at Wrestlemania 29, the commentators didn't utter a single word until the bell rang for the match to begin, and for a second, it was refreshing to imagine what it would be like if they had just remained silent for the whole match. That's not just a knock on the state of commentary today either (although commentary today IS at an almost all-time low), it would sometimes just be exhilarating to be able to enjoy the match in the ring with some peace and serenity without having to hear anyone speaking over it.

I'm one of those goobers who find commentary essentially a requirement when watching wrestling, which explains why I haven't watched WWE since Extreme Rules... I've most likely given up on the mediocrity of King/Cole/Even JBL... I liked JBL and Cole ALOT on SD in 06/07 but for some reason I dislike how the trio operate on RAW...

 

[Butters!]

I'm all for Renee Young And William Regal.

I'm actually ok with Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole. It's JBL that I can't stand. I went to a live Raw once, it was weird not hearing the actual commentary.
