The WWE commentary staff is often shat upon by the IWC. Either Cole is too annoying as a heel or not good enough as a play by play guy, or Lawler is just too old (which is true) or Matthews and Dawson are too noobish. Commentary is a crucial part of the wrestling product since it helps tell the story to the viewers. It weaves what happens in the ring into a finely knitted story and so forth. Some even say that a new commentary team can help bring forth a new generation just as much as a new belt or a new babyface. But with all the critique that the commentary of today gets, how would you spice it up?
I'd personally move JBL to RAW to do commentary with Cole. I like face Michael Cole and he and JBL has tons of chemistry. They play off each other so well. Lawler deserves to retire or possibly take on a backstage role or do one of those highlight shows for the Network. As for Smackdown I'd keep Matthews, he's a good play by play guy but like Cole needs someone to work off of. For that I'd bring in someone he has lots of chemistry with, Road Dogg. Dogg and Matthews worked well together on Are you Serious? and could do it as well on screen. Dawson would be worked in somewhere down the line, perhaps as a face color commentary guy to counter either JBL or Road Dogg.
Or are there any other changes you would do to commentary? In the way it is done or else.
How would you change the commentary teams on WWE TV?
Would you change anything else with the commentary?
Can the commentary really have that much impact on the show?
